Asherâs gentle eyes squinted in a smile as he handed a file to Bella.
âWhatâs this?â
Bella took it with doubt and browsed through the file. Suddenly, she looked revitalized.
âSalvador Corporation won the new Baxim project, and Gregory handed it over to Shannon. The project
is estimated to be worth tens of billions of dollars, with a huge profit. There are a lot of shady dealings
involved, and itâs an opportunity to expand oneâs network in Savrow. More importantly, Shannon is
relying on this project to move up the corporate ladder and compete with Justin. Although she was an
actress before, she was very ambitious. She relied on Gregoryâs favor and wanted to gain control over
Salvador Corporation.â
âGain control of Salvador Corporation? Haha! How does she even dare to think about it? Isnât she
afraid she wonât be able to swallow it?â
Bella looked at the information with gleaming eyes. âGrandpa has developed Salvador Corporation to
where it is today. Even if Justin isnât capable of leading the company, itâs not Shannonâs turn to call the
shots.â
âYou should study this information tonight. Gregory and Shannon have an appointment with Mayor
Solloway at 1:00 p.m. the day after tomorrow. They will be meeting at the Salvadorsâ golf course in the
western suburbs of Savrow. They are probably going to promote the Baxim project.â
Asher put his arms around Bellaâs shoulders, looking like he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility.
âBella, itâs up to you to avenge me.â
âPft! I know what youâre doing.â
Bella tilted her head and leaned against Asherâs broad shoulders. âYou know that I wonât let them get
away with what they did to you, so you did the groundwork. That way, I can take my revenge. Youâre
treating me like a child, handing me freebies!â
âBella, donât expose my thoughts like that!â Asher pinched her cheek.
âAsh, Iâm all grown up now. Iâm 24 years old and have been married and divorced once.â
Bella turned to look at him seriously. âYou guys have sacrificed too much for me. Let me protect you
guys from now on, so you can live your carefree lives. Iâll take responsibility over KS Group!â

Rosalind, who had been humiliated by Justin during the day, called Shannon when she got home. She
cried and poured out her sorrows.
âServes you right!â
Shannon was so furious that she yelled, âI asked you to hold it in and not to contact Justin while heâs
still mad at you. But you didnât listen to me! Now that he rejected you, who can you blame but yourself?
Itâs your fault! Whatâs the use of crying now?â
âBut that bitch Bella came to the house! Justin brought her back to Tideview Manor!â
Rosalind burst into tears. âSheâs riding over my head. How can I just hold it in?â
âYou have to, even if you canât. I understood everything Justin said that day. Why didnât it get through to
your thick skull? If you want to be his wife, you have to be smart about it. All you do is get jealous, cry,
and make a fuss. Youâve wasted all my hard work grooming you!â
Shannon said in a sinister voice, âYour goal is to become the wife of Salvador Corporationâs
president, not play in a romantic drama with Justin! As long as you can achieve your goal, it doesnât
matter even if Bella Thompson shits on your head!â
âButâ¦..â
âThatâs enough! I will make arrangements for you. Right now, Iâm busy securing a spot on the board of
directors, so donât disturb me.â
After saying that, Shannon hung up.
Rosalind collapsed on the bed and almost crushed her phone.
At this time, she received another call.
It was an unknown number.
Rosalind wiped away her tears and answered angrily. âWho is it?â
âAshley, we havenât kept in touch for a long time. How are you doing in Savrow?â
Rosalind heard a manâs playful voice.
âItâs you?â Rosalind asked as her face turned as pale as paper.
Ashley was the name she used when she was studying in Meridan.
After she returned to Justin, Rosalind cut off all her social ties in Meridan. She deleted her social media
accounts and changed her email address and phone number, just to completely draw a line with her
past. Back then, she used to be a social butterfly who liked to sleep around.
Rosalind did not expect this man to find her.
âI really miss you, babe. Why donât you come and meet me? Do you want to come, or should I go over
to you?â
The man had a threatening tone.
Rosalindâs cold sweat soaked her silk skirt. She felt as if someone had strangled her neck, making it
difficult for her to breathe.
âWhere are you? Iâll go see you!â
