Chapter 237
Shannon was flustered.
From when Zephyr was arrested, to Salvador Corporation’s negative coverage on the news, to when the prosecutors took Shannon away, this series of events left the Salvadors with no time
to react.
“Why? Why are you arresting me? What evidence do you have?!” Shannon was so stunned that the noble composure she had worked so hard to maintain suddenly fell apart.
Even Bethany looked pale and petrified. She could only watch silently as her mother was taken
away.
“Greg! Help me! You must save me!” Shannon stretched her neck and shouted at Gregory, tears spilling on the green grass below. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
Gregory was so anxious that his face turned red. He wanted to stop them, but he also did not want to lose his composure as a chairman in public. Thus, he could only displace his anger on Bella. “Ms. Thompson! What is the meaning of this?”
“Chairman Salvador, what are you yelling at me for? The people who took your wife away are from the prosecutor’s office.” Bella smiled back innocently.
“How did you know what would be broadcasted on the three o’clock news today? Why did you dare make insinuations from all the nonsense you spoke of earlier? Aren’t you the one who created all this?”
“KS Group is a large conglomerate. We have eyes and ears everywhere. If the media knew about this matter, why wouldn’t my company receive this news? Chairman Salvador, you are thinking too much.” Bella’s eyes flashed with contempt.
Gregory became so angry that his eyelids twitched. “Ms. Thompson, just because your marriage to Justin ended in a divorce, you don’t have to take revenge on our family. No one is to blame for this! You two just aren’t fated to be together!”
Mayor Solloway and his wife looked dumbfounded.
The Thompsons and the Salvadors actually had a marriage alliance? When did this happen? This seemed unbelievable.
“Because you are still harboring resentment from the divorce, you took your anger out on Salvador Corporation and plotted against them. Don’t you think you are being petty and unscrupulous?”
These words were really unpleasant to hear. Even Steven felt a stab in his chest.
Just as Steven was about to defend Bella, Justin took a step forward.
Justin stood tall in front of Bella and confronted his father with a cold glare.
“Chairman Salvador, I know you’re really angry right now, but you can’t just blame all this on Ms. Thompson without any evidence.”
“Justin! You are actually defending her?”
Gregory’s anger rose. His eyes were bloodshot. “You are both divorced now. Not only is she
irresponsible and shameful, she has now betrayed our family. Why are you protecting such a woman?”
Justin frowned slightly. He then turned around to look at Bella. There was depth in his gaze, but it was hard to read his emotion.
Bella’s eyes met his deep gaze. Then she turned away in disgust and curled her lips into a sneer.
Sure enough, this refined and self-serving man always sided with his family.
After all, Gregory’s blood was flowing through Justin’s body. He was no different from his father. They were both idiots who were deceived by women.
“I believe she didn’t do this.” Justin looked at her as he said it.
Bella was stunned and slowly turned to look at him. At this moment, he turned back and said, Even if we are divorced, I will stand by her side as long as she is wrongly accused.”
Justin smiled and added sternly, “Even if we hadn’t gotten divorced, it wouldn’t be your place to teach my wife a lesson.”
Bella rolled her eyes. She pursed her red lips and plugged her ears.
What nonsense! No one should even be listening to this.
Gregory was furious. His head buzzed, and his blood pressure rose.
If there were no outsiders present, he would have definitely rushed up and slapped his traitorous son in the face.
Seeing Justin and Gregory quarreling like this, Bella felt an inexplicable warmth within her, so she did not bother to continue arguing with Gregory.
Anyway, she had achieved her goal. There was only one thing left.
“I reckon you will both be very busy today, so I won’t bother you any longer and will take my leave.”
Bella and Steven turned around and walked toward the golf cart.
“Ms. Thompson! Ms. Thompson! Please wait for a moment!”

Mayor Solloway wiped his sweat and hurriedly caught up to her. “I think we should have an in- depth discussion about Baxim!”
“I think we should have a chat too.”
Bella smiled slightly, but her attitude was obviously that of someone with the upper hand. “I will arrange to meet with you in the next two days. Please wait for the arrangements.”
“I will most certainly wait for you. You’re welcome anytime!” Mayor Solloway was so enthusiastic that he almost seemed like a completely different person.
“Ms. Thompson, if you don’t mind, can I bring my son with me? It would be an honor if my son could meet someone like you.” Mrs. Solloway was all smiles as she tried to get to know Bella.
Who wouldn’t want to be acquainted with the daughter of the richest man in Hatchbay?
Justin suddenly felt suffocated. His expression turned as dark as a total solar eclipse.
He thought, ‘This woman should be hidden away somewhere and be well taken care of. As soon as she is out in public, she attracts too much unnecessary attention because of her beauty!’
