The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

Chapter 802
The atmosphere in the hospital ward was tense.
In the past, Shannon held a special place in Gregory’s heart, receiving his utmost care and attention. Although Gregory could not
guarantee his presence by Shannon’s sick bed every day, he consistently expressed deep concern whenever she faced a minor
ailment. Even amidst his busiest schedule, he would still try to visit her every day.
However, three days had elapsed without Gregory’s presence, a scenario previously deemed implausible.
“Greg...”
Shannon leaned weakly against the bed’s headboard and delicately / wiped her trembling, powder-coated lips. Her tear-filled
eyes fixed on Gregory. “Have you been busy lately? I guess you’ve been caught up with the company’s affairs and couldn’t find
time to visit me... My condition is nothing serious, just a perforated eardrum. It’s not a big
deal... I’ve already undergone surgery...
Shannon’s words were cut short by Gregory’s somber interruption.”
Shannon, I’m here with a question. Was everything Bella mentioned
the other day true?”
Shannon was startled by Gregory’s question. Her eyes quivered
intensely.

“Greg, after all this time, you’re still questioning my loyalty? I’m your wife. You know how devoted I am to you! I’ve given birth to
two daughters for you, nearly losing my life giving birth to Carrie. I’ve
sacrificed so much for you.... Why would I even consider being disloyal to you by associating with someone accused of murder?”
“Greg, have you stopped loving me? When love fades, suspicion taints every action, and every word will be deemed wrong!”
Shannon’s words overflowed with anger, yet her heart quivered with
fear.
All the resentful questioning was nothing but a cover for Shannon’s inner panic and turmoil.
“I’m not referring to the man named Harry Young. I’ll look into whatever is between you two on my own.”
Gregory’s expression remained composed. “I’m talking about Celeste. Were you the one behind the attack on her?”
“No! No! It wasn’t me!”
Shannon vehemently protested, her voice strained. “Why would I want to harm her? What would I even gain from hurting her?
Why would I
take such a risk?”
Gregory simply watched Shannon protest, his hand clenching tightly around his phone, which had turned warm from his touch.
During the past three days, Gregory instructed his secretary to discreetly investigate the relationship between Shannon and
Harry. Although it had not unfolded precisely like what Bella had described- where Shannon had exchanged sentimental items

like her necklace with him-there was some truth to it, Shannon did indeed know Harry. They had even crossed paths on multiple
occasions during their time
at TS Channel.
Another revelation came to light. Despite the absence of call records between Shannon and Harry, Gregory took precautionary
measures and got ahold of Bethany’s communication logs.
Among the many numbers, one did not align with Bethany’s social
circle.
Upon further investigation, Gregory discovered that the number lacked registration under a real name. However, its location
coincided with the direction of Harry’s rented house.
After learning about this, Gregory’s heart sank at once.
Bethany was born in the elite circle. All her life, she has associated solely with high society and has never befriended anyone
beneath her social circle, let alone visited the slums.
Hence, there was only one possible explanation for using Bethany to establish contact with someone from that IP address.
“Shannon, do you know what attracted me to you the most then?” Gregory took a deep breath and asked.
Shannon was startled once again, her mind scrambling to recall.
She believed that Gregory must have been charmed by her youthful allure and captivating beauty. After all, most men tend to
prioritize physical allure over emotional depth
Yet she had overlooked one crucial aspect.
As the designated heir of the Salvador family, Gregory was born into wealth and privilege.
However, despite the relentless pursuit by elite socialites in Savrow and aspiring female celebrities, none fulfilled their dreams of
becoming his wife.

As for Shannon, she was nothing more than a small-time actress. She lacked Celeste’s beauty, and her family background was
even less
remarkable.
So why did Gregory choose Shannon among the multitude of female celebrities on the TS Channel?
“Because back then, your eyes radiated purity and innocence. I was captivated by your genuine and unassuming nature. You
made me want to protect and cherish you. With you, I found the sense of pride and contentment that every man desires.”
