The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge (Anna and Justin) novel Chapter 2136

As soon as Attorney Lyles got into the car, Justin greeted him with a refined and elegant smile. He extended his hand to him first.

“Hello, Attorney Lyles.”

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Salvador.”

Attorney Lyles shook hands with the man. The powerful, steady aura that surrounded Justin immediately eased his tension.

“Mr. Salvador, if I may speak frankly, I’m the Iverson Group’s attorney. Isn’t it a little inappropriate to meet you in private like this?” Attorney Lyles stated directly, testing the waters.

“Although we’re on opposite sides, and I have a deep, lifelong grudge against Christopher, I’ve always believed in dealing with grudges directly without involving the innocent or those caught in the middle.”

Justin’s expression remained poised, his tone carrying a deeper meaning. “Besides, I’ve always felt that you and I are not enemies. Perhaps we’re just friends standing on different sides.”

“Friends…” Attorney Lyles’ eyes warmed, almost unable to believe what he was hearing.

“And since you’ve risked your life to meet with me, I believe you already see me as an ally in your heart. Am I right?” Justin’s voice was gentle, and his words were spot on.

Just as Justin finished his sentence, Attorney Lyles, a top attorney and a man in his fifties, broke down in tears in front of the younger Justin, his voice full of anguish.

“Mr. Salvador, I can’t take it anymore. I don’t want to stay by Christopher’s side for another day... People aren’t treated like humans before him. They’re treated like animals, like mere creatures! Back then, when I served Chairman Lance Iverson, though he had flaws, he was considerate and took good care of my family. But after his death, Christopher has been secretly watching my wife and son all year. If I ever harbor any disloyalty, my family’s lives will be at risk! He knows how loyal I was to Chairman Lance, and to control me, he only uses the safety of my loved ones as leverage. It’s a tactic that’s never failed him. He’s despicable and wicked!”

Upon hearing Attorney Lyles’ accusations, Justin furrowed his brows, while Ian, standing beside him, sighed in frustration.

“The Iverson Group is merely a cover for Christopher’s dirty businesses. Behind the scenes, he’s involved in smuggling and drug trafficking... There’s no crime he hasn’t committed. He’s a lawless fiend! He even… He even forced me to alter Chairman Lance’s will!”

Justin’s eyes darkened. “What happened?”

"Chairman Lance knew his health was declining, so he had me act as a notary and make his will in my presence. He didn’t leave Christopher a single penny, whether it was the management rights to the Iverson Group or the family’s wealth.”

Attorney Lyles continued angrily, “Christopher seized it all by force. He usurped what wasn’t his!”

Justin’s sharp eyes narrowed slightly. “Attorney Lyles, may I ask you a question?”
