"Justin, they don''t understand you, but I do."


    Be sighed, putting her warm palms on the back of his hands. "If it were me, I''d do my best to fulfill my mother''s dying wish too. But I could understand your mother''s thoughts. What she actually wanted was for you to be capable enough to protect yourself, hoping you''d be strong.


    "The road you chose was not wrong. Even though you resent your father, Grandpa Nigel has always doted on you, contributing to your achievements today. For Grandpa Nigel, your perseverance and efforts are not without meaning."


    "Be... Thank you." Justin held back the lump in his throat, but his voice trembled lightly as he called out to her.N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content.


    "What are you thanking me for? I just know you too well." Be shed a sweet smile at him.


    "Now, Winston is willing to testify as a witness to use Shannon of hiring hitmen, taking drugs, and hiding drugs. Her sentence won''t be light." Axel''s brows furrowed. "But I know it''s far from enough. We wanted Shannon to get a death sentence. After all, she has more lives on her hands!"


    "It''s hard."


    Ralph frowned and shook his head, his expression heavy. "We don''t have evidence of her instigating murder. Moreover, Linny''s recordings were obtained illegally, so we can''t present them in court. Another point is that Justin''s mother''s case was over twenty years ago. Even if we have that maid''s testimony, it''s still not enough. Besides, Shannon''s defense attorney is Hunter. Who knows what sort of dirty tricks that bastard would use to deal with us?"


    Steven''s face paled, and he took a deep breath. "This time, I will stand in court as Linny''s defense attorney."


    Ralph and Axel were stunned. "Steven, you want to go to court?!”


    On the other hand, Be and Justin remained calm, even casting confident nces at him.


    A few days ago, Steven had already informed them of his n and received their support.


    He had been a secretary for the Thompson family for many years, and many people, including his brother, had forgotten that Steven was a top student from the bestw school in Savrow.


    If Steven genuinely wanted topete with Hunter, there would be no ce for Hunter in the legal field in Savrow.


    "This court appearance will be the showdown between me and Hunter."


    Steven''s gaze was burning with resolution. "I know what Hunter can''t ept it''s the feeling of suffering a crushing defeat, especially losing to me that will be worse than killing him."


    Be nodded solemnly.


    With a phone call, she could have countless outstanding attorneys flock to serve the Salvador Corporation and KS Group.


    But when it came to the impact on Hunter, Steven would be the sharpest knife.


    "Steven, it must be hard on you." Axel sighed softly, feeling moved.


    "Mr. Axel, there''s something I share inmon with Mr. Salvador. He lost his father, and I''ve long lost my brother."


    Steven poured a ss of wine and


    raised it to Justin. "Mr. S since we''re in the same


    shouldn''t we share


    Justin felt a warmth surge into his


    heart, and he immediately stood up, raising his


    for tak ss. "Steven, thank you


    for taking care of Be all this while and being willing to help. May we both get what we want."


    "Definitely." Steven''s eyes welled up with tears as he nodded heavily.


    Be stood up too, raising her ss with a smile. Her slim arms were hooked around Justin''s waist. "Come on! Let''s do it together!"


    The six wine sses raised above their heads were filled with a gleam of hope for victory.


    "Let''s do it!"
