Bella gave him a peck on the cheek and said, “Good job.”
Justin, feeling pleased with his reward, squinted happily with his starry eyes. “Oh, there's one more thing. The Iverson family has
made a move.”
Bella instantly perked up. “Oh, really? What is it?”
“They are planning to hold a press conference to clarify what happened in the previous meeting.”
“Clarify? | think they're just trying to dodge responsibility and shift the blame.” Bella giggled softly, tracing a heart on his chest
with her fingertips.
“The Iverson family had put so much effort into Theodore, and now that he had failed, they're probably worried about getting in
trouble with the higher-ups.”
Justin's gaze turned cold as he said, “To prove their sincerity, the Iverson Group will surely organize a press conference very soon,
perhaps within the next few days.”
“Hmph, Theodore’s behavior as the corrupt councilman is inexcusable, but it’s truly despicable how the Iverson family acts all high
and mighty after turning their backs on him.”
“Don’t worry, Bella. | promised to seek justice for Amelia, and | won't give up easily. Anyone who hurts you or your loved ones will
face severe consequences,” Justin said through gritted teeth with a fierce determination in his voice.
Bella smiled joyfully as she listened to his powerful and steady heartbeat, her eyes squinting with delight.
Another reason she loved Justin was because of his strong commitment to fairness and his fearless sense of justice. They both
shared similar values, believing in kindness and working toward a better world.

A wave of tender soreness filled his chest instantly, and his throat tightened slightly. “Bella, what exactly happened to your finger?
Can you tell me?”
“It's nothing, just a little accident from climbing trees when | was a child. It doesn’t bother me.”

“Because it's about you,” Justin said softly, leaning down to give a gentle kiss on her forehead. “Even if it's a little thing, everything
involving you deeply affectsand echoes deeply in my heart.”
“Justin, | know you've always felt regretful and guilty about what happened in the past, and it's been hard for you to lookin the
eye, but | hate seeing you like this.”
Bella felt a wave of sadness as she lightly touched his chiseled cheek. “I understand how tough it is to feel small and unworthy in
front of someone you love. | don't want you to struggle with self-doubt, denial, and pain.”
She continued, “Our journey hasn't been easy, and | wish our relationship could be happy and uncomplicated, as simple and pure
as everyone else.”

It was a mix of powerful and tender emotions.
Bella felt lightheaded and fragile, like she was drifting into the sky.
“Bella, after we're done with the Iverson family, let's go to Switzerland,” Justin whispered in her ear.
“We can have a great tthere. Didn't you say you wanted to see the mountains? I'll go with you.”
