Chapter 1172
Bella said, “But 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.”
After that, Justin gently held Bella’s shoulders as they left the police
station.
“Dad! Are you letting her leave like that!? She is the culprit behind this trap to destroy Mom!” Bethany yelled anxiously.
Paul could not bear watching her any longer and mocked
sarcastically, “We need evidence to prove Ms. Bella’s words. If you don’t have evidence, please mind your words, or Ms. Bella could sue you for slander.”
Bethany glared at Paul fiercely.
“Captain Thompson, I’d like to meet Chief Collin.” Gregory looked at
Ralph coldly.
“1
Ralph’s 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.”
“Then I’ll have to trouble you to call him now and ask him to meet me
immediately.”
“Sorry, I’m just a low-ranking policeman. I don’t have the authority to order a chief around.”
Ralph yawned and waved his hand. “If you want to look for him, call him yourself.”
His neglectful attitude infuriated Gregory even more.
Gregory knew that Ralph was the son of Wyatt’s second mistress and Bella’s half-brother. He certainly would not treat him nicely. ‘Hmph! A
mistress’s son would never be worthy of my time!’
Bethany continued sobbing, “Dad, Bella is stepping over your head! Must we let that wretched woman manipulate us and let ourselves be at her mercy?!”
“Impossible. It’s impossible!”
Gregory’s expression was stiff as he gritted his teeth. “I 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. It’s no use even if Dad sides with her!”
……
On the way home, Bella leaned against Justin’s chest softly, drawing
circles on his solid chest muscles.
She said, “Don’t offend your father for me anymore.”
“I’m not afraid,” Justin replied hoarsely, lowering his face to kiss her
forehead.
“Chairman 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?” Bella voiced her concern
seriously.
“If Gregory really wants to abandon me, and I’m not the president of the Salvador Corporation anymore, I might need you to support me
financially in the future.” Justin smiled bitterly.
“Are you planning to freeload? The Thompson family doesn’t take in people who don’t work.” Bella raised an eyebrow.
“I can do what’s within my ability. I’m very capable.” His chest muscles tightened, bouncing her fingertips.
