Chapter 110
Justin raised his eyebrows. His noble and ascetic face was as cold as ice.
What he felt earlier was nothing in comparison to the rage he felt at that moment.
Justin had just returned home and changed his clothes when Gregory called him to the study.
“Sob… Daddy! You must stand up for me! I feel so wronged and miserable!”
Bethany cried until her tears soaked Gregory’s shirt. Her face was covered in tears and scratch marks
from the fight she had with her friends in the afternoon. The corners of her lips were also cracked, so
she looked miserable.
Gregory was sitting on the sofa. Bethany had always presented herself as a well-bred lady, so when she looked so wretched, Gregory hurriedly reached out and stroked her hair to comfort her.
“Your brother is back. I’ll ask him what’s going on when he comes in.”
“This matter is getting bigger now. I’ve already received several calls today asking me about Bethany,
and I don’t know how to answer them.”
Shannon loved her daughter, so her eyes turned red with worry. “Bethany is being criticized online. How can she possibly show herself in public in the future? What would other wealthy families in
Savrow think of us?”
“Shannon, don’t worry. I won’t let our daughter suffer this grievance.”
Gregory frowned and looked angry.
At this time, the door opened. Justin walked in expressionlessly.
“Justin, why didn’t you deal with the video in time? It’s going viral for all the wrong reasons! Don’t you think that you’re lacking as the president of Salvador Corporation?” Gregory hugged Bethany and scolded Justin.
“Salvador Corporation has a public relations department and a legal department. Each department
has its own director.”
Justin’s eyes were calm, and his tone was low. “I am the president of Salvador Corporation, but I’m
not a nanny. Some things aren’t under my jurisdiction, so I don’t have to intervene.”
“Justin, do you think that this isn’t something you have to worry about? Bethany is your biological sister! Are you just going to watch as someone bullies your sister and ruins her reputation?” Shannon’s face was covered in tears, and she clutched her chest as if she would faint at any moment.
“Shannon, you’re weak, so don’t get too agitated.”
Gregory hurriedly stood up and put his arms around Shannon’s shoulders. His gaze was tender.
It had been 20 years, but Justin still felt suffocated every time he saw Gregory and Shannon showing off their affection for each other.
Gregory had never once mentioned Justin’s mother in the past 20 years or visited her grave.
That poor woman loved him so deeply, but it was as if she had never appeared in Gregory’s life. Gregory’s indifference was more cruel than hating her.
“I’m fine, Greg.”
Shannon leaned into Gregory’s embrace and coughed twice for good measure. “I was too agitated earlier and didn’t control my emotions. Justin is the president of Salvador Corporation, so he must be busy dealing with all kinds of problems every day. I shouldn’t have bothered him about this. I was just afraid that Justin still has doubts about me. After all, I’m not his birth mother… If that’s why he

doesn’t want to help Bethany, I don’t blame him. I can understand where he’s coming from.”
Justin looked at this pretentious woman indifferently. He was tired of watching her act for 20 years.
He just wondered why Gregory was not tired of Shannon’s act.
“Shannon, don’t think too much. Whether that brat admits it or not, you are my wife, so by extension, you are his mother!”
Shannon successfully provoked Gregory, who became more infuriated. He pointed at Justin’s indifferent face and said, “You’d better come up with a solution for me right away! I want all those videos and posts about Bethany to disappear by tomorrow morning. Otherwise, you’ll answer to me!”
“I’d thought of the solution a long time ago and told Bethany.” Justin lowered his cold eyes.
“Dad! Justin didn’t think of a plan for me. He was just pushing me into a fire pit!”
Bethany immediately became anxious when she heard her name. She stretched her neck and said, He actually wants me to apologize to that stupid housekeeper! I’m someone of status, and she’s a nobody. Why should I apologize to her?! Also, Anna came to the boutique to cause trouble today and slapped me in front of so many people. Sob, sob… I’m too embarrassed to face anyone!”
Shannon and Gregory were shocked when they heard this. “What? Anna slapped you?!”
