No… No!


    Without her position as the wife of the Salvador Corporation’s chairman, who would even care about


    Shannon? Who would even pay any attention to her?


    The fact that she was Gregory’s wife was why Justin and Be were cautious around her, unable to


    challenge her.


    If Shannon loses the protection of this man, those two would tear her apart alive!


    “From now on, you are forbidden to leave Tideview Manor without my permission. If you dare to


    disobey my orders, I’ll send you abroad. In that case, don’t even think about setting foot in Savrow ever


    again!”


    “How could you fail to distinguish what’s right from wrong, Greg? had good intentions. I attended the


    funeral to assist with the aftermath! It was all that malicious girl, Be’s fault. She kept co at me like a


    dog with rabies, relentlessly trying to ruin the Salva family. That’s why things escted!” Shannon


    desperately defen herself.


    “Do you think I’m an idiot?!”


    Gregory no longer wanted to listen to her nonsense. His tone was icy and full of resentment. “I’ve


    looked into it. Those reporters were all arranged by you! You knew you had issues with Be, yet you


    deliberately provoked her by bringing people along. You willingly walked into trouble like a clown. Who


    else can you me but yourself?! Stay away from me! Stop bothering me!”


    “Greg! You can’t do this to me… Greg!”


    Amid their heated struggle, a resounding crash echoed.


    The wooden box in Gregory’s palm fell to the ground with a loud thud, its contents spilling out.


    As Gregory witnessed Mary’s jewelry scattered all over and the jade bracelet he had once gifted her


    now shattered into two pieces, rage surged within him.


    His eyes zed with fiery anger, turning a fierce crimson as he red fiercely at Shannon. His sharp


    gaze seemed to be on the verge of piercing through her very soul.


    Shannon, taken aback by Gregory’s intense stare, paled even further at the sight of the items on the


    ground.


    She recognized them. Those were Mary’s belongings.


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    Why was he holding onto Mary’s belongings?


    Why would he hold onto mementos of someone long deceased someone he had supposedly forgotten


    for twenty years?


    “Get out, now.”


    “Greg, that was an ident. I…”


    “Get out!”


    Gregory roared angrily, his voice almost hoarse with exertion.


    Late at night, the atmosphere in the study was tranquil, with the silver moonlight streaming in through


    the window, casting a mncholic glow on Gregory’s face.


    His secretary, Paul, entered the room, carrying medication to lower his blood pressure.


    “Chairman, it’ste. You haven’t been feeling welltely. You should get some rest.”


    “You’ve been through a lot tonight,” Gregory said in a low voice, still flipping through the photos left


    behind by Mary.


    Paul was briefly surprised, understanding that Gregory was referring to the incident that got him


    assaulted by Shannon earlier in the day. He smiled indifferently, saying, “I’ve been in your service for


    many years. That was nothing. But I believe Madam Mary wouldn’t bear to see you toil and fret like


    this.


    “Yeah. Mary wouldn’t bear it. She’s always been the mostpassionate person.”


    As he spoke, Gregory’s throat tightened, his eyes reddening heartache.


    “Sir, are you considering drafting divorce papers?” Paul asked cautiously.


    Gregory’s eyes reflected an indescribable sense of mncholy as replied hoarsely, “Not yet. It’s not the


    right time. There are too maplications at the moment. The Salvador family cannot afford any more


    chaos now.”
