The atmosphere in the hospital ward was tense.


    In the past, Shannon held a special ce in Gregory’s heart, receiving his utmost care and attention.


    Although Gregory could not guarantee his presence by Shannon’s sick bed every day, he consistently


    expressed deep concern whenever she faced a minor ailment. Even amidst his busiest schedule, he


    would still try to visit her every day.


    However, three days had psed without Gregory’s presence, a scenario previously deemed


    imusible.


    “Greg…”

    Shannon leaned weakly against the bed’s headboard and delicately / wiped her trembling, powder-


    coated lips. Her tear-filled eyes fixed on Gregory. “Have you been busytely? I guess you’ve been


    caught up with thepany’s affairs and couldn’t find time to visit me… My condition is nothing


    serious, just a perforated eardrum. It’s not a big


    deal… I’ve already undergone surgery…


    Shannon’s words were cut short by Gregory’s somber interruption.”


    Shannon, I’m here with a question. Was everything Be mentioned


    the other day true?”


    Shannon was startled by Gregory’s question. Her eyes quivered


    intensely.


    “Greg, after all this time, you’re still questioning my loyalty? I’m your wife. You know how devoted I am


    to you! I’ve given birth to two daughters for you, nearly losing my life giving birth to Carrie. I’ve


    sacrificed so much for you…. Why would I even consider being disloyal to you by associating with


    someone used of murder?”


    “Greg, have you stopped loving me? When love fades, suspicion taints every action, and every word


    will be deemed wrong!”


    Shannon’s words overflowed with anger, yet her heart quivered with


    fear.


    All the resentful questioning was nothing but a cover for Shannon’s inner panic and turmoil.


    “I’m not referring to the man named Harry Young. I’ll look into whatever is between you two on my


    own.”


    Gregory’s expression remainedposed. “I’m talking about Celeste. Were you the one behind the


    attack on her?”


    “No! No! It wasn’t me!”


    Shannon vehemently protested, her voice strained. “Why would I want to harm her? What would I even


    gain from hurting her? Why would I


    take such a risk?”


    Gregory simply watched Shannon protest, his hand clenching tightly around his phone, which had


    turned warm from his touch.


    During the past three days, Gregory instructed his secretary to discreetly investigate the rtionship


    between Shannon and Harry. Although it had not unfolded precisely like what Be had described-


    where Shannon had exchanged sentimental items like her ne with him-there was some truth to it,


    Shannon did indeed know Harry. They had even crossed paths on multiple asions during their time


    at TS Channel.


    Another revtion came to light. Despite the absence of call records between Shannon and Harry,


    Gregory took precautionary measures and got ahold of Bethany’smunication logs.


    Among the many numbers, one did not align with Bethany’s social


    circle.


    Upon further investigation, Gregory discovered that the numbercked registration under a real name.


    However, its location coincided with the direction of Harry’s rented house.


    After learning about this, Gregory’s heart sank at once.


    Bethany was born in the elite circle. All her life, she has associated solely with high society and has


    never befriended anyone beneath her social circle, let alone visited the slums.


    Hence, there was only one possible exnation for using Bethany to establish contact with someone


    from that IP address.


    “Shannon, do you know what attracted me to you the most then?” Gregory took a deep breath and


    asked.


    Shannon was startled once again, her mind scrambling to recall.


    She believed that Gregory must have been charmed by her youthful allure and captivating beauty. After


    all, most men tend to prioritize physical allure over emotional depth


    Yet she had overlooked one crucial aspect.


    As the designated heir of the Salvador family, Gregory was born into wealth and privilege.


    However, despite the relentless pursuit by elite socialites in Savrow and aspiring female celebrities,


    none fulfilled their dreams of


    bing his wife.


    As for Shannon, she was nothing more than a small-time actress. Shecked Celeste’s beauty, and her


    family background was even less


    remarkable.


    So why did Gregory choose Shannon among the multitude of female celebrities on the TS Channel?


    “Because back then, your eyes radiated purity and innocence. I was captivated by your genuine and


    unassuming nature. You made me want to protect and cherish you. With you, I found the sense of pride


    and contentment that every man desires.”
