The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge (Anna and Justin) novel Chapter 1489

“Everyone heard the recording in the courtroom earlier!”

Gregory was seething with anger, his breath ragged as he spoke through clenched teeth. “Others might not recognize your voice, but do you think I wouldn’t? From the very beginning, you were aware of everything Shannon did. You knew about her plans to hire someone to murder someone else! Instead of informing me, you chose to aid her in concealing it?! Were you out of your mind?!”

“N-No, I…”

“Do you know your actions amount to siding and aiding a criminal?! You’re an accomplice! Do you wish to end up behind bars like Shannon?! Is that what you desire?!”

Bethany was terrified. She dropped to her knees before Gregory in a desperate state, tears streaming down her pale face as she pleaded, her hands trembling nervously. “Dad! I’ve made a grave mistake… I fully acknowledge that now! Everything I did... She forced me into doing them! She’s my biological mother… She made me do it… I couldn’t just say no to her! I was too filial… I was stupid!

She begged, “Please, don’t let me go to jail. I’m your daughter, too… Can you really bear to see me behind bars?! Besides, how can the Salvadors afford to have another family member behind bars? This affected the Iversons severely! Do you also want our hard-built Salvador Corporation to collapse like the Iverson Group?!”

Gregory’s dark pupils narrowed deeply. Suddenly, he shouted sternly, “Get out of my way!”

Scared, Bethany crawled away like a servant, making way for the emperor. She watched as Gregory passed by her.

The footsteps clattered past her, but not a single person stopped to help her, making her feel even more ashamed.

“Damn it! Damn it!”

Bethany pounded the ground fiercely with her hands, shouting and cursing in the empty hallway.

“Hey! This is a courthouse, not a donkey pen! If you want to yell, get out of here!” Two police officers came over and chased her away in disgust.
