In order to promote the Baxim project, Gregory invited the mayor and his wife to y golf at the


    western suburbs golf course.

    The golf course was a venue for expensive entertainment, so it only had a few customers on a normal


    day. Today, it seemed like it was closed off for a private event because only the Salvadors and the


    Solloways were there.


    Shannon was a bad golfer. Although she was not skilled, she was well-equipped. She looked good in a


    pure white golf suit and light makeup, Standing next to Bethany, Shannon looked like Bethany’s


    sister instead of her mother.


    The reason they brought Bethany there was to introduce Bethany to the mayor and his wife.


    After all, Bethany was already 25 years old and of marriageable age. Thus, Shannon did not let go of


    any opportunity to promote Bethany. Even if she knew that her daughter was hung up on Ryan


    Hoffman, Shannon would not allow Bethany to forgo the entire ocean because of one fish.


    “Hello, Mayor Solloway and Mrs. Solloway.” Bethany bowed gracefully and showed a gentle smile.


    “Oh, this must be your daughter, right? She looks even more beautiful in person than on TV!” Mrs.


    Solloway looked at Bethany with a smile.


    Shannon and Bethany’s expressions instantly stiffened.


    Mrs. Solloway did not mean anything by it, but the Salvadors felt that this was a reference to


    Bethany’s public apology at a press conferencest time.


    Although the “apology scandal” had lost traction, there were still some memes of Bethany


    embarrassing herself on the inte with all kinds of sarcasticments. Bethany felt humiliated.


    The mayor coughed hurriedly and shot a nce at his wife.


    Only then did Mrs. Solloway react and say with a wry smile, “Haha… Mrs. Salvador, your daughter is


    beautiful. In my opinion, it’s not an exaggeration to call her the best-looking girl among the elite families


    in Savrow.”


    “Thank you very much, Mrs. Solloway.”


    Shannon hugged Bethany and said, “Why didn’t your sone today? I heard that your son is a young


    talent. He and Bethany are schoolmates.”


    “Oh, my son has to attend to some official business today,” Mrs. Solloway replied.


    “Oh, that’s such a pity. I will make arrangements for our families to meet again then.” Shannon was


    very considerate.


    “Haha… Sure, when the timees…”


    Mrs. Solloway was being perfunctory. She suddenly asked, “By the way, I heard that you have a


    younger daughter. Why didn’t shee with you?”


    The fake smile on Bethany’s face was about to copse because this implied that Mrs. Solloway did not


    like her.


    Bethany thought, ‘So what if she doesn’t like me? I don’t care about the mayor’s son! But she’s bringing


    that little bitch to p me in the face!’


    Shannon said politely, “My youngest daughter is frail and sick. She usually stays at home on


    medication. She’s also an introvert who doesn’t like socializing, so she didn’te with us.”


    “Oh, my! What illness did she get at such a young age? Is she alright?”


    “She’s fine as long as she’s on medication.”


    Shannon knew what Mrs. Solloway was thinking. Mrs. Solloway did not like Bethany, but she still


    wanted a marriage alliance with the Salvador family, so she set her sights on Carrie.


    Shannon thought, ‘What the hell! Are my daughters vegetables from the market that you can pick and


    choose as you please?!’


    Gregory and Justin had already yed a few games with the mayor. The three of them were chatting


    and taking a leisurely walk on the turf.


    “Mayor Solloway, ourpany is able to win the Baxim project thanks to your strong support.” Gregory


    smiled and shook hands with the mayor.


    “Oh, what are you talking about? This is not the first time that we have cooperated. I have a good


    project on my hands, so of course, I’ll think about you.” The mayor was very friendly with Gregory


    because they had known each other for more than ten years.


    “I’ll make the arrangements tonight. We ought to have a drink to celebrate!”


    “It’s my father-inw’s birthday tonight. So I have to attend no matter what.”


    The mayor smiled and said, “There’s no rush to celebrate until we officially sign the contract on Friday.


    We’ll get properly drunk then!”


    Justin listened to the two chatting andughing with an expressionless face. However, he felt like a


    huge stone was pressing on his chest, making it hard to breathe.


    He had until Friday to secure the project.


    Justin had to act fast before the deal was signed.


    Even if he exposed what Shannon did, Gregory would dismiss it and cover it up to keep his family’s


    scandal from the public eye.


    Thus, Justin had to make a fuss that was too big to cover up to kick Shannon out of thepany. At


    this moment, a golf cart came to a stop in front of them.
