âMy dear Bella, youâve done well. All I did was assist you.â Justinâs eyes softened gradually, his heart
trembling intensely, unsure of how to properly thank her.
It seemed like he needed extra effort to shower her with love tonight..
Justin thought, âNo, I want to cherish her for a lifetime and love her to
the end of time.â
âHowever, I just heard from the police that they arrested her on drug- related charges. Why didnât
theyâ¦â Bella could not help but feel a little
puzzled.
Justinâs eyes darkened, âIâll tell you the details of my plan when we get
home tonight.â
With Shannonâs arrest, everyone except the young couple was caught
off guard.
Even Asher was shocked, shooting his sister an astonished look.
Meanwhile, Bella cheekily responded to him with a wink.
Wyatt embraced Celesteâs trembling and gently asked, âDid it frighten
you?â
Although seeing Shannon get what she deserved was indeed.
satisfying, Wyatt was still worried it might trigger Celesteâs trauma.
âWyatt, Iâm not as fragile as you think. Besides, Iâve been waiting for this day for as long as I can
remember.â
Celeste left Wyattâs embrace and walked directly to Bella, her gaze
voice
andled with gratitude.
âThank you so much, Bella.â
Bella blinked innocently, feigning ignorance. âWhat do you mean, Aunt Celeste? I havenât done
anything.â
âI know. I understand everythingâ¦â Celesteâs eyes welled up with tears as she held Bellaâs hand tightly.
âBella, Iâll forever owe you one for this. I know that I can never fully repay your kindness. But I promise
that Iâll make it up to you in this lifetime.â
âThis is nothing but karma in action. Shannonâs downfall today is simply divine retribution. Donât dwell
on it too much, Aunt Celeste. Go home and have a good sleep. Take Amelia on a trip abroad, and Iâll
keep you updated on the situation here. I have a feeling thereâs more drama to come. Shannonâs streak
of bad luck is far from over.â
Despite not claiming credit for her actions, Bellaâs words subtly hinted at a deeper intention.
Meanwhile, Christopher stood unnoticed in the shadows, adjusti his glasses with a grim expression.
âWhat do you think about this matter?â
Taylor pondered briefly before responding in a serious tone, âI believe it was a setup orchestrated by
Ms. Thompson and Justin. They have
a deep-seated grudge against Shannon, so theyâre definitely out to get
her by any means necessary.â
âHowâs Maxwell doing?â Christopher abruptly changed the subject.
âOur men have closely monitored him, and heâs still in Savrow.â
Christopher let out a sinister chuckle, his fingers curling tightly until her knuckles turned white. âI think
itâs time for him to leave Savrow.â
Taylor was surprised. âBut Maxwell had made many unreasonable demands before, asking you for
money and even a private jet from you⦠Didnât you say that we should keep him in check for now?
Why the sudden change?â
âJust give him whatever he wants. As long as it gets him out of Savrow.â Christopherâs tone was firm,
leaving no room for argument.
Taylor had a sudden realization, nodding firmly. âAll right, Mr. Iverson.â
The central screen at the racecourse went dark, but the excited chatter among the crowd did not
cease.
During the chaos, Logan seized the opportunity to signal to Liam.
Liam immediately took advantage of the distraction and approached Mr. Reed and his son. With a
smile, he said, âYouâve traveled a long way here. The Hoffman family wishes to extend our hospitality to
esteemed guests. I guarantee that we will ensure your satisfactio during your stay. Besides, given the
unfortunate situation, I think Chairman Iverson and Chairman Salvador will have some issues to
deal with and might not have time for you. Why not join us for some
rest first? What do you think?â
