In the study, both Shannon and Bethany were present.
Of course, Gregory did not ask Nigel to attend as well, since the old man was completely on Justinâs
side in his eyes.
At this point, the father and son were on opposing sides.
It seemed that ever since Mary, Justinâs birth mother, had commit suicide, Justin and Gregory were
only father and son in name.
And now, the gap between them has widened once more due to Thompson.
But this was exactly what Shannon wanted to see most.
It was only when they were on either side of the fence and in their own camp that she could take
advantage of the chaos to reap. benefits from the Salvadors!
If she took a step back and looked at the bigger picture, it did not matter if Justin was very influential
and capable. Gregory was still his father. Justin would still have to bow before him, right?
âI called you over to inform you of something.â
Gregory sat on the sofa with a cold expression before casually throwing a freshly printed letter of
appointment at Justin. âIâve already decided to officially appoint Hunter Lovett as Salvador
Corporationâs legal counsel and the head of the groupâs legal department. Itâll be announced first thing
tomorrow morning. Iâve already signed it, so thereâs no need for your signature as president.â
Shannon and her daughter secretly smiled in glee.
âI donât agree with this,â Justin said coldly without hesitation.
âI donât need your agreement. All thatâs needed is my decision. Hunter Lovett is a rare talent. Donât you
know how important it is for a group to recruit an excellent lawyer?â
âYou heard the conversation between Bella and Hunter earlier, didnât you?â
Justin sneered darkly. âAre you hiring an ungrateful, profit-driven, and unscrupulous lawyer like him?â
âYou arrogant, rebellious ass!â
Gregory suddenly stood up. He blacked out briefly because he moved, too suddenly. Luckily, Shannon
caught him in time.
âDonât stress yourself out so much, Greg! Itâs bad for your health!â She gently stroked her husbandâs
back as she internally laughed in elation.
âThe Thompsons helped the Lovetts in their time of crisis, and they were taken care of by Chairman
Thompson. Even Hunterâs younger brother, Steven, is working at KS Group. And still, Hunter harbors
resentment and betrays the Thompsonsâ trust for his own selfish desires. Do you think you can control
someone like that? If someone offers him better terms in the future, do you think heâll stay obediently at
Salvador Corporation and let you use him?â Justin hit the bullâs eye, not giving him any mercy.
âJustin Salvador! Youâre just making excuses for protecting that witch, Bella Thompson!â
Now that there were no outsiders around, Gregory could no longer hold back. He was so angry his
eyes were red as he roared, âYouâre so protective of her⦠Donât tell me youâve fallen for that bitch?!â
âSo what if I have?â Justin spoke casually.
But God knew his heart was beating as fast as a rabbitâs at that moment!
When Gregory heard this, he froze, thunderstruck.
Shannon and Bethany also froze, not expecting Justin to give such an answer.
But they could not tell if Justin had really fallen for Bella and was just admitting it, or if he was purely
trying to disobey Gregory.
After all, that bastard had only messed up once in his life, which was abandoning the girl who had it all,
Bella Thompson, in favor of getting together with Rosalind Gold.
âJustin Salvador! Do you think you can come here and put the spilled milk back in the bottle? No way!â
Gregory was so furious that his eye was twitching and his voice was cracking. âIâm telling you, youâd
better give up and forget it, even if youâve fallen for Bella Thompson! As long as I live, Iâll never agree to
you being together with that Thompson witch! Had I known earlier. that she was Wyatt Thompsonâs
daughter, I would never have let you marry her back then. She made a fool out of us and wasted your
time. for three years!â
His words were like arrows that pierced Justinâs heart.
Fury colored Justinâs eyes in an instant, and his pupils shrank as his eyes burned with hatred.
The next second, Justin grabbed the crystal ashtray on the coffee table and raised it high over his
head, only to smash it hard against the ground.
Crash-!
âAh!â
Gregory trembled, while Shannon and Bethany cried out in fear.
The crystal ashtray fell to the ground and was smashed into pieces, its sharp shards scattering
everywhere.
A few shards bounced so high they cut Shannonâs skirt and arm.
Fresh blood welled up, and she was both shocked and angry, almost bursting into tears.
âBella hasnât done anything wrong. What right do you have to talk about her like that?â
Justin glared through reddened eyes, his hands clenched into fists as he pressed on.
âWhat did she do wrong by marrying me? In what way did she wrong me in the three years we were
married? Did she wrong you or our family? It was me who let her down. Our whole family let her down!
Donât blame me for not showing mercy if anyone says anything else negative about her, even if itâs
you!â
That gazeâ¦
