“Okay, enough! Yasmin, why do you mag more than my mother? I chose you because you were a


    person of few words. You’re bing a bbermouth as you get older!” Ryan teased.


    Yasmin pursed her lips and stepped back, feeling embarrassed.


    In the past, women around Ryan came and went, but only she remained unmoved.


    All these years, she took on different roles around him-his secretary, bodyguard, dance partner, and


    even a friend he could speak his mind to. When it was necessary, she acted as his lover to deal with


    those annoying pursuers.


    She was used to being by his side and feeling needed by him. She had never had a man before,


    except for Ryan.


    They were not lovers, but sometimes they were closer than lovers.


    Yasmin did not know whether it was love. However, she knew tha there was never a possibility


    between them.


    Moreover, Ryan had met his one true love. She should not nag h anymore, overstepping her


    boundaries and causing him to be annoyed.


    “Yasmin, you might need to work harder for the next few days.”


    Ryan kissed Carrie’s lips and slowly stood up, ordering Yasmin, Please guard Carrie without letting her


    out of your sight. You will move to sleep in her room from now on. Lock the door and window at night,


    and never let down your guard.”


    “Yes, Mr. Hoffman. I will.”


    Yasmin nodded with a bright gaze. “I will take care of Young Madam


    Carrie tirelessly. I guarantee you with my life that she will be safe when you return.”


    The Salvador Corporation was in a mess, busy trying to take care of Shannon’s scandals.


    In actuality, Gregory did not do it to help Shannon this time. He needed to save the Salvador


    Corporation’s image, which had been stained by the negative news again.


    They had grown too big to be ignored. Since Justin took over the


    Salvador Corporation, he has carried out several reformative decisions. His iron-like methods enabled


    thepany to expand rapidly in Savrow and throughout the continent.


    However, the price of this rapid progression was making numerous enemies and being watched by


    many business rivals.


    Now, the Salvador Corporation has an important project with the number two conglomerate in Meridan.


    If they took a hit and caused their reputation to plummet, shaking the stock market, it might heavily


    impact the project, giving those enemies an opening.


    “Gregory! What do you have to say now? How much longer are you going to protect that damned


    woman?”


    Outside the chairman’s office in the Salvador Corporation, a few high- level executives lined up,


    listening to the chaos in the room. They were scared stiff, wiping their sweat.


    Inside the room, there was a mess on the ground.


    Nigel, sitting in a wheelchair, had thrown everything on the desk onto Gregory. A pencil holder struck


    his forehead, causing a bump to form.


    However, Gregory stood there with his head hung low, not moving an inch.

    It seemed to have be the Salvador family’s practice to clear a desk when throwing a fit.


    “The stock market this morning had almost blinded me! And you, just go online and see how people are


    talking about us!”


    Nigel was furious, pointing at Gregory’s nose. He cursed, “They said we are a family of monsters, rich


    bastards, and all viins! Our image is destroyed by that stupid bitch!”


    Gregory gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, feeling a ball of fire. running through his body.


    He had seen everything Nigel did. The anger in his heart was no less than that of his father’s.


    He repeatedly warned Shannon to keep a low profile and know he ce, but she continuously


    disregarded his words, doing as she pleased. Now, she had made an irreversible mistake!


    She dared to do this because of the indulgence he had shown her over the years. It was because he


    doted on her.


    Gregory regretted it, but he was unwilling to admit his mistake in front of his father. He could not ept


    that he had made a wrong choice in the past.


    “Shannon is grounded, and she is reflecting at home now. Without my word, she can’t take a step out


    of Tideview Manor.”


    Gregory took a deep breath. “Father, I think she went to the funeral for the sake of the Salvador family.


    Regardless of whether she sincerely wanted to mourn that maid, she wanted to build a good image for


    thepany with this action.


    “If everything goes ordingly, there wouldn’t have been any mistakes. Things became like this


    because of your good granddaughter, Ms. Be!”
