"What exactly happened?"


    Justin''s eyes narrowed, and he shared a nce with Be tacitly.


    "Just now, Lance and James brought him out of the police station, and they even called a bunch of


    reporters!


    "James shamelessly tried to clear Charles'' name in front of the media, saying that he was innocent and


    set up by someone else. Everything was just a misunderstanding." Ian''s anger burned stronger as he


    spoke, his voice breaking.


    "Fuck! How is this possible?!"

    Be immediately sat up on the bed, causing Justin''s face to pale with fright. He immediately pressed


    her back down. "Be! Don''t move too much. Be careful of the needle!"


    "How is it possible?! How could that pervert be let out of the police station?!"


    Be snatched the phone and yelled anxiously atn, "Justin and I had made the arrangements, and


    Wyatt knew about it. He loves Amelia, too. How could he let the Iverson family do as they please? Why


    didn''t he stop them?!"


    "Young Madam, calm down for now." Ian''s throat was dry from anger. "I''m still investigating the details.


    Please wait for my update with Mr. Salvador."


    Immediately after he hung up, Be could not endure it any longer, nning to contact Ralph.


    However, as if there was a telepathic connection, another call came through Justin''s phone in time.


    Be stared at the screen, her heart skipping a beat as she pursed her lips.


    "Be, who is it?" Seeing her sullen expression, Justin quickly asked.


    "It''s... Asher."


    Justin pursed his lips too, and after a moment, he said softly, "Be, answer it. Don''t let your brother


    worry anymore."


    Be felt ufortable when she thought of how controlling her brothers were. She sounded crossed


    when answering the call. "Don''t bother to speak if you want to take me home. If not, keep it short and


    simple."


    On the other end, Asher''s expression stiffened, and his heart felt as if it were pricked by needles.


    Be was always sweet and gentle when she spoke to him, even over the phone. She would sound


    cute and affectionate.


    But their rtionship had be tense and estranged. The more he wanted to protect her, the further


    he pushed her away.


    "Be, Drew had told us about your situation."


    Asher''s voice was gentle as usual. "If you feel safe and happy by his side, I won''t stop you anymore."


    "Ash..." Be was surprised, her breath hitching.


    "Be, you were right. I only wanted to protect you because I failed to do so, resenting myself. I tried to


    make myself feel better, even at the expense of stripping you of your rights to love someone." Asher


    chuckled bitterly. "For the past two days, I''ve asked myself what I truly want. I only desire for you to


    gain genuine happiness, and this happiness is not something others force on you or measured by


    someone else. If I love you, I should give you whatever you want. If you want freedom, I should learn to


    let you go."


    Be''s heart tightened, and she felt a knot in her throat. "Ash..."


    Justin stood by her side, listening to Asher''s heartfelt words and feeling his eyes tear up.


    "I''ll gradually convince your other brothers. As for Dad..."


    Asher paused, trying to sound casual. "As long as you have a good life, he''ll understand it one day. So,


    Justin, you know what to do next, right?"


    "Yes. Please rest assured."


    Justin''s voice was hoarse as he pulled Be into his arms like a treasure. "Be is the only one for me.


    I''ll care for her with my life."
