Chapter 489
Bella could feel the burning warmth of Justin’s palm pulse through her flesh.
Crazy bastard!
What on earth had gotten into him again? She wanted his dirty hands off her.
As if he could tell that she wanted to break free, Justin tightened his grip to the point that he was almost crushing her shoulder. He was forcefully keeping them close.
Everyone was shocked to see the formerly married pair so close to each other.
Only Nigel smiled widely in a surprised but relieved manner. His slightly gloomy mood vanished instantly.
Nigel thought, ‘Ah! Was Anna back together with Justin?! Though her expression did not seem too happy, did it not? Oh, whatever! It did matter if Justin was being persistent or overbearing. My wooden block of a grandson has finally been enlightened! This is great ne that there has been progress in their relationship! I might just set fireworks in celebration!’
Bella could no longer bear it and slowly lifted her foot while the others were distracted before stomping on Justin heavily.
“Ugh!” Justin frowned slightly, and he grunted in pain, but only Bella could hear it.
She smiled evilly as she ground the stiletto she was wearing viciously into Justin’s high-end, handmade leather loafer.
Phew! Bella felt much better now to see Justin in pain.
However, Justin was in so much pain that his thin lips were trembling.
The intense pain almost made his soul leave his body.
He gritted his teeth as he slowly turned his gaze to the woman in his arms, whose face had satisfaction written all over it.
Unconsciously, his frown slowly smoothed out. ‘Ha! Did bullying me make her so happy? If that’s the case, I don’t mind letting her step on me again.’
“Grandpa! I’ve been falsely accused!”
Bethany felt that, at this rate, the formerly married pair were going to sentence her to death in front of her grandfather. Thus, she pulled Hunter along to make herself look innocent. “If I really was guilty, I would not have been acquitted, even if Mr. Lovett was an all-powerful lawyer! The police aren’t idiots. Wouldn’t real criminals leave behind some evidence? It was all this wicked woman’s fault. She made things up to frame me!”
“Old Master Nigel, the police have a strict process for handling cases.”
Hunter spoke up for Bethany then. “I am Ms. Bethany’s lawyer. All I can do is make sure that things are in my client’s favor as much as legally possible. I can’t make what’s false become true either.”
He turned to look at Bella with a sinister gaze. “Ms. Thompson, I don’t know what personal grudges you hold against my client, but I still don’t think you should use dishonorable means to solve the issue. And besides, considering Chairman Thompson’s magnanimity, his daughter should have the grace to be tolerant of others, shouldn’t she?”
