Chapter 306
Shannon broke out in a cold sweat as she walked back to the dining hall, deep in thought. ‘How dare that little bitch Rosalind threaten me!’
There was no evidence for all the little things Shannon did, so she was not afraid.
However, Gregory was no longer as affectionate to her as before. If Rosalind added fuel to the fire, Shannon’s situation in the Salvador family would worsen.
At this moment, Shannon wanted to help Rosalind settle her debts, but she did not want to pay out of her own pocket. Thus, she would shamelessly stage a crying and pitiful scene in front of Gregory.
Greg, although Rose made a mistake, you’ve watched her grow up, so you know how well- behaved and sensible she used to be. Now that my sister is in prison and my brother-in-law has become a vegetable, Rosalind has no way to make ends meet. She’s so frightened by the debt collectors that she dares not return home. After all, I raised her too, so I can’t bear to see her like this.”
Shannon placed her slender hand on the back of Gregory’s clenched fist. She had tears in her eyes, as she said, “Greg, you have always been kind-hearted and magnanimous, so just think of this as charity. Let’s help Rose get through this difficult time. That way, you’ll be seen as benevolent and righteous…”
Gregory’s frown relaxed a little. He was getting convinced.
Suddenly, someone slammed the table.
Gregory and Shannon were shocked. Bethany was so frightened that she almost choked on her food.
Justin, who had kept silent, took out a recording pen from his pocket and threw it in front of Gregory and Shannon.
“If you want to help Rosalind, then listen to this first before making a decision.’
Shannon’s heart was beating like a drum. She could not figure out what Justin was playing at.
Gregory picked up the recorder with a puzzled look and pressed the play button. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
It was a conversation between two people. One of them was Memphis, and the other was Rosalind.
“Don’t do anything to Bella until I give you the green light. The situation has improved now that I’ve regained Justin’s trust. Gregory has even agreed to our marriage, so we should be announcing our engagement soon.”
“Well, now that Justin and you are all sorted, what about the $5 million…?”
–“Is it really necessary for you to rush me for that small amount of money? I will wire you $50,000 first. Go ahead and waste it all. Once Justin and I have finalized everything and the engagement ceremony is wrapped up, I’ll transfer the balance to you.”
When the recording ended, there was dead silence in the dining hall.
Shannon’s face turned frosty. She regretted interceding for Rosalind now.
‘What a dumb cow! Why would she leave traces of her misdeed?! She really deserves what’s coming to her!”
“Aunt Shannon, is this the sweet girl you raised?”
Justin’s eyes were bloodshot. He sneered. “You should be lucky that my ex-wife was smart enough to nip your niece’s treacherous plan in the bud. Otherwise, if anything happens to Bella, Rosalind will end up much worse than she is now. I have ways to make her life worse than death.”
Shannon gasped and stared at Justin’s ruthless eyes in disbelief.
She thought that Justin was like his father-emotional, indecisive, and clingy.
After all, Justin had been loyal to Rosalind for so many years. Even if Rosalind betrayed him, it would not be easy to sever the emotional bond of more than ten years.
Shannon did not expect Justin to be so cold and heartless. Those feelings he had for Rosalind were clearly long gone.
“Rosalind just treats me and our family as an ATM and a means to climb the social ladder. Who can guarantee that she will actually use the money to save Patrick Gold and the Gold Corporation when she gets the money? She might even be up to no good.”
Justin picked up a napkin and wiped his lips. Then he stood up slowly and gracefully, all the while staring at them coldly. “Chairman Salvador, if you want to do charity, there are hundreds of welfare homes and nursing homes in Savrow and millions of schools across the country that you can offer your kindness to. Why would you want to waste your money on a woman with ulterior motives?”
