After saying a few more harsh words, Timothy Knight left with his lackeys, an aloof expression on his face.Justin and Bella presented a different scene. Bella's face was filled with worry and a hint of reproach as she frowned and said, "Why did you agree to his dance battle? He's really good and you've never learned street dancing before. There's no way you can beat him.""Is he really that good? I didn't think so. I just find him annoying like a fly buzzing around you. You're my girl now and I don't want to see him harassing you like an irritating insect. This time, I have to make him understand his place. Some people can't get close to you just because they want to, like him. You're off limits," Justin replied. Hearing this, Bella was deeply moved. She enjoyed feeling protected this way. In this moment, she felt that as long as Justin was by her side, even if the sky fell down, she would not be afraid.However, her blissful thoughts of their blossoming romance were short-lived. Be
"Damn, bro! You using cheats or something? How'd you get so good all of a sudden? With those street dance skills, you've got nothing to fear from Timothy Knight. Just go out there and destroy him," Murray exclaimed, pumping his fist excitedly as if he had personally defeated Timothy himself.Justin merely shook his head at the praise, shrugging off the challenge as a minor issue far beneath his notice.Time flew by, and the day of the festival arrived before they knew it.The process was about the same as always. The principal went up on stage and gave a speech, basically saying the semester was over and encouraging everyone to keep working hard. That took up half an hour, during which the students below listened with utter boredom, nearly falling asleep. It was more effective than a lullaby. But the principal didn't seem to notice, continuing to pontificate pompously in an endless stream of platitudes. Justin was nearly driven mad.At that moment, he and the others were backstage do
"Hahaha, excellent idea! I'll leave this matter to you then. Find me a couple of capable hands. I must make him suffer this time."After rousing everyone's emotions with his heartfelt speech, Justin began his performance.The backstage lighting technician extinguished all the stage lights, leaving only a single spotlight shining on Justin. Dressed in a white suit, one hand tucked in his pocket and the other shading his eyes under a hat brim, he exuded an indescribable aura of depth and charm, like a dark angel mesmerizing the crowd below with silent intimidation.Gradually, the sounds of support and chatter from the audience faded away as all eyes locked onto Justin, barely daring to breathe.Watching this scene unfold, Timothy felt an ominous premonition rise within him.Instead of lively music, the backdrop was a low, infectious melody. Compared to Timothy's earlier fanfare, the subdued music complemented Justin's nearly perfect transformed physique and features, giving him a captiv
Though thinking about it, Timothy felt a twinge of envy towards Justin. Just what kind of good karma did this guy accumulate in his past life? To be surrounded by one stunning beauty after another while he, Timothy, had swaggered for so long yet couldn't even get Bella?This was an opportunity. Maybe he could take advantage and win all three girls over. Then he could live a heavenly existence. Hahahaha!So Timothy leapt out dramatically before the crowds and shouted, "Justin, you scumbag! You're the worst, deceiving the feelings of two such gorgeous ladies, and still trying to seduce Bella! Do you think you've been fair to these beauties who trusted you?"Hearing this, black lines fell down Justin's face. Things were chaotic enough without this clown Timothy barging in seeking attention. What a shit-stirrer. Bella was clever enough to see through Timothy's ploy immediately. Of course she would stand up for Justin now."Timothy Knight, I've told you before, we're just ordinary classma
"Damn, can't believe Timothy was actually like this! We were really fooled by that fake nice guy act. Now his true colors are shown plain as day. I declare he's no longer my idol. I was blind to worship someone like him before," one student declared."No different from those other spoiled brats in the end. So he's been putting on an act this whole time. Gotta admit, his acting skills are Oscar-worthy," another commented wryly.The students buzzed, incredulous that the modest, courteous gentleman in their eyes could have such a despicable side. Many fans instantly turned against Timothy. Some lovestruck girls even dramatically fainted, as if their worldview had been shattered.Seeing the video playing overhead, Timothy turned ghostly pale. He hadn't expected Justin to record it, much less broadcast it so publicly. His image was utterly destroyed. Furious, he charged at Justin."You bastard, how dare you frame me! I'll kill you!"Facing the incoming assault, Justin reacted without hesit
Not just him, even the employees below were beaming with smiles, filled with a strong sense of accomplishment and pride. What could the old families of Nova State do? They had been left in shambles overnight.But just as he was speaking animatedly, his phone suddenly rang. Seeing it was his boss, he stopped talking and gestured for everyone to quiet down. He then hurried to the side to take the call."Hello, Boss! I was just about to share the good news when you called. What? You were stopped at the entrance? What are those guards doing? How dare they stop even you - do they want to keep their jobs or not? I'll come get you right away and fire those guys, let them scram. What? You don't want me to fire them but to give them a raise and promotion instead? Boss, you're joking right? Oh, okay, I'll be right there."After saying this, Cameron West left the conference room, rushing downstairs because the elevator was taking too long. He almost broke the elevator button from mashing it, and
Seeing the smiles on the employees' faces, Justin also felt very happy. He could finally use his own ability to bring everyone happiness - it felt great.But such generous benefits shocked Cameron West and the other executives. Cameron pulled Justin aside, asking incredulously, "Boss, you really want to pay so much? Isn't that too generous? How about just giving them three days off to spend time with family, no need for overseas tours.""Three days? Are you kidding me? Let me tell you, as my employee you should have the easiest job, highest pay, longest vacation, and best life.""Now I finally understand why the company was always unsuccessful under you - you weren't generous to your subordinates, so how could they be loyal to you?""Enough, do as I said. You guys figure out the schedule."Cameron smiled obsequiously, rubbing his hands with a fawning grin that gave Justin the creeps. Someone who didn't know better might think he had some weird fetish."What are you doing? Don't look a
"But now that you're here, it can finally go to its rightful owner. My own office is just next door if you need me for anything.""Speaking of work, I do have something for you," said Justin, opening his laptop to the charts System had provided showing recent stock trends likely to surge soon. Though all green now, System's predictions were never wrong - a spike was sure to come."Keep an eye on these stocks for me. I expect some movement soon. It won't be as much as we just made, but every little bit counts. Set up the buys for me." "Ah, but Mr. Wilson, didn't you just promise to let me go abroad to see my daughter? Now you're working me again - exploiting my surplus value! I shall file a complaint.""Fuck. How does your brain even work? Can't you just get someone to handle it?""But you're the boss around here. Why don't you oversee it yourself?" Cameron shot back.Justin instantly silenced him with a withering retort. Fine, dealing with a boss who loved to kick back was a headache
