Chapter 451
The charity auction ended amid a dramatic turn of events.
Not only was this evening a historic high in terms of funds raised for any charity event
hosted by Mint magazine, it also played out as a
spectacle for the reporters in attendance due to the series of
shocking revelations.
Gregory immediately dispatched his secretary and lawyer to the
scene after learning of the news. They led Shannon and the stunned Bethany past the
onlookers and into the waiting car. They looked like rats scurrying around.
“Ms. Gordon, I am the legal representative for the Salvador Corporation. Your public
accusation of bribery for the theft of
business information from the KS World Hotel will result in a
defamation lawsuit if you have no concrete evidence. We will get to the bottom of this!”
With those firm words, the lawyer walked away, leaving an unwavering stance behind.
Xena found herself on the verge of a legal battle with the formidable Salvador Corporation.
The looming threat of a lawsuit was enough to send shivers down her spine, but what truly
terrified her was Justin’s overwhelming influence over her fate. He seemed to be capable
of deciding her fate with a single thought.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJustin looked at her, his gaze unwavering and unaffected.
Terrified, Xena exclaimed, “I… I am speaking up because I have proof! Don’t expect me to
be intimidated by wealth and power. I have turned over a new leaf, and I will not be
manipulated into doing things.

against my conscience!”
In a difficult situation, the lawyer hesitantly looked towards Justin, seeking his opinion on
the matter.
Justin remained cold and apathetic, as if he had no ties to the Salvador Corporation. “Go
back and tell Chairman Salvador that Ms. Gordon and the entire KS World Hotel will go
against him.”
‘I will also be against him,’ Justin thought darkly.
Even the lawyer could not shake an uneasy feeling after hearing this. Bella was the
heiress of KS Group. If the situation became more serious, it would not only be an offense
against her, but the entire Thompson family would be involved. Bella’s father and
brothers, as well as the powerful Larson family behind Mila, were not to be
underestimated. It seemed like playing with fire would be an invitation
to disaster.
“Wherever necessary, we should apologize and face the
consequences. Blindly distorting the truth and supporting tyranny will only make the
Salvador family a laughing stock,” Justin said coldly.
He turned around with a cold grin on his face, looking for Bella. Only then did he realize
that she had vanished without a trace. His heart
was filled with a cold sense of abandonment.
As Alice needed to get to other important appointments, Bella walked
her to the underground parking lot.
“Ms. Thompson, you really impressed me tonight,” Alice said as she
hugged Bella softly. “I knew that Asher’s sister wouldn’t let me down.”
Bella said with a modest smile, “That is because you’re seeing me through a filter, as I am
Asher’s sister.”
“No. Your personality, eloquence, thoughts, and character have. impressed me since the
first time we met. I feel we could be great friends,” Alice said sincerely.
“Well, wouldn’t it be great if we could be related?” Bella raised an
eyebrow, teasing her.
Alice sensed the underlying meaning, and her normally serious face. blushed slightly. Her
voice was soft as she said, “Darling, I will be 50 next year. I enjoy Asher’s company, but I

“So what if you’re 50? There’s a 25-year age difference between my
dad and his third wife, and they seem to be having a good time. together,” Bella told Alice
with pride. “Life is short, Alice. Don’t make decisions you will later regret. Don’t be afraid
to go after Asher if you really like him. You shouldn’t leave any regrets in life, even if
things
don’t work out.”
“Alexa.” Alice called Bella by her pseudonym all of a sudden. “Have
you made any decisions in your life that you wish you hadn’t? Any moments of regret?”
There was a faint hint of pain in Bella’s heart, as if a sealed corner
deep inside her had been quietly torn open, revealing a cruel crack.
Even so, she curled her lips slightly and smiled to show that she
understood. “Honestly, I have made decisions I wish I hadn’t. But
now, I have no regrets whatsoever.”
Bella thought to herself, ‘I regretted having married him, but I have no
regrets because I tried my best.”
It sounded contradictory, but it encapsulated her genuine feelings.
Alice got into the car, and Bella watched her leave.
“Alexa!”
