Chapter 1108
There was such a disparity in treatment and biased protection.
Who couldn''t see that Justin only had Be in his heart? Does he even know who Zoe was?
Christopher clenched his fists fiercely, and his body gradually became stiff.
‘Why was he always one step behind? Why was this despicable bastard always at Be’s side?’
Wilson Jr’s expression visibly changed, but he still maintained the smile of a wealthy gentleman. “I can see that President
Salvador truly cherishes Ms. Thompson. As for myself, | have been too impulsive without considering Ms. Thompson’s feelings.
Let me finish this ss as a punishment.”
With that, Wilson Jr. emptied his ss.
Justin’s eyes were as deep as ink and unwavering as he also raised his ss and drank it all in one go.
Apuse filled the room, easing the awkward tension.
But Gregory’s expression had turned somber.
“Dad, what exactly is Justin thinking? Wilson Reed Jr. obviously has an interest in Be. Isn''t he offended by his interference ?”
Bethany couldn’t help butin. “For the sake of a woman, Justin disregards the overall situation. Justin’s conduct as
president iscking. Women have always been troublemakers, especially Be.
She is a cmity waiting to happen.
“Can''t you learn from Carrie and be a little more quiet? Which prestigiousdy from a noble family gossips like you do?” Gregory
sternly cast a sideways nce at Bethany, scaring her into silence.
At this moment, Be raised her ss again, smilingly saying, “Come on, let''s all raise a ss to the visit of the Reeds! Cheers!”
“Cheers!”
Under the infectiously radiant smile of Be, everyone became cheerful again. They picked up their sses and drank the
champagne.
Only Shannon remained hidden in the corner, tightly gripping her ss but not daring to take a sip.
“Hey, Mrs. Salvador, why aren’t you drinking?” Be suddenly turned her gaze to the pale-faced Shannon, smiling lightly. “It’s
such a joyous moment with esteemed guests present. Don’t you want to celebrate with us? Is the champagne prepared by the
Iverson family not to your taste?”
Shannon’s heart was constricted. She forced a smile on her face as she stared into Be’s eyes. All eyes turned to Shannon,
and indeed, not a drop of champagne had left her cup.
The members of the Iverson family looked dissatisfied. James signaled to Astrid, who had always deferred to her elder brother.
She immediately mocked, “Mrs. Salvador, as the wife of Chairman Salvador, you must have had your fair share of fine wines.
Our Iverson family’s offerings must be beneath your notice.”
Shannon understood the Iverson family’s antagonism toward them, especially Astrid, who had given her numerous troubles at
previous events. Astrid had finally seized this opportunity to mock her relentlessly.
“| didn’t mean that. Please don''t

Before she could finish speaking, Justin intervened and said, “Aunt
Shannon, you''re too modest. Every
time the family hosts a nquety you
always erie Urifkify (he most. On
such a celebratory day as today, you
don''t have to be so reserved.”
“Aunt Shannon?” It sounded like Justin was addressing his nanny.
Everyone looked at each other with amusement.
So, after all these years of toiling in
the Salvador family, Justin had
acknowledge(Stiannbhs Status as
Gory''s wife. Did Grant also
address her like this? If so, it was
truly pathetic!
Shannon’s body trembled violently. Her heavy makeup barely concealed the resentment on her face.
