Be squinted her eyes and looked at Justin with curiosity.


    “This face… Why does she look so familiar?” Someone inquired.


    “Oh! I recall now, isn’t she the mistress of Headlines’ director, the man who was exposed as a cheater


    during a live broadcast?”


    “It’s surprising that she is still alive. If I were her, I would have dug myself a hole a long time ago. How


    can she still face the world?”


    “Well, I would rather die than live like this. But why is she here?”


    Xena’s hands trembled as she took a deep breath. “Everyone, I’vee this time to act as a witness to


    a crime, to repent, and to apologize for my actions. I would like to apologize to Ms. Thompson, the


    general manager of the KS World Hotel. My name is Xena Gordon, and I work as a journalist for


    Headlines. My stupidity and greed for money drove me to disregard professional ethics and morals. I


    bribed. Ms. Thompson’s employees to steal Ada Wang’s wedding setup designs and sell them to other


    media outlets for publicity. As a result, Ms. Thompson breached her contract, causing the termination of


    the coboration with Ada Wang.”


    Everyone was stunned. They had not anticipated theplexity of the story surrounding Be and Ada


    Wang’s contract termination. The twists and turns were astonishing!


    People looked sympathetically and understandingly at Be. Being known as Alexa had bestowed


    unprecedented grace on Be.


    Everyone thought that Be was as beautiful and pure as an angel. It seemed as though she would be


    better off residing in an ancient temple, shielded from the burdens and perils of the world.Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    “Ms. Gordon! Are you saying you were manipted by someone ?!”


    “Who bribed you?”


    “What caused you to have a car ident? Could it be that the person. directing you was afraid you


    would reveal their identity and thus wanted to keep you quiet?”


    Reporters swarmed in, quickly encircling Xena. Conspiracies began to emerge one after the other.


    Xena closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened her eyes again, she raised her hand


    and pointed straight at Bethany.


    “It was Ms. Salvador who ordered me to do it!”


    Bethany’s ears filled with a deafening buzz, feeling like everything had turned nk. She felt her vision


    blurring.


    Five nights ago, in a quiet hospital room, Xena leaned against the bed, tightly clutching the sheets. She


    lowered her gaze, looking subtly at the strikingly handsome man sitting in front of her with an


    overwhelming sense of oppression. Her hospital gown was soaked inyers of cold sweat.


    As he sat in the chair, Justin’s sharp features maintained an expressionless demeanor. Ian stood off to


    the side, giving Xena a cold stare.


    “Thank you for saving my life, Mr. Salvador,” Xena said cautiously, her voice trembling.


    “Do you know why I saved you?” Justin asked in a chilly tone as he toyed with a silver lighter in his


    palm. Xena was afraid to say anything.


    “Because you still have some value to me.” Justin snapped the lighter shut with a crisp sound, his long


    lashes downcast. “With a single word, I can either restore you to normalcy or render you a cripple for


    the rest of your life. I can even make you vanish into thin air.”


    “Mr. Salvador! Please tell me your orders.” Xena was terrified, her whole body turning weak. “As long


    as I can help you achieve it, I will do my best! I will give you my all!”


    Justin’s dark eyes narrowed as he held an unlit cigarette between his fingers.


    “Identify Bethany Salvador as the culprit and restore my wife’s innocence.”
