Be’s mind was all over the ce as she drove back to her vi in


    Savrow.


    Originally, she went over to confront Shannon, but on the entire drive back, her mind was filled with the


    memories of Justin pressing her


    against the wall.


    When his eyes were staring at her, she saw her own sad reflection in

    them.


    There was a look of anger and helplessness in his eyes that she


    could not shake off.


    As she recalled his emotional gaze, her fingers tightened around the steering wheel. Her fingers were


    pale from how hard she was gripping the steering wheel as she pondered.


    ‘But what does this mean? Even if his gaze was more provoking, it


    doesn’t change the fact that he couldn’t change his womanizing ways and was secretly involved with


    Zoe.


    Be got out of her car with a gloomy expression. She looked up to see Asher, Ralph, and Steven


    waiting for her at the entrance.


    “Be!”


    “Ash! Ralph! Steve! What are you all doing here? Be asked in


    surprise, gathering herself.


    “I heard from Ralph that you went to Tideview Manor alone. You didn’t


    even bring Steve along with you. What was going through your mind,


    little girl? Why did you go there alone?” Asher sighed with concern,ing forward to put his arm


    around her shoulders.


    “But when I heard that Justin was there too, I was sort of relieved. With him there, at least you won’t be


    at a disadvantage.”


    “Why wouldn’t I be at a disadvantage because he’s there?” Bellow frowned and pursed her red lips


    unhappily.


    “Because he’s head over heels for you, so he’ll definitely protect you.”


    “Hahaha. Ash, this joke isn’t funny at all.”


    Be’s heart skipped a beat, and her tone became more critical. “I was married to him for three years.


    During those three years, I


    suffered and was bullied by the Salvadors, yet he never spoke up for me. Now, we’re not even friends,


    so why would he stand up for me?”


    “Exactly, Ash.” Ralph walked over with his hands in his pockets, sneering. “Justin is a heartless and


    unscrupulous person. Even though he didn’t like Be, he married her and made her his wife. He is


    responsible for protecting her. But look at what he’s done! As the saying goes, a leopard can’t change


    its spots. Just look at how long he has been pursuing Be before he started messing around with


    other women!”


    “Mr. Ralph, what are you talking about?” Steven was puzzled,


    oblivious to what was happening.


    “I’m talking about Ryan’s annoying sister, Zoe! They were recently caught fucking in a hotel room


    together!” Ralph’s words were sharp, maybe even sharper than Axel’s or Drew’s.


    “Well, Ralph, you definitely have a way with words. Keep going!” Be


    nodded repeatedly, expressing her agreement.


    Asher and Steven were speechless at his crass words and could only lightly cough.


    Suddenly, Asher’s gaze fixed on a spot not far behind Be.


    “Mr. Iverson?”


    Be blinked in confusion, then turned around in surprise.


    In the dim night, Christopher’s sports car was parked not far away.


    The engine was off, and the lights were extinguished.


    It was quiet, as if it didn’t exist.


    Christopher hadn’t gotten out of the car but remained seated in the


    driver’s seat. He leaned forward, with his arms crossed on the steering wheel, as he stared deeply at


    her without blinking.


    Be lightly bit her red lips, locking eyes with him.
