Gregory’s gaze fell upon Shannon. It was devoid of any warmth or


    emotion.


    Be suddenly changed the subject. “Madam Shannon, did you


    secretly instruct Mr. Harry to take advantage of the birthday party and attack Aunt Celeste, which led to


    the previous incident?”


    “It wasn’t me! Harry acted on his own. I had nothing to do with it!”


    Shannon desperately clung onto Gregory’s suit, tears blurring her


    vision as she defended herself.


    “Greg, I have no reason to harm Celeste,” Shannon insisted. “I am the


    matriarch of the Salvador family. What move would I have against


    someone like her, who is merely Wyatt’s mistress?!”


    (


    “Shannon! That’s enough.” Gregory’s tone was stern as he interrupted.


    “Madam Shannon, you can direct your anger at me, but I won’t tolerate you insulting my family.”


    Be’s eyes shed with anger as she confronted Shannon.


    She raised her finger and pointed directly at Shannon’s tearful yet sinister face. “If you dare to insult


    Aunt Celeste again, I’ll p you


    too!”


    A tense silence fell over the room as everyone exchanged uneasy nces.


    Logan, who was observing from the sidelines, shook his head

    disapprovingly. “Ms. Thompson’s behavior hardly resembles that of a youngdy. She’s too unruly and


    willful.”


    Ryan shrugged nonchntly. “It’s because she’s been spoiled by everyone. Her father, siblings, and


    even Justin spoil her! It’s no

    surprise she behaves so recklessly. You should know that Justin has


    never spoiled a woman in his life. Ms. Thompson is the only


    exception. No other woman enters his eyes.”


    Zoe intuitively caught the underlying message in the words, feeling a


    p to her pride.


    Justin’s gaze shifted to Be. He found her fierce and aggressive


    appearance irresistible, causing his heart to race uncontrobly.


    Shannon froze in fear, fully aware of Be’s reputation for following through on her threats.


    “Be… All of this is merely your spection! You’re ndering me without any evidence!” Shannon


    protested, convinced that Be had


    no concrete evidence to support her usations.


    Be smirked, leaving Shannon speechless and embarrassed.


    “Could your defensiveness be a sign of guilt?” Be’s smirk lingere as she reimed the ne, her


    tone teasing.


    “As for the specifics of your rtionship,” Be continued, “I think I should ask Mr. Young again. We’ll


    have answers soon enough. Try to be patient.”


    Shannon’s nerves coiled at the thought of Harry being in the hands of the cops.


    “Well, I’ll leave you to your business” Be said, heading for the door


    with everyone watching her.


    Justin clenched his fists, his intense gaze following her every move. Despite the urge to follow, he


    suppressed the restless feeling in his


    heart, resisting the impulse.


    Just as Be was about to leave, ire stopped her.


    “Ms. Thompson, next time you should handle your family matters at


    the right time and ce. At least give Chairman Salvador and Mr.


    Salvador a heads-up, so nobody feels awkward.”


    “Awkward? I didn’t feel that.” Be shrugged, smiling casually. “Next


    time, toughen up a little, then you won’t feel awkward so easily.”
