In the following days, Bella and Justin decided to divide and conquer their tasks separately. Although Justin no longer openly defied Gregory, he secretly fueled the public's outrage, determined to use this intense scrutiny to force Christopher out of his dark hiding place.
One day, just as Justin was about to attend a meeting, he unexpectedly received a call from Sasha.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Aunt Sasha," Justin greeted, his voice steady, courteous, and approachable.
Sasha, who was usually sharp-tongued and critical, spoke to Justin in a rare tone of warmth and restraint, tinged with a trace of guilt.
"Justin, I still haven't properly thanked you for what you did last time. If you hadn't arrived in time, Southern Star would have been doomed. I'm still terrified when I think about it. If something had happened to Southern Star... I don't know how my father would have carried on. I wouldn't have been able to face Wyatt either." "Aunt Sasha, you don't have to be so formal. Everything I did was my duty." Without a hint of arrogance, Justin remained as humble as ever. "The fact that you, Uncle Wyatt, and the entire Thompson family were willing to acceptagain and allow Bella andto reconcile that trust alone is something I'll spend my life repaying." Nearby, lan could not help but marvel at his boss.
Justin's sweet words and flattery used to be somewhat awkward, as if he were borrowing Ryan's words. Now, though, they flowed naturally, as smooth as silk.
"Justin, don't say that. You're makingfeel even worse." Sasha took a deep breath, her tone firm. "I called to thank you but also to pass on a message from my father. Tonight, he's holding a press conference where he'll reveal everything about the illegal drug abuse Southern Star Syndicate has been subjected to." Justin's expression turned to shock. "This is no small matter. Please, you and Chairman Jenkins must think it over carefully." "My father knew you would say that. Because exposing Southern Star Syndicate's situation would be like laying bare his weaknesses and inviting investigation by the police and prosecutors. But my father is tired, Justin. He's truly exhausted. He'd rather be summoned by the police and even risk going to prison than keep silent. He wants everyone to know just how terrifying this drug is. Besides, given Southern Star's current condition, only bypletely overhauling everything can we hope for a brighter future." Justin nodded solemnly. “If that's the case, Bella and I will respect Chairman Jenkins's decision. Tonight, I'll also increase security at the press conference to ensure his safety." Later that afternoon, at a nursing hin Savrow, Owen canceled an important meeting with provincial leaders. He drove himself, ran two red lights, and arrived drenched in sweat.
"What happened?! How could my wife try tomit suicide?!" Owen frantically grabbed the nurse's arm, his face drenched in sweat.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"This afternoon, after lunch, Mrs. Hopkins suddenly said she wanted to see her son...' Owen's heart plummeted into an icy abyss. His wife was in her early forties. She had suffered a miscarriage in the second trimester when she was 29 years old. The unborn baby was a boy.
More than ten years had passed, but now, for her to suddenly be hysterical over their lost child, even to the point of attempting suicide, could only mean that her condition had worsened drastically, leading to severe memory loss and confusion. l "A young nurse who didn't know what was going on mentioned that Mrs. Hopkins didn't have a child. Mrs. Hopkins broke down immediately, shoved the nurse aside, and ran out of the room. She even knocked down several elderly people in the hallway... Then she climbed onto the rooftop..." Owen's pupils contracted violently, and his heart felt as if it were being crushed.
"But... Who would have thought that et the Thompson family's heiress woulde out of nowhere in the nick of time? She grabbed Mrs. Hopkins off the rooftop railing. We all watched with our hearts in our throats!" The nurse, recalling Bella's heroic rescue, spoke with admiration, turning what was a tense and heavy moment into one filled with awe and excitement.
Owen's eyes widened in disbelief. "Did you say the Thompson family's heiress?" "Yes! The girlfriend of the Salvador Group's president, the daughter of Hatchbay's richest man, Wyatt Thompson-Ms. Bella Thompson!" The nurse could not praise Bella enough, giving her a thumbs up. “I must say, Ms. Thompson has incredible strength! Even I couldn't have lifted Mrs. Hopkins, but she did it with ease. She must work out regularly and eat well!"
