Chapter 239
In just a few hours, negative news about the Salvador Corporation spread rapidly, quickly occupying the top spot in the trending
news.
Shannon’s humiliating arrest from the golf course was also posted online, and it spread like wildfire.
A large conglomerate like the Salvador Corporation could put pressure on the media and completely suppress the news.
However, Bella took action first. By the time the Salvadors reacted, it was already too late.
Even if they put pressure on the media, it would be useless.
The major shareholder behind the “Three O’Clock News Channel” was KS Group. Thus, they could broadcast the news of
Shannon’s arrest 24 hours a day, as long as Bella wanted them to. Some talented netizens made some memes of Shannon and
Bethany’s embarrassing moments and posted them online for everyone to download. Their actions were edited and merged into
a zumba dance.
To calm public opinion, Gregory was busy trying to bail Shannon out.
Bella won the first battle and returned to the KS World Hotel happily.
She had a luxurious afternoon tea and sat in the office playing games while video-calling Asher to report on her achievements
that day.
“I have already booked a VIP room in our hotel’s restaurant. Let’s meet with Mayor Solloway the day after tomorrow and aim to
nail down the Baxim project within this week!”
Bella was in great spirits, enjoying her time slashing people in the game.
“Axel is interrogating Shannon. Although your second brother is usually a jokester, he’s quite serious when it comes to work. He
won’t let Shannon go without getting some valuable clues from her.”
In the video call, Asher was sitting in the CEO’s office. He was wearing a suit and leather shoes, looking meticulous. Although he
had a warm smile, he looked naturally intimidating.
“Actually, it’s useless. Shannon will still be released in the end.” Bella was confident.
“Do you want her to be released?” Asher’s tone was doubtful.
“So what if I don’t want to? We may not be able to prove her crimes.”
Bella narrowed her cunning eyes. Her character in the game raised a bloody chainsaw and slashed a zombie. “Shannon has
come to this point not only because Gregory favors her but also because of her smarts and cunning. She and her cousin,
Zephyr, colluded to fill their own pockets. Zephyr was her scapegoat, while she hid in the dark and gave orders, reaping the
benefits without getting her hands dirty. She’s really good at planning.”
Asher nodded thoughtfully. “What you said makes sense. What a pity.”
“It’s not a pity.”
Bella curled her red lips and smiled beautifully. “It doesn’t matter as long as we make a profit.
Besides, I never planned to beat Shannon to death with one move. What I want is for her to lose her position as the deputy
chairman of the board of directors and lose Gregory’s trust. I want Gregory to think that Salvador Corporation lost this project
because of Shannon, causing them to suffer huge losses.”
This would become a thorn between Shannon and Gregory.
Defeating the enemy was pleasurable. Since Bella could not defeat Shannon with one blow, she wanted to make Shannon feel
despair.
In the future, Shannon would probably be as bored sitting in the office as she would be in jail.
“Bella, do you know what I want to do most right now?” Asher leaned forward and asked with
a smile.
“Huh? What?”
“I want to retire immediately to make room for you.”
Asher sighed and clapped his hands. “There is really no one more suitable to be the CEO of KS Group than you.”
At the mention of this, Bella pulled a long face.
The list of blind dates was like a mountain weighing on her head. She felt that even if she died, Wyatt would bury this list with
her.
At this time, Bella received a call from Amelia.
Bella picked up the phone and said with joy, “Ash, let’s talk later. Amelia is calling me.”
“Okay, since Amelia has returned to Savrow, you can meet her more often and take care of her.” Asher gently reminded Bella.
“Yes, I know. She’s the baby of the family, so who else can I give my love to?”
In fact, Bella felt a little guilty about Amelia. Logically speaking, as the youngest child, Amelia should be cared for and loved
more than Bella was at home.
However, the fact was that Bella’s charisma had made her Wyatt’s favorite child since the day she was born. She was also the
apple of his eye, and everyone pampered her.
Bella took away too much of the love that should have belonged to Amelia. Although she did. not mean to do it, she still felt sorry
for Amelia.
Thus, Bella always wanted to compensate Amelia by caring about her as much as possible.
