Justin went to his study and waited forn.

    The maid’s words yed back in Justin’s mind as he stood in front of the window, smoking away with


    unreadable eyes. Even so, his heart pounded out of his chest.


    Justin suspected that the maid had been in contact with Be.


    Why, though?


    He wondered what Be was thinking. He could never stop worrying about the woman.


    Following a knock on the door, Justin snapped out of his thoughts and took a long drag. His callous


    fingers flicked away the ash.


    The door opened, andn stepped into the room. He shut the door and approached Justin from behind,


    presenting him with a note.


    “Mr. Salvador, Linny gave me an address. She will meet Ms.


    Thompson there tonight.”


    Ovee with emotions, Justin could barely get a good grip on his


    cigarette.


    He took the note and nced over it memorizing the address by


    heart.


    “Did Linny say anything else to you?”


    Thompson.”


    “She is, without a question,” Justin said hoarsely, and he clutched the


    note.


    Be was a wild card. She was always step ahead of him,


    Опе


    keeping him on his toes.


    “Um… What is Ms. Thompson trying to do?”


    you. She has eyes in the Salvadors’ residence to keep an eye on your every move. She must still care


    about you, Mr. Salvador. That’s good


    news!”


    Justin looked at him glumly while releasing a puff in resignation.


    He was not vain enough to think that Be still had feelings for him.


    Be was too busy and ambitious to waste time on idle pursuits.


    There was only one possibility.


    Be had some concerns with the Salvadors that needed addressing.


    For all he knew, Be could be trying to get back at Shannon after


    what she did to Celeste.


    In that case, Be would carry out the revenge covertly. Yet Linny


    sought him out in private and disclosed her meeting with Be to him.


    Justin wondered if there was an invitation to help Be out.


    As tears welled up in his eyes, Justin felt alive again. All he ever


    wanted was to protect her.


    I


    “Should I go with you tonight, Mr. Salvador?”n asked worriedly.


    Justin exhaled and shook his head. “No. Linny only asked me. They must not want anyone else to


    know about the secret.”


    Still,n could not shake off the concern. “But Mr. Salvador, does the young madam know that you’re


    going too? If Linny made the decision herself, the young madam could get angry to see you there.”


    “I’ll follow her discreetly and watch her from afar.”


    Justin’s stern gaze was softened with love at the thought of Be. She always gets herself in trouble. I


    cannot stop worrying about her.”


    At 9:00 p.m., Bethany dolled up and went out.


    Not long after she was gone, Linny, dressed in a ck tracksuit and


    cap, exited Tideview Manor from the back door.


    When she took off in a cab, a ck sedan drove out of the darkness.


    “Should we follow her, Ms. Bethany?”


    The driver was Shannon’s trusted aide, Winston. He had gone out of his way to help Shannon and


    Bethany over the years, and tonight, he


    was at Bethany’s disposal.


    “Nah. We can’t let the double-crossing traitor make it back alive


    tonight. We don’t want to be captured near her by following too


    closely behind.” Bethany had learned a lot from Shannon.


    “Alright. I’ll wait for Mrs. Salvador’s instructions for the right time to make a move,” Winston said


    emotionlessly, like a robot.


    “When do you n to strike?”
