Chapter 40
Justin attended the country’s top military academy and joined the army for three years. Even though he retired from the army and became a businessman, he was still very fit.
Therefore, Axel’s punch only bruised the corners of Justin’s lips, but his body remained motionless.
“Fuck! My love rival!” Ryan secretly cursed but did not dare to say it openly.
That was because he remembered what Anna said to him earlier. He was the third party in their relationship, so he should not be too arrogant.
Axel was furious and punched Justin again, but Justin quickly dodged him.
“Justin Salvador! I told you to stay away from Anna! You shameless bastard!”
Axel was panting, and his eyes were bloodshot. “If anything happens to Anna, I will skin you alive! I won’t let you and your company off the hook!”
“Mr. Thompson, you’re overreacting. It’s just a dislocation…” Ryan was afraid that Justin and Asher” would get into a head-on fight and quickly came to break them up.
“Oh, just a dislocation?!”
Axel’s mouth twitched, and his eyes were filled with anger. “You two treat women like toys! How can you possibly understand my feelings? Anna is my favorite woman, and I will protect her until the day
I die. Stop thinking about her and stay away from her!”
Axel meant what he said.
Bella was his priority. Even his wife would come second.
Justin’s eyelashes trembled. That confession was so direct and affectionate. Justin had never had the courage to express his love for a woman like this.
After leaving Justin, “Anna” became more eye-catching and brilliant. Asher and Ryan were both interested in her.
Justin could not describe his sour mood.
He felt like a fool who lost a treasure, which had become so sought after later. But he became reluctant to part with it.
“Justin, just you wait! I will sue you!”
Axel pointed fiercely at Justin’s cold face and thought that he would get Drew to kill Justin later.
“Okay, but I’d like to correct you.
Justin met Axel’s sharp gaze with an expressionless face. “My divorce with Anna isn’t finalized yet, so she is still legally my wife and a member of the Salvador family.”
Ryan was speechless and thought that this guy was really good at killing people.
Axel was so angry that he wanted to spit at Justin, but he was a sophisticated man.
“Mr. Thompson.”
A soft yet prominent voice sounded. All three of them turned their heads in that direction.
Bella was standing there with her left arm in a cast. Her eyes were calm, and her pretty face was a little pale, like a fragile and lonely doll.
Justin narrowed his eyes. His throat felt dry.
The corridor was wide and empty.
Bella stood there alone. Her features were delicate, and her eyes shone brightly. They looked so clean and pure that the three men felt an urge to protect her.
Suddenly, a distant memory flashed in his mind.
Anna…
Justin felt a stabbing pain in his head, but soon the pain and fragmented memory disappeared.
Axel hurriedly ran to his sister in distress. His eyes were red. “Does it hurt?”
“It doesn’t hurt anymore. Let’s go home.” Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Bella smiled gently at her brother. Her smile was bright and affectionate.
Justin was irritated by this scene.
Axel put his arms around Bella’s slim waist and walked toward the other end of the corridor.
Bella did not even bother to look at her ex-husband.
Justin just felt indignant. He was about to step forward when Ryan grabbed his arm.
“Justin, that’s enough. Don’t chase after her. You were the one at fault when you injured her. Don’t you know who called Asher over? She just wants to see him, so don’t go over there and ask for trouble!”
Seeing “Asher” supporting “Anna” and disappearing from the corridor, Justin clenched his fists and felt as if he had lost his breath.
Axel called Steven, who was still confused about the situation when he rushed over.
Steven asked, “Ms. Bella! What’s going on? Who hurt you?!”
“That bastard Justin hurt me!”
