Chapter 1108
There was such a disparity in treatment and biased protection.
Who couldn't see that Justin only had Bella 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 Bella'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, I have been too impulsive
without considering Ms. Thompson's feelings. Let me finish this
glass as a punishment."
With that, Wilson Jr. emptied his glass.
Justin's eyes were as deep as ink and unwavering as he also raised
his glass and drank it all in one go.
Applause 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 Bella. Isn't he offended by his interference ?" Bethany
couldn't help but complain. "For the sake of a woman, Justin disregards the overall situation. Justin's conduct as president is
lacking. Women have always been troublemakers, especially Bella.
She is a calamity waiting to happen.
"Can't you learn from Carrie and be a little more quiet? Which prestigious lady from a noble family gossips like you do?" Gregory sternly cast a sideways glance at Bethany, scaring her into silence.
At this moment, Bella raised her glass again, smilingly saying, "Come
on, let's all raise a glass to the visit of the Reeds! Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
Under the infectiously radiant smile of Bella, everyone became
cheerful again. They picked up their glasses and drank the champagne.
Only Shannon remained hidden in the corner, tightly gripping her glass but not daring to take a sip.
"Hey, Mrs. Salvador, why aren't you drinking?" Bella 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 Bella'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,

Before she could finish speaking, Justin intervened and said, "Aunt

"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
yet to acknowledge Shannon's status as Gregory'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.
