Bella explained, "I was just thinking about our conversation with your brother earlier tonight. It was really thought-provoking." Justin said, "This is the last tsomething like this is happening."

I'll take care of everything and protect you and Grandpa." "If your brother comes back and demands you give up your position as Salvador Corporation's president as a favor, would you do it?" Bella asked seriously, gazing at him with eyes shining like morning stars while lying on his chest.
