Tears streamed down Shannon’s cheeks, she stared at Gregory with pitiful eyes and said, “I thought I


    would never see you again. These past few days have been like a living hell for me! I was so scared,


    Greg…”


    Gregory sympathized with Shannon. He could see that his beloved wife was in distress.


    However, with a heap of troubles that umted over the past few days, hecked the mood to


    comfort her.


    Just then, the television mounted on the wall began broadcasting the news, capturing their attention.


    Much to their surprise, the news showed the signing ceremony of the coboration between Asher,


    president of the KS Group, and the project leaders of the Baxim development, including Mayor


    Solloway. In the footage, Asher exchanged contracts with Mayor Solloway, warmly shaking hands. The


    shing cameras below captured this significant moment.


    Justin stared at the screen intently. His grip tightened around the teacup, so much so that the veins on


    his forearm were bulging. His usuallyposed face turned frosty as a feeling of anger arose in his


    heart.


    At the same time, Gregory’s expression turned gloomy. He thought, ‘That bratty girl snatched away a


    perfectly good project!’


    Shannon’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly hugged Gregory’s arm andined bitterly.” This time,


    Be has crossed the line! What did our family do to offend her? Not only did she snatch the project,


    but she also wanted to send me to jail! How can this woman be so ruthless? Throughout her three


    years of marriage to Justin, the Salvador family treated her with kindness. How can she repay kindness


    with enmity?!”


    Upon hearing these usations, Justin felt an unsettling difort. He calmly set down his teacup


    and said, “Is having Be cook for you for the past three years your so-called kindness?”


    Shannon, filled with anger, clenched her teeth. “Be made that choice voluntarily. No one forced her!”


    “Shannon.” Gregory, who had remained silent throughout the conversation, suddenly said, ” There’s


    something I need to tell you.” He continued, “The appointment letter has been issued. From now on,


    Justin will be the president of the Salvador Corporation and deputy chairman of the board. That’s final.”


    Gregory’s words exploded in her ears like thunder.


    “Greg… What are you saying? Why…” Shannon asked in shock. Her face turned pale in an


    instant.


    Gregory pursed his lips and chose to remain silent for a moment.


    Justin squinted, understanding theplex bond between them. Gregory found it difficult to speak on


    this matter, yet he was willing to shoulder the burden.


    Justin interjected, “You’re well aware of the reason, Aunt Shannon. A high-ranking executive who has


    just undergone a prosecutor’s investigation, carrying charges of bribery, abuse of power, and


    corruption-how could such an individual hold onto a pivotal role in thepany? If this were to be


    public knowledge, the management of Salvador Corporation

    would be aughingstock in the business circles of Savrow.”


    Shannon shouted, “Be framed me! She used my cousin’s predicament to take revenge and set me


    up!”


    Her eyes were bloodshot as she stood up abruptly. Driven by anger and distress, the world turned dark


    before her eyes. She eximed, “Zephyr orchestrated everything! He has already confessed to it! It


    has nothing to do with me! Why can’t I be the deputy chairman of the board?!”


    Justin smirked as he calmly stood up and left the room. He could not be bothered by the woman before


    him. Internally, Shannon was madly cursing Justin, ‘Bastard! That heartless bastard!’


    She held on tightly to Gregory’s stiff arm and said, “Gregory! I’m innocent… I was


    manipted by that little bitch, Be! You promised me that position… How could you give it to him?”


    “Shannon, though I am the chairman of Salvador Corporation, it is a publicly listedpany with


    shareholders and board members. It’s not solely my decision. In a situation like this, how can I still


    support you in taking that position?”


    Gregory took a deep breath, forcefully withdrawing his arm from her grip, and said, “Also, are you truly


    innocent?”


    “Gregory, are you doubting me? I’m your wife! We’ve been married for 25 years… You know what kind


    of person I am. How can you believe those rumors and gossip?” Shannon’s heart skipped a beat,


    attempting to mask her guilt. Gregory frowned and looked at her intensely. He said nothing and left.


    His gaze struck Shannon like a sharp bolt of lightning, piercing through her soul. She thought, ‘It’s over.


    After all the effort and schemes, everything is taken away from me!’
