Chapter 1162
The incident with Shannon at the race track plunged Salvador Corporation into deep turmoil.
As the head of the family, Nigel gave Gregory an ultimatum.
Shannon could rot in prison, but if Gregory still thought she was worth saving, Nigel intended to cut him off completely.
However, Gregory had his own concerns.
If he were to turn his back on Shannon, the public would have a go at him, calling him out for being a heartless capitalist who used his wife
as a pawn.
His first marriage with an heiress of the Fowler family ended. His second wife was rumored to suffer from depression due to his neglect and had jumped to her death. His third wife, Shannon suspected of using.
Gregory did not want to give the public another reason to mock h He did not want to hear that things would not end well if no wom
was involved with him.
To protect his pride, he could not let Shannon become a criminal.
Gregory was in for a surprise, though.
Justin bypassed him, the chairman, and held a meeting with higher
management.
Shannon was relieved of all her duties.

The meeting was over before Gregory could make it there. When the chairman arrived on the scene, the senior executives were just getting up to leave. They fell silent and gave the chairman a nod.
“I expect an explanation, Justin. Why did you host the meeting without my permission?” Fury drove Gregory to press for answers on
the spot.
“It’s just a regular meeting. It’s no different from any other day.”
Justin sunk his back into his seat, a pen twirling between his fingers. His eyes were hard to read. “I’m the president. Shouldn’t I preside over meetings? Why are you getting worked over this?”
“You have overstepped by dismissing Shannon without notifying me. You should have included me in the important decision-making process. These are rules.” Gregory was livid.
“It’s too late.”
Justin’s eyes were cold. “The entire nation is waiting for o ision
on Shannon, but you made no comment for three days. T at the horse racing event is not going anywhere. Salvador Co can’t take another hit. As the president of this company, I nee make a call. I see no reason why you would oppose my decision unless you are delusional enough to still want to save Shannon.”
Rage overcame Gregory. “Justin!”

“Shannon has broken the law multiple times by lining her pockets and
using drugs. No individual with any ounce of self-respect would
continue to work at the company that they had ruined. What did she
ever do to help the company anyway?” Justin smirked.
“Shannon is just under investigation. She is not convicted. A lot of things don’t add up. For all we know, Shannon could have been framed.”
The senior executives did not know how to react.
“How was Shannon framed to inject drugs into herself when no one is around to force her?”
“That’s the strange part. The timing is suspicious. Shannon isn’t one to be sloppy.”
Gregory regretted the moment the words left his lips.
