Chapter 287
Amidst the celebration, Bethany was chatting with several acquaintances.
“Congratulations, Bethany! You’re about to have a sister-in-law soon,” Amy teased with a
smile.
“Oh, your words aren’t accurate. It should be ‘another’ sister-in-law.” Beatrice joked.
“Nevertheless, ty always trumps the old, right? Besides, Ms. Gold is also the niece of
Mrs. Salvador. It’s a double kinship. They should get along very well in the future. Don’t
you think so?”
Bethany smiled with a thin disguise, concealing her true feelings. ‘As if we’ll get along!’
Amy remarked, “I heard before that Rosalind and Justin were childhood sweethearts. After
overcoming numerous obstacles in recent years, they finally found success in their
relationship. Right after divorcing his ex-wife, Justin was now welcoming her into the
family. It seems like their love is undeniable.”
Beatrice added, “Bethany, when will your brother stop attracting so much romantic
interest? When will you introduce a boyfriend and let us relish the sweetness of your
wedding plans?”
Upon hearing those, Bethany eagerly scanned the crowd, hoping to catch a glimpse of her
crush, the wealthy and eligible young master, Ryan Hoffman.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMeanwhile, Ryan and Justin were waiting in the luxurious presidential suite.
The two of them sat by the window, impeccably dressed in stylish suits. They gazed at the
dazzling Savrow skyline, lit up by the bustling city.
Ryan wore a white suit with a black shirt tonight. He had a black choker with a golden rose
pendant around his neck that added a touch of aristocratic charm and seduction to his
overall appearance. As a result, he looked incredibly appealing and irresistible.
Justin, on the other hand, was dressed in his customary outfit, consisting of a black suit,
black shirt, and black tie. The only adornment present was the gold dragon design on his
collar pin, emphasizing his exquisite sense of style and commanding presence as a person
in complete
control.
Ryan exclaimed, “Goodness gracious.”
Ryan found it amusing how the man next to him emanated a somber vibe. He couldn’t
resist playfully teasing Justin. “If someone sees you dressed like that, they might think
you’re going to a funeral instead of a birthday party.”
Justin had a cold expression on his face and replied sarcastically, “Black is usually worn
during funerals, but does wearing white change the occasion?”
Ryan was surprised and jokingly said, “Wow, it seems like God really knows how to
balance things out. You have an incredibly handsome face, but it’s paired with a really
rude attitude!”
Ryan shifted his attention to the collar pin on Justin’s neck and remarked, “This little thing
is quite unique. Can I borrow it for a couple of days?”
Justin responded firmly, “Absolutely not.”
Ryan let out a sigh and said, “Back in the day, we used to share each other’s underwear.
Now I only ask to borrow a collar pin and you act like I’m asking for a leg. Are you
becoming stingier as you age?”
Ian entered the room in a hurry and walked straight to them. “Excuse me, sir. Ms. Rosalind
sent me to remind you that the opening speech for the birthday banquet is about to start.
She kindly invites you to join her on stage.”
Justin coldly refused, “I’m not going.”
Ian’s eyebrow twitched with satisfaction. “Alright, I’ll go inform her that you will not be
attending!” He just loved seeing his boss put Ms. Rosalind in her place and felt
inexplicably satisfied.
Ryan teased at him from the corner, “After she just recovered from a depressive episode
and attempted suicide, you’re provoking her again. Aren’t you afraid she’ll slash her wrists
in front of you the next time?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJustin wore a somber expression. “I can’t be on stage with her for the event tonight,” he
stated, his voice devoid of emotion.
Ryan wondered in bewilderment, “Why not? Aren’t you dating her?”
Justin simply responded, “I have decided to break up with her.”
Ryan’s eyes widened in disbelief at what he had just heard. On the other hand, Ian was so
shocked that he almost shouted in excitement!
Justin looked down and spoke in a calm tone, “I haven’t told her yet because I want to
make sure she’s healthy and well before I do so.” He continued, “Once she’s stable, I plan
on breaking up with her. I want to reduce the damage as much as possible. After all, she
saved me once.”
Ryan blinked his eyes, seemingly enlightened. Suddenly, he leaned towards Justin and
asked, ” Justin, please tell me the truth. Are you breaking up with Rosalind because you
have feelings for Bella?”
Justin felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if his breath had momentarily stopped. Then, he
forcefully replied, “No, I’m not.”
