Chapter 23
“Justin, have you found out what happened?” Gregory asked with a frown as he comforted
his wife.
“I found out. The person who exposed this news is the newly appointed general manager
of KS World Hotel, Bella Thompson.”
Justin lowered his eyelids, deliberately avoiding the loving couple in front of him.
In his memory, Gregory had never shown such tenderness to his mother or to him.
Perhaps Gregory had already forgotten what Justin’s mother looked like.
“The Thompson family from Hatchbay?!”
Shannon covered her mouth and exclaimed, “That’s the richest family in Hatchbay! How
could my sister’s family offend them?!”
“We have never had any interactions with the Thompson family because our forefathers
had a deep grudge against each other. Wyatt Thompson’s great-grandmother swore an
oath that no one in the Thompson family could ever marry a Salvador. Anyone who
disobeys this will be disowned by the Thompson family and will not be allowed to inherit
anything.”
Justin did not care about this because the person he wanted to marry was Rosalind, not
Bella Thompson.

“OMG! The Thompsons must be targeting Gold Corporation so that they can indirectly
target us, especially since Rose will be marrying Justin soon. They are so petty!” Shannon
angrily clenched the silk handkerchief in her hand.
“Justin, you should see Ms. Thompson tomorrow and find a way to stop her from attacking
the Golds. This isn’t just their problem now. It’ll also affect our family’s reputation!”
Gregory’s tone was extremely stern.
“Oh, Greg, don’t be so stern with Justin. He has always been an obedient child.” Shannon
massaged her husband’s shoulder and spoke in a soft voice.
“I’m only saving the Gold family for Rose’s sake. It has nothing to do with anyone else,
Aunt Shannon.”
Justin’s charming eyes were deep and cold. After saying that, he turned around and left.
Shannon turned pale with anger.
She was the wife of Salvador Corporation’s chairman, but Justin still called her Aunt
Shannon. What an insult!
“Stop! Why are you still calling her Aunt Shannon? Shannon is know your manners?!”
Gregory stood up and yelled.

wife and your mother. Don’t you
Justin stopped, but he did not turn around. “You can have several wives, but I will only
have one mother. So don’t make things difficult for me.”
Asher went to Savrow to see Bella that night. During dinner, they talked about Michael
Gordon and the Gold family.
“Dad already knows your strategy, and he didn’t object. He only said we shouldn’t let
them get away with it if what happened was true and the evidence was conclusive.” Asher
helped his sister cut up her
steak.
“Wyatt is such a scumbag when it comes to women, but he’s very capable in other
aspects.” Bella ate a piece of medium-rare steak and squinted her clear eyes while
chewing.
“That’s why our three stepmothers are so devoted to him. Apart from being a playboy,
Dad is a good person. He hasn’t mistreated any of his wives.”
“Right. No one will ever know the woes of the dead anyway, since stories are only told by
those who are alive.” Bella lowered her eyelashes and stabbed her fork into the steak.
Asher stared at his sister’s eyes, which were gradually turning red. He stroked the top of
her head and said, “I know that you no longer hate our stepmothers. You just can’t let go

thought that maybe Mom would have stopped blaming Dad a long time ago?
“How can I not resent him? I’m sure his wives are just putting up with him. No woman will
be able to
share her husband with other women…”
Bella’s breath hitched.
She was the same. Even though she knew that Justin had a childhood sweetheart, she still
fell head over heels in love with him and devoted her heart and soul to that man. In the
end, she was ruthlessly
abandoned.
Wyatt was a womanizer, but he took care of all his women well. But Justin ignored her for
the past three years. Moreover, he stabbed her in the heart again and again.
She was so blind to have loved this heartless man for 13 years!
“Justin has been quiet these two days. He hasn’t called me.” Asher took a sip of red wine.
“Oh, that’s because he’s busy cleaning up the mess of his sweetheart’s family. How would
he have
time for me?”
Bella shook the wine glass leisurely. Her bright eyes were oppressive.
“Anna Brown is too weak. Now, it’s time for him to meet Bella Thompson!”
