Chapter 240
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

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

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.
