âMs. Bella, do you not need me anymore?â Stevenâs lips trembled.
He dragged his heavy body, stumbling while making his way to Bella. â Did I drag you down? I admit I
canât fight, but please give me another chance. Iâll train my combat skills so that I can protect you!â
Justin frowned deeply, feeling bitter and sour in his heart.
Bella has never lacked men who would rush to protect her, so what he did for her was not worth
mentioning.
âSteven, you got it wrong.
Bella smiled bitterly. âI will join KS Group and take over Asherâs position. Itâs a waste of your talent to be
my secretary. I want you to be the Head of the Legal Department to maximize your expertise and
profession. That way, you can still help me and my father. Isnât that great?â
Any other person would be overjoyed to hear this arrangement.
However, Steven looked defeated, like a dog that had been kicked o of the house by its owner.
He thought that Bella did not want him anymore. She never knew what he really wanted.
All he asked for was to stay by her side forever.
However, after the incident, Steven felt that he was incapable of
protecting Bella, and the man who could do that was right before his
eyes.
With these thoughts, Steven looked at Justin with red and teary eyes.
At this moment, Justin was staring intently at Bella.
No matter the time or place, as long as Bella was present, she would be the only one in Justinâs eyes.
âAnyway, whatâs important now is to heal your injuries. Thatâs more important than anything else.â
Bella steadied herself and revealed her first smile in a long while.â You have to come back in your best
condition. The KS Group doesnât keep idlers.â
Steven knew that Bella had made up her mind, so he could only nod
heavily.
âDrew, is Linnyâs body in the morgue now?â Bella looked at Drew and spoke in a hoarse voice.
âYes. We informed Linnyâs grandmother yesterday and sent a c bring her to Savrow to claim the body.â
Drew had a sorrowful expression. âShe begged us to seek justice f
Linny.â
âLinnyâs funeral must be dignified and proper. We must do a good job
of comforting her family. Her grandmother wonât ask us for
compensation, but we need to be considerate of her needs.â
âI know. Donât worry, baby sis.â
Drew sized her up with surprise. âWhere are you going like this? Asher
made it clear that you are not allowed to be
hospital. He will punch me if you leave!â
âLooking at the sunset every day while lying in bed has no meaning
and is self-destructive. Is the phone repaired?â
Bella suddenly changed the topic, stunning Drew. âHuh? Oh, itâs
repaired, but I didnât do it.â
âWho did?â Bella frowned.
âRalph. Linnyâs phone is evidence that needs to be sent to the forensic department for repair and
inspection. However, Ralph told me last night that itâs almost done. There should be news today.â
Bellaâs gaze darkened. She walked to Justin and raised her chin, looking into his eyes.
Justinâs heart trembled under her burning gaze, and his fingers curled inward, balling into a fist.
âJustin, come to the police station with me.â
Bellaâs gaze carried a sense of power, as if she could see through soul, making it impossible to reject
âWe need to cooperate with investigation. Also, thereâs another important matter you need to
know.â
