"I don't mind everything else. But when Bella said that I never knew what her mother wanted, it really broke my heart." Wyatt slowly closed his eyes, his lashes tainted with tears under the city's neon lights.

"Apart from me, who else would understand Yara?"

"Chairman Thompson, Ms. Bella is still young and spirited. She did not experience the past, nor did she know about it."

Quentin let out a long sigh. "If she had the chance to know everything about Madam, she would come to understand your painstaking efforts."

After sending Wyatt away, Yasmin brought Carrie to rest upstairs while Bella, Justin, and Ralph sat in the living room to discuss serious matters. "Bella, I swear to God, I didn't snitch on you!" Ralph swore, raising his fingers.

"I know. You guys are not such despicable people. Even Declan, who bears the most hostility toward Justin, would never stoop so low to use Wyatt to pressure us." Bella trusted her family unconditionally. "You've lived here for the past few days. Wyatt would have come earlier if he had heard the news. It means someone leaked your information to Wyatt. They can't stand seeing you happy!" Ralph rubbed his chin, feeling puzzled. "Who could it be?"

"It must be that snake." Bella said out of instinct, "I was bored out of my mind and asked Justin to go out with me on a walk. Savrow is full of Christopher's spies. His men could have noticed our whereabouts and followed us. It's possible that he snitched on us to make himself relevant to Wyatt."

Bella suspected Christopher because she viewed him as a demon.

"Damn, does he have nothing else to do? Why is he so shameless?" Ralph tutted and shook his head disdainfully.

"It doesn't matter. If he wants to play with these dirty tricks, let him be. Anyway, Justin and I are immune to it." Bella raised her beautiful face at Justin.

Justin's eyes were laced with tenderness and affection. He kissed her lips as if nobody else were around.

Bella never needed to ask for a kiss. He was always proactive.

"Fuck... Can we get down to business quickly? I still have to go back to the station."

Ralph turned his head away, looking a little disgusted. "You guys are cheesier than the cheese I ate last night!"

Returning to the topic, Justin opened the file Ralph brought, reading through the documents carefully with Bella.

"Shannon's case will go on public trial soon. This document contains the information I collected with Axel, including some details the judge might ask. Take a look if there's anything else to add." Ralph's expression turned serious. "We only have one chance. We must grasp it so as not to give Shannon and the Salvador Corporation any time to breathe."

Justin's gaze was burning, and he held the document tightly, the feather-light paper feeling like a heavy stone in his hands.

Finally, the day when dawn would break was approaching.

"Ralph, thank you. Axel too."

Bella gripped Justin's hand, looking at Ralph with gratitude. "But your assistance can stop here regarding Shannon's case. It's already against the rules for you to bring this information out for us. And it's enough. Justin and I will follow up with the rest. You and Axel don't need to worry about it anymore."

Ralph pursed his lips in thought and then nodded. "Good luck."

"Thanks." Justin's thin lips curled.

It was getting late, so Ralph insisted that they did not need to see him out and got up, walking toward the entrance.

Just as he wanted to open the door, someone pushed the door open first.

A cold gust of wind brushed past him, and the man who appeared was none other than Ryan, who rushed back.

Seeing Ralph, Ryan was stunned.

What was going on? Why was Ralph at his house?!

Ralph looked indifferent. "Please excuse me."

His casual attitude made Ryan inexplicably pissed.

Therefore, he raised his brows and sized up Ralph with a mocking gaze, a subtle hostility radiating from him. "Oh, who is this? Isn't this the handsome little guy on TV?"

"I'm the one on TV, and who might you be?" Ralph tilted his head, refusing to back down in the slightest. "The territorial and protective Ryan?"
