Shannon was flustered.


    From when Zephyr was arrested, to Salvador Corporation’s negative coverage on the news, to when


    the prosecutors took Shannon away, this series of events left the Salvadors with no time


    to react.


    “Why? Why are you arresting me? What evidence do you have?!” Shannon was so stunned that the


    nobleposure she had worked so hard to maintain suddenly fell apart.


    Even Bethany looked pale and petrified. She could only watch silently as her mother was taken


    away.


    “Greg! Help me! You must save me!” Shannon stretched her neck and shouted at Gregory, tears


    spilling on the green grass below.


    Gregory was so anxious that his face turned red. He wanted to stop them, but he also did not want to


    lose hisposure as a chairman in public. Thus, he could only disce his anger on Be. “Ms.


    Thompson! What is the meaning of this?”


    “Chairman Salvador, what are you yelling at me for? The people who took your wife away are from the


    prosecutor’s office.” Be smiled back innocently.


    “How did you know what would be broadcasted on the three o’clock news today? Why did you dare


    make insinuations from all the nonsense you spoke of earlier? Aren’t you the one who created all this?”


    “KS Group is arge conglomerate. We have eyes and ears everywhere. If the media knew about this


    matter, why wouldn’t mypany receive this news? Chairman Salvador, you are thinking too much.”


    Be’s eyes shed with contempt.


    Gregory became so angry that his eyelids twitched. “Ms. Thompson, just because your marriage to


    Justin ended in a divorce, you don’t have to take revenge on our family. No one is to me for this! You


    two just aren’t fated to be together!”


    Mayor Solloway and his wife looked dumbfounded.


    The Thompsons and the Salvadors actually had a marriage alliance? When did this happen? This


    seemed unbelievable.


    “Because you are still harboring resentment from the divorce, you took your anger out on Salvador


    Corporation and plotted against them. Don’t you think you are being petty and unscrupulous?”


    These words were really unpleasant to hear. Even Steven felt a stab in his chest.


    Just as Steven was about to defend Be, Justin took a step forward.


    Justin stood tall in front of Be and confronted his father with a cold re.


    “Chairman Salvador, I know you’re really angry right now, but you can’t just me all this on Ms.


    Thompson without any evidence.”


    “Justin! You are actually defending her?”


    Gregory’s anger rose. His eyes were bloodshot. “You are both divorced now. Not only is she


    irresponsible and shameful, she has now betrayed our family. Why are you protecting such a woman?”


    Justin frowned slightly. He then turned around to look at Be. There was depth in his gaze, but it was


    hard to read his emotion.


    Be’s eyes met his deep gaze. Then she turned away in disgust and curled her lips into a sneer.


    Sure enough, this refined and self-serving man always sided with his family.


    After all, Gregory’s blood was flowing through Justin’s body. He was no different from his father. They


    were both idiots who were deceived by women.


    “I believe she didn’t do this.” Justin looked at her as he said it.


    Be was stunned and slowly turned to look at him. At this moment, he turned back and said, Even if


    we are divorced, I will stand by her side as long as she is wrongly used.”


    Justin smiled and added sternly, “Even if we hadn’t gotten divorced, it wouldn’t be your ce to teach


    my wife a lesson.”


    Be rolled her eyes. She pursed her red lips and plugged her ears.


    What nonsense! No one should even be listening to this.


    Gregory was furious. His head buzzed, and his blood pressure rose.

    If there were no outsiders present, he would have definitely rushed up and pped his traitorous son in


    the face.


    Seeing Justin and Gregory quarreling like this, Be felt an inexplicable warmth within her, so she did


    not bother to continue arguing with Gregory.


    Anyway, she had achieved her goal. There was only one thing left.


    “I reckon you will both be very busy today, so I won’t bother you any longer and will take my leave.”


    Be and Steven turned around and walked toward the golf cart.


    “Ms. Thompson! Ms. Thompson! Please wait for a moment!”


    ((


    Mayor Solloway wiped his sweat and hurriedly caught up to her. “I think we should have an in- depth


    discussion about Baxim!”


    “I think we should have a chat too.”


    Be smiled slightly, but her attitude was obviously that of someone with the upper hand. “I will arrange


    to meet with you in the next two days. Please wait for the arrangements.”


    “I will most certainly wait for you. You’re wee anytime!” Mayor Solloway was so enthusiastic that


    he almost seemed like apletely different person.


    “Ms. Thompson, if you don’t mind, can I bring my son with me? It would be an honor if my son could


    meet someone like you.” Mrs. Solloway was all smiles as she tried to get to know Be.


    Who wouldn’t want to be acquainted with the daughter of the richest man in Hatchbay?


    Justin suddenly felt suffocated. His expression turned as dark as a total sr eclipse.


    He thought, ‘This woman should be hidden away somewhere and be well taken care of. As soon as


    she is out in public, she attracts too much unnecessary attention because of her beauty!’
