Chapter 43
Shannon said, “But my sister’s family is innocent. They do honest business, and it’s really unfair that they are being slandered for no reason this time. Moreover, Rose is about to marry Justin…”
“Honest business? They’re profiteers!” Nigel sneered.
Shannon’s expression froze.
“I’m not senile! Even though I’m retired, I still know what’s going on. The Gold family brought this
upon
themselves because they’re not doing honest business. You don’t need to use Justin as an excuse either. If he marries that woman, I won’t acknowledge him as my grandson! You all can move out! If I die one day, I don’t need you all to be at my funeral!”
“Dad…” Gregory sighed.
Shannon sobbed, but her eyes were extremely sinister.
She thought, ‘I’ve had enough of this old troll! I’ve been suppressed for more than 20 years! I wish
he’d just die a horrible death!’
“Grandpa!”
Justin strode in and hurriedly reached out to soothe Nigel’s back. But Nigel pushed him away.
“You don’t need to pretend! You’re just like your father, brainwashed and used by that family of
shrews!”
“I won’t help the Gold family. I have already made my stance clear.” Justin’s eyes were particularly
calm.
Nigel’s eyes suddenly lit up. “Really?!”
“Yes, Gold Corporation is at fault, so I won’t help them.”
“What about you and that woman?”
“It has nothing to do with Rose. Our wedding will proceed as usual.” Justin’s eyes were indifferent.
“Hmph! Forget it. At least you’re self-aware, much better than your stupid father!” Nigel waved his hand disapprovingly.
Nigel did not understand what was wrong with his grandson. Why did Justin divorce Anna just to marry that slut?
“Aunt Shannon.”
Justin looked at Shannon and said in a deep voice, “I understand that you want to help the Gold family because Mrs. Gold is your biological sister. But you can only help them if it doesn’t harm the interests of Salvador Corporation. Otherwise, don’t you think that you’re being contrary to what you advocated-to ‘serve the Salvador family wholeheartedly’?”
Shannon was rendered speechless. Her face turned red.
She thought, ‘This bastard! He’s been unfeeling since he was a kid, and now he’s so ruthless!’
“Although Rose is my fiancée, I know my stance. I never mix my personal feelings with work matters. Dad, as the chairman, you should always put the interests of the company first.” Justin looked at
Gregory.
Justin was unemotional and professional. He did not care that Gregory was his father.
Gregory’s face darkened. He knew that he was in the wrong, so he said, “I’m not helping the Gold family because of Shannon. I just came back from attending a summit in Inalia. I was supposed to meet a partner for a big foreign project, but he suddenly canceled the meeting. Later, I learned that Asher Thompson, the CEO of KS Group, intercepted him. I don’t know what benefits Asher promised him, but he decided not to cooperate with our company anymore. Everything that happened to us is related to the Thompson family. It’s obvious that they are targeting us. I won’t let them get their way and ride over our heads!”
“That happened?” Nigel’s eyes darkened.
The Salvador family in Savrow and the Thompson family in Hatchbay were bitter rivals for hundreds of years. Old Mrs. Thompson even said that she would not allow her descendants to marry anyone from the Salvador family. The Thompson family were also formidable business rivals to the Salvador family.
It was clear that Asher wanted revenge when he intercepted Salvador Corporation’s hotel project and this project abroad.
Wait a second!
Justin was startled. He asked, “Dad, did you just say that you met Asher in Inalia?”
“Yes.”
“Today?”
“Yeah.”
How was that possible?
Asher went to the hospital to pick up Anna this afternoon. How did he have a clone in Inalia?
Was the man Justin saw in the afternoon not Asher?
If he was not Asher, then who was he?
