Chapter 460
The corners of Justin’s stiff lips tugged, and his ink-black eyes fille
with bitterness. “Isn’t Christopher by her side? At the very least, she
has a band of brothers. Why should go and make her feel better? Am
I that foolish?”
Anxious for Justin’s situation, lan blurted out, “Mr. Salvador! Your
current position in Young Madam’s heart is not favorable! Being foolish is your only way out now! If you don’t act foolishly, Young
Madam won’t come back!”
Before lan finished speaking, Justin shot him a cold glance. lan was
so startled that he choked on his saliva and coughed several times.
“We are divorced. Once broken, a mirror can’t be mended. I have not
intention of winning her back.” Justin felt suffocated in his chest. His
voice was deep and hoarse, as if he swallowed all the bitterness in
the world. “What is mine will not leave me. It’s pointless to chase
after what is not mine. I have never regretted letting her go… Ever.”
Shannon returned to Tideview Manor with a heart full of grievances.
From the moment she entered, she burst into tears. She entered the
study and clung to Gregory. Tears and snot flowed freely from her
face.
“Greg! How can Justin be so heartless? Bethany is his sister! It’s already too much that he’s not helping her. How can he dismiss Bethany from her position? How will she hold her head up in the
company from now on?! He wants to establish a dictatorship in the
company. He wants to control everything. After becoming president, he looks down on you more!”
“I gave the order to dismiss her.” Gregory felt irritated and pushed her away slowly. “I made Justin dismiss Bethany.”
Strangely, in the past, Shannon’s tears had always been effective on him. But now, seeing her cry made him uncomfortable. He just wanted to find a quiet place to be alone.
During such moments, he couldn’t help but unconsciously think about. Justin’s mother. She was inherently a cold and stubborn woman. She had never shed a tear for him, nor had she looked at him with
affection and indulgence like Shannon did.
For most of his life, Gregory’s greatest regret was never truly conquering Justin’s mother. Shannon appeared during that most
sensitive period and fulfilled his vanity as a man and his desire to
conquer a woman.
If only she had yielded to him back then, would their relationship have
reached such a point?
Gregory knew he loved Justin’s mother. Perhaps even more than she
loved him.
“Greg… What are you saying?” Shannon lifted her tear-swollen face, and her eyes were filled with astonishment.
“With this matter at hand, how can I support her in holding onto the
position? If I forcefully support her, what about my dignity as the
chairman? What about the prestige? How will the outside world view
the Salvador Corporation?” Gregory’s tone was icy, and he clearly felt
unhappy.
Shannon asked tearfully, “Is our child important, or is the chairman’s
reputation more important?”
“I am Bethany’s father.” Gregory turned away and pinched the bridge of his nose. “But I am also at the helm of the Salvador Corporation! You can pamper the child limitlessly, but I cannot disregard the entire
company!”
“Greg! How can you say such things? Have you grown tired of me?! Don’t you love me anymore?!” In a moment of anger, Shannon asked a foolish question, one that many men find most repulsive.
“Now Wyatt has made it clear that he will stand by Bella to the end,
and we will likely face a legal battle. I am swamped with work right
now, and I am in no mood to argue with you about these matters!
Instead of crying and making a scene here, why don’t you focus on
disciplining your own daughter!” Filled with resentment, Gregory
abruptly stood up, causing Shannon to tumble onto the sofa.
“Do you know how much trouble Bethany has caused over the years?
