Chapter 2329

Bella's fingers tightened against the jagged rock, her attention shifting from Justin to

Clarice. Just then, Clarice reached into the box, took out the tie clip, and, in a swift motion, attached it to Justin's tie before he could react.

He froze, stepping back, but she was quick. Her fingers had already done their work.

"Mr. Justin, it suits you," Clarice's eyes glimmered, her voice soft and beguiling. For any other man, such charm would be irresistible. "It seems that my taste isn't so bad after all."

Justin's gaze darkened, visibly displeased. Yet out of politeness and the fact that she was closely associated with his elder brother, he refrained from any response that might embarrass her.
