Bella said, âBut how your wife got close to Dr. Fairchild, took drugs, and became addicted to the point that she risked everything
to get the drugs from him on the day of the horse-racing event was all her voluntary action. Nobody forced her in the slightest.
This is a setup, but Madam Shannon has had a choice since the beginning.â
After that, Justin gently held Bellaâs shoulders as they left the police station.
âDad! Are you letting her leave like that!? She is the culprit behind this trap to destroy Mom!â Bethany yelled anxiously.
Paul could not bear watching her any longer and mocked sarcastically, âWe need evidence to prove Ms. Bellaâs words. If you
donât have evidence, please mind your words, or Ms. Bella could sue you for slander.â
Bethany glared at Paul fiercely.
âCaptain Thompson, I'd like to meet Chief Collin.â Gregory looked at Ralph coldly.
Ralphâs lean figure stood against the wall with his arms crossed. *
Chief Collin is not around. Someone higher up is looking for him, so he went out.â
âThen I'll have to trouble you to call him now and ask him to meet me immediately.â
âSorry, Iâm just a low-ranking policeman. | donât have the authority to order a chief around.â
Ralph yawned and waved his hand. âIf you want to look for him, call him yourself.â
His neglectful attitude infuriated Gregory even more.
Gregory knew that Ralph was the son of Wyatt's second mistress and Bellaâs half-brother. He certainly would not treat him nicely.
âHmph! A mistressâs son would never be worthy of my time!â
Bethany continued sobbing, âDad, Bella is stepping over your head! Must we let that wretched woman manipulate us and let
ourselves be at her mercy?!â
âImpossible. Itâs impossible!â
Gregoryâs expression was stiff as he gritted his teeth. âI know what she wants. She just wants to marry Justin again. She could
dream on. I'll never let a scheming woman like her become my daughter-in- law. Itâs no use even if Dad sides with her!â
On the way home, Bella leaned against Justinâs chest softly, drawing circles on his solid chest muscles.
She said, âDonât offend your father for me anymore.â
âI'm not afraid,â Justin replied hoarsely, lowering his face to kiss her forehead.
âChairman Salvador is still the chairman and has the final say in the corporation. Aren't you afraid that he will fire you in a fit of
anger and pass the family business to your brother?â Bella voiced her concern seriously.
âIf Gregory really wants to abandon me, and Iâm not the president of the Salvador Corporation anymore, | might need you to
support me financially in the future.â Justin smiled bitterly.
âAre you planning to freeload? The Thompson family doesnât take in people who donât work.â Bella raised an eyebrow.
â| can do whatâs within my ability. Iâm very capable.â His chest muscles tightened, bouncing her fingertips.
âOh? How capable?â
