NovelEnglishBethany said, "Also, you work so hard every day! You exhausted yourself for the company, yet Grandpa doesn't appreciate it at all. How could he embarrass you like that in front of others? It's truly disheartening." Bethany not only smeared her sister but also stabbed her grandfather in the back. With Shannon dead, the only person left in the Salvador family she could rely on was Gregory.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSince the old man was no longer on her side, she decided to sow discord to further worsen the relationship between father and son.
Sure enough, Gregory's face darkened like the bottom of a pot after Bethany finished speaking. She was secretly pleased. Suddenly, she remembered Shannon mentioning that her father and uncle had conflicts, so she decided to use this to deepen the rift. "Dad, what do you think Grandpa means? Does he still believe that Uncle Gary can cback to life?" Paul looked at Bethany in shock.
Gregory's large hand on the table clenched tightly. He slowly lifted his eyelids, and the unprecedented coldness in his eyes made Bethany shiver.
"What did you say?" "Dad, I heard... Grandpa has always favored Uncle Gary and has shown little care for you. As the eldest son, you were supposed to inherit the family business unless you were weak and sickly like my big brother Grant. I think Grandpa seemed very dissatisfied with you being the head of the family. Hmph, but what can he do if he's dissatisfied? Can he bring Uncle Gary back to life? Ah!" Before Bethany could finish her sentence, Gregory suddenly flew into a rage and slapped her hard. The force was so strong that it left Bethany with a splitting headache. She could even see stars.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGregory pointed at her swollen and disheveled face, his eyes wide with fury. "Both your grandfather and Gary are your elders! Who gave you the right to speak ill of them? Get out of here!" Bethany's mind was blank as she clutched her face and ran out of the study, terrified.
Gregory suddenly collapsed back into his chair, panting heavily. His face was as pale as a sheet of paper, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.
Paul hurriedly brought the tea. "Chairman Salvador, please drink stea. Don't get too worked up. You need to take care of your health." Gregory tried to pick up the teacup, but his hand trembled so much that he failed repeatedly.
"Paul, do you think my father has always suspected me?" Paul's pupils contracted. He knew Gregory was referring to the incident thirty years ago when Nigel's favorite second son died of a heart attack in prison.
"No, he probably hasn't suspected you," Paul whispered, even though they were alone in the study. "If he had suspected you, why would he let you inherit the Salvador family business? Just based on this, he must not have suspected you were involved in that matter." 1 Gregory held his head with his trembling hands. His eyes were clouded as he said, "But now he is giving the business that I couldn't control to Justin. Isn't that enough to show that he has always harbored resentment toward me? He never intended forto be the heir, did he? He choseonly because Gary died. And now that the younger generation has grown up and can surpass us, he is eager to let Justin take control of Salvador Corporation. He overstepped his bounds!" "You're overthinking this. YoungMaster Justinis indeed very capable, which is why Old Master Nigel trusts him with important responsibilities," Paul continued to comfort him. "Besides, you are bound by blood. When you retire, the Salvador family will still belong to е Young Master Justin. It won't fall into the hands of outsiders." "That may be true, but Justin's heart has never been withbecause of his mother! Now, he is getting closer to the old man and has allied with Bella. If he further consolidates his power in Salvador Corporation, my only outcwill be forced retirement, subject to his whims." Gregory's eyes snapped open, his expression turning sinister. "Booka ticket to Meridan. I miss Grant. It's tfor a visit."
