Accustomed to a life of luxury and privilege since he was born, Gregory had never experienced such humiliation and indignity before.
Besides, it happened right in front of his son!
This completely shattered his pride, and he felt utterly humiliated.
“I’ll smack some conscience into you!”
Nigel was about to pick up the purple clay teapot and throw it but was promptly stopped by his secretary, Matt. “Please calm down, Old Master!”
Gregory covered his head injury, gritting his teeth in fury. “Instead of favoring your own blood, you chose to favor Wyatt’s daughter, turning a blind eye to our family’s interests! You seem to have lost your senses entirely! Wyatt and his daughter are constantly going against the Salvadors. At the banquet, they even snatched away the Journey Ventures’ multibillion-dollar equestrian hotel project from us! If it weren’t for the KS Group’s interference, that project would’ve belonged to the Salvador Corporation!”
Not content with just complaining to Nigel, Gregory turned his head and pointed accusingly at Justin. “And you! Instead of supporting your own family’s business, you’ve gone as far as to act as a matchmaker for the Thompsons, arranging cooperation between the KS Group and the Reeds! Your elder brother is far away in Meridan, unwell, but he still knows how to contribute to the family! And you, for the sake of a woman, gave up on our family’s interests! As the company’s CEO, this is a serious dereliction of duty! You must bear full responsibility for the failure of this cooperation!”
Justin’s eyes were like dim stars buried at the bottom of a well. His voice was heavy with emotion. “But that’s not the only responsibility I have to bear, right?”
Gregory was startled. “What?”
“I openly opposed your plan for me to marry into the Hoffman family. Surely, you haven’t forgotten that, right?”
The man’s dark, chilling gaze sent shivers down one’s spine. “Didn’t you say that if I didn’t agree to marry Zoe Hoffman, you’d kick me out of the Salvador family? Now, with the Hoffmans in trouble and Zoe exposing Bella’s miscarriage in front of everyone, tarnishing her reputation and stirring up trouble, are you conveniently avoiding the marriage proposal to steer clear of the scandal?”
Matt was deeply alarmed, and his back was soaked in cold sweat.
How could this be possible?!
Almost no one knew about Bella’s miscarriage, so how did Zoe find out?!
