Justin grinned, pleased with the wayn addressed Be.


    Be felt a mix of embarrassment and irritation, but her curiosity drove her to ask for more. “Keep


    going!”


    “Then I found out that she has a secret ount at Regarton Bank.


    The exact amount in the ount is unclear. However, I managed to uncover the sum she transferred


    from that ount to Savrow Bank this time. It was a whopping $200 million!”


    “$200 million? Damn, it seems like this old hag has been saving quite a sum for herself,” Ryan


    remarked, raising an eyebrow in amusement.


    “That’s probably the hush money and escape funds demanded by


    Winston,” Justin replied with a cold chuckle, his expression showing contempt.


    “What surprises me even more is how easily Shannon could ess such arge sum of money. On


    top of that, it’s from an ount from Regarton Bank!”n eximed, clearly taken aback.


    “As far as I know, Shannon has some shares from the Salvador


    Corporation and has been receiving dividends over the years. She probably has more than $200 million


    now. So, it’s usible,” Be stated, her brow furrowing in thought as she tapped her chin.


    “Shannon may have a substantial amount of money, but every penny is still under Gregory’s control.


    Her assets in the Salvador family’s ount arepletely transparent. Gregory’s management of her


    finances is a form of control over her. Therefore, the funds in the


    Regarton Bank ount must be her secret funds. Besides, the source of these funds is unclear. I’ve


    always had evidence that Shannon used Bethany’s boutique to attract influential figures to engage in


    bribery and moneyundering. However, no matter how hard they try, it would be difficult for them to


    earn $200 million through that boutique,” Justin exined.


    “If you’ve always had evidence, why didn’t you use it to take them down?” Be turned toward him, a


    tinge of resentment evident in her expression.


    Justin’s eyes darkened as he gently released her hair. His palm silently settled on her waist instead.


    His touch was so gentle that Be did not notice a thing.


    However, their intimate moment left the “third wheels” gaping in disbelief, their teeth gnashing with


    envy.


    “First of all, targeting a mere boutique wouldn’t cripple Shannon and Bethany. Besides, Gregory would


    spare no effort to shield them. If I had acted impulsively, it would indirectly harm the Salvador


    Corporation, leading to stock fluctuations and immeasurable losses,” Justin exined.


    Be nodded slowly, understanding his predicament at the time.


    Justin was not Gregory’s only son. In fact, to outsiders, he was the illegitimate child who had risen to


    power. The legitimate heir was also still in the picture.


    Be knew how difficult it was for Justin to rise to his position as president. She was also aware of the


    precariousness of his situation over the years.


    If he lost power in the Salvador Corporation, he would be at the mercy of others. And for the sake of his


    mother, he had to stand his ground.


    As he recalled the tragic loss of his mother, Justin was suddenly overwhelmed with profound sorrow,


    his breath growing heavy. “At that time, I didn’t know that Shannon was the one responsible for my


    mother’s death. So, I chose not to expose this matter for the time being. Be, you must think that I’m


    weak and useless, right? I feel like I’m nothing but a useless fool.”


    As these words left Justin’s lips, both Ryan andn were shocked to the core, as if struck by lightning.


    After all, they had just met up with Justin. Thanks to Be’s presence,

    Justin’s emotions had calmed considerably. Naturally, there was not an opportunity to share this with


    them.


    Be’s heart ached at the sight of her man’s deste gaze.


    Her eyes welled up slightly, wanting to reach out tofort him.


    However, her conflicted emotions held her back. She spoke gently,


    It’s not your fault. You were just a child back then, unaware of how cruel people can be. Revenge is a


    dish best served cold. It’s never toote to avenge your mother.”


    Justin looked up in astonishment, meeting her determined gaze.


    If it were not for the two clueless men present, Justin would have wanted to embrace her tightly, kiss


    her passionately, and shower her with affection. “Besides, you’re right about something. The evidence


    you have at the


    moment won’t do much against Shannon and Bethany. Gregory will spare no effort to protect them.


    Even if Shannon gets convicted, she won’t serve many years, and Gregory will find top-notchwyers


    like Hunter Lovett to bail her out. Even if she gets sentenced for three to five years, she’ll probably be


    released early.”


    “So, we must make sure that wretched woman faces all her charges and serves her time behind bars!”


    lan erupted in anger, standing up indignantly.


    “But will that be enough?”
