Chapter 23: Chapter 23

“Justin, have you found out what happened?” Gregory asked with a frown as he comforted his wife.

“I found out. The person who exposed this news is the newly appointed general manager of KS World

Hotel, Bella Thompson.”

Justin lowered his eyelids, deliberately avoiding the loving couple in front of him.

In his memory, Gregory had never shown such tenderness to his mother or to him. Perhaps Gregory

had already forgotten what Justin’s mother looked like.

“The Thompson family from Hatchbay?!”

Shannon covered her mouth and exclaimed, “That’s the richest family in Hatchbay! How could my

sister’s family offend them?!”

“We have never had any interactions with the Thompson family because our forefathers had a deep

grudge against each other. Wyatt Thompson’s great-grandmother swore an oath that no one in the

Thompson family could ever marry a Salvador. Anyone who disobeys this will be disowned by the

Thompson family and will not be allowed to inherit anything.”

Justin did not care about this because the person he wanted to marry was Rosalind, not Bella

Thompson.

However, after hearing what his father said, he felt a slight chill in his heart.

“OMG! The Thompsons must be targeting Gold Corporation so that they can indirectly target us,

especially since Rose will be marrying Justin soon. They are so petty!” Shannon angrily clenched the

silk handkerchief in her hand.

“Justin, you should see Ms. Thompson tomorrow and find a way to stop her from attacking the Golds.

This isn’t just their problem now. It’ll also affect our family’s reputation!” Gregory’s tone was extremely

stern.

“Oh, Greg, don’t be so stern with Justin. He has always been an obedient child.” Shannon massaged

her husband’s shoulder and spoke in a soft voice.

“I’m only saving the Gold family for Rose’s sake. It has nothing to do with anyone else, Aunt Shannon.”

Justin’s charming eyes were deep and cold. After saying that, he turned around and left.

Shannon turned pale with anger.

She was the wife of Salvador Corporation’s chairman, but Justin still called her Aunt Shannon. What an

insult!

“Stop! Why are you still calling her Aunt Shannon? Shannon is know your manners?!” Gregory stood

up and yelled.

my

wife and your mother. Don’t you

Justin stopped, but he did not turn around. “You can have several wives, but I will only have one

mother. So don’t make things difficult for me.”

Asher went to Savrow to see Bella that night. During dinner, they talked about Michael Gordon and the

Gold family.

“Dad already knows your strategy, and he didn’t object. He only said we shouldn’t let them get away

with it if what happened was true and the evidence was conclusive.” Asher helped his sister cut up her

steak.

“Wyatt is such a scumbag when it comes to women, but he’s very capable in other aspects.” Bella ate a

piece of medium-rare steak and squinted her clear eyes while chewing.

“That’s why our three stepmothers are so devoted to him. Apart from being a playboy, Dad is a good

person. He hasn’t mistreated any of his wives.”

“Right. No one will ever know the woes of the dead anyway, since stories are only told by those who

are alive.” Bella lowered her eyelashes and stabbed her fork into the steak.

Asher stared at his sister’s eyes, which were gradually turning red. He stroked the top of her head and

said, “I know that you no longer hate our stepmothers. You just can’t let go of the past, and you still feel

that it’s unfair for our mother. But Bella, have you ever thought that maybe Mom would have stopped

blaming Dad a long time ago?

“How can I not resent him? I’m sure his wives are just putting up with him. No woman will be able to

share her husband with other women…”

Bella’s breath hitched.

She was the same. Even though she knew that Justin had a childhood sweetheart, she still fell head

over heels in love with him and devoted her heart and soul to that man. In the end, she was ruthlessly

abandoned.

Wyatt was a womanizer, but he took care of all his women well. But Justin ignored her for the past

three years. Moreover, he stabbed her in the heart again and again.

She was so blind to have loved this heartless man for 13 years!

“Justin has been quiet these two days. He hasn’t called me.” Asher took a sip of red wine.

“Oh, that’s because he’s busy cleaning up the mess of his sweetheart’s family. How would he have

time for me?”

Bella shook the wine glass leisurely. Her bright eyes were oppressive.

“Anna Brown is too weak. Now, it’s time for him to meet Bella Thompson!”
