Chapter 785
Shannon thought, ‘I’m his stepmother. How dare he disrespe like this in front of everyone?!’
“Well, as the matriarch of the Salvador family, it’s my duty to properly educate the youngsters. Bella, this is Tideview Manor, not
Yara Park!” Shannon glared fiercely at Bella. “I won’t tolerate you spreading baseless accusations and lies here!”
Justin couldn’t stay silent any longer. His once calm eyes now burned with anger. But before he could speak, Bella interrupted
him with a
scornful smile.
“You? The matriarch of the Salvador family? Would Grandpa Nigel
even acknowledge you as that?”
Everyone was shocked upon hearing that. To challenge Shannon so brazenly, Bella truly lived up to her reputation as the bold
young
heiress of KS Group!
Bethany watched Shannon’s face flush with embarrassment before turning pale, unable to maintain her poise. It was like a
blatant slap in
Shannon’s face.
She had considered stepping up to defend her mother, but she knew Ryan and Justin would unconditionally side with Bella.
What troubled her most was her father, Gregory. His silence left her feeling
disheartened. Perhaps it was best to quietly observe the situation for
now.
“Do you honestly have the audacity to call yourself the matriarch of
www
the Salvador family here? You’re merely relying on Chairman Salvador’s favoritism toward you.”
Bella continued, “As far as I know, whether it’s within the entire Salvador family or the elite circles of Savrow, no one truly
acknowledges you as the true matriarch of the Salvador fam
they?”
Bella tilted her head slightly, her hands casually tucked in her pockets. Her bright and arrogant demeanor made her seem
invincible. “The true matriarch of the Salvador family should be none other than Grant’s mother, Chairman Salvador’s first wife,
right?”
Once again, everyone was stunned.
Shannon felt like she had been stabbed in the heart, yet before she could fully process the pain, Bella struck again. “Otherwise, it
should
be Justin’s mother, Mary, right?”
‘Mary...”
‘Mother...”
Justin’s lips pursed together tightly as he stared at Shannon’s pale
face. His hands were clenched so tightly that his nails were digging.
into his palm. His heart pounded heavily in his chest as he recalled
the past.
Back then, when Gregory brought Justin and his mother back to the Salvador family, his first wife, Isla Fowler, had recently
passed away. It had barely been a year since her death.
Isla was the heiress of the Fowler family, and during that period of time, the Fowler family thrived in Savrow, ranking as one of
the most
elite families. They shared a significant partnership with the Salvador Corporation across various business sectors.
Consequently, the
Salvador family couldn’t afford to sever ties with the Fowlers.
