The corners of Justin’s stiff lips tugged, and his ink-black eyes fille with bitterness. “Isn’t Christopher byher side? At the very least, she has a band of brothers. Why should go and make her feel better? Am Ithat foolish?”

Anxious for Justin’s situation, lan blurted out, “Mr. Salvador! Your current position in Young Madam’sheart is not favorable! Being foolish is your only way out now! If you don’t act foolishly, Young Madamwon’t come back!”

Before lan finished speaking, Justin shot him a cold glance. lan was so startled that he choked on hissaliva and coughed several times.

“We are divorced. Once broken, a mirror can’t be mended. I have not intention of winning her back.”Justin felt suffocated in his chest. His voice was deep and hoarse, as if he swallowed all the bitternessin the world. “What is mine will not leave me. It’s pointless to chase after what is not mine. I have neverregretted letting her go… Ever.”

Shannon returned to Tideview Manor with a heart full of grievances. From the moment she entered,she burst into tears. She entered the study and clung to Gregory. Tears and snot flowed freely from herface.

“Greg! How can Justin be so heartless? Bethany is his sister! It’s already too much that he’s not helpingher. How can he dismiss Bethany from her position? How will she hold her head up in the companyfrom now on?! He wants to establish a dictatorship in the company. He wants to control everything.After becoming president, he looks down on you more!”

“I gave the order to dismiss her.” Gregory felt irritated and pushed her away slowly. “I made Justindismiss Bethany.” Strangely, in the past, Shannon’s tears had always been effective on him. But now,

seeing her cry made him uncomfortable. He just wanted to replace a quiet place to be alone.

During such moments, he couldn’t help but unconsciously think about. Justin’s mother. She wasinherently a cold and stubborn woman. She had never shed a tear for him, nor had she looked at himwith affection and indulgence like Shannon did.

For most of his life, Gregory’s greatest regret was never truly conquering Justin’s mother. Shannonappeared during that most sensitive period and fulfilled his vanity as a man and his desire to conquer awoman.

If only she had yielded to him back then, would their relationship have reached such a point?

Gregory knew he loved Justin’s mother. Perhaps even more than she loved him.

“Greg… What are you saying?” Shannon lifted her tear-swollen face, and her eyes were filled withastonishment.

“With this matter at hand, how can I support her in holding onto the position? If I forcefully support her,what about my dignity as the chairman? What about the prestige? How will the outside world view theSalvador Corporation?” Gregory’s tone was icy, and he clearly felt unhappy.

Shannon asked tearfully, “Is our child important, or is the chairman’s reputation more important?”

“I am Bethany’s father.” Gregory turned away and pinched the bridge of his nose. “But I am also at thehelm of the Salvador Corporation! You can pamper the child limitlessly, but I cannot disregard the entirecompany!”

“Greg! How can you say such things? Have you grown tired of me?! Don’t you love me anymore?!” In amoment of anger, Shannon asked a foolish question, one that many men replace most repulsive.

“Now Wyatt has made it clear that he will stand by Bella to the end, and we will likely face a legal battle.I am swamped with work right now, and I am in no mood to argue with you about these matters!

Instead of crying and making a scene here, why don’t you focus on disciplining your own daughter!”Filled with resentment, Gregory abruptly stood up, causing Shannon to tumble onto the sofa.

“Do you know how much trouble Bethany has caused over the years? I wiped her bottom when shewas little. Now, she’s 25. Do I still need to clean up her mess?”

Shannon shivered in fear. “Greg…”

“I just don’t understand. Both are my flesh and blood. But why is Mary’s child so reassuring? Over theyears, Justin has managed the company in such an orderly fashion that it has surpassed the Iverson.

Group, which has always been on par with us. His achievements are remarkable! But what about you?What can your children do besides causing trouble for the family? Stop running around recklessly andstay home to reflect on yourself.”

After saying this, Gregory decisively left the room. With a bang, the door was slammed shut. Shannon’seyes were now crimson and filled with angry and sorrowful tears, which rolled down her cheeks.

“Mary?! So, you still can’t forget that damn bitch! Haha… But even if you can’t forget, so what? In theend, she still died in my hands, dead without peace.”

Shannon was crying and laughing at the same time, like a mentally unsound person. She rememberedthe words Justin said to her in the meeting earlier today, and it fueled her anger even more.

“Mary, it’s not enough that you’re dead… I want your most beloved son to be ruined as well!”
