Cecily was crying in the car with snot and tears streaming down her face. Her makeup smudged


    messily across her eyes, making it hard to even look at her.


    “Stop it! What are you crying for? Look at yourself! You’re so pathetic!” Cameron eximed, his nose


    ring in irritation.

    “Sob… Sob… What’s wrong with crying? I made aplete fool of myself in front of so many people.


    What’s wrong with shedding a few


    tears?”


    Cecily sniffed miserably, wiping away her tears. “Mr. Salvador is just too much… I fell right in front of


    him, and he didn’t even bother to help me up! How could he just ignore me like that? He’s only


    interested in that despicable Be! She’s got himpletely wrapped around her


    finger!”


    Cameron recalled Justin’s cold, indifferent gaze that was fixed on


    Be, and it fueled his anger.


    “Dad… Mr. Salvador is definitely still hung up on Be! What am I supposed to do?” Cecily sobbed.


    “What kind of nonsense is that?! If he had still been interested in her, they wouldn’t have gotten a


    divorce! They got a divorce because they


    couldn’t stand each other for another day!”


    Cameron sighed heavily, his gaze darkening. “Right now, if you want to get closer to Justin, Be isn’t


    your only obstacle! There’s also that girl from the Hoffman family!”


    Thinking of Zoe, Cecily felt a headacheing on.


    On top of that, rumors of a marriage alliance between the Hoffmans and Salvadors were circting


    widely, fueled by Zoe’s recent scandal involving Justin in the hotel.


    But for some reason, she always felt that Zoe, that inexperienced girl, was not much of a threat.


    It was Be who she was afraid of. Cecily felt like Be was hovering over her like a sword ready to fall


    on her head, constantly giving her a sense of impending danger. Be’s presence is like a bone stuck


    in her throat, like a thorn in her side, like sitting on pins and needles!


    “Yeah… And that girl from the Hoffman family…”


    Cecily sniffled, “Mr. Salvador is really something. I can understand if he favors Be, but how can he


    still be tangled up with that Zoe girl? Am I not even as good as that brat?”


    “You. You’re usually quite sharp, yet somehow oblivious in matters


    the heart.”


    Cameron disdainfully clicked his tongue. “Justin doesn’t see Zoe as his equal. Maybe this whole hotel


    rendezvous thing was just some scheme Zoe cooked up to marry Justin so that she could be the


    lady boss of the Salvador Corporation. If Justin really had feelings for


    that Hoffman girl, why hasn’t he made any official announcements or


    derations yet? I don’t think this marriage alliance will actually


    happen!”


    Upon hearing this, Cecily had a sudden epiphany.


    She always listened to her father, knowing he was a very decisive


    person. Otherwise, he would not have stood a chance against her decisive and ruthless Uncle Wyatt.


    “Well, since the Hoffmans can resort to such tactics, why can’t we? Right now, it’s better to seize the


    opportunity when it presents itself.” Cameron narrowed his eyes.


    Cecily quickly asked, “Dad, what do you mean?”


    “Cecily, as the saying goes, if you don’t let go of the bait, you’ll never catch the fish. If you don’t give up


    your dignity, you won’t get a rich


    husband!”


    Cameron patted Cecily’s shoulder heavily. “In my opinion, if you truly desire Mr. Salvador, you have to


    let go of your morals and take a risk.”


    Morals? She never had them to begin with.


    Take risks? That was definitely necessary.


    If she was unwilling to take risks, how did she expect to marry Justin?


    “Dad! My dear daddy, do you have any ideas in mind? Tell me quickly Cecily hooked her arm around


    Cameron’s and coquettishly asked.


    “As things stand, your chances of privately meeting Justin are not


    plentiful, so you must seize every opportunity!” Cameron whispered in


    her ear for a while, and Cecily’s tightly furrowed brow suddenly


    rxed, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.


    “Got it, Dad. To be Mr. Salvador’s wife, I’ll do anything you ask of me!””


    Justin returned to the banquet hall, visibly in a sour mood.


    =Ryan immediately rushed to his side, carefully observing him for a moment before tentatively asking,


    “What’s wrong? You didn’t have a fallout with Be, did you?”
