"Love rival?" Be propped her cheek with her left hand while tossing a blueberry into Justin''s mouth


    with her right. "You, Ryan Hoffman, have a love rival? That''s unheard of."


    Justin scoffed derisively, "My sister is practically under house arrest with you. Apart from you and your


    female secretary, who does she even meet? She has no social life, so where could your love rival


    possiblye from? Her dreams?"

    "That''s right!" Ryan mmed his palm on the table, his voice cracking with urgency.


    Recalling the previous night, Ryan heard his girlfriend murmuring another man''s name, Ralph.


    She called out another man''s name in her dreams!


    Ryan felt his heart shatter into fragments like broken ss.


    "You don''t mean my brother, Ralph, right?" Be looked at him with a chilly gaze.


    Justin froze, wondering how this was linked to Ralph Thompson.


    Ryan''s eyes widened, staring at Be with admiration. "Be, how did you know? Are you a psychic?!"


    "Psychic, my foot."


    Be was beyond exasperated. "It''s obvious from your expression. Last night, I noticed how you were


    staring at my brother. It was as obvious as a sore thumb. I immediately felt something was off. Mr.


    Hoffman, are you perhaps making a mountain out of a molehill? The Thompson men are all men of


    integrity, certainly not the type to be homewreckers. Don''t see every man who chats with Carrie as a


    rival." "Ralph isn''t that kind of person. Ryan, you shouldn''t suspect Be''s brother," Justin said as he


    wrapped his arms around his petite partner, also finding Ryan''s suspicions somewhat ridiculous. Ryan


    sighed heavily, knowing it was better not to continue this line of thought to avoid sounding like a


    whining kid.


    "Ah... No wonder you''re in a rush to register your marriage with Carrie. It''s all because you''re feeling


    threatened."


    Be quickly figured out Ryan''s concerns and lightly chided him, "Hey! Are you really getting worked up


    over something so trivial? How immature."


    Ryan pressed his lips together in embarrassment, remaining silent.


    "Let''s think about the marriage registration more before making a firm decision."


    As Justin''s expression grew stern, he spoke seriously. "Right now, you need to handle your family


    issues first. Once you''re firmly established at the Hoffman Group, everything else will fall into ce."


    Still, Ryan felt uneasy.


    His wife could only be Carrie. Yet, it was not certain that she would choose him as her husband. He


    genuinely feared that some other man might easily sway her because she was so innocent. When love


    ran deep, it often made people have a fear of loss.


    As they were finishing their breakfast,n came back with updates.


    "Young Madam! You''re so good at predicting things. Charles Iverson got arrested!"


    "Damn! He''s the worst of the worst!" Ryan eximed angrily, mming his fist on the table.


    Hearing of Charles'' brutal acts, Justin was deeply angered as well.


    Yet, amid his fury, his admiration for his partner only deepened. He instinctively held Be''s smooth


    shoulders tightly and drew her into his arms, cherishing her like a priceless gem.


    "Be, Ryan wasn''t wrong. You really are divine, incredibly intelligent, and as stunning as an angel."


    "Of course! Enough with the smooth talk."


    Be yfully chided, although she secretly enjoyed the ttery. "It''s a shame, though, that Charles got


    caught on camerapletely nude. Some reporters were live streaming the arrest and didn''t even


    have time to censor it. Oh... I''m a bit disappointed I missed out on such a thrilling broadcast. The


    uncensored footage must''ve been quite a spectacle!"


    Justin found himself both entertained and bewildered by his partner''s bold statement, sometimes


    verging on the wild. Initially, he was not used to it, but he found it utterly appealing.


    A woman as fierce and feisty as Be perfectly matched his taste.


    "All the videos online now are censored, but if you want, Be, I can find you the original version." With


    that, Ryan winked at Be.


    The couple stared at him, their faces etched with bewilderment. They were speechless.


    Was he genuinely clueless or just pretending to be naive?


    "Now that Astrid and Charles are out of the picture, it''s as if James'' arms were broken."


    Justin''s expression grew icy. His face was covered in frost. "With his siblings gone, he''ll share the same


    fate. James must be in utter panic now. Soon, the entire Iverson Group will turn into a battleground


    between him and Christopher. Jamescks talent, but he''s extremely cunning. His fight with


    Christopher will be like that of a snake and a scorpion trapped in the same cage. It''ll be quite the


    spectacle."


    Be furrowed her delicate brows, not showing any sign of triumph. "Don''t celebrate too early. The


    Iverson snake is much stronger than we anticipated. Yesterday, I contacted my elder brother to buy a


    large number of the Iverson Group''s stocks while they were plummeting, attempting to gain control.


    Unexpectedly, there was a master maniptor behind the scenes at the Iverson Group, injecting


    substantial funds to stabilize the situation. This averted my brother''s acquisition."


    Justin''s brows furrowed deeply. "So, is this maniptor Christopher Iverson?"


    "If he can manipte the elections in Sentania, do you think he wouldn''t have the ability to control the


    stock market? Afterying low in Sentania for fifteen years, he''s definitely back, well-prepared to take


    over the Iverson Group."


    Be closed her eyes, clenching her shining white teeth. "The Iverson Group cannot fall into his


    hands."


    "Even if we can''t stop him, it doesn''t matter." Justin''s eyes softened as he gently kissed Be''s


    forehead. "It would be the greatest humiliation for him if the Iverson Group that he schemed to acquire


    turned out to be an empty shell and a mess."


    Be''s eyes sparkled, nodding in agreement.


    "By the way, Mr. Salvador, Young Madam. There''s one more thing."


    With no time to drink water,n hurriedly continued his report. "I''m not sure if this counts as news, but


    Christopher has bought a private jet that arrivedst night in Savrow. Wow... I saw the photos taken by


    my subordinates, and that ne is incredibly luxurious! It''s even more high-end than your model, Mr.


    Salvador. It was truly extravagant!"


    Justin''s expression darkened. "If you like big nes that much, join him then. Let him give you a ride."
