Chapter 799:
“You’re being unreasonable. She initiated this dispute in the first place. She cast doubts on Yelena and deliberately made those comments. Without her provocation, would we have questioned Yelena’s ability so hastily p>
Jarvis frowned and retorted, “Regardless of her actions, your behavior is still unjustified p>

Jarvis met her gaze, his emotions churning. There was so much he wanted to say, but no words came.
“Bella, I p>

Jarvis’ embrace carried an unexpectedly intimate tone for Bella, unsettling her and causing her to lose her composure.

Meanwhile, Callum and Donna strolled leisurely along the island’s shoreline. Despite the island still being under development, Callum relished the rare opportunity to spend private time with Donna. They walked hand in hand, enjoying the gentle sea breeze and the stunning coastal view.
This part of the island, largely untouched by human habitation, boasted crystal-clear waters with remarkable visibility, exposing vibrant reefs in the distance.
Pointing toward the water, Callum said, “This is the perfect spot for diving. The seabed is teeming with red coral and colorful fish—it’s truly stunning p>
Donna recognized the longing in Callum’s voice.
Callum had a history of enjoying outdoor activities like cycling, horseback riding, motorcycling, diving, sailing, and surfing.
However, after his father’s accident forced him to take over the family business, these activities had become rare indulgences.
Now, with Cayson’s help managing the business, Callum finally had more leisure time.
