Axel was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He wanted to say more, but Be red at him, so he shut
his mouth.
“What?! I’m going to beat that bastard on your behalf!”
Steven was angry and wanted to settle the score with Justin, but Be stopped him. “Forget it. You
can’t beat him. He used to be in the peacekeeping army, so you’ll just be his punching bag.
Besides, he didn’t mean to dislocate my shoulder. He’s just careless and doesn’t know how to control
his strength. He’s always been like this.”
“Ms. Be, why does it sound like you have known him for a long time?”
Be was stunned for a moment. She pursed her red lips and said nothing.
Steven still did not know about her rtionship with Justin. She did not mean to hide it on purpose, but
she was just toozy to exin herself.
It was in the past anyway, and she did not n to get back together with Justin.
Back at the vi, Axel made coffee for Be while scolding Justin for being a jinx.
“I’m sorry, Axel.” Be’s long eyshes trembled guiltily.
“Huh? Why are you apologizing to me?”
Axel was surprised and raised his hand to touch his sister’s forehead. “Do you have a fever? What
nonsense are you spouting now?”
“No, I just felt sorry for using you to keep my secret. Since Asher is on a business trip in Inalia, I can
only ask you for help. I’m afraid that you think I’m treating you as a prop…” Be’s voice became softer
as she spoke.
“Silly girl, what are you talking about?”
Axel felt distressed and came over to hug Be. He avoided her injured arm and pulled her slender
body to his chest.
“Mom gave birth to the four of us before you so that we could protect you. The next time you get
married, the four of us will also apany you!”
After saying this, Axel felt that it was not right to assume this and quickly added, “Even if you never get
married, we will still be at your beck and call. We’ll protect you and be your backers for the rest of your
life!”

Be’s lips twitched as she thought, ‘Apany me when I get married? Then I might as well be a
nun…’
Justin’s mood was affected because he had injured Be. He could not concentrate on his meetings all
afternoon and did not listen to the reports by the senior executives.
His lips were bruised, and his face was gloomy. However, no one dared to ask him what happened.
They did not even dare to breathe loudly.
Although Justin was Gregory’s illegitimate son, everyone in the Salvador Corporation respected him.
Gregory’s eldest son from his first wife was frail and had been recuperating in Regarton. His illness had
worsened in recent years, and he had to rely on someone to push him around in a wheelchair.
Gregory’s second wife, Shannon, gave birth to two daughters. Her eldest daughter was 25 years old,
and her second daughter was 20 years old. None of her daughters were capable enough to be the
heirs of the Salvador Corporation.
Therefore, Justin was the only sessor to the Salvador Corporation. He was outstanding and
commanding, so those who initially opposed his session dared not go against it anymore.
“Mr. Salvador, the Walter Group Hotel we have an eye on in the western suburbs has been acquired.”
The senior management reported the situation cautiously.
“By whom?” Justin immediately returned to his senses and focused on the matter at hand.
“KS Group. Walter Group transferred that hotel to them. In the future, it will be the second branch of KS
World Hotel in Savrow.”
Justin’s body stiffened, and his eyes darkened.
“Why didn’t you tell me sooner?”
“We have been negotiating the acquisition and almost got a deal, but Ms. Thompson from KS World
Hotel came out of nowhere and intercepted our project. It was truly unexpected.” The senior
management’s face turned pale with fright.
“Almost got a deal? I think it’s almost time for you to retire.”
There was no emotion in Justin’s eyes. His deep voice was oppressive as he said, “What did I tell you
before? That hotel is in a strategic location. It’s only a 600-meter walk from Universal Studios, which
will be built in two years. I wanted you to acquire it as soon as possible, even if we had to pay double.
But you were so hesitant and timid. That’s why the project was intercepted! Now, KS Group has
benefited from this. How will you or your team bear this responsibility?”
The senior manager lowered his head and wiped his sweat. His legs trembled under the table.
“You’ll be transferred to Fenn’s branch next week. If you repeat this mistake, I won’t care that you’ve
worked here for a decade.”
After Justin finished speaking, he strode out the door, leaving everyone with stunned expressions on
their faces. They felt as if they were walking on thin ice.
Justin was angrier than usual today.
“Could it be… Revenge?”

On the way back to Tideview Manor, Ian nced at the rearview mirror worriedly while driving. After
Ms. Gold attacked Young Madam, Mr. Thompson stopped all our project cooperation and exposed the
Gold family’s product issues. Could this all be Mr. Thompson’s intentions? Although the Gold family
deserves to be in this situation…”
Justin suddenly raised his eyes and looked sharply at the rearview mirror. Ian was so flustered that he
almost choked.
“Stop at the tailor shop in front.”
