The incident with Shannon at the race track plunged Salvador Corporation into deep turmoil.


    As the head of the family, Nigel gave Gregory an ultimatum.


    Shannon could rot in prison, but if Gregory still thought she was worth saving, Nigel intended to cut him


    offpletely.


    However, Gregory had his own concerns.


    If he were to turn his back on Shannon, the public would have a go at him, calling him out for being a


    heartless capitalist who used his wife as a pawn.


    His first marriage with an heiress of the Fowler family ended. His second wife was rumored to suffer


    from depression due to his neglect and had jumped to her death. His third wife, Shannon suspected of


    using.


    Gregory did not want to give the public another reason to mock h He did not want to hear that things


    would not end well if no wom was involved with him.


    To protect his pride, he could not let Shannon be a criminal.


    Gregory was in for a surprise, though.


    Justin bypassed him, the chairman, and held a meeting with higher management.


    Shannon was relieved of all her duties.


    The meeting was over before Gregory could make it there. When the chairman arrived on the scene,


    the senior executives were just getting up to leave. They fell silent and gave the chairman a nod.


    “I expect an exnation, Justin. Why did you host the meeting without my permission?” Fury drove


    Gregory to press for answers on the spot.


    “It’s just a regr meeting. It’s no different from any other day.”


    Justin sunk his back into his seat, a pen twirling between his fingers. His eyes were hard to read. “I’m


    the president. Shouldn’t I preside over meetings? Why are you getting worked over this?”


    “You have overstepped by dismissing Shannon without notifying me. You should have included me in


    the important decision-making process. These are rules.” Gregory was livid.


    “It’s toote.”


    Justin’s eyes were cold. “The entire nation is waiting for o ision on Shannon, but you made no


    comment for three days. T at the horse racing event is not going anywhere. Salvador Co can’t take


    another hit. As the president of thispany, I nee make a call. I see no reason why you would oppose


    my decision unless you are delusional enough to still want to save Shannon.”


    Rage overcame Gregory. “Justin!”

    “Shannon has broken thew multiple times by lining her pockets and using drugs. No individual with


    any ounce of self-respect would continue to work at thepany that they had ruined. What did she


    ever do to help thepany anyway?” Justin smirked.


    “Shannon is just under investigation. She is not convicted. A lot of things don’t add up. For all we know,


    Shannon could have been framed.”


    The senior executives did not know how to react.


    “How was Shannon framed to inject drugs into herself when no one is around to force her?”


    “That’s the strange part. The timing is suspicious. Shannon isn’t one to be sloppy.”


    Gregory regretted the moment the words left his lips.


    Judging by what he said, everybody deduced that Shannon had not been caught before because she


    acted cautiously.


    Sure enough, the people made faces.


    Losing patience, Justin grimaced. “I have approved an internal and external notice about Shannon’s


    dismissal. I can’t take back my words now.”


    Justin rose to his feet, adjusted his Windsor knot, and walked off.


    “Don’t forget who you are, Justin! I am the chairman of Salvador Corporation. I make the decisions


    around here.”


    With blood boiling, Gregory put his finger up to Justin’s face. “Do you think you’re safe because you’re


    the president? Don’t forget that you’re not my only son. I made you the president, but I can make Grant


    the president too. When Grantes back, trust me when I say that you will be out of the family


    business.”


    Everybody present held their breaths in fright.
