Justin sat beside Bella, placing the fruit platter in front of her.
“Ian, it’s unusually hot outside. Have some water and fruit first.” Bella pushed the fruit toward Ian.
“Thank you, Young Madam! You’re so kind to me!” Ian said as his eyes welled up with gratitude.
Justin gave him a cold glance. “Eat quickly, then we can get down to business.”
Ian picked up a slice of orange and devoured it. After wiping his mouth with a handkerchief, he sat up straight.
“Yesterday, I followed your orders and informed Director Carter about Mr. Lovett’s arrest with a detailed report. Just this morning, Superintendent Donald got suspended for abusing his power and has been taken away by prosecutors. With his shady background, he’s definitely going to be fired. The Iverson family just lost another loyal ally they could count on.”
“Alright.” Justin nodded indifferently.
These lackeys of the financial conglomerates were always easy to catch once an investigation began.
Bella’s eyes widened as she looked at Justin. “When did you do this?”
It was not the first time Justin pulled off this sort of mysterious operation. He always managed to act stealthily and catch the opponent off guard when they least expected it.
“In the early hours of the morning, after you fell asleep,” Justin replied.
Bella’s eyelashes fluttered as she hugged his arm, feeling warm inside. “You could have waited till this morning.”
“James and Superintendent Donald bullied Steven and made you anxious. If I didn’t deal with him, I would be so angry that I couldn’t sleep.” Justin held her hand, gently stroking her small palm.
