Chapter 1168: Chapter 1168

“Bella, there’s one thing among the evidence Simon provided me, but

I’m hesitant to present it to the court. Shannon can still be charged without this piece of evidence. But it

can make Gregory drop Shannon

completely.”

Ralph pulled out his laptop and played a clip captured on surveillance.

Despite the absence of sound, the video was rather provocative.

Justin gasped sharply. Even though they were all adults, he still tried to cover Bella’s eyes.

In the video, Shannon rode on Simon with her eyes closed. She enjoyed the motion in full nudity.

Ralph kept a stoic face. During his years of service in the force, he

had seen brain gunk and chopped bodies. Shannon’s homemade video was equally gross.

Bella pulled herself together and mocked her with a straight face.” The witch sure kept her figure.”

“Dr. Fairchild sacrificed a lot.” Ralph sighed and shut his laptop.

”

Bella said, “This video never existed. Don’t ever let the video get out.”

Both men knew that she was protecting Simon’s last dignity.

Simon volunteered to be Bella’s pawn and gave up his dignity as a human in the game. He would do

anything, even at the cost of ruining himself, just to give Bella whatever she needed.

“If I had to take revenge at the expense of stripping another’s dignity, I

would look down on myself. I won’t be a slave to hatred.” Bella gritted

her teeth, the pain still killing her inside.

“Bella…”

Justin and Ralph stood behind her and stared at her strong but

crestfallen back, not knowing the right words to say.

Ralph walked them out of his office.

They quickly came face-to-face with Hunter, who was in a foul mood.

Justin held Bella’s hand tight and stared at the man with piercing

eyes.

Hunter could not breathe because Justin’s gaze felt like a knife to his

throat.

Still, Hunter got his act together and mocked, “You sure have an

extensive network, Ms. Thompson.”

“Thanks for the compliment.”

Bella curled her lips and smirked cockily. “But it’s a shame you did all the work for Mrs. Salvador, and

everything came to nothing. I heard that you never lost a case in your decade-long career. Even your

law firm carries the undefeatable signage proudly.”

Taking Bella’s lead, Justin raised his brow and taunted, “I think you

can remove the signage first thing in the morning before anybody questions your claim when

Shannon’s case goes to court.”

Ralph snickered behind them.

The handsome couple was relentless in making snide remarks. Maybe the trait was transferable

through kisses.

Hunter gritted his teeth in resentment.

Shannon was only charged with using. The case was not huge, but

the defeat would cost him his reputation in the industry and with

Gregory.

Hunter had never lost before, and he could not stand a defeat.

Bitter, Hunter gnashed his teeth and let out a sinister smile. “Haha. I have underestimated you, Ms.

Thompson. I thought you were a tough

woman, but it turns out you sacrifice your decency for anything a

man can do for you.”
