Chapter 999
Justin’s eyes started to turn red, and his voice was hoarse, almost pleading. “All I’ve been doing is trying to make things right. I’m ready to put my life on the line for her happiness, even if none of you can forgive me. Just please keep Bella safe. You’re her eldest brother. You understand her better than anyone!”
He was genuinely scared of upsetting Bella. Their relationship had only just begun to improve, and he didn’t want everything to go back to square one. But more than anything else, he feared for her safety.
Asher had only intended to test him, but he hadn’t expected to elicit such heartfelt words from Justin. After a moment of contemplation, he said solemnly, “Fine, you can take action, but you have to do it with
me.”
While Justin geared up for battle at the front lines, the situation in Savrow was far from peaceful.
Today marked a significant partnership meeting between Corporation and Journey Ventures from Meridan. Gregory senior executives of the Salvador Group had arrived early at the conference room to prepare, but Justin was missing on such a
crucial occasion.
Due to the previous scandal involving Shannon, the reputation of t Salvador Corporation had plummeted dramatically, even making
headlines in international media.
The stock value had dropped for three consecutive days, sparking widespread panic. Although domestic projects may not be severely impacted, international business opportunities became uncertain as
a result of these events.
At this crucial moment, the Thompson family in Hatchbay, the
Iverson family in Savrow, and even the Hoffman family were likely to take advantage of the situation and seize market share from the Salvador Corporation abroad.
Now was the moment for Justin, the president of the company, to lead the group. It was the most crucial time to raise morale and maintain stability. However, he was nowhere in sight, which seemed
unbelievable!
At this point, Gregory sat in the conference room with a somber expression, exuding an intimidating chill. Meanwhile, shareholders and senior executives were engaged in hushed discussions.
“Is it possible that President Salvador won’t show up at this point?”
“That’s impossible! President Salvador is well-known for hi commitment. He hasn’t missed a meeting in years. Barring extreme circumstances, he will show up as usual.”
“That’s how it used to be with the old President Salvador. B
Who knows?”
“What do you mean by that?”
“These days, President Salvador seems entirely focused on pursuin the heiress from the Thompson family. He’s always around her li an infatuated puppy. Where would he find time or energy to focus o
work?”
“It seems like he’s preoccupied with making sure the young lady is happy, if you know what I mean.”
Laughter erupted below.
“But seriously, with all the challenges both internal and external that our company is dealing with, along with our already tarnished reputation, if President Salvador doesn’t participate in such a crucial project, wouldn’t Journey Ventures feel like we’re neglecting them? Can we still move forward with the collaboration?”
These whispers reached Gregory’s ears. He tightened his fists on the table as his brow furrowed even deeper.
