Chapter 236

Shannon said, “Ms. Thompson, you said you wanted to discuss a collaboration, but you

just rushed over alone without an appointment. You disregarded formalities just to meet

Mayor Solloway. This is too much. It’s insincere and rude.”

“That’s right!” Bethany muttered.

“Oh, I know I came unannounced, but I can’t help it. I’m afraid if I come any later, it’ll be a

step too late for Mayor Solloway, and he may regret his decision.” Bella let out a long,

helpless sigh.

“Regret? What do you mean by that?” Shannon asked sternly.

Bella ignored her completely and only spoke to the mayor. “Mayor Solloway, are you really

not considering collaborating with KS Group? Is it because I am a woman and, therefore,

you think I have no power or status within the corporation? My visit today is at the behest

of my older brother, Asher, who is the CEO of KS Group. He has left this matter of

importance entirely to me. If you don’t believe it, I can immediately arrange for him to

meet with you.”

“Ms. Thompson, it’s not that I don’t believe you. It’s just that Gregory and I have known

each other for a long time. We have worked together many times before, so it’s easy to

trust Salvador Corporation. Besides, this project is in Savrow, and Salvador Corporation is

a well- known conglomerate here, so…” Mayor Solloway tried to reject Bella politely. “We

will cooperate another time.”

At this moment, a look of pride appeared on Gregory and Shannon’s faces.

It was laughable that this immature and inexperienced girl brazenly came over to discuss

collaboration and tried to snatch Salvador Corporation’s project.

“Alright… I know having a pre-established relationship puts you in an awkward position. I

dare not speak of other things, but if I may add, by cooperating with KS Group, one thing

is for sure.”

Bella smiled deviously and added, “You won’t regret it.”

Suddenly, Justin felt his heart tremble.

This expression, this tone, this look-Justin knew that she was going to cause trouble!

“Ms. Thompson, what do you mean by this? Why does it sound like you are insinuating

that it’s trouble or bad luck to cooperate with Salvador Corporation?” Shannon scowled.

“Steven, what time is it?” Bella asked confusedly.

“Miss, it’s 3:00 p.m.,” Steven replied.

“Well, take out your phone. Please show Mayor Solloway the three o’clock news.”

“Yes, Miss.”

Steven took out his mobile and played the broadcast aloud.

“Welcome to the ‘Three O’clock News’. In today’s headline, Zephyr Quarry, deputy general

manager of Salvador Corporation, was prosecuted by the Public Prosecutor’s Office of

Savrow at 1:00 pm today on suspicion of bribery. The reason he was taken away was that

he was

involved in W Group’s IT equipment bidding and illegal bidding operations for Salvador

Corporation’s projects, thereby seeking improper benefits. It is understood that Zephyr

Quarry is the cousin of Shannon Quarry, wife of the Salvador Corporation’s chairman.

Zephyr Quarry has cooperated with Shannon Quarry on many projects before. The

prosecutors are still investigating how many people are involved in this case. Our news

channel will continue to pay close attention to further developments of this case…

Gregory’s face turned pale with shock while Shannon staggered in her steps. Her eyes

turned

dark.

“Mom! What the hell is going on?! Why is your cousin suddenly arrested?!” Bethany spoke

in a panic.

Justin stared at Bella’s leisurely face and raised his eyebrows.

Shannon’s cousin was taken away two hours ago, but the news has not leaked until now.

Come to think of it, Bella’s second brother, Axel the prosecutor, must have contributed a

lot to keeping this under wraps.

“Shannon… What’s going on?” Gregory questioned Shannon in a low voice and with a look

of shock.

“I… I don’t know! I really have no idea. Mayor Solloway, Mrs. Solloway, there must be a

misunderstanding! This is all fake news! You can’t believe it!” Shannon did not expect this

incident to blow up so quickly and was left with no other choice but to resort to crocodile

tears and innocent cries to overshadow the incident.

However, Mayor Solloway’s and his wife’s expressions turned gloomy.

Mrs. Solloway said sternly, “Mrs. Salvador, is it true that Zephyr is your cousin? The news

also said that you were also involved in his previous projects involving bribery. Is that

true?”

“But… I really don’t know anything!” Apart from pretending to be confused, Shannon was

at her wit’s end.

Just then, there was a commotion on the golf course.

A group of men with badges on their chests and suits walked up to them in a hurry.

They were from the prosecutor’s office.

“Ms. Shannon, your cousin is suspected of multiple commercial crimes. Please come back

with us to assist in the investigation.”
