“Besides, as the wife of Salvador Corporation’s chairman, you’re practically rolling in money. $200


    million is a drop in the bucket for


    you. As far as I know, your hefty savings in a Regarton bank are


    hardly legitimate when it’s embezzlement from Salvador


    Corporation’s projects. Even if you didn’t have $1 billion in there, you should have at least secured


    $500 million.”


    Shannon managed to save up to $1 billion through abuse of her


    position, embezzlement, and bribery.


    If Justin and Be were to discover her secret stash, they would use it


    against her.


    Shannon would be looking at permanent jail time.


    Gregory could bail her out since they were married. However,


    Shannon no longer trusted that he had her back.


    “You’re not even 50 yet, Mrs. Salvador. You can still live a high life


    many years toe. Your daughters aren’t even married yet. Do


    you want to be at their wedding? Don’t you want to hold a grandchil You won’tst long in the harsh


    conditions of prison. Just one da


    behind bars might drive you crazy.”


    That was a tant threat.

    Gritting her teeth, Shannon quickly made up her mind. “Fine! I’ll get you $200 million in three days. But


    you need to disappear without leaving a trace and nevere back to Savrow.”


    “Three days will be toote. The cops aren’t the ones on my tail.


    Justin and Ryan sent their men after me. I can’t wait that long. I


    expect to see the money before sundown tomorrow. We have worked together long enough, Mrs.


    Salvador It’ll be sad if we all go down


    together.”


    In the corridor, Wilma carried Justin’s tailored suit past Shannon’s


    room.


    Outside Shannon’s bedroom door, Wilma heard the nging and


    banginging from inside.


    Wilma frowned and murmured under her breath, “Jesus Christ! What


    is she on now? She still has a temper despite marrying rich.”


    Then, her phone vibrated. It was a call from Justin.


    Wilma went to a corner and took the call. “Hello, Young Master


    Justin? Are youing home tonight?”


    “Are Shannon and Bethany at the manor now, Wilma?” Justin was always nice to Wilma.


    “Yes, they are. I stood outside their bedroom and heard them arguin


    I think they trashed everything in the room.”


    Wilma asked with worry, “Did something happen, Young Master


    Justin? You have not been back for days.”


    After much contemtion, Justin decided against telling Wilma


    about Linny’s passing, in case the news was too much to bear. “I


    need a favor, Wilma. Don’t leave Tideview Manor for now. Stay there and keep an eye on Shannon.


    Tell me right away when she leaves the


    ce. Don’t worry about anything else.”


    “Sure, Young Master. Got it.”


    “Remember not to get involved in anything else. Shannon is wicked.


    She’s capable of anything when pushed.” Justin’s voice was hoarse.


    Wilma shuddered. “What on earth happened, sir? That reminds me.


    Linny hasn’t been around for days. She didn’t apply for leave with the butler, and I couldn’t reach her on


    the phone. Did something happen


    to her?”


    “I’ll tell you about Linny when the time is right. Just do as I tell you for


    now.”


    Just when Justin was about to end the call, Shannon walked out of her room.


    It waste at night. Yet Shannon, known for her mboyance, dressed discreetly in ck.


    It was as if she was mourning the loss of her spouse.


    Wilma stealthily ran to the window and saw Shannon getting


    the


    car and driving out of Tideview Manor.


    “Shannon just went out, sir!”


    Wilma reported to Justin. “She’s dressed in full ck, like she’s in mourning. I bet she’s up to no good.”


    Meanwhile, acting on the tipoff from Wilma, Justin assignedn


    follow Shannon.
