“Justin, you still have the appetite for food? If | were you, | couldn't even take a bite.”
Axel drank the iced water in his cup in one go, then slammed it on the table heavily. “Shannon’s case will officially go on public trial
next Friday.”
Upon mentioning Shannon, who had not appeared for a long time, everyone's expressions fell.
“] know. | counted the days.”
Justin's brows furrowed slightly, his voice tight and hoarse, trying to suppress the pain that felt like a blunt knife cutting into his
heart. “There isn’t one day that | have forgotten how my mother died, nor have | forgotten to avenge my mother and those
innocent lives taken by Shannon.”
Bella's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes shone with glistening tears. She slowly extended her warm hands under the table,
holding Justin's trembling palms tightly.
As if he had gotten hold of the only beam of light in the night sky, Justin immediately intertwined their fingers, deeply staring into
her clear eyes.
“Tsk, | was curious and asked around about Shannon's situation in jail a few days ago. She's adjusted quite well inside, getting
special treatment with her identity as a business tycoon’s wife. She even has followers. It seems she’s living a great life. | heard
she’s getting the highest level of food and skincare products, even cigarettes.”
Ralph's teeth clenched as he sneered. “It looks like your father has not completely given up on Shannon, and he’s still protecting
her dignity. He probably intends to bail her out.”
“Ha, food and skincare products? She can have that.” Bella raised an eyebrow. “Just make sure to take away her diapers.”
“Gregory is not my father.” Justin's eyes were bloodshot. “From the moment my mother took her last breath, he ceased to be my
father.”
“Justin...” Bella's breath hitched in her chest.

However, even so, Justin felt ashamed to stand before his mother’s grave as long as Shannon was still alive.
“Justin, what do you mean by that? You aren’t thinking of giving up on the Salvador Corporation and relying on our family, right?”
Axel blurted out.
Axel sized him up, frowning. “My sister hasn't enjoyed a single good day being with you. Do you still want her to start from scratch
with you?”
Ralph was also displeased. “Exactly. If you want to marry our sister, how can we agree to it without a billion-dollar dowry? We don’t
mind living in poverty, but we won't let our sister suffer!”

Bella was speechless.
Her brothers were expert troublemakers. She did not even need a DNA test to confirm that they were definitely Wyatt's flesh and
blood.

“You haven't experienced the struggles to survive in his family, so don't talk as if you do.” Bella's sharp gaze swept across Ryan's
face. “Did you even hear yourself? Christopher loves to prey on his brothers. Should | ask Justin to use you as practice?”
Ryan immediately shut up, feeling a lingering fear.
