Shannon knew the assant?


    The room was silent. Everyone, including Gregory and the Hoffmans, stared at Shannon in disbelief,


    stunned by the news.


    However, there was one person who remained asposed as Be, and that was Justin. From the


    moment Be began to suspect


    Shannon, Justin also harbored doubts about thetter.


    He had nned to investigate at the time, but he suffered a severe head injury and underwent life-


    threatening brain surgery. After that, the scandal between him and Zoe also caused chaos and


    interrupted


    his ns.


    Earlier, Justin had intervened when Be wanted to confront Shannon


    alone. He pulled her upstairs, wanting to stop her from stirring


    trouble. If Shannon dared to attack Madam Celeste in public, she was


    certainly capable of hurting Be too!


    He didn’t want to get Be’s hands dirty. He wanted to help her seek justice, even if it meant that he


    had to do the dirty work.


    Justin had to admit that he was angry and frustrated at Be’sck of trust in him. But despite all that,


    he couldn’t deny that he loved her with all his heart. He was willing to go to the extremes for this love.


    He no longer cared for the consequences and only craved for her to be the center of his universe.

    Gregory asked anxiously, “Shannon, is Ms. Thompson saying the truth? Do you know the assant?”


    “Greg, are you seriously doubting me too? Ms. Thompson shows up out of nowhere and interrogates


    me. Are you going to join her to Shannon widened her eyes and clutched her chest. Her eyes were


    filled with sorrow and grievance.


    Her reaction seemed overly dramatic, as if straight out of a soap


    opera.


    Meanwhile, Bethany, who had just sobered up after a night of drinking in her room, stumbled out of the


    room. She had overheard every word her father had asked Shannon, and she was shocked.


    ‘What’s happening? With a few questions from Be, why is Dad suddenly suspicious of Mom?”


    In her memory, Gregory had always been protective of Shannon. Even when Shannon argued with


    Nigel, Gregory had always stood by her side, ready to defend her at all times.


    “Don’t overthink it. I didn’t mean to doubt you,” Gregory said, frowning


    and clenching his fist tightly.


    “Of course not! How could I possibly know someone like that?” Shannon’s temples glistened with


    sweat. She looked at Be with resentment. “Be, I know you hold a grudge against me, and we’ve


    had our disagreements before. But I’ve moved on! Now that your family is in trouble, you’reing


    after me? I’m not some scapegoat for your family’s problems. Why should youe to me for


    answers?


    Do you think I’m an easy target?”


    Be smiled casually and said, “Mrs. Salvador, are you feeling guilty? I


    only asked if you knew him, nothing more. Why are you getting so


    defensive? Do you have something to hide?”


    Chipy


    “Be!” Shannon’s eyes were almost popping out of anger. “I am showing you respect for the sake of


    Chairman Thompson, but d push it!”


    “What the hell?” Ryan’s eyes turned red with anger. If it weren’t for the elders present, he would have


    rushed up and pped Shannon


    himself.


    “Shannon, if you truly consider yourself the matriarch of the Salvador family, you should watch the tone


    of your voice.” Justin chided, his


    fist clenched.


    Shannon thought, ‘This imbecile is just simping for Be!’
