Steven politely saw the lawyer out while Bella quickly picked up the document and read it with Justin. "This is the information about Owen Hopkins I've asked Steven to investigate." Justin's brows raised in surprise. "Bella, you have the sthought I had. I wanted to go after this Owen guy after investigating Southern Star. You're too clever." Unable to resist, he pecked her lips again and again.
"Hmph, if I'm not smart, how could I keep up with you?" Bella pouted playfully and then nuzzled his face. “This is a fierce battle. I can't possibly leave everything to you. I must do my best to share the burden with you." Instantly, Justin's eyes stung, and his heart warmed up.

Mrs. Hopkins has been sick for many years and can't take care of herself now, but Deputy Chief Hopkins still stuck to her side, always doing the dirtiest and most exhausting tasks. They were touched and saddened by it." This information was indeed surprising to Justin and Bella.

"How is Mrs. Hopkins' condition now?" Bella asked while looking through the document.
"Terrible." Steven frowned deeply. "Her Alzheimers' is already at a late stage. Deputy Chief Hopkins has drained his savings to treat his wife and visited all the reputable hospitals in the world, but his effort was in vain. I heard from the caretakers that Mrs. Hopkins can't recognize him now. Sof them have also seen Deputy Chief Hopkins secretly wiping his tears in the corridor." Although it was unrelated to her, Bella still felt ufortable when she heard this.
"So, he secretly worked with Christopher for that unfounded drug." Justin was only gentle toward his lover, always remaining rational and cold to the others. "Even if he wants to save his wife, it is not a justified reason for him to participate in Christopher's dirty business.

"Anyone who gets in the way of the new drug's development must die." Justin narrowed his eyes. "It looks like Mr. Storm's situation is connected to him as well." Bella exchanged a look with Justin, her red lips slightly curled up. "Looks like we'll have to make tto visit Mrs. Hopkins."

To meet Lance, he had deliberately re-bandaged his wound. He could not let anyone make a joke out of him.
Lance glanced at him and sneered. "Aren't you always the one biting others? I didn't think there'd be a day when you'd get bitten by a dog." The smile on Christopher's lips gradually turned cold.
He was undoubtedly calling him a dog.
"What were you up to recently? Do you wantto tell you, or you'll confess yourself?" Lance suppressed his anger and stared at him coldly.
