Everyone could tell those words were full of sarcasm!


    Was this not a question about Hunter’s character?


    Justin could not help but smile slightly, while Gregory and Shannon’s expressions turned ugly.


    “Old Master Nigel!”


    Right then, Nigel’s secretary, Matt Upton, hurried in and said respectfully, “Ms. Thompson has arrived.”


    Justin’s heart thumped, and his eyes widened.


    Everyone looked toward the door in unison withplicated gazes,


    Click, click, click.


    The sharp and crisp sound of high heels cking on the floor seemed to strike straight into Justin’s


    heart.


    Be entered this ce where she had once resided for three yea but the dignified and cold aura that


    she exuded at the moment w as if this was her first time here.


    In that instant, Justin went into a daze.


    It felt as if they had not divorced.


    “Grandpa Nigel, I’m here!”


    Be smiled brightly and walked over to Nigel without looking elsewhere.


    When she passed Justin, she did not linger even a little, as if they wereplete strangers to each


    other.


    Justin took a deep breath, his fingers slowly clenching into fists out of sight. His heart was pounding


    hard even as it sank.


    Every time he met his ex-wife after the divorce, it felt like he was undergoing excruciating torture and


    great upheaval.


    “Be Thompson…!”


    Bethany red at Be’s beautiful face. If Shannon had not been holding her back, Bethany would


    have pounced on Be and torn her to pieces by now.


    “Oh, Hunt! What a coincidence!”


    When Be passed Hunter, she suddenly stopped and looked at him/ with a smile.


    Hunter was taken aback.


    The rest were very stunned too.


    Hunt? It was such a close address that everyone wondered if Be and Hunter had an intimate


    rtionship.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    “Ms. Thompson, it’s been a while since we met.” Hunter forced a smile, responding with a more distant


    form of address.


    “Indeed. It’s been five or six years since youst visited my dad, hasn’t it? He even mentioned you


    some time ago. Our families have known each other for a very long time. I remember when I was


    young, Uncle Neil often brought you and Steve over to our house to visit. It’s a shame the two of us


    haven’t really kept in contact in recent years and have lost touch now.”


    Be looked at Gregory Salvador’s shocked face with a smile. ” Chairman Salvador, you didn’t know,


    did you? Uncle Neil and his three sons have always been my family friends. Uncle Neil was even the


    head of KS Group’s legal department for a while after he retired. It’s just that Uncle Neil keeps a low


    profile, so not many people know about this.”


    Hunter forced himself to keep smiling, but his face was burning.


    Be’s words seemed nonchnt, but every word made a rope that wrapped around his throat!’


    Thest thing he was willing to mention to the public was the fact that his family had once enjoyed the


    Thompsons’ favor. He did not even want to admit to himself that he would not have been able to


    achieve what he had today without the Thompsons’ support.


    Hunter wanted to be stronger, expand his influence, and increase his family’s status. To do that,


    he had to get out of the Thompsons’ shadow.


    “Mr. Lovett, I didn’t expect you to be so close to the Thompsons,” Gregory said meaningfully.


    “My father was indeed KS Group’s legal advisor for a time, but he stepped down a long time ago. I


    haven’t had any contact with the Thompsons for many years,” Hunter hurriedly said, his words explicitly


    and implicitly distancing himself from the Thompsons.


    “Hunt-no, Mr. Lovett.”


    Be narrowed her eyes slightly, her smile gradually growing cold and mocking. “I think you still


    remember how much hardship your family went through when Uncle Neil retired as a judge. If it weren’t


    for my father’s help, it would probably have been very difficult for you to ovee it. My father was


    kind to your father back then, and your family benefited a lot from mine. We have never wanted


    repayment for it. But you still shouldn’t work with outsiders to try and trip me up.”


    Ms. Be’s red lips curled in a cold but beautiful sneer. “Is it part of yourwyer’s code of ethics to be


    ungrateful and to burn the bridge once you’ve crossed it?”
