Bethany could not dodge in time and was also caught in it. She was so nauseous that she almost
vomited.

The crowd was stunned!
Everyone fell into a great shock, including Be and Justin.
Who could have thought that an old woman who was bedridden a few days ago due to the passing of
her only remaining family was filled with the strength to kill her enemies now? She red at Shannon,
and every inch of her bones seemed indestructible!
Itmanded respect from the others.
“You evil bitch… Get lost now! Don’t stand here and dirty Linny’s road to heaven!”
Linny’s grandmother stood straight, despite her small frame. Her voice was full of vitality. “If you don’t
scram now, I’ll bust your head open with these bowls! My only granddaughter is not here anymore.
There’s nothing left for me to live for. I’m not afraid of using my life to go against you corrupted
conglomerates!”
Shannon and Bethany arrived grandly, but they ended up damaging their own image and fleeing in
desperation.
Their departure also brought the reporters away. After all, they needed to write about the wife of the
Salvador Corporation’s chairman’s glorious deeds.
Although Linny’s, funeral started amidst the chaos, it ended smoothly.
After the fuss Shannon and Bethany made, Linny’s grandmother exhausted herself and fainted. She
was urgently sent to the hospital by the Thompsons to receive the best care and treatment.
In the lounge, Be sat on the sofa and looked gloomy.
Although they had won this battle, she still shook in anger when she thought of how Shannon and
Bethany humiliated and bullied Linny in Wilma’s recording. It was as if thousands of arrows had pierced
her heart, making her convulse in pain.
Asher and Axel took care of the aftermath, as they needed to control the media. Even though Justin
had announced his stance in front of the whole nation’s media, they still needed to take precautions to
protect their sister.
Ralph wanted to stay with Be but had other cases to deal with at the police station and left first.
The ones apanying her in the lounge were Steven, Amelia, Drew, and Justin.
“Did you turn on the air conditioner? Why is it a little cold?” Be asked in a daze, hugging herself.
“No, Be.”
Amelia looked worried. “Are you sick? I’ll get a nket for you.”
Just as she was about to leave, Justin quickly took off his suit jacket and wrapped it around Be’s
body carefully, as if he were looking after an infant.
Be’s wetshes lifted, and her heart skipped a beat.
Justin kneeled before her on one knee, staring into her reddened eyes as if he wanted to delve into the
softest and most painful corner of her heart.
“Be, I know what you’re thinking. I understand you.” He did not say more than necessary, but his
simple words hit harder instead.
“I just feel cold.” Be’s pale lips parted as she muttered, looking at him with teary eyes.
Justin’s heart ached as if it had been run over by a truck. He opened his arms and hugged her, wanting
to envelop Bepletely.
“Are you still cold?” His deep voice echoed in her ear.
Be bit her lips lightly, her body leaning against his chest like she was boneless, and shook her head.
“With me around, you’ll never be cold again.” Justin coaxed her like a child.
He knew that Be was reminded of some painful memories. She was never really over Linny’s death.
They would take it slow. When a kind person was emotionally wounded, it would take a long time to
heal. He had enough love and patience for that.
Drew and Steven watched as the two silently embraced each other like animals searching for warmth.
The tension that hung in their hearts dissipated.
Amelia, being an emotional person, felt touched. Her eyes teared up.
Suddenly, she felt a warm sensation in her hand.
Steven gently took her hands, slowly interlocking their fingers.
