"Bella... Do you really have a way?" Nigel's clouded eyes finally revealed a glimmer of hope.

Bella hesitated briefly before speaking softly, "Grandpa Nigel, this method is no trivial matter. It could even affect the Salvador Corporation's equity structure and impact your interests and Chairman Salvador's as well."

Hearing this, Nigel immediately understood. "Bella, are you saying..."

"To be honest, over the past couple of days, I've taken advantage of the Salvador Corporation's stock decline to acquire a small portion of shares. I now hold a minor stake in the company."

She continued. "I was wondering if you might consider transferring a portion of your shares to me. This would allow me to become one of the major shareholders and gain a position on the board of directors. With your shares, mine, and Justin's combined, the three of us could stand against Chairman Salvador and Grant. This would prevent Grant from monopolizing power."

Bella furrowed her brows, quickly weighing the pros and cons. "Right now, Chairman Salvador clearly favors Grant. Even if he doesn't transfer his shares to him, as long as he continues to support him unconditionally, the group's future development and even its survival-will remain under Grant's control."

Fearing that Nigel might overthink, she quickly added, "But, Grandpa Nigel, this is just a suggestion. After all, I'm an outsider, and transferring Salvador Corporation shares is no small matter. You should think it over carefully before deciding."

"Let's do as you said!" Nigel's eyes gleamed brightly as he struggled to sit up.

Bella hurriedly supported him.

"Bella... You are not an outsider. You are my granddaughter-in-law. No! You are my family, part of this household, forever!"

Bella's lips tightened as a blush crept over her delicate face.

"To be honest, I've already been considering this for some time. I just never found the right opportunity." Nigel held her hand tightly, his eyes brimming with tears. "The Salvador Corporation is facing turbulent times. Bella... You must help me and Justin. Ensure that the Salvador Corporation overcomes this crisis. It must not..."

Bella's gaze sharpened. "It must not fall into Grant's hands, right?"

Tears filled Nigel's eyes as he nodded emphatically. "Twenty years ago... I made a mistake. I wronged Maya and her family. I aided the wicked, so I cannot repeat the same mistake this time."

After helping Nigel calm down, Bella spoke resolutely. "Grandpa Nigel, until the matter of the share transfer is finalized, no one other than Uncle Matt can know about this. Both

Chairman Salvador and Grant are likely to come by soon. I must leave before they arrive. Don't let them know I've been here.

"Grant is far more capable than you imagine. He is deeply calculating and ruthless. If he discovers this secret, he will stop at nothing to prevent you from transferring your shares to me."

Nigel nodded repeatedly, though he still asked worriedly, "Bella, tell me... Did Justin really get involved with drugs?"

"No, Grandpa Nigel." Bella answered with unwavering conviction. "I believe Justin would never do something like that. He's been framed."

"With your assurance, I can rest easy. But Justin is still being held at the police station. What can we do to help him?"

Bella's eyes gleamed with determination. "Grandpa Nigel, from now on, just focus on recovering. No matter what Grant does, don't meet with him or try to stop him. Leave the rest to me."

After being detained for 72 hours, Justin was released on bail early in the morning.

Outside the police station, a crowd of reporters surrounded him, their cameras aimed at Justin's pale yet stern face.

With Ian, Clarence, and a group of bodyguards shielding him, Justin managed to board the car and leave the reporters behind.

"If any new witnesses or evidence emerge, you will need to return to the station. Otherwise, there's no need to go back," Clarence sighed, his voice filled with guilt. "I'm truly sorry, Mr. Salvador. I failed as your lawyer and couldn't clear your name completely."

"No, you've done well." Justin's sharp eyes narrowed slightly. His cold and unyielding face softened into a faint, almost imperceptible smile. "You're not just a lawyer. You're Steven's brother. From now on, don't call me Mr. Salvador. Just call me Justin."

Ian glanced at the rearview mirror in shock.

In that moment, he felt as if the Justin he knew had returned-a fleeting glimpse of warmth and humanity amidst the usual cold detachment.

"Steven is my brother, but he is his own person, as am I. As your lawyer, it's more appropriate for me to continue addressing you as Mr. Salvador," Clarence replied tactfully, declining the suggestion with a polite smile.
