After a short drive, Bella's expression suddenly changed. She clenched her delicate hands, which bore marks of Justin's kisses, into fists and began pounding on his chest. "Bella, take it easy, or your hands will hurt." Justin's voice trembled from her blows.

Driving, Steven stole a glance in the rearview mirror, unable to suppress a smile.

"Justin, I have a question for you." Bella poked his firm chest with her finger, anger radiating from her. "Did you know about Carrie's engagement to Mayor Solloway's son?" Justin's dark eyes narrowed, and he grabbed her hand. "Bella, how did you find out about that?"

"How did I find out?! The whole city of Savrow probably knows by now!"

Bella recounted everything Axel had told her.

"Damn it!"

Justin slammed a fist into the car window in a rage. "The Solloways are spreading this news to force Gregory to finalize the engagement plans with their family as quickly as possible!"

"They can forget about it. In this day and age, you can't just force someone into marriage!" Bella bit her lip. "As long as Carrie doesn't want it, it doesn't matter. Don't they dare even think about touching her!" "But Carrie agreed to it."

"What?! Why?!" Bella and Steven exclaimed in unison.

"She said being with Ryan was too exhausting."

"That's a lie!" Bella said.

"She said being with Ryan would only bring trouble to him and Yasmin. She didn't want to be a burden to the people she loves."

"She could just leave Ryan then. Why marry Jason Solloway?"

Bella's dark almond eyes showed suspicion. "Did Chairman Salvador pressure her or say something to her?"
