Chapter 267
Tears streamed down Shannon’s cheeks, she stared at Gregory with pitiful eyes and said,
“I thought I would never see you again. These past few days have been like a living hell
for me! I was so scared, Greg…”
Gregory sympathized with Shannon. He could see that his beloved wife was in distress.
However, with a heap of troubles that accumulated over the past few days, he lacked the
mood to comfort her.
Just then, the television mounted on the wall began broadcasting the news, capturing their
attention.
Much to their surprise, the news showed the signing ceremony of the collaboration
between Asher, president of the KS Group, and the project leaders of the Baxim
development, including Mayor Solloway. In the footage, Asher exchanged contracts with
Mayor Solloway, warmly shaking hands. The flashing cameras below captured this
significant moment.
Justin stared at the screen intently. His grip tightened around the teacup, so much so that
the veins on his forearm were bulging. His usually composed face turned frosty as a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfeeling of anger arose in his heart.
At the same time, Gregory’s expression turned gloomy. He thought, ‘That bratty girl
snatched away a perfectly good project!’
Shannon’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly hugged Gregory’s arm and complained
bitterly.” This time, Bella has crossed the line! What did our family do to offend her? Not
only did she snatch the project, but she also wanted to send me to jail! How can this
woman be so ruthless? Throughout her three years of marriage to Justin, the Salvador
family treated her with kindness. How can she repay kindness with enmity?!”
Upon hearing these accusations, Justin felt an unsettling discomfort. He calmly set down
his teacup and said, “Is having Bella cook for you for the past three years your so-called
kindness?”
Shannon, filled with anger, clenched her teeth. “Bella made that choice voluntarily. No one
forced her!”
“Shannon.” Gregory, who had remained silent throughout the conversation, suddenly said,
” There’s something I need to tell you.” He continued, “The appointment letter has been
issued. From now on, Justin will be the president of the Salvador Corporation and deputy
chairman of the board. That’s final.” Gregory’s words exploded in her ears like thunder.
“Greg… What are you saying? Why…” Shannon asked in shock. Her face turned pale in an
instant.
Gregory pursed his lips and chose to remain silent for a moment.
Justin squinted, understanding the complex bond between them. Gregory found it difficult
to speak on this matter, yet he was willing to shoulder the burden.
Justin interjected, “You’re well aware of the reason, Aunt Shannon. A high-ranking
executive who has just undergone a prosecutor’s investigation, carrying charges of
bribery, abuse of power, and corruption-how could such an individual hold onto a pivotal
role in the company? If this were to be public knowledge, the management of Salvador
Corporation
would become a laughingstock in the business circles of Savrow.”
Shannon shouted, “Bella framed me! She used my cousin’s predicament to take revenge
and set me up!”
Her eyes were bloodshot as she stood up abruptly. Driven by anger and distress, the world
turned dark before her eyes. She exclaimed, “Zephyr orchestrated everything! He has
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmalready confessed to it! It has nothing to do with me! Why can’t I be the deputy chairman
of the board?!”
Justin smirked as he calmly stood up and left the room. He could not be bothered by the
woman before him. Internally, Shannon was madly cursing Justin, ‘Bastard! That heartless
bastard!’
She held on tightly to Gregory’s stiff arm and said, “Gregory! I’m innocent… I was
manipulated by that little bitch, Bella! You promised me that position… How could you
give it to him?”
“Shannon, though I am the chairman of Salvador Corporation, it is a publicly listed
company with shareholders and board members. It’s not solely my decision. In a situation
like this, how can I still support you in taking that position?”
Gregory took a deep breath, forcefully withdrawing his arm from her grip, and said, “Also,
are you truly innocent?”
“Gregory, are you doubting me? I’m your wife! We’ve been married for 25 years… You
know what kind of person I am. How can you believe those rumors and gossip?”
Shannon’s heart skipped a beat, attempting to mask her guilt. Gregory frowned and
looked at her intensely. He said nothing and left.
His gaze struck Shannon like a sharp bolt of lightning, piercing through her soul. She
thought, ‘It’s over. After all the effort and schemes, everything is taken away from me!’
