In the study, both Shannon and Bethany were present.


    Of course, Gregory did not ask Nigel to attend as well, since the old man waspletely on Justin’s


    side in his eyes.


    At this point, the father and son were on opposing sides.


    It seemed that ever since Mary, Justin’s birth mother, hadmit suicide, Justin and Gregory were


    only father and son in name.


    And now, the gap between them has widened once more due to Thompson.


    But this was exactly what Shannon wanted to see most.


    It was only when they were on either side of the fence and in their own camp that she could take


    advantage of the chaos to reap. benefits from the Salvadors!


    If she took a step back and looked at the bigger picture, it did not matter if Justin was very influential


    and capable. Gregory was still his father. Justin would still have to bow before him, right?


    “I called you over to inform you of something.”


    Gregory sat on the sofa with a cold expression before casually throwing a freshly printed letter of


    appointment at Justin. “I’ve already decided to officially appoint Hunter Lovett as Salvador


    Corporation’s legal counsel and the head of the group’s legal department. It’ll be announced first thing


    tomorrow morning. I’ve already signed it, so there’s no need for your signature as president.”


    Shannon and her daughter secretly smiled in glee.


    “I don’t agree with this,” Justin said coldly without hesitation.


    “I don’t need your agreement. All that’s needed is my decision. Hunter Lovett is a rare talent. Don’t you


    know how important it is for a group to recruit an excellentwyer?”


    “You heard the conversation between Be and Hunter earlier, didn’t you?”


    Justin sneered darkly. “Are you hiring an ungrateful, profit-driven, and unscrupulouswyer like him?”


    “You arrogant, rebellious ass!”


    Gregory suddenly stood up. He cked out briefly because he moved, too suddenly. Luckily, Shannon


    caught him in time.


    “Don’t stress yourself out so much, Greg! It’s bad for your health!” She gently stroked her husband’s


    back as she internallyughed in tion.


    “The Thompsons helped the Lovetts in their time of crisis, and they were taken care of by Chairman


    Thompson. Even Hunter’s younger brother, Steven, is working at KS Group. And still, Hunter harbors


    resentment and betrays the Thompsons’ trust for his own selfish desires. Do you think you can control


    someone like that? If someone offers him better terms in the future, do you think he’ll stay obediently at


    Salvador Corporation and let you use him?” Justin hit the bull’s eye, not giving him any mercy.


    “Justin Salvador! You’re just making excuses for protecting that witch, Be Thompson!”


    Now that there were no outsiders around, Gregory could no longer hold back. He was so angry his


    eyes were red as he roared, “You’re so protective of her… Don’t tell me you’ve fallen for that bitch?!”


    “So what if I have?” Justin spoke casually.


    But God knew his heart was beating as fast as a rabbit’s at that moment!All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    When Gregory heard this, he froze, thunderstruck.


    Shannon and Bethany also froze, not expecting Justin to give such an answer.


    But they could not tell if Justin had really fallen for Be and was just admitting it, or if he was purely


    trying to disobey Gregory.


    After all, that bastard had only messed up once in his life, which was abandoning the girl who had it all,


    Be Thompson, in favor of getting together with Rosalind Gold.


    “Justin Salvador! Do you think you cane here and put the spilled milk back in the bottle? No way!”


    Gregory was so furious that his eye was twitching and his voice was cracking. “I’m telling you, you’d


    better give up and forget it, even if you’ve fallen for Be Thompson! As long as I live, I’ll never agree to


    you being together with that Thompson witch! Had I known earlier. that she was Wyatt Thompson’s


    daughter, I would never have let you marry her back then. She made a fool out of us and wasted your


    time. for three years!”


    His words were like arrows that pierced Justin’s heart.


    Fury colored Justin’s eyes in an instant, and his pupils shrank as his eyes burned with hatred.


    The next second, Justin grabbed the crystal ashtray on the coffee table and raised it high over his


    head, only to smash it hard against the ground.


    Crash-!


    “Ah!”


    Gregory trembled, while Shannon and Bethany cried out in fear.


    The crystal ashtray fell to the ground and was smashed into pieces, its sharp shards scattering


    everywhere.


    A few shards bounced so high they cut Shannon’s skirt and arm.


    Fresh blood welled up, and she was both shocked and angry, almost bursting into tears.


    “Be hasn’t done anything wrong. What right do you have to talk about her like that?”


    Justin red through reddened eyes, his hands clenched into fists as he pressed on.


    “What did she do wrong by marrying me? In what way did she wrong me in the three years we were


    married? Did she wrong you or our family? It was me who let her down. Our whole family let her down!


    Don’t me me for not showing mercy if anyone says anything else negative about her, even if it’s


    you!”


    That gaze…
