NovelStartDays of worry had pushed Amelia to the brink of a breakdown, her voice breaking as she sobbed uncontrollably. “Mom and | have
tried everything... The Lovetts have looked for help too, but we haven't been able to free Steve...”
“What?! Why are you only tellingthis now?!” Overwhelmed by anger, Bella's voice grew raspy.
“Bella, don’t get worked up. Don’t scare your sister.” Justin gently squeezed her hand, his voice calming as he soothed her
fluctuating emotions. “Ask your sister to slow down and explain everything.”
Bella sighed with guilt. “I'm sorry, Amelia... | was too harsh just now. Don’t cry. Just telleverything. | want to know which
bastard dares to mess with Steve! I'll make sure they regret it.”
Despite the serious nature of the conversation, Justin could not help but suppress a laugh at her fiery words.
“It was the Iversons...” Amelia sniffed intermittently. “I think... The Iversons were upset because Charles got beaten for bullying
me, so they targeted Steve... He got arrested for assault, and not only that... That jerk Charles had a medical evaluation done,
attributing all his injuries, both major and minor, to Steve... Now the police are charging him for inflicting grievous bodily harm...”
This list of injuries included Charles’ impotence as well.
With the Iversons’ resources, tampering with a medical report or even fabricating one was no challenge at all.

the Iversons dare to turn this around on us?!” Bella was uncontrollably furious, her eyes red with rage as she seethed with a desire
for vengeance.
Amelia responded, “The Iversons aren't going to settle this privately...”
“Pfft, settle it privately? That's impossible. They'd rather see Steve dead!”
Bella rubbed her throbbing temples, feeling a sharp pain in her chest from anger. “The ones capable of such actions must be James
and possibly Hunter.”
“Hunter? But Hunter is Steve's older brother. Why would he?!” Amelia was shocked, finding it hard to believe.
“It's very likely.”
Justin gently patted the distressed woman's back, his eyes cold and deep like a dark pool. “Hunter is considered a top lawyer in
Savrow, yet he has done nothing after his brother got into trouble for so long. Don’t you find that strange? Given what you've
shared about the strained relationship between Hunter and Steve, he’s using the incident with Charles to sabotage his brother. You
know what his motives likely are.”
“But Steve is his brother... How can he do this to him?!” Amelia exclaimed in outrage.
“Hunter is only after fand wealth. He lacks any real sense of familial love or humanity!”
Bella punched the car window suddenly, shocking both lan, who was driving, and Justin. They immediately worried about her hand.
“I was the one who sorted out Charles. Yet, these cowards went after Steve. Aren't they just picking on the vulnerable?”
“Bella, you have me, too.” Justin quickly took her swollen fist into his hands, slowly rubbing it.
“Besides, knowing Steve, he wouldn't want to burden me. He'd likely take it all on himself.”
Bella was overwhelmed with remorse, her voice breaking. “I've been so reckless, focusing only on revenge and reveling in it. |
forgot that my actions could endanger those aroundat any time. How could | be so careless?!”
Previously, she had always been strategic, thinking many steps ahead in everything she did.
But since falling in love, she has been basking in the bliss of romance, surrounded by happiness, unaware of potential dangers
lurking around her.
“Bella, don’t be so hard on yourself... What happened to Steve wasn’t because of you.” Amelia quickly reassured her.
Justin took Bella's trembling hand and brought the phone to his ear. “Don’t worry, Amelia. Leave this matter to me. By tomorrow,
I'll send Steve back to you, completely unharmed.”
