The members of the Salvador team looked at each other in astonishment. Ian suddenly felt his vision


    go dark, as if a thunderbolt had struck him from above.


    Seeing Justin’s expression turn stormy, Rosalind, thinking she was offering helpful advice, quickly said,


    “Justin, you don’t need to worry. It’s just a garden. There are plenty of ces like this in the country. We


    can contact other ces…”


    Before she could finish her sentence, Justin abruptly pulled his arm out of her embrace. The force was


    too much, causing her to stagger backward, feeling embarrassed.


    “Let’s go, Mr. Iverson,” Be didn’t bother giving them another nce. She smiled politely at


    Christopher.


    Christopher replied, “Sure, I’ve already booked a restaurant. We can go there anytime.”


    The two shared a smile, leaving Justin feeling as if an invisible hand was strangling his throat, his


    brows tightly furrowed.


    He quickly stepped forward, blocking Christopher.


    “Mr. Iverson, let’s talk privately,” he said, his tone still strong, showing no sign of weakness due to the


    failed project negotiation.


    “If it’s about the Rose Manor project, I don’t think there’s anything left to discuss with Mr. Salvador,”


    Christopher replied, unwilling to waste time with him.


    Justin interjected, “What if it’s about something else?”


    As he spoke, Justin’s dark gazended on Be’s face.


    Christopher led Justin to a European-style pavilion in Rose Manor. They took their seats, facing each


    other amidst vibrant flowers, yet the room exuded a chilly and oppressive atmosphere.


    Looking impatiently at his watch, Christopher urged, “Mr. Salvador, let’s get to the point. I have a date


    with Ms. Thompson that I need to return to.”


    “A date? Weren’t we here to discuss cooperation?” Justin, unwilling to concede, especially when it


    came to Be, instinctively resisted letting Christopher gain the upper hand. “Maybe that’s just wishful


    thinking on your part. After all, Be was my wife for three years. I know her much better than you do.”


    “Is that so?” Christopher shrugged dismissively, a hint of mockery in his tone. “It’s only been three


    years, and it was only a marriage in name… Mr. Salvador, where does your confidence stem from? Do


    you really believe you understand Be better than I do?”


    “You investigated me?” Justin questioned as he clenched his fist in anger. His eyes were chilly.


    Christopher smiled and shook his head. “Everything I’ve done is for Be, and it has nothing to do with


    you from the beginning till the end. My coboration with her this time wasn’t about snatching her from


    you. She’s the one I’ve been waiting for, and besides her, I won’t let anyone else intervene here.”

    Christopher added, “I know your subordinate contacted someone from mypany. I just didn’t have


    the chance to tell you in person. From the beginning, I never intended to cooperate with Salvador


    Corporation.”


    He emphasized the name “Be” so warmly!


    Justin quietly exhaled, his deep gaze flickering like a night fire. “Christopher, even though you’ve


    recently returned to the country, I’m notpletely ignorant about you. Like Be, people who don’t


    know you well might be deceived by the fa?ade you present. However, I won’t be fooled. I’ve heard


    enough about what you did in Sentania.”


    In Sentania, Christopher was indeed the embodiment of wealth and desire-a beautiful yet infamous


    figure. However, he couldpletely conceal his true nature before Be, presenting a gentle and


    humble image. It was evident how deep and cunning this man’s scheming was.


    Indeed, they are divorced, and everything about Be is no longer his concern. But seeing her getting


    closer to Christopher, Justin could not help but feel a mix of anger, hatred, and fear.


    Christopher’s lips curled into a faint smile, and he casually adjusted his sses. He didn’t bother to


    refute Justin’s words.


    “You neverck women by your side. But Be is not a woman you can y with, not someone you can


    casually provoke, engage in a bit of romance, and captivate with a few bouquets of roses.” Justin’s


    handsome face carried a deep and frosty demeanor.


    A few secondster, Christopher couldn’t help but sneer, “It’s strange. Since you are so reluctant to part


    with Be and care about her, why did you divorce her and marry someone else in the first ce?”


    This question hit the nail on the head, leaving Justin stunned and speechless. Pain and regret shed


    through his heart, shaking his entire soul.


    Christopher continued, “I am very clear about what kind of person I am. Even if I am irredeemable, my


    sincere heart for Be will always remain pure and loyal. I can’t say the same for you, Mr. Salvador,


    who married Be but still harbors thoughts for others, hurting her to the core. Anyone else in this world


    has the right to say these words to me, but not you.”


    Christopher’s brows furrowed, his tone bing colder as he added, “Regardless of whether you


    regret it now or not, you are already divorced. Whoever she is with, likes, or loves in the future has


    nothing to do with you.”


    He then stood up and walked towards the exit of the pavilion. Stopping abruptly, he turned back,


    observing Justin, who seemed frozen like a sculpture.


    He said, “My feelings for her existed long ago. In my eyes, those three years are not worth mentioning.”


    Left alone in the pavilion, Justin, reflecting on Christopher’s words, had a face as pale as paper, his


    broad shoulders trembling ever so slightly.
