The words were few but etched into his bones.

He did not need to borate further.
The siblings had reconciled at this point.
In Be''s heart, Asher was as important as Justin, and she could not bear to throw a tantrum with him.
She was merely retaliating against her family''s pressure.
"Ash, how did that bastard Charles get bailed out? Why didn''t Wyatt stop it?!" Be was burning with
anxiety.
"I called mainly for this."
Asher took a deep breath and gritted his teeth. "Considering Amelia''s reputation and our family''s
image, Aunt Celeste decided to withdraw thewsuit after discussing it with Dad."
"Withdraw thewsuit?!" Be and Justin''s eyes widened with shock!
"How else would Charles get bailed out of the police station?"
Asher could not conceal the frustration in his tone. "Not only that, the Iverson Group had bribed the
major media in Savrow, preparing scripts to clear Charles'' name, portraying him as a pitiful victim.
"Even if we fight back, thewsuit has been withdrawn, and we could do nothing to him."
"Is Wyatt out of his mind?! For his image, he''s disregarding his daughter''s dignity?! Does the
Thompson family need an image to survive?"
Be was fuming, her shoulders trembling. "Aunt Celeste is gentle and weak. This must be Wyatt''s
idea! She can''t defy it!"
"Be, you''re wrong this time."
Asher sighed helplessly. "It was Aunt Celeste and Amelia''s suggestion. Dad was strongly against it at
first, intending to duke it out with the Iverson family. However, Aunt Celeste was stubborn, and I think it
was the biggest fight between her and Dad. Therefore, Dad could only respect Aunt Celeste and
Amelia''s wishes, swallowing his pride."
Be already had a fever, and her vision darkened from the anger as she listened.
Although it sounded harsh, was this not like having a useless teammate in a team battle?!
"Amelia is a Thompson and unmarried. If this incident spreads, even if she is the victim, it would harm
her reputation. It''s unpleasant to be pushed into the limelight and pointed at by others. Besides, with
such vicious people on the inte who are especially judgmental toward women, Amelia is at a
disadvantage. If this incident were exposed, Amelia would be hurt the most, not that animal."
Justin patiently stroked Be''s back, analyzing the situation calmly. "Be, don''t be mad at them. They
made this decision after weighing the pros and cons."
"Who cares about the online haters?! They are just a bunch of flies envious of the rich! As for those
narcissistic upper-society people, we don''t need to care about what they think! Those profit-seeking
scum... Aunt Celeste and Amelia belong to the Thompson family. The KS Group is a billion-dor
conglomerate. Even the President has to respect us. Who dares to look down on my sister?!" Be''s
eyes shed with anger.
Asher fell silent. He knew that when Be was overwhelmed with anger, it was useless tofort her.
But Justin watched her and patiently exined. "Be, you''re not wrong, but you overlooked a key
problem. Not everyone is as fearless and strong as you."
Be was taken aback, lowering her eyes, but her fingers curled tightly. "Yes, you''re right. But we can''t
let this matter go like this. Charles and the whole Iverson family must pay for it! If thew can''t punish
them, we will!"
Justin narrowed his eyes, his thin lips curling into a chilling smile. "It''s more convenient to take matters
into our own hands."
Be closed her eyes, trying to adjust her breathing and calm down. "Ash, go to my room. There''s a
document about Astrid''s husband epting bribes and corruption on myptop. Hand those to Axel.
He should know what to do."
Justin and Asher were both stunned.
Be was so amazing. During the two days she was grounded, she had to fight the Iverson family,
argue with her family, and be immersed in the sadness of being separated from her lover, yet she still
had the energy to do this.
"Not only that, I''ve secretly investigated Astrid too. She''s not innocent either."
