“Congrattions, Bethany! You’re about to have a sister-inw soon,” Amy teased with a
smile.
“Oh, your words aren’t urate. It should be ‘another’ sister-inw.” Beatrice joked.
“Nevertheless, novelty 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 oveing
numerous obstacles in recent years, they finally found sess in their rtionship. Right after
divorcing his ex-wife, Justin was now weing 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 ns?”
Upon hearing those, Bethany eagerly scanned the crowd, hoping to catch a glimpse of her crush, the
wealthy and eligible young master, Ryan Hoffman.
Meanwhile, Ryan and Justin were waiting in the luxurious presidential suite.
The two of them sat by the window, impably dressed in stylish suits. They gazed at the dazzling
Savrow skyline, lit up by the bustling city.
Ryan wore a white suit with a ck shirt tonight. He had a ck 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 ck suit, ck shirt,
and ck tie. The only adornment present was the gold dragon design on his cor pin, emphasizing
his exquisite sense of style andmanding presence as a person inplete
control.
Ryan eximed, “Goodness gracious.”
Ryan found it amusing how the man next to him emanated a somber vibe. He couldn’t resist yfully
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, “ck is usually worn during
funerals, but does wearing white change the asion?”
Ryan was surprised and jokingly said, “Wow, it seems like God really knows how to bnce things out.
You have an incredibly handsome face, but it’s paired with a really rude attitude!”
Ryan shifted his attention to the cor 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 cor pin and you act like I’m asking for a leg. Are you bing 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 ce 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 sh her wrists in front of you
the next time?”
Justin 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 n 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 Be?”
Justin felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if his breath had momentar
