Adeep and majestic voice emerged from the back, causing the frenzied situation to abruptly quiet down.


    Everyone paused for a moment and then bowed together. “Chairman Salvador.”


    “Dad?” Bethany felt briefly flustered, feeling helpless and awkward.N?velDrama.Org content rights.


    Suddenly, Gregory and Paul appeared behind her, seemingly out of nowhere! Wasn''t he supposed to be on a business trip? How


    did he suddenlye back?


    “What were you doing just now? Did youy your hands on someone?” Gregory''s expression turned icy as he inquired, his


    brows slightly furrowed with suppressed anger.


    “Dad, | can exin. It’s the servants’ fault!” Bethany quickly adopted a sorrowful look and hurried to embrace her father’s arm,


    appea a mistreated little rabbit.


    “The servants were gossiping about Mom and me behind our b Their behavior was so disrespectful and appalling! Our family p


    their wages, but they don’t even adhere to basic professional ethic as employees should. Dad, please fire all of them right away!”


    “Did you resort to physical violence for that reason?” Gregory paid no heed to her protests and continued with a serious


    expression. “Just because you belong to the Salvador family and they are servants, does that justify your actions of hitting


    someone? Have you forgotten all the manners | taught you about treating others? Or is this how you have always behaved in


    private, only revealing it today?”


    “Dad, what are you saying?” Bethany’s heart raced with anxiety as she looked at Gregory in disbelief.


    “They insulted Mom and me... Do you think | was wrong? How can you say that?!”


    But despite her objections, Gregory remained unmoved. His expression was dark and indifferent.


    The servants approached with the intention of bidding their farewells.


    Even though Gregory held a high position as the head of the Salvador family, he always treated even the mostmon workers


    withpassion and courtesy, never disrespecting their dignity with his influence and power.


    Despite his ws, Gregory still maintained the attitude of an aristocrat, distinguishing him from newly-made billionaires in society.


    “The smooth operation of Tideview Manor each day relies heavily on your diligent efforts. | deeply appreciate all the hard work


    you’v in over the years, and | truly hope that you won''t consider resig because of this incident. If you were to leave, it would be


    incredib difficult to find another employee as dedicated as yourself. Today''s issue was caused by my daughter, and | will make


    sure that she apologizes to you.”


    “Bethany, apologize,” Gregory said with a serious expression while looking at Bethany.


    “Dad... What are you saying?”


    Bethany was fuming inside but managed to hold back her initial reaction. ‘Are you out of your mind?!


    “Regardless, resorting to violence is never eptable. It goes against the manners | have taught you since you were a child. It


    damages our family’s reputation as well. Apologize right away,” Gregory demanded firmly, leaving no room for negotiation.


    Forced by the circumstances, Bethany reluctantly looked at her embarrassed reflection and gritted her teeth before muttering an


    apology to the staff. “I’m sorry, it was entirely my fault.”


    Bethany, who was arrogant and self-righteous, felt deeply humiliated at this moment.


    At that instant, all the servants bowed at the same time and greeted them. “Hello, Ms. Carrie.”


    Gregory turned around in surprise and saw Ryan holding Carrie’s hand as they walked together.


    They resembled a newly married coupleing home, looking so sweet together.


    Strangely enough, Gregory had not noticed it before, but now not deny how well-matched they were for each other.


    What really touched Gregory, though, was Ryan’s affectionate gaze Carrie. It was a gaze familiar to him deeply warm and filled


    with intense affection.
