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.

Justin 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 shouldn’t hold him back.”

“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!”
