Steven started to break into a cold sweat after hearing this. “Mr. Drew, I can’t stop worrying about Ms.
Be. I kept dreaming about what happened that night, even when I was unconscious. Can I see Ms.
Be?”
“Be is fine. We’ve stitched up the wound on her arm, and she
doesn’t have any other injuries. She’s traumatized and needs time to recover. She wants some
personal space.” Drew sighed.

Thinking about the knife wound on Be’s arm, Justin felt a wave of bitterness in his heart.
They had been divorced for a year, but Be kept getting hurt. It seemed like she could not live a
peaceful life.
Justin med himself for being so useless.
So what if he could risk his life for her over and over again? He wa still a useless fool who could not
prevent her from getting in harm
way.
“I’ve heard about Linny.”
When Steven thought about that brave girl who took the bullet for Be, he felt an excruciating pain in
his heart. “Is there any progress about the whereabouts of that murderer?”
“It shouldn’t be too long. I’m closely monitoring every move of Shannon and Bethany now. Shannon
went out tonight, possibly going to meet Winston. I think my men will bring back some news soon.”
A sharp light shed across Justin’s eyes. “Rest assured. No one wants to kill that bastard more than
me. I’ve investigated his background, and Linny is not the only person he killed. He’s a vicious criminal.
The only reason he could stay around Shannon for so many years without getting into trouble was that
Shannon made a new identity for him and covered up his bloody past.”
“Your stepmother is really something. It’s a waste of talent for her to only be a stepmother to you.”
Drew mockingly said, “How is the Salvador Corporation
conglomerate? It’s more like a bandit’s den.”
Steven shook his head. “I think it’s more like the deepest pits of hell…”
Justin was speechless.
“If I had the chance to meet Mrs. Salvador, I should really thank her,” Drew said sarcastically.
Justin frowned. “Thank her?”
“Be was married to you for three years and stayed at your hou with that witch. I have to thank her for
not killing Be.”
Justin was at a loss for words again
Drew had a sharp and vicious tongue. Back when they were in the military academy, Drew was a man
with few words, never speaking unless necessary. Was that just an act?
At this moment, the door opened, startling the three men.
Be had changed out of her loose patient robes. She wore a ck
suit, her bare face still stunningly beautiful.
She stood there without speaking, her expression solemn, as if silently mourning for Linny.
“Be?!”
“Ms. Be!”
Justin’s heartbeat sped up, and the tip of his ears turned red as he stared at Be foolishly.
His lips parted. He almost called out Be’s name but did not gather
enough courage.
Back then, the situation was chaotic and he had a reason to
approach her. But now, what excuse did he have?
“Steve, are you alright?” Be’s dimmed gazended on Steven’s shoulder, and her voice choked.
“I’m fine, Ms. Be.”
Steven wanted to raise his arm to show that he was all good, but could not do that. He smiled
embarrassedly. “Don’t worry. It wo take long for me to be back to normal. I could return to work for you
“When your arm heals, don’t stay by my side as my secretary anymore.”
