Be said, "Was it James'' scheme?!"


    Justin exined, "It could be a possibility. This incident indirectly caused the Iverson couple to split up. Mrs. Iverson med Christopher, who wasn''t well-liked at home anyway, and he got sent off to Sentania for fifteen years with nobody caring for him. Meanwhile, Mrs. Iverson''s health declined over time, and Christopher received almost no financial support from the Iverson family either. Living in Sentania was tough for him."


    Be was somewhat surprised and asked, "Are you defending your enemy?"


    Justin smiled faintly and said, "No, I''m just stating the facts. Even if he is my enemy, I won''t twist the truth."


    Be was moved, and she wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a peck on the lips.


    It was this integrity and openness that Christopher could neverpare to.


    "So, do you think he wouldn''t hold a grudge? If I were him, I''d also spare no effort toe back and avenge my mother, no matter the cost," Justin said, his gaze deep and distant.


    "But that still doesn''t justify what he did." Be continued shaking her head. "Besides, if he wanted revenge, he could have targeted the Iverson family. Why did he have to harm you, Asher, and Cami? How could he not know that Edward was my brother-inw when he was in Sentania? He imed to love me but shamelessly went after my family behind closed doors. Just because my brother didn''t approve of him, he conspired with Maxwell and tried to secretly get rid of him."


    She continued, "If things didn''t go his way, he''d make sure everyone else suffered along with him. He''s willing to hurt anyone who doesn''t do as he says, even if it''s someone rted to the person he loves! How many more people does he want to hurt before he''s satisfied? He''s too selfish and heartless!"


    Justin blinked slowly as he struggled to find the right words. It felt a little silly to join Be in cursing Christopher.


    Be fell silent for a moment, then suddenly said, puzzled, "Back then, Christopher was young and had no one to help him. How did he manage to rise up and expand his business then?" Justin''s eyes lit up. "That''s a good question. Be, I''ve also been puzzled by this and have been secretly investigating."Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    "Even you, who came from the Salvador family, only managed to reach your current position with your grandfather''s strong support. How could Christopher not have someone supporting him behind the scenes?"


    Be''s lustrous eyes flickered with


    suspicion. "There must be someone high-ranking and powerful backing him up in Sentania that''s using him


    for those risky deals they Celibe


    openly engage in. They even


    manipte him into drug trafficking, controlling elections, and killing anyone who stands in their way."


    Justin couldn''t look away from Be. His heart raced as he leaned in,


    unable to resist kissing her


    passionately. Every word she said


    ignited something within him. It was


    like they were totally in sync.


    "Mm..." Be let out a soft gasp, gently pushing him away. "If we figure out who''s supporting Christopher behind the scenes, maybe we could bring him down and remove him once and for all!"


    Justin felt a surge of jealousy


    welling up inside him. This girl waspletely fixated on figuring out how to deal with Christopher. Although he knew she was seeking justice, she seemed to not give any thought to anything else and


    probably never had the time to think


    about him.


    He replied, "Be, I''m thinking the same thing as you. I''m now looking into this from a different perspective to see if there''s a way to take down Christopher."


    "When I have time, I''ll contact Cami and Edward to see if there''s a way to solve this," Be said, feeling relieved and filled with fighting spirit.


    Justin smiled fondly and held onto her small waist. "It''s gettingte. Do you want to go to sleep?”


    "Well, I still feel full," Be said as she patted her round belly.


    "Should we go rowing?"


    Be raised her eyebrows, teasing him. "Do you believe everything I say? It''s so dark outside. Let''s not drown in theke."


    "Then... Shall we go back to the room and do some other activities to help with digestion?" Justin said as his breathing became heavier, his low maic voice carrying a seductive tone. Be''s heart skipped a beat, feeling shy in his embrace. "Um... Let''s just go rowing..."


    Justin did not know whether to be happy or upset. Is she getting bored of me? It seems that I''ll have to unlock some new tricks.
