After a while, Shannon took a deep breath and forced herself to be calm as she opened the door.
âWhat is it?â
âMadam Shannon, why are you here? Chairman Salvador is looking for you everywhere.â Paul's eyes kept darting into the room.
âI'm tired, so | found a place to rest. What are you looking at? Do you suspect that Iâm hiding someone?â
Shannon crossed her arms and leaned against the door, mocking coldly, âSomeone with a dirty heart truly sees the world
through a dirty lens. Go in. Sniff around and check carefully! Youâd better be able to find a man in there, or | wonât spare you!â
âMadam Shannon, you misunderstood. | donât mean that.â
Paul said nothing else and smiled humbly, gesturing for Shannon to follow him. âChairman Salvador wants you to go to the VIP
area immediately. Everyone is there except for you. Heâs worried people will talk, so please follow me.â
The atmosphere was tense in the VIP area.
Zoe hid behind Logan, her face ashen, standing motionlessly as if she were frozen.
Aiden had been working for her grandfather for as long as she could remember. He would help Logan carry out countless dirty
deeds and handle everything properly each time, leaving no traces. Why did he get caught so quickly this time? Impossible!
The other Hoffman family members were also shocked, their heads buzzing.
âAiden... How could it be you?!â Loganâs body shook, and Liam quickly supported him.
He had personally adopted Aiden from an orphanage and spent a lot of effort and resources to train him. Aiden was his secretary
on the surface, but he had long treated him as a foster son. They had a good relationship.
âMr. Hoffman, |... Ah!â
Before Aiden could finish his words, he felt an excruciating pain in his back when lan kicked him.
Everyone was stunned.
Bellaâs pupils contracted, and her nerves tensed up.
She did not expect that lan, who always followed quietly behind Justin and revealed no emotions, had such an impulsive side. It
was just so he could get justice for her.
At this time, Justin gently held her waist and said softly, âAre you frightened?â
âTsk! Why would | be scared when someone else is getting beaten?â Bella snorted disdainfully, but the warmth at her waist made
her heart itch.
âIn the past, | was always the one on the borderline of exploding, and lan would scramble to comfort me, asking me to keep a
cool head.â
Justin narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly in satisfaction. âThis is the first time he acted recklessly and couldn't contain his
emotions. Itâs all for the sake of his Young Madam.â
Bellaâs long eyelashes fluttered. Justinâs deep voice and his breath near her ears made her want to lower her face shyly as an
electric current ran down her spine.
lanâs kick was too quick.
He was not satisfied and kicked

âHow audacious! A mere secretary dares to touch someone from our family?!â Liam shouted, his brows scrunching in anger.

from their master.
âWho dares to touch my secretary?â Justinâs eyes were dark as he coldly swept across the Hoffmans, his gaze carrying a chilling
anger.
Justin was like a king who held control over the situation. His gaze was oppressive to the people present.
The crowd immediately fell silent.
Seeing this, lanâs fearless face immediately flushed with excitement. He even looked at his boss with tearful eyes.
âMr. Salvador, your dog dares to beat
my secretary in public. Who ordered
him to do so? tS the lewly people

Loganâs gray eyebrows furrowed.
âYou kept saying that my secretary

What do you mean by that?â
