Chapter 311

Back in the president’s office of the Salvador Corporation, Justin leaned back in his leather chair afterwrapping up a high-level meeting, weariness evident in his eyes.

The buzz surrounding the matter between Rosalind and him had spread like wildfire within thecompany. Surprisingly, within the vast expanse of the Salvador Corporation’s skyscraper, not a singlesoul dared to utter a word of gossip about Justin.

Unless, of course, they were willing to face the consequences, which could potentially lead to theirdemise.

Having earned the promotion to deputy chairman of the board, Justin transformed into a truepowerhouse, commanding unparalleled authority. However, despite his prestigious status, a profoundsense of heaviness weighed on Justin, devoid of any satisfaction.

“I never expected Shannon to resolve the financial issues with Gold Corporation. It seems she’s beenpocketing a significant amount of money. At least now, she’ll have to spit it back out.” Ian feltimmensely satisfied to see Shannon take a loss.

Still contemplating the situation, Justin responded, “Shannon built her wealth with Zephyr’s help. Evenwith Zephyr in prison, she still manages to accumulate a substantial sum. It implies there’s anothersource for her income.”

Ian’s skepticism grew evident as he leaned forward, questioning, “Could the EV boutique be one ofthem? Could that mediocre boutique have such massive money-attracting power? It’s just bags andclothes. How can it generate such significant profits?”

“After all these years working for me, how can you be so naive?” Justin’s eyebrows furrowed.

With a casual flick of his hand, Justin tossed a neatly folded paper airplane accurately toward Ian’schest. “That boutique is just a facade for the extensive underground network in Savrow that Shannonhas meticulously built over the years. While openly dealing in luxury goods, behind the scenes, she’sinvolved in bribery and shady dealings.”

Ian shivered. “We really underestimated this old witch!”

“I have never underestimated her. We should never underestimate our enemies.”

Justin rubbed the bridge of his nose, his lips curling into a cold expression. “Dealing with Shannon is noovernight task. She has deep roots in Savrow, and with Gregory protecting her, it’s not the right time tomake a move. We still lack sufficient evidence and the right opportunity. If you play with fire, you’rebound to get burned. The time will come.”

Ian nodded with resentment. “Exactly! Sooner or later, we’ll spill that old witch’s blood as an offering tothe heavens!”

Justin changed the subject with indifference. “How’s the progress on Ada Wang’s project?”

“The wedding planning proposal from our team has been revised, and we’re ready to meet with AdaWang’s team at any time,” Ian reported.

Ian hesitated briefly befofe cautiously suggesting, “Mr. Salvador, didn’t you mention compensating theyoung madam? This might be an opportunity to make amends. What if we hand over the weddingplanning rights to the KS World Hotel? I think she would appreciate it

})

Justin interrupted, “Why should I give it to KS World Hotel?”

Justin’s face was composed as he looked at Ian. “I owe Bella, not KS Group. Why would I give theopportunity to the Thompson family?”

Ian was left speechless. “Truly, what kind of logic is this?’

“She once mentioned that in business, we must give our absolute best to compete with her. If I slack offnow, wouldn’t that be looking down on her?”

Justin lowered his gaze again, maintaining a cool demeanor as he added, “Just prepare as you should.In the business world, I won’t compromise my standards or principles for anyone or anything. I’m notChristopher Iverson.”

Ian was puzzled. He felt like there was a subtle hint of jealousy in his boss’s words.

At that moment, the phone on the table vibrated. Ryan’s call came through.

“What is it?” Justin answered the call with a neutral expression.

Ryan’s voice on the other end was full of excitement. “Justin, I’ve got VIP tickets for the concert of therenowned pianist Christian. Let’s go together!”

“You’re going to a piano recital? When did a donkey like you start appreciating music?” Justin teasedwithout holding back.

“Tsk, if I can understand what you say, why wouldn’t I appreciate a piano recital?” Ryan, used toJustin’s banter over the years, took it in stride and added a touch of self-mockery. “Come on, I’ll swingby your office to pick you up in a while.”

“I’m not interested.”

“Why? Are you still sulking over Rosalind? After being cheated on for so many years, you can’t getused to not having her around, huh?” Ryan seized the opportunity to tease him back.

Justin, looking disdainful, furrowed his brows. “Don’t associate Rosalind with me anymore. It disgustsme! I’m hanging up.”

“Wait, just a minute!”

Ryan struggled with the task of dealing with this stubborn mule, forcing him to reveal the truth. “Zoe hasreturned from studying in Inalia. She is Christian’s proud protege and will be performing as a guest ather concert tonight. I wanted to surprise you, but you just had to spoil it. I thought it’d be more romanticthat way, but I guess you’re allergic to romance!”
