?Chapter 2024


    As he spoke, Steven nced at thewyer.


    Thewyer immediately understood and stood up. "Mr. Salvador, Ms. Be, since Mr. Jenkins has entrusted me to this case, I''ll do my best. I won''t disturb you further."


    Steven politely saw thewyer out while Be quickly picked up the document and read it with Justin. "


    This is the information about Owen Hopkins I''ve asked Steven to investigate."


    Justin''s brows raised in surprise. "Be, you have the same thought I had. I wanted to go after this Owen guy after investigating Southern Star. You''re too clever."


    Unable to resist, he pecked her lips again and again.


    "Hmph, if I''m not smart, how could I keep up with you?"


    Be pouted yfully and then nuzzled his face. "This is a fierce battle. I can''t possibly leave everything to you. I must do my best to share the burden with you."


    Instantly, Justin''s eyes stung, and his heart warmed up. He would rather his lover be clumsy andzy, letting him pamper and dote on her without a care.


    Be being passionate and motivated only made him feel guilty, as he could not provide her with a peaceful and stable life.


    Be carefully read through the information and suddenly narrowed her eyes. "Mrs. Hopkins has Alzheimer''s?"


    Steven nodded seriously, "Yes. After I found out, I made a point of visiting the nursing home where Mrs. Hopkins stayed and understood the situation. The caretakers there said Deputy Chief Hopkins and his wife were deeply in love. Mrs. Hopkins has been sick for many years and can''t take care of herself now, but Deputy Chief Hopkins still stuck to her side, always doing the dirtiest and most exhausting tasks. They were touched and saddened by it."


    This information was indeed surprising to Justin and Be.


    Owen Hopkins held a high-ranking and powerful position, and he was a handsome man in his prime with a bright future. Countless women threw themselves at him, hoping to take the ce of Mrs. Hopkins and be the respected wife of a deputy chief.


    However, they did not expect Deputy Chief Hopkins to be so loyal to his wife. He had a clean private life and political career.


    No matter how they looked at it, he seemed like an exemry man and husband.


    "How is Mrs. Hopkins'' condition now?" Be asked while looking through the document.


    "Terrible." Steven frowned deeply. "Her Alzheimers'' is already at ate stage. Deputy Chief Hopkins has drained his savings to treat his wife and visited all the reputable hospitals in the world, but his effort was in vain. I heard from the caretakers that Mrs. Hopkins can''t recognize him now. Some of them have also seen Deputy Chief Hopkins secretly wiping his tears in the corridor."


    Although it was unrted to her, Be still felt ufortable when she heard this.


    "So, he secretly worked with Christopher for that unfounded drug."


    Justin was only gentle toward his lover, always remaining rational and cold to the others. "Even if he wants to save his wife, it is not a justified reason for him to participate in Christopher''s dirty business."


    "Human nature is not ck and white." Be sighed helplessly, and her gaze dimmed. "I''m thinking, if I were in his shoes, would I also take the risk? I think... I might."


    "Be, you won''t." Justin held her hand and inteced their fingers tightly. "You''re not a selfish person, and you can''t be that cruel. You''re the kindest person I''ve ever seen."


    "Ah.... If that''s the case, then Owen really might do anything."


    Steven tried to rte to Owen and realized something, his eyes widening. "Anyone who gets in the way of the new drug''s development must die."


    Justin narrowed his eyes. "It looks like Mr. Storm''s situation is connected to him as well."


    Be exchanged a look with Justin, her red lips slightly curled up. "Looks like we''ll have to make time to visit Mrs. Hopkins."


    Lance informed Christopher to meet him, but Christopher was in no rush and only arrived casually when it was evening.


    The secretary led him into the chairman''s office, and Taylor waited outside.This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    The air in the office was tense. Lance sat on the sofa and stared at him with a dark gaze. "Why are you only here now?"


    "Didn''t you see that I''m injured? I went to the hospital." Christopher smiled ambiguously and pointed at his ear.


    To meet Lance, he had deliberately re-bandaged his wound. He could not let anyone make a joke out of him.


    Lance nced at him and sneered. "Aren''t you always the one biting others? I didn''t think there''d be a day when you''d get bitten by a dog,"


    The smile on Christopher''s lips gradually turned cold.


    He was undoubtedly calling him a dog.


    "What were you up to recently? Do you want me to tell you, or you''ll confess yourself?" Lance suppressed his anger and stared at him coldly.
