Justin walked out of the study with a pale face. His chest was so tight that he was about to suffocate.
He found that Bella was like a scar seared in his heart. He did not dare to touch it because the slightest
touch hurt so much that his body might fall apart.
However, what he dared not recall was the fact that Bella had once loved him.
Justin was proud by nature. When he was poor and hungry as a child, he never begged for money or
humbled himself.
He and Bella were like gamblers at the betting table who were fighting for not money but dignity.
Justin must never admit that he was the loser in this bet.
âMr. Salvador.â Ian hurriedly walked up to him. âI have three things to report to you.â
âWhat is it?â Justin forced himself to calm down. A thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.
âThe first thing is that Ms. Gold has woken up, but sheâs not in the right state of mind. She keeps
shouting to see you.â
Justinâs eyes darkened. âThe second one?â
âThe chairman has found a very powerful lawyer for Shannon, who will be released early tomorrow
morning. I found out that her cousin Zephyr had taken all the blame. Shannon is getting away
unscathed.â Ian lowered his voice and sounded a little upset.
âWhatâs that lawyerâs name?â Justin frowned coldly.
âHis name is Hunter Lovett.
Justin was shocked. Gregory was indeed a veteran to be able to hire Hunter Lovett, the top attorney in
the country, to represent Shannon.
Ian took a step closer to Justin and continued, âWhatâs interesting is that Hunter Lovett is actually the
eldest brother of the young madamâs loyal secretary, Steven Lovett. Heâs actually the third son of the
Lovett family! What a small world!â
Justinâs dark eyes flashed with surprise.
Although the Lovett family was not a wealthy family, they were extremely famous in the legal circle.
Stevenâs father, Neil Lovett, was a well-known judge in the country. He was revered as the âgod of
justiceâ in legal and political circles. Neil had three sons. His eldest son, Hunter, served as a legal
consultant for two large conglomerates. He had won numerous high-profile lawsuits domestically and
abroad and had never been defeated. Neilâs second son, Clarence, followed his fatherâs legacy and
became a strict judge.
Neilâs youngest son, Steven, seemed mediocre, but his resume was astonishing.
After graduating from high school, Steven went to Savrow University of Political Science and Law on
scholarship and became the youngest person at Savrow University to achieve a doctorate in law. He
was a man of the hour in college. He could rely on his looks to earn a
living, but he still got a full scholarship and ranked first in every course. He was nicknamed â Acesâ.
However, such a rare talent willingly became Bellaâs secretary, who took care of her daily life like a
male nanny.
Bella was truly surrounded by hidden talents.
Justin could not help but feel bitterness in his heart. He said solemnly, âItâs only a matter of time before
Shannon is released. But it doesnât matter. There is no way she can join the board of directors now.â
âThe young madam is so amazing to be able to strike down that witch in one blow! Hehe⦠Mr.
Salvador, itâs all thanks to the young madam that we have gotten a bargain this time!â Ian rubbed his
hands happily.
Justin looked at him coldly. His handsome face darkened as he said, âIf you admire her so much, why
donât you work for her?â
Ian was speechless.
âIn the past, I won many battles, but you never got so excited. Think clearly about who pays your
salary.â
Ian kept quiet.
âWhatâs the third thing?â
âOh! I found the man who was with the young madam last night. Itâs really quite shocking to find out his
identity!â Ian was creating suspense again.
Justinâs eyes suddenly darkened. His voice was hoarse. âWho is he?â
âHeâs Christopher Iverson, the fourth and youngest son of Iverson Groupâs chairman. He has been
living in Sentania and just returned to Savrow a few days ago.â
Christopher Iverson from the Iverson Group?
Justinâs heart twitched, and his charming eyes were gloomy.
There were millions of projects in Savrow, and Iverson Group owned half of them. In Savrow, there was
a saying in the business community that the south was owned by the Salvadors, while the north was
owned by the Iversons.
The two families had hundreds of billions of dollars in assets and were separated by a deep river. They
seemed to be in harmony with each other, but in fact, they were at odds and had never stopped.
