Chapter 784
Shannon knew the assailant?
The room was silent. Everyone, including Gregory and the Hoffmans, stared at Shannon in
disbelief, stunned by the news.
However, there was one person who remained as composed as Bella, and that was Justin.
From the moment Bella began to suspect
Shannon, Justin also harbored doubts about the latter.
He had planned to investigate at the time, but he suffered a severe head injury and
underwent life-threatening brain surgery. After that, the scandal between him and Zoe
also caused chaos and interrupted
his plans.
Earlier, Justin had intervened when Bella wanted to confront Shannon
alone. He pulled her upstairs, wanting to stop her from stirring
trouble. If Shannon dared to attack Madam Celeste in public, she was

He didn’t want to get Bella’s hands dirty. He wanted to help her seek justice, even if it
meant that he had to do the dirty work.
Justin had to admit that he was angry and frustrated at Bella’s lack of trust in him. But
despite all that, he couldn’t deny that he loved her with all his heart. He was willing to go
to the extremes for this love. He no longer cared for the consequences and only craved for
her to be the center of his universe.
Gregory asked anxiously, “Shannon, is Ms. Thompson saying the truth? Do you know the
assailant?”
“Greg, are you seriously doubting me too? Ms. Thompson shows up out of nowhere and
interrogates me. Are you going to join her to Shannon widened her eyes and clutched her
chest. Her eyes were filled with sorrow and grievance.
Her reaction seemed overly dramatic, as if straight out of a soap
opera.
Meanwhile, Bethany, who had just sobered up after a night of drinking in her room,
stumbled out of the room. She had overheard every word her father had asked Shannon,
and she was shocked.
‘What’s happening? With a few questions from Bella, why is Dad suddenly suspicious of
Mom?”
In her memory, Gregory had always been protective of Shannon. Even when Shannon
argued with Nigel, Gregory had always stood by her side, ready to defend her at all times.
“Don’t overthink it. I didn’t mean to doubt you,” Gregory said, frowning
and clenching his fist tightly.
“Of course not! How could I possibly know someone like that?” Shannon’s temples
glistened with sweat. She looked at Bella with resentment. “Bella, I know you hold a
grudge against me, and we’ve had our disagreements before. But I’ve moved on! Now
that your family is in trouble, you’re coming after me? I’m not some scapegoat for your
family’s problems. Why should you come to me for answers?

Bella smiled casually and said, “Mrs. Salvador, are you feeling guilty? I
only asked if you knew him, nothing more. Why are you getting so
defensive? Do you have something to hide?”

“Bella!” Shannon’s eyes were almost popping out of anger. “I am showing you respect for
the sake of Chairman Thompson, but d push it!”
“What the hell?” Ryan’s eyes turned red with anger. If it weren’t for the elders present, he
would have rushed up and slapped Shannon
himself.
“Shannon, if you truly consider yourself the matriarch of the Salvador family, you should
watch the tone of your voice.” Justin chided, his
fist clenched.
Shannon thought, ‘This imbecile is just simping for Bella!’
