“There wasn’t much to talk about, to begin with.” Justin sank heavily into the sofa, downing the
champagne in his ss in a gulp.
Thoughts of Be left him feeling suffocated and restless.
He felt so suffocated that he could not catch his breath. His starry eyes burned with frustration.
“Y-You’re unbelievable! If Be is willing to meet you, it must be to
clear the air between the two of you! Why didn’t you seize the opportunity to mend things and win her
over? You don’t seriously want to be my brother-inw, do you?! On behalf of the Hoffman family,
I’ll be the first to oppose your marriage!” Ryan red at Justin, looking like a flustered secretary trying
to talk some sense into his
clueless boss.
“Ryan, do you think I’m the only one at fault here?” Justin’s hand tightened around the ss, his
knuckles straining against his skin a if he were forcibly suppressing some tormenting emotion.
“What do you mean? So, you’re ming Be now, is that it?”
“I don’t know.”
“Justin, you have no right to me Be after all the sacrifices she made for you. If you truly love her,
everything she does will make
sense to you! Don’t even try to reason with women. That’s simply the
stupidest act ever,” Ryan said frankly
As Justin pondered, footsteps approached them.

“Mr. Salvador and Mr. Hoffman, what a pleasure to meet you gentlemen!”
Both of them looked up, and before them stood Cameron and Cecily.
Upon seeing this woman, Justin’s gaze turned cold instantly.
He did not say a word, yet his demeanor made it clear that he did not want to associate with the
Thompson family duo.
Earlier, Cecily had just cried miserably in the parking lot, but now she had reapplied her makeup,
particrly emphasizing her eye makeup. Her pink-tinted eyes appeared quite pitiable and coquettish.
Ryan was not familiar with Cameron, let alone Cecily.
However, as the heir of the Hoffman Group, Ryan would still be polite
to people.
So Ryan stood up, smiled politely, and asked, “Forgive my ignorance.
don’t believe we’ve met before.”
“I’m Cameron Thompson, the Vice Chairman of KS Group.”
With a genial smile, Cameron added, “Oh, now that I think about it, M Salvador is closer to our family.
After all, he had quite a deep rtionship with my eldest niece.”
“Eldest niece?” Ryan was slightly surprised.
“Yes, my elder brother’s pride and joy, Be Thompson. She’s my
niece.”
As Cameron exined, he wrapped his arm around Cecily’s shoulder. With warmth in his voice, he
continued, “Be is Cecily’s cousin. They
grew up together since they were young and have always been close!
Ryan recoiled in surprise.
So, this Cameron guy was actually Wyatt Thompson’s younger
brother!
This came off as a bit of a surprise. Ryan reassessed his opinion of
Cameron.
Cecily noticed that Ryan’s expression had softened considerably, and she could not help but feel a
sense of triumph. Despite being an insignificant member of the Thompson family, Cameron still had the
advantage of their powerful name, whichmanded respect.
“Do you both need something?” Justin asked, his voice cold as he
swirled his champagne ss.
There was no warmth in his reception, not even a hint of it.
In fact, he felt a strong aversion to Cameron’s attempts to cozy up him, especially with his frequent
mentions of Be, as if trying to
his favor.
Over the years, as the president of the Salvador Corporation, Jus has encountered too many insincere
and cunning individuals in th
business world. Although he was young, he had developed a keen ey for discerning people’s true
intentions.
While Cameron may be Wyatt’s brother, he was nothing like Chairman
Thompson.
They, too, were simply notpatible.
“Ahem… Well, you see, my daughter acted rashly in front of you
earlier, Mr. Salvador. She’s here to offer her apologies. But I assure
you, my daughter knows her boundaries. Mr. Salvador, I hope you won’t misunderstand her intentions,”
Cameron added, forcing a smile.
“M-Mr. Salvador, I apologize for my behavior earlier. I’m really sorry…” Cecily added, her hands
sped in front of her, looking quite pitiful.
