âJustin! Youâre taking advantage of the situation!â Gregory looked shocked as he slammed the table
and stood up.
âWe have to settle the score, Dad. Isnât this what you taught me since I was a child?â Justin looked
calm and leaned back in his chair slowly.
âYou are so greedy! You already have a fair share. I even let you become president, which should have
belonged to your eldest brother. Yet here you are asking to be the deputy chairman of the board! Why
donât you just ask me to step down as chairman?!â Gregory scolded angrily.
Justin curled his thin lips into a faint sneer. His dark eyes were unreadable. âThink about it carefully. Do
I get more from you, or do you get more from me? Since I was a child, you have put a price on
everything that I got. You clearly know why I am the president of Salvador Corporation, so why do you
paint me as a ruthless invader? Weâre alone here. Donât you feel tired from acting?â
Gregoryâs face turned red. He was rendered speechless.
âThe position of deputy chairman in exchange for Salvador Corporation surviving a serious business
crisis smoothly. You can decide whatâs best.â Justin stood up and walked to the door.
Suddenly, Justin stopped and added, âOf course, you can also continue to support Shannon against all
objections. That is, if you donât feel embarrassed.â
Justin clenched his fists and went back to the office, slamming his door shut.
He felt relieved of a burden. He took a deep breath, stretched out his hand, and tugged at his
restraining Windsor knot.
It had been a long time since Justin felt this happy.
When Justin saw how Gregory worked hard and racked his brains for Shannon yet was still unable to
do anything about the situation, Justin just felt so rejuvenated and thrilled.
However, Justin had to admit that he could only achieve the current results with Bellaâs help.
Originally, Justin only wanted to stop Shannon from becoming the deputy chairman of the board. He
did not expect to make such a big fuss because it would affect Salvador Corporationâs stock price and
affect everyone. Thus, he could not take the risk.
However, Bella had always liked to use earth-shattering means. She probably did not expect that such
a move would have the miraculous effect of not only suppressing Shannon, but also giving Justin the
opportunity to bargain with Gregory. Thus completely eliminating Shannonâs idea of checking on Justin
in the

company.
However, when Justin thought of Bellaâs harsh words that hurt his self-esteem and her cold and
heartless attitude, his eyes darkened.
âThank her? Why should I? That womanâs original intention was to snatch my project. Since she
succeeded in stealing my project, consider us even now.â
At this time, his phone vibrated.
Justin took it out, looked at it, frowned slightly, and answered, âWhat do
âJustin, come and hang out with me tonightâ¦â
you want?â
Ryanâs voice was hoarse and weak. He sounded like a resentful wife who had been abandoned.â I
have purchased three global limited-edition sports cars, found four female celebrities to drink with me
at the bar, and opened expensive bottles of champagne to drink until dawn. But my mind is so chaotic
right now. Why canât I relieve this tightness in my chest? Is this what it feels like to be heartbroken? It
hurts so much!â
âIt may not be a broken heart, but it could be angina. I suggest you go to the hospital and get it checked
out. Stop bothering me.â
Justin was frustrated. Just as he was about to hang up, Ryan said anxiously, âWhy donât we celebrate
your stepmotherâs arrest with a drink then?â
Justin pursed his lower lip and said, âFine. Give me a time and place.â
At 6:00 p.m., a Rolls-Royce parked at the back door of the Savrow Film Academy. Even though it was
low-key enough, it still attracted the attention of many students.
