lan gave Bella a thumbs up. “Young Madam, you’re as sharp as ever!”
Justin grinned, pleased with the way lan addressed Bella.
Bella felt a mix of embarrassment and irritation, but her curiosity
drove her to ask for more. “Keep going!”
“Then I found out that she has a secret account at Regarton Bank.
The exact amount in the account is unclear. However, I managed to
uncover the sum she transferred from that account to Savrow Bank
this time. It was a whopping $200 million!”
“$200 million? Damn, it seems like this old hag has been saving quite
a sum for herself,” Ryan remarked, raising an eyebrow in amusement.
“That’s probably the hush money and escape funds demanded by
Winston,” Justin replied with a cold chuckle, his expression showing
contempt.
“What surprises me even more is how easily Shannon could access such a large sum of money. On top of that, it’s from an account from Regarton Bank!” lan exclaimed, clearly taken aback.
“As far as I know, Shannon has some shares from the Salvador
Corporation and has been receiving dividends over the years. She probably has more than $200 million now. So, it’s plausible,” Bella stated, her brow furrowing in thought as she tapped her chin.
“Shannon may have a substantial amount of money, but every penny is still under Gregory’s control. Her assets in the Salvador family’s account are completely transparent. Gregory’s management of her

finances is a form of control over her. Therefore, the funds in the
Regarton Bank account must be her secret funds. Besides, the source
of these funds is unclear. I’ve always had evidence that Shannon
used Bethany’s boutique to attract influential figures to engage in
bribery and money laundering. However, no matter how hard they try, it would be difficult for them to earn $200 million through that
boutique,” Justin explained.
“If you’ve always had evidence, why didn’t you use it to take them
down?” Bella turned toward him, a tinge of resentment evident in her
expression.
Justin’s eyes darkened as he gently released her hair. His palm
silently settled on her waist instead.
His touch was so gentle that Bella did not notice a thing.
However, their intimate moment left the “third wheels” gaping in
disbelief, their teeth gnashing with envy.
“First of all, targeting a mere boutique wouldn’t cripple Shannon and Bethany. Besides, Gregory would spare no effort to shield them. If I had acted impulsively, it would indirectly harm the Salvador
Corporation, leading to stock fluctuations and immeasurable losses,”
Justin explained.
Bella nodded slowly, understanding his predicament at the time.
Justin was not Gregory’s only son. In fact, to outsiders, he was the illegitimate child who had risen to power. The legitimate heir was
also still in the picture.
Bella knew how difficult it was for Justin to rise to his position as president. She was also aware of the precariousness of his situation

over the years.

If he lost power in the Salvador Corporation, he would be at the mercy of others. And for the sake of his mother, he had to stand his ground.
As he recalled the tragic loss of his mother, Justin was suddenly overwhelmed with profound sorrow, his breath growing heavy. “At that time, I didn’t know that Shannon was the one responsible for my
mother’s death. So, I chose not to expose this matter for the time
being. Bella, you must think that I’m weak and useless, right? I feel
like I’m nothing but a useless fool.”
As these words left Justin’s lips, both Ryan and lan were shocked to
the core, as if struck by lightning.
