Chapter 344


    Justin turned slowly, only to find Be standing a few steps behind him. Her gaze was cold and


    piercing.


    “Be, why did youe over?” Ralph no longer paid attention to Justin and swiftly approached his


    sister. “I told you that I’d handle this. You should just go home and rest.’


    “No, I must handle this matter in person.”


    As Be spoke, she looked at Justin. The coldness and unfamiliarity in her eyes cut deep into his heart.


    After the divorce, she treated him with a cold demeanor. He had resented it before, but now he was


    afraid. Deep down, he dreaded the thought of Be treating him as aplete stranger.


    He would prefer to be hated, cursed, or even physically assaulted by her. The chill of her indifference


    was something he could not bear.


    “Be…” Justin hesitated, trying to call out to her.


    “Justin, let’s talk outside.”


    Be shot him an icy re before turning away and walking ahead. Justin’s gaze trailed her graceful


    figure. He was eager to catch up to her, but Ralph pulled him back.


    “Hey! You clueless idiot, you’d better behave yourself. This is a police station. If you dare do anything


    to my sister, I’ll put you in handcuffs!”


    Justin responded, “As Be’s brother, you should be aware of my history with her.”


    Taking a deep breath, Justin quelled the turmoil within and replied coldly, “When she was my wife, we


    treated each other with respect. You have no reason to be concerned now.’


    Ralph sneered, a chillyugh escaping his throat. “Well, that’s not necessarily true. From my


    experience dealing with criminal cases, a man who hires someone to stalk his ex-wife is either mentally


    unsound or a murderer. None of those husbands were ever deemed normal.”


    Justin was speechless.


    Be and Justin found themselves in a secluded area behind the police station, a spot ideal for a


    private conversation. Given their prominent positions in society, discretion was crucial in this sensitive


    setting. The two of them faced each other, silhouetted by the dim light.


    “Justin…”


    Justin asked, “Have you been drinking?”


    Without waiting for Be to finish, Justin stepped closer. His broad frame cast a shadow over her,


    blocking the remaining light. Be, secretly surprised, watched as he tilted his head and gently sniffed


    her hair.


    In a deep voice, he remarked, “This liquor has a high alcohol content. Do you think you have a good


    alcohol tolerance? Remember how drunk you were at the karaoke barst time? During the three years


    of our marriage, you never touched a drop of alcohol.”


    Be responded with a cold tone, “I’ve always had a high tolerance for alcohol, and I’ve always enjoyed


    drinking. You just never knew.” Be’s gaze was cold. She took a step back with her back against the


    wall.


    “That’s because you never showed me your true self. You have never been honest with me.” Justin


    approached her. His heart was filled with bitter emotions.


    Be scoffed. “Justin, you’re pretty good at dodging responsibility.”


    She tilted her head. Her seductive red lips captivated him, making his throat tighten involuntarily. He


    struggled to keep his emotions in check.


    Be continued, “Remember the kind of person you used to be, the husband you were? Even when I


    opened up to you in the past, you never bothered to care. And let’s not forget how you found me


    annoying back then. Why would I want to show you the real me and risk even more turned off by me?”


    Be spoke these words with indifference.


    Every word she said had the power to stir up tumultuous waves in Justin’s heart.

    As it turned out, she hid her true self back then to please him. you being


    After all, which woman did not wish to present her best self in front of the man she loved? Just like how


    Rosalind once acted all innocent around him, feigning ignorance of the world. Rosalind even resorted


    to despicable tactics like pretending to have depression, all just to win his heart.


    Justin finally realized that, at that time, Be had really gone all out to please him.


    Rosalind’s fake love and carefully calcted moves were all about controlling him and getting what she


    wanted. On the other hand, the old Be had only pretended to be someone else to avoid being


    disliked by him.


    Justin felt like his heart was crushed.


    His eyes turned red. Just as he was about to speak, Be said coldly, “Justin, I get why you had Ian


    spy on me. Ada Wang’s wedding ising up, and I’m your biggestpetition. I get that you want


    Ian to keep an eye on your business rival. But hasn’t Salvador Corporation done pretty well so far?


    Didn’t Ada Wang choose to attend your weing banquet? Why would you still want Ian to follow me


    and even secretly take pictures of Ralph? Don’t you think that it’s a bit too much?”
