Everyone was feasting and drinking to their heart's content, completely unaware of the couple's fashionably late arrival. Justin and Bella even changed their outfits.
At this moment, Justin felt the warmth of love, dispelling the gloom in his heart. He stood beside Bella with a radiant and confident demeanor. Despite the brilliance of the Thompson siblings, he remained distinguished and exuded exceptional charm.

Amelia and Rachel sat together, resting their chins in their hands, gazing at Justin with admiration. Although both of them had their hearts set on someone else, they still appreciated beauty. Who would not take a few more glances at such eye candy? Meanwhile, Steven and Axel, who were sitting next to the ladies, were staring daggers at Justin. Despite their intense jealousy, they could only keep their frustration to themselves.
How would they dare challenge Bella's man? They still wanted to live out their days in peace! During the party, toasts were exchanged amidst continuous laughter and joy. For a moment, it seemed like the event was an appreciation banquet for Bella and Justin.
With her outgoing personality, Roza had a knack for livening up the atmosphere. When Justin finished giving his toast, she quickly hugged Bella and started singing karaoke on the microphone.
Axel frowned and kept stuffing meat into his mouth. His increasingly heated gaze never left Roza's beautiful and bubbly face. Asher sat beside him, elegantly cutting his meat with a knife and fork, when he suddenly made an out-of-the-blue comment. "This girl, Roza... I really like her. She has a great personality, speaks elegantly, and though she seems carefree, she actually has high emotional intelligence and knows how to take care of others." Axel chewed forcefully, his long lashes quivering. "She's just a brainless madwoman! What's so good about her?" "Then why do you keep staring at her?" Asher chuckled softly. Asher knew his younger brother's character well and exposed him. Axel nearly choked on his food. His face was turning red. "Cough... Cough... That's because her singing is so terrible! It's ruining my appetite!" "That can ruin your appetite, Ax? I don't believe it." Ralph took a bite of his meat skewer, glancing sideways at him, and laughed. "Nothing can interrupt your meal. remember you used to eat while reading forensic reports at work. This is nothing." S Axel's cheeks flushed red, so he drank water to ease his embarrassment.
Meanwhile, Asher had just carefully cut up the meat and vegetables on his plate. He had not taken a single bite, but when he looked back, he found the meat missing.
His deep eyes glanced around to see Arnold, who was leisurely eating from his plate. Arnold narrowed his eyes, smiling with smug delight.

"Are you a child? Do I need to cut it up and put it on your plate piece by piece?" Asher withdrew his enigmatic gaze and continued cutting the meat. "Or should feed you?" "Sure, sure!" Arnold's eyes brightened, and he nodded enthusiastically.
"You really dare to dream." Asher scoffed lightly, his knife and fork moving steadily.
"Why would I not dare? Last tinthe car, you said something tothat I have not forgotten. You wouldn't go back on your word, would you, Mr. Thompson? You said you would peel nuts for me, but haven't done that yet. Now you begrudgefor just a fe meat?" pieces of Arnold pouted in mock reproach. Meanwhile, under the table, his toes hooked onto the straight trousers of the man beside him, inching upward provocatively.
