Upon hearing those words, the crowd erupted into a mor as they cast skeptical nces at Bethany.


    When he heard the statement, Justin’s eyes darkened slightly. His expression was calm, as if he


    expected it. After all, even he found the task of seeking an audience with Alexa to be like reaching for


    the stars. He never believed Bethany had the ability to acquire Alexa’s jewelry. There was definitely


    something fishy about it.


    Justin felt a surge of resentment and anger as he reflected on this. He turned around to give Be a


    hard stare.


    Be shrugged her shoulders and scowled at Justin. ‘What kind of expression is that? He looks like he


    wants to devour someone.’ She examined Justin as if he were a psychopath.


    The crowd’s suspicious gaze made Bethany paler than ever. She quickly hid behind Shannon to avoid


    their gaze.


    “Ms. Salvador, have you been lying to me since the beginning?”


    Ada Wang was enraged, her eyes aze. “Were you resorting to such despicable tactics just to win me


    over? Did you deceive me in order to secure my cooperation with your Salvador Hotel?” she demanded


    angrily of Bethany.


    Bethany stammered, unable to speak a single word. She was terrified and drenched in sweat.


    “I chose to trust you unconditionally because you are associated with the Salvador Corporation, and I


    held you in high regard as a well- mannered youngdy. With this incident, I am now skeptical of the


    Salvador family’s entire reputation! It contradicts the century-old reputation your family has built in


    Savrow!”


    Ada Wang was furious after being humiliated in front of her idol. She was determined to direct her rage


    at Bethany and the entire Salvador family.

    The onlookers shook their heads in disapproval. Unbelievable! A billion-dor family sent counterfeit


    goods to a celebrity and was caught in the act in front of the real Alexa! This, along with Rosalind’s


    cheating on Justin, could go down in the Salvador family’s history as a permanent stain.


    “As president of the Salvador Corporation, I am unaware of the gifts Ms. Salvador gave you privately or


    of the terms she discussed with you, Ms. Ada. After all, she was solely in charge of your wedding


    arrangements.” Justin’s tone was cold, as if he werepletely unconcerned. “Her actions are


    completely personal and have nothing to do with the Salvador Corporation.


    Shannon was enraged. Her jaw clenched so tightly that her teeth felt like they were going to break.


    Be, who was hidden in the shadow of Justin’s tall figure, raised an astonished eyebrow when she


    heard these words.


    “However,” Justin paused, his gaze on Be deepening. “Regarding the forgery and losses suffered by


    Ms. Thompson, also known as Alexa, I, on behalf of the Salvador Corporation, am willing to ept


    responsibility.”


    “Are you taking responsibility for her?”


    Everyone exchanged puzzled nces. Even though they felt there was nothing wrong with this


    statement, they detected a subtle nuance.


    As she turned away from Justin, Be’s eyes became clouded with disapproval. She had assumed that


    he had matured. She thought he could overlook Bethany’s predicament. However, it became clear that


    he still needed to sort out the mess for Shannon and Bethany, putting his overall situation first.


    Justin had expressed a desire for Be to win, but it appeared to be nothing more than empty words.


    “Hold on! Why are we being portrayed as if we havemitted some heinous crime? We are also


    victims!”


    Shannon stepped forward quickly to defend her daughter. Her face was flushed with anxiety. “My


    daughter had good intentions. Knowing how much Ms. Ada admires Alexa’s jewelry, she went out of


    her way to find a valuable piece for you, hoping that it would foster cooperation between our two


    parties! Our family is wealthy. We can easily afford ten pieces of Alexa’s jewelry, let alone just one.


    Why would we bother with a forgery that would tarnish the Salvador family’s reputation just to please


    you? We would not have bought it if we had known it was fake. We even wanted to seek justice from


    the person who sold us the jewelry.”


    A wave of murmurs rippled through the crowd.


    “This woman purchased a forgery and dared to im she wanted to buy ten pieces of Alexa’s work.


    Truly shameless.”


    “That’s Mrs. Salvador for you.”


    Finally, unable to bear her nonsense, Sliva stepped forward and retorted coldly. “It is well known that


    each piece of jewelry Alexa creates is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece that is rarely avable on the


    market.”
