Dr. Wagner recognized the stunning face before him. Alarm bells rang in his mind. He instinctively took a step back and asked, "What do you want?"

In Savrow, everyone knew the inseparable bond between Bella and Justin. Having betrayed Justin, Dr. Wagner felt guilty and could not even meet Bella's gaze.

"Dr. Wagner, please get in my car. There are some things I'd like to discuss with you." Bella said with a faint smile, her emotions unreadable.

"I have nothing to say to you," Dr. Wagner replied, fumbling for his keys as he turned to hurry into his home. But just as he reached the door, Bella's calm yet sharp voice rang out. "When you decided to stab Justin in the back, you should've known you weren't just going against him. You were also provoking KS Group, the force behind him. You should've realized it was only a matter of time before I came knocking on your door."

Dr. Wagner, who was facing away from her, trembled visibly.

"Shut up, you bitch! What do you think you're going to do to my dad? How dare you threaten him!" The angry roar came from Dr. Wagner's son, Jerome, who stormed out of the house like a rabid dog.
