FreeNovelThe news that Bethany was not Gregory's biological daughter spread faster than a virus, making it impossible for the Salvador
Corporation to control the situation even if they wanted to.
Nigel, still hospitalized, was shocked and uncontrollably furious upon hearing the news. He called Gregory over that night.
Bella and Justin were present, but Nigel showed no regard for Gregory's dignity and immediately yelled at him in front of the
youngsters.
“What did | tell you? Things are messy now. Don't act recklessly. Besides, Carrie is still in aa. As her father, you should stay by
her side day and night. Don’t do anything unnecessary!
“Was it so important what others speak of us?pared to my precious granddaughter, your so-called family image is nothing! As
the head of the Salvador family, do you need to scramble to explain yourself to outsiders? Where was your decisiveness when you
were young? How can you be more foolish with age, degrading yourself with every action you take?!”
Nigel's face was pale with rage as he struggled to catch his breath. Bella quickly cforward and patted his back while Justin

image you tried too hard to maintain has already been spat on, thrown into the mud, and trampled upon!”
Regret and shflooded Gregory. He bit his lips, his heart twisting in pain, and his face burning like a boiling kettle.
Although Nigel had always scolded Gregory and had said harsher words to him before, this time, each word felt like a needle
stabbing his face.
Gregory felt too ashamed to show himself because he thought that he was aplete fool, played and deceived by Shannon for
over twenty years.
“Even if | am at fault...” Gregory gritted his teeth, his furious and resentful gaze landing on Justin. “Can your precious grandson say
that he doesn’t have any ulterior motives?”
Justin kept a calm face, his gaze darkening.
Bella could not help rolling her eyes. Gregory was truly unbelievable. Other loving fathers would try to shoulder everything for their
children, but Gregory only knew to shirk responsibility at the slightest sign of trouble. He had no guts at all!
Justin's mother was too gentle and kind. Bella wanted to slap this scumbag.
“He obviously knew Bethany wasn’t my daughter, but he kept it to himself, waiting for today’s press conference to expose it. He
clearly did it to humiliate me! Did he consider the Salvador family’s pride and reputation?!”
“Justin never did things out of line. He did so because he was forced to, thanks to your foolish actions!”
Nigel's trembling finger pointed at Gregory's face as he seethed with anger. “Even if Bethany is not your biological daughter, she
still grew up in the Salvador family and is Carrie's half-sister. She should treat her sister well! But she continuously tried to harm
Carrie, even participating in Zoe Hoffman's kidnapping plan!
“At this point, you still want to cover for her and help her escape her crimes. Say, how could Justin not hate you? How could he not
make a move? Even if he did not, | would have dealt with you myself!”
Gregory was rendered speechless.
“A bad seed... You're a natural-born bad seed! You ungrateful bastard!”
Nigel took a sip of water to calm his emotions. He looked at Justin with confusion. “Justin, how did you know Bethany was not truly

“Grandpa, | didn’t discover it. It was Bella.” Justin wrapped his arms around Bella's shoulder.
“Anna, it's you?!” Nigel was stunned, and Gregory was in disbelief as well.
