The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

Chapter 267
Tears streamed down Shannon’s cheeks, she stared at Gregory with pitiful eyes and said, “I thought I would never see you
again. These past few days have been like a living hell for me! I was so scared, Greg...”
Gregory sympathized with Shannon. He could see that his beloved wife was in distress.
However, with a heap of troubles that accumulated over the past few days, he lacked the mood to comfort her.
Just then, the television mounted on the wall began broadcasting the news, capturing their attention.
Much to their surprise, the news showed the signing ceremony of the collaboration between Asher, president of the KS Group,
and the project leaders of the Baxim development, including Mayor Solloway. In the footage, Asher exchanged contracts with
Mayor Solloway, warmly shaking hands. The flashing cameras below captured this significant moment.
Justin stared at the screen intently. His grip tightened around the teacup, so much so that the veins on his forearm were bulging.
His usually composed face turned frosty as a feeling of anger arose in his heart.
At the same time, Gregory’s expression turned gloomy. He thought, ‘That bratty girl snatched away a perfectly good project!’
Shannon’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly hugged Gregory’s arm and complained bitterly.” This time, Bella has crossed the
line! What did our family do to offend her? Not only did she snatch the project, but she also wanted to send me to jail! How can
this woman be so ruthless? Throughout her three years of marriage to Justin, the Salvador family treated her with kindness. How
can she repay kindness with enmity?!”
Upon hearing these accusations, Justin felt an unsettling discomfort. He calmly set down his teacup and said, “Is having Bella
cook for you for the past three years your so-called kindness?”
Shannon, filled with anger, clenched her teeth. “Bella made that choice voluntarily. No one forced her!”
“Shannon.” Gregory, who had remained silent throughout the conversation, suddenly said, ” There’s something I need to tell
you.” He continued, “The appointment letter has been issued. From now on, Justin will be the president of the Salvador
Corporation and deputy chairman of the board. That’s final.” Gregory’s words exploded in her ears like thunder.
“Greg... What are you saying? Why...” Shannon asked in shock. Her face turned pale in an
instant.

Gregory pursed his lips and chose to remain silent for a moment.
Justin squinted, understanding the complex bond between them. Gregory found it difficult to speak on this matter, yet he was
willing to shoulder the burden.
Justin interjected, “You’re well aware of the reason, Aunt Shannon. A high-ranking executive who has just undergone a
prosecutor’s investigation, carrying charges of bribery, abuse of power, and corruption-how could such an individual hold onto a
pivotal role in the company? If this were to be public knowledge, the management of Salvador Corporation
would become a laughingstock in the business circles of Savrow.”
Shannon shouted, “Bella framed me! She used my cousin’s predicament to take revenge and set me up!”
Her eyes were bloodshot as she stood up abruptly. Driven by anger and distress, the world turned dark before her eyes. She
exclaimed, “Zephyr orchestrated everything! He has already confessed to it! It has nothing to do with me! Why can’t I be the
deputy chairman of the board?!”
Justin smirked as he calmly stood up and left the room. He could not be bothered by the woman before him. Internally, Shannon
was madly cursing Justin, ‘Bastard! That heartless bastard!’
She held on tightly to Gregory’s stiff arm and said, “Gregory! I’m innocent... I was
manipulated by that little bitch, Bella! You promised me that position... How could you give it to him?”
“Shannon, though I am the chairman of Salvador Corporation, it is a publicly listed company with shareholders and board
members. It’s not solely my decision. In a situation like this, how can I still support you in taking that position?”
Gregory took a deep breath, forcefully withdrawing his arm from her grip, and said, “Also, are you truly innocent?”
“Gregory, are you doubting me? I’m your wife! We’ve been married for 25 years... You know what kind of person I am. How can
you believe those rumors and gossip?” Shannon’s heart skipped a beat, attempting to mask her guilt. Gregory frowned and
looked at her intensely. He said nothing and left.
His gaze struck Shannon like a sharp bolt of lightning, piercing through her soul. She thought, ‘It’s over. After all the effort and
schemes, everything is taken away from me!’
