Amelia would only share good news and keep her troubles to herself. Thus, Bella did not know how
she could help her.
“Amelia, are you back in Savrow?” Bella asked with a smile.
“Yes, I’m already at school.”
Amelia paused and asked shyly, “Um… Bella, are you busy today? Do you have plans tonight?”
“Do you want to hang out with me?” Bella saw through her mind.
“Yeah!”
Amelia said, “We haven’t spent much time together since you returned home. If you’re free tonight, can
I treat you to a meal?”
“Just a meal? Don’t you want to go for a drink?” Bella raised her eyebrows.
“In that case, let’s go for karaoke! We haven’t sung a duet in such a long time. I wonder if you can still
sing,” Amelia said in a teasing tone.
“Hahaha! I’m a natural-born singer! Even Mariah Carey can’t compare to me!” Bella cleared her throat
and continued, “It looks like I’ll just have to show you my skills!”

A high-level meeting in the Salvador Corporation ended. Gregory issued three important orders.
The first one was to eliminate the negative impact that the Quarries had on the company as soon as
possible, control public opinion, restore the company’s image, and prevent the stocks from plummeting.
The second order was to remove Zephyr Quarry from all duties within the company. All personnel
related to him must be thoroughly investigated and vetted.
The third order was to put Shannon’s appointment as the deputy chairman of the board of directors on
hold for the time being. Further arrangements would be made after the case was fully investigated.
After the meeting, all the senior executives left the meeting room with sighs, feeling pressured.
“Justin, stay back. I have something to tell you.” Gregory stopped Justin with a solemn look.
Justin, who had already reached the door, turned around with an expressionless face and sat down
gracefully.
The father and son each sat at each end of the conference table. The air around them seemed cold.
“As the president of the company, how do you plan to handle this matter?” Gregory cleared his throat
and asked sternly.
“By the book”
Justin lowered his eyelids and showed no emotion. His thin lips parted slightly. “Aunt Shannon is being
investigated now, so she can only confess to everything she knows and cooperate with the
investigation. There is no other way to solve this.”
“I will find a way to deal with Shannon’s predicament.” Gregory’s chest was tight and stuffy. He felt his
throat burning, and his voice became hoarse.
“Do you think you can help her?”
Justin’s face was dark and still, and his eyes were bottomless. “I have already found out that the
prosecutor who is handling Zephyr’s case is Axel Thompson.”
“Axel Thompson?”
“Wyatt Thompson’s second son and Bella’s second brother.”
Gregory gasped. His eyes trembled.
“From the very beginning, Bella has planned every step forward. But this is also because the Quarrys
gave her this opportunity. Now that things have come to this point, I think that as the chairman of
Salvador Corporation, you should look at the bigger picture. The more pressing matter is to think about
how to deal with the plummeting stocks when the market opens tomorrow morning.”
Justin did not want to talk about Shannon anymore. He moved his body slightly, indicating that he
wanted to end the conversation.
“Wait!”
Gregory leaned forward. His eyes were blazing. “I remember that you had close contact with Dr.
Faraday from Inalia. If we can hire Dr. Faraday as the technical consultant for Salvador Biotech at this
time and get his patent, it will be a huge gain for us. That will save our stocks! Contact Faraday
immediately and try to bring him to Savrow within this week to discuss cooperation in detail.”
Justin frowned and said lightly, “Okay.”
Gregory breathed a sigh of relief. At least Justin was not entirely useless.
“But I have a condition.”
“What?”
“I want to be Salvador Corporation’s deputy chairman.” Justin narrowed his starry eyes and smiled
faintly.
