GoodReadBut how could they change Wyatt's mind? How could they stop Amelia from marrying Christopher? Bella took a deep breath and roughly outlined tonight's events to Justin, naturally omitting the conflict with Wyatt.
She chose to downplay it, afraid of making Justin feel worried and guilty.
Justin's strong arms tightened around her waist, and his expression furrowed. “So, just because you and | are together, Chairman Thompson wants to rush your sister into a marriage with the Iversons? Even if he favors them, this seems too abrupt.” “It seems sudden, but it’s not so unexpected.” Bella shook her head in frustration, her anger manifesting in a sharp grip on Justin’s chest. “Wyatt had been scheming behind our backs. He's never been happy about our relationship. It’s possible he’s already secretly arranged with Chairman Iverson to marry me off to Christopher. After the recent horse racing event, | heard from Steve that news of Wyatt's cordial relationship with Christopher was spreading. It's possible that they were laying the groundwork for the marriage alliance. It’s just that they didn’t expect the ordeal with the Hoffmans and Shannon getting arrested. Otherwise, Wyatt might've publicly announced my engagement with Christopher at the event. He's capable of anything!” Justin felt a burning sensation from her grip—a slight pain that also felt like happiness. “Don’t worry, Bella. Even if Chairman Thompson goes ahead with his plan, do you think | would stand by and watch you get involved with the jerk, Christopher?” He then took her small hand, bringing it up to kiss it. His gaze was burning with intensity. “I'll do whatever it takes to get you back.” Bella thought silently to herself, ‘There was no need to get me back. | have always belonged to you.” Her lashes fluttered softly. “But it’s also thanks to Zoe causing trouble that Wyatt has started to view you differently. Otherwise, he might've forced both Amelia and me to marry into the Iverson family, cutting off any chance for you. So, | believe Chairman Iverson must have pressured Wyatt into making Amelia marry his son. It's truly disgusting!” Seeing Bella so upset, Justin felt uneasy. “Bella, although | hate to say this, Christopher was quite obsessed with you before. He might not even consider marrying your sister. If he wants to win you over, he wouldn't agree to this marriage arrangement. And now that Charles is incapacitated, Chairman Thompson wouldn't allow Amelia to marry him. There's a chance this engagement may end up nowhere.” “Well, although that’s true, Christopher is quite sinister when he sets his mind to it. There's no limit to what he might do.” Bella sighed as she rested her head against his chest. “Maybe this is just one of his schemes. By agreeing to the marriage, he can indirectly pressure me, making me feel intense guilt toward Amelia. Then I'll feel guilty whenever I'm with you. Even if he can’t physically harm us, he still aims to torment us mentally.” “Don’t worry, Bella. We'll face this together and find a solution.” As he spoke, distant thunder rumbled in the sky, followed by lightning streaking across the clouds.
