The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge (Anna and Justin) novel Chapter 236

Chapter 236 

Shannon said, “Ms. Thompson, you said you wanted to discuss a collaboration, but you just rushed over alone without an appointment. You disregarded formalities just to meet Mayor Solloway. This is too much. It’s insincere and rude.” 

“That’s right!” Bethany muttered. 

“Oh, I know I came unannounced, but I can’t help it. I’m afraid if I come any later, it’ll be a step too late for Mayor Solloway, and he may regret his decision.” Bella let out a long, helpless sigh. 

“Regret? What do you mean by that?” Shannon asked sternly. 

Bella ignored her completely and only spoke to the mayor. “Mayor Solloway, are you really not considering collaborating with KS Group? Is it because I am a woman and, therefore, you think I have no power or status within the corporation? My visit today is at the behest of my older brother, Asher, who is the CEO of KS Group. He has left this matter of importance entirely to me. If you don’t believe it, I can immediately arrange for him to meet with you.” 

“Ms. Thompson, it’s not that I don’t believe you. It’s just that Gregory and I have known each other for a long time. We have worked together many times before, so it’s easy to trust Salvador Corporation. Besides, this project is in Savrow, and Salvador Corporation is a well- known conglomerate here, so…” Mayor Solloway tried to reject Bella politely. “We will cooperate another time.” 

At this moment, a look of pride appeared on Gregory and Shannon’s faces. 

It was laughable that this immature and inexperienced girl brazenly came over to discuss collaboration and tried to snatch Salvador Corporation’s project. 

“Alright… I know having a pre-established relationship puts you in an awkward position. I dare not speak of other things, but if I may add, by cooperating with KS Group, one thing is for sure.” 

Bella smiled deviously and added, “You won’t regret it.” 

Suddenly, Justin felt his heart tremble. 

This expression, this tone, this look-Justin knew that she was going to cause trouble! 

“Ms. Thompson, what do you mean by this? Why does it sound like you are insinuating that it’s trouble or bad luck to cooperate with Salvador Corporation?” Shannon scowled. 

“Steven, what time is it?” Bella asked confusedly. 

“Miss, it’s 3:00 p.m.,” Steven replied. 

“Well, take out your phone. Please show Mayor Solloway the three o’clock news.” 

“Yes, Miss.” 

Steven took out his mobile and played the broadcast aloud. 

“Welcome to the ‘Three O’clock News’. In today’s headline, Zephyr Quarry, deputy general manager of Salvador Corporation, was prosecuted by the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Savrow at 1:00 pm today on suspicion of bribery. The reason he was taken away was that he was 

involved in W Group’s IT equipment bidding and illegal bidding operations for Salvador Corporation’s projects, thereby seeking improper benefits. It is understood that Zephyr Quarry is the cousin of Shannon Quarry, wife of the Salvador Corporation’s chairman. Zephyr Quarry has cooperated with Shannon Quarry on many projects before. The prosecutors are still investigating how many people are involved in this case. Our news channel will continue to pay close attention to further developments of this case… 

Gregory’s face turned pale with shock while Shannon staggered in her steps. Her eyes turned 

dark. 

“Mom! What the hell is going on?! Why is your cousin suddenly arrested?!” Bethany spoke in a panic. 

Justin stared at Bella’s leisurely face and raised his eyebrows. 

Shannon’s cousin was taken away two hours ago, but the news has not leaked until now. 

Come to think of it, Bella’s second brother, Axel the prosecutor, must have contributed a lot to keeping this under wraps. 

“Shannon… What’s going on?” Gregory questioned Shannon in a low voice and with a look of shock.
