“But it’s soft on the inside and tastes sweet.”


    Asher smiled as he tapped Be’s nose with a finger. “It’s quite simr to our baby sister.”


    “Hmph!” Be turned away in feigned anger, looking yfully cute.


    “Be, you can’t fall for Jerkface Justin’s tricks again, no matter what! All men are trash!” Den was


    deeply afraid his baby sister would fall for that bastard again, so he advised her earnestly.


    “Except me, Mr. Den.” Steven stood up for himself weakly.


    “And me.” Asher immediately dered.


    “Yeah, yeah, yeah… Us Thompsons definitely aren’t that bad.” Den hurriedly backtracked.


    “Hmm. I don’t think that applies to all of us. There’s always that one old fellow who drags us down.”


    Be crossed her long and fair legs as she joked.


    The three men looked at each other as a name floated to the forefront of their minds in unison-Wyatt


    Thompson!


    “I don’t want to!”


    When M heard that Be wanted her to help Justin out, she was so angry that she saw red.


    M, who was usually very agreeable to Be’s wishes, firmly rejected her request to treat Justin.


    “Aunt M, hear me out…” Be said helplessly.


    “There’s nothing to be said.”


    M waved a hand and said coldly, “I remember every detail of how Justin Salvador treated you in the


    past. And it’s not just me, either. Celeste and Sasha definitely remember it too. Isn’t that bastard the oh


    -so-powerful president of Salvador Corporation? Let them think of something on their own!”.


    “Aunt M…”


    “Oh, right. Doesn’t he have lots of girls fluttering around him? Shouldn’t they be here, crying and


    sobbing, to beg us to help their beloved Justin? What are they waiting for?” Aunt M scoffed, wishing


    she could rip Justin to shreds.


    “Aunt M, Justin is a vile man, but this time, he saved me.” Be took M’s hand and sat on the sofa.


    Her chiding words made Be seem more like an elder than M was.


    M frowned. “What do you mean?”


    Be told M the whole story of how she ran into danger on Mount Jaglee to save someone and how


    she was saved by Justin, who got hurt in the course of saving her.


    M was so scared upon hearing the tale that her hands turned cold in Be’s grip.


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    “Be! Oh, you! If I’d given birth to you, I’d be grounding you and giving you a good spanking! You’re


    much too bold!”


    “Only Asher, Den, and Steve know about this. Wyatt doesn’t know.”


    Be put a finger to her lips and lowered her voice. “You have to keep this a secret for me. I’m scared


    his blood pressure will go up if he. finds out.”


    “I really don’t feel like keeping any more secrets for you. In the past thirteen years of your involvement


    with Justin Salvador, we’ve helped you keep so many things a secret we could fill out a whole folder!”


    M lightly poked Be’s forehead in frustration. “I should tell your dad about this so that he can keep


    you in check!”


    “It’s no use, even if you tell him. If Wyatt could keep me in check, he would have done so long ago!”


    Be giggled with a smug little grin.


    After another round of earnest persuasion, M was so fed up with Be’s pestering that she finally


    agreed.
