Shannon stirred the pot, making a viin out of Be. “Be withheld the fact that she was Wyatt’s


    daughter right from the start. She hung around you to gain your trust so she could marry Justin. Just


    think about it. That was what she had been nning all along. We were lucky that Justin did not fall for


    her and divorced her before any damage was done. If Be had Justin’s love and your trust, she would


    have prated Salvador Corporation and taken control of thepany.”


    “Enough. Anna isn’t that type of girl.”


    Nigel waved his arm frustratedly. “Besides, I know Wyatt. He may be a flirt, but he’s a gentleman with


    principles. I refuse to believe that he would raise a daughter of poor character.”


    “Dad!”


    “Grandpa!”


    “And another thing. The Thompsons possess resources and wealth, if not more,parable to ours.


    Ms. Thompson would not be throwing away her marriage to marry Justin for somepany shares.


    Hmph! I would expect that tasteless behavior from Rosalind, but Ms. Thompson has it all. She couldn’t


    possibly and wouldn’t stoop so low to engage in such activities.” Nigel was biased toward Be to begin


    with. Faced with Shannon’s exaggeration, Nigel felt obliged to stand up for Be.


    Grimacing in fury, Shannon was tempted to knock over the old bastard’s wheelchair with a kick.


    “Either way, Ms. Thompson is hostile toward Salvador Corporation.”


    Gregory knew that his daughter was the aggressor, but he would not admit his failed parenting to Nigel.


    Instead, he stated in defiance,” Even if we have an internal dispute, Be is in no ce to tell us what


    to do. She has leveraged her family’s influence to restrict us on several asions. She got Shannon in


    trouble thest time, and most recently, she tried to put Bethany behind bars over something trivial.


    She’s clearly waging war against us. Ms. Thompson has changed since returning to her family. She will


    undoubtedly choose her family’s gain over her rtionship with you.”


    Nigel heaved heavily while clutching the arms of his wheelchair.


    “Matt, get Anna to see me. I need to hear it from her.”


    Meanwhile, Justin pulled up on the driveway of Tideview Manor. Ian opened the door for him.


    As the man stepped out of the vehicle indifferently, a ck Maserati parked next to him.


    Hunter, looking sharp in his suit, emerged out of the car.


    “What a coincidence, Mr. Salvador.”


    “Ha. Chairman Salvador must have gotten himself into some shady mess for you toe at this hour,


    Mr. Lovett. Are you cleaning up after him?” Justin scoffed and sneered.


    Hunter responded calmly with a smile, “Chairman Salvador hired me to be Ms. Bethany’s defense


    attorney. I have a responsibility to see my job through to the end. I pride myself on integrity as a


    professionalwyer. I guess you’re not well-versed in the legal field, Mr. Salvador. It’s okay. We are in


    different professions after all.”


    Narrowing his eyes and pursing his lips, Justin approached Hunter aggressively.


    Hunter stepped back with a frown.

    He lost the moment he backed away. In the face of the man’s intimidation, Hunter surrendered in the


    battle of wills.


    “The legal field is shrouded in shades of gray. Sure, we have manywyers dedicating themselves to


    fighting for the poor and underprivileged, but we also have others like you who serve the interests of


    corporations. You’ll just stop at nothing to get what you want.”


    Hunter’s smile froze.


    “I have no right to interfere with your personal goal, but here’s a warning to you.”


    Justin’s piercing gaze filled Hunter with dread. “You are free to be ruthless and dishonest, but Be


    Thompson is off-limits. She’s important to me, so if you do anything to her, I might just return the favor


    in kind.”
