Abstract. There are currently two hints for new physics involving CP

violation in $b\to s$ transitions: $\Delta {\cal S} \equiv {\cal S}_f

- {\cal S}_{J/\psi K} \neq 0$, and difference in direct CP asymmetry

$\Delta {\cal A}_{K\pi} \equiv {\cal A}_{K^+\pi^0} - {\cal

A}_{K^+\pi^-} \neq 0$. We explore the two scenarios with a large and

unique new CP phase in $b\leftrightarrow s$ transitions. Motivated by

$\Delta S \neq 0$, we update on the right-handed strange-beauty

squark $\widetilde{sb}_{\rm 1R}$ at TeV scale. Motivated by $\Delta

{\cal A}_{K\pi} \neq 0$, we explore sequential fourth generation $t'$

and $b'$ quarks. Both scenarios can survive constraints such as SM

level $b\to s\gamma,\ s\ell\ell$ and $B_{\rm s}$ mixing, and predict

sizable CP violation in $B_{\rm s}$ mixing. The fourth generation

picture predicts sizable $K_{\rm L} \to \pi^0\nu\nu$. Direct search

for $\widetilde{sb}_{\rm R}$, $b'$ and $t'$ at hadronic colliders,

such as Tevatron Run II and LHC, can complement further CP violation

studies at these machines, as well as at the future Super $B$

factory.
