Justin understood Be''s intentions and hugged her tenderly. "I know you''re doing this for Amelia.


    Everything you do is to prevent her from marrying into the Iverson family."


    His understanding made her feel bittersweet, and she murmured in his arms, "I just hate myself for not


    being strong enough. This is the only way I can think of. Do you think I''m ridiculous?"


    Justin felt a tingle in his nose as he gently stroked her back. "No, I think you''re very smart. At the


    moment, this is the best way. And I don''t think Wilson will hold a grudge against Chairman Thompson


    for this. A true businessman weighs the pros and cons. He should still choose KS Group. Even if you


    can''t cooperate with Journey Ventures, don''t worry. With me in charge, Iverson Group won''t have an


    easy time."


    Be was moved, her eyes brimming with tears. Although she had a father who was a top


    businessman and brothers who were capable, she was stubbornly independent. She had always dealt


    with difficulties on her own and did not rely on anyone. She did not want to worry her loved ones.


    Justin was the first person she wanted to rely on, and she wanted to lean on him for the rest of her life.


    Suddenly, the tranquil atmosphere was shattered by a loud noise.


    "Who is it?" Both of them frowned deeply, turning to look in the direction of the sound.


    At that moment, a figure shed past.


    "Justin, we must catch the person hiding in the dark. He might be eavesdropping!" Be''s eyes


    narrowed coldly. "Our conversation just now involved business secrets. If it reaches the ears of the


    Iverson family it will be troublesome!"


    Justin nodded sternly, his handsome face cold and resolute as he dashed in the direction the shadow


    had disappeared.


    Justin was skilled and had excellent eyesight, quickly catching up to the person. "Stop! Don''t make me


    attack you." The person stood with his back to him, slightly bent over. The man was panting heavily


    and was in a bad state. Justin furrowed his brows, feeling a sense of familiarity with the man. "Who are


    you?"


    "Mr. Salvador."


    The man turned around slowly.


    In the moonlight, Justin saw the man''s heavily scarred face, and his pupils widened in astonishment.


    "Steven?!"

    At that moment, Be rushed over as well.


    She noticed that Steven was covered in dust. His suit was tattered and torn, his clear face marred with


    bruises, and his left eye was swollen and bloodshot.


    "Steve!" Be ran to Steven in panic, her trembling hands gripping his shoulders and her voice hoarse


    with anxiety. "What happened... What happened?! Who did this to you?!"


    Steven gritted his teeth, turning his face away in embarrassment. He didn''t want her to see his


    miserable state, but there was no avoiding it.


    "Talk to me, Steve... Damn it, talk to me!" Be''s eyes turned red with urgency as she shook his


    battered body forcefully.


    "Be! Please calm down!" Justin quickly wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, holding her


    tightly. "Steven is injured. Shaking him like this will only hurt him more!"


    Be''s chest ached, feeling both pained and suffocated. She was gasping for breath, yet she couldn''t


    calm down.


    "Steven, now that things havee to this, do you still want to hide it?" Justin held the trembling


    woman tightly, his voice solemn. "Do you think hiding it is good for Be? This way, she''ll only feel more


    miserable and tormented!"


    "Ms. Be... Can you please not let Amelia marry Charles?" Steven couldn''t hold back anymore, tears


    streaming down his cheeks unconsciously. "As long as Amelia doesn''t marry Charles, I''ll do anything!"


    Be instantly understood, her eyes turning bloodshot. "Were you attacked by someone from the


    Iverson family?"


    Justin also came to the same conclusion, and his fist clenched involuntarily.
