?


    Be was just yfully teasing him, throwing a little fit for fun. She knew better than anyone how loyal her man was.


    But who would have guessed that a simple joke would frighten Justin so much?


    Justin dropped to one knee in front of Be, raising his handsome face with a serious and solemn expression, swearing with three fingers raised.


    "Be, I swear that in this life, the next life, and the life after that I will only love you, be devoted only to you, and want no one but you. If I ever have a change of heart, I will get struck by lightning and torn into pieces!"


    "Ah... Alright, I was just joking." Be could not stand him being like this, so she hurriedly tried to cover his mouth, but he grabbed her hand firmly. "Last night, I went out. I went to Pivotage with Drew and Ralph."


    Be''s heart raced as she tenderly traced the features of his face, her voice quivering a bit. "Goodness, how could you keep something this huge from me? Nothing bad happened, right?"


    "Don''t worry, nothing happened." Justin took her hand and gently rubbed it. "Drew found out that the person who hired the assassin to kill Mrs. Hopkins was Christopher''s secretary, Taylor. When Drew called, you were still asleep. I couldn''t bring myself to wake you, but I was also worried that Drew might put himself in danger, so I rushed over quickly. Even if you had been awake, I wouldn''t have let you go."


    Be felt a warmth in her heart. She cupped his face and gave him a kiss on the forehead.


    "Unfortunately, Christopher was already one step ahead. He had quickly shut down Pivotage and dismissed everyone while he and Taylor left Savrow in a hurry, possibly even the country."


    Justin bit his lip in frustration. "It''s my fault. I was one step toote."


    Be''s heart sank. "Then... What about Yvonne?"


    "She left yesterday, and ording to the staff there, she''s nning to marry Taylor."


    "What?! Then Drew..."


    "Drew isn''t doing so well right now." Justin''s expression turned more somber. "The only way to help him feel better is to track down Ms. Smith." Be''s eyshes fluttered nervously, and her eyes glistened with tears. She was deeply saddened.


    "Yvonne... She''s been through so much hardship. I''m really worried about her..."


    Be had already epted Yvonne as a friend and her future sister-inw. Yvonne''s painful past did not matter to Be. She simply hoped Yvonne''s future would be bright and smooth sailing.


    Be hoped she and Drew could have a wonderful future together too.


    "Be, don''t cry." Seeing her tears, Justin couldn''t help but feel sad. He gently wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes with his fingertips. "We won''t give up on Ms. Smith, and Drew won''t either. Right now, what''s most important is to find Christopher as soon as possible!"

    Justin gazed down at her, his lips curling into a warm, indulgent smile, like a ruler utterly captivated by his cherished lover.


    However, he was also carefully considering her question.


    "If I were in his shoes, I''d go


    somewhere familiar or where I could get support and assistance. After all, I''m not a fugitive, so I wouldn''t need to hide in random ces. Even if t were wanted, many countries don''t


    have extradition agreement with


    us, As long as I had local.


    connections and sufficient funds, I could still livefortably."


    "Hmm, your analysis is spot on." Be rested on his arm, her eyes narrowing slightly. "So, I think there''s a good chance Christopher has already fled back to Sentania."


    Justin''s brows furrowed deeply. "If that''s true, it will be even harder to deal with. That would be like letting a tiger return to the mountains. After all, Christopher had made his fortune in Sentania. Sentania is his stronghold, his old den!"


    "No matter how difficult it is, we


    have to try our best. This time, we can''t let that man slip away again!" Be gritted her teeth. "I''ll contact Cami and Edward. I''ll ask them to send people to investigate and see if they can find any trace of


    Christopher."


    Overnight, the situation at the Iverson Group took a dramatic turn, sending the entirepany into a state of panic.From N?velDrama.Org.


    News of Chairman Iverson''s sudden disappearance rapidly circted through Savrow''s social circles, triggering a flurry of rumors and spection. Three dayster, Axel and his team of men confidently strode through the main entrance of the Iverson Group headquarters.


    Word quickly spread that the prosecutors had arrived, causing widespread panic throughout thepany. This wasn''t just a disruption; it was a full- blown crisis.


    The current puppet leader of the Iverson Group was the General Manager, Jeffrey. He hurriedly gathered his people to try and stop them. But with all the proper procedures in ce, there was no stopping this.


    "Everyone, stand down! No one is allowed to move!" Axel kicked the door open and shouted angrily. Inside the office, the employees who had been trying to destroy incriminating financial records and problematic documents turned pale with fear, frozen in ce.


    One brave employee attempted to force more papers into the shredder, but Axel quickly strode over and snatched them away.


    "Seize all theputers, hard drives, and documents!" Axel ordered, and his team immediately sprang into action, sweeping through the office like a powerful gust of wind.


    "Mr. Jeffrey." Axel called out coolly with his hands in his pockets.


    “Huh...?” The general manager was already trembling with fear.


    "We''re here to investigate because Chairman Christopher Iverson is involved in a serious case of embezzlement, bribery, and misappropriation of funds. You must cooperate with our investigation."


    Jeffrey nervously wiped the sweat from his forehead and stammered, "Yes... Of course..."


    "Where is Christopher''s office?" Axel''s eyes were cold and fierce, and his presence was so overwhelming that it felt as though an invisible storm was swirling around him. "Take us there immediately."
