Chapter 42
Justin pushed open the door and walked into the tailor shop. His large build was almost as
big as the door frame.
The tailor was ironing clothes and looked surprised to see such a handsome man in his
shop.
“Oh! It’s you!”
“Please do me a favor. Money is not an issue.”
Justin frowned slightly and opened the box in front of the tailor.
“Oh my goodness! How did this happen?! How did such fine clothes end up like this?!” The
tailor loved clothes so much that he felt distressed seeing such a wreckage.
“It’s my fault.” Justin felt a bitterness in his throat.
“That girl hand stitched this suit. I watched her work so hard to complete it that I felt tired
on her behalf, as if I had made this suit.”
The old tailor shook his head sadly. “What a pity… Such a waste of effort… It was a fine
suit…”
“Is there any way you can fix it?” Justin asked hurriedly.
“How can I fix this? I can fix the lining that is damaged, but it’s hard to fix the outer

Inexplicably, Justin’s heart clenched after hearing this.
“Please try to fix it up as much as possible. I don’t mind if there are marks. At least sew up
the tears in
the suit.”
As soon as Justin returned to Tideview Manor, he felt an oppressive air around him.
“Justin!”
Shannon’s eldest daughter, Bethany, ran over anxiously. “Grandpa is here. He’s quarreling
with Dad in the study upstairs. It’s quite intense. Please go upstairs and try to appease
him!”
“Why are they quarreling?” Justin cocked an eyebrow.
Justin thought that Gregory liked to give the impression that he was a filial son.
Nigel had high blood pressure and suffered a stroke, so he should not get too agitated.
Gregory did not care about his long-standing reputation as a good son and got into a
head-on conflict with Nigel.
There was only one reason for Gregory to do that-for Shannon.
“Rose is very close to our family. Now that her family is in trouble, it’s only reasonable for
Dad to help, right?”
Bethany was so angry that she stomped her feet. “But Grandpa refused to allow Dad to
help the Gold family. Do you think Grandpa is senile? Helping the Gold family is equivalent
to helping our family, right? Justin, you’re about to marry Rose. If this matter isn’t
resolved, our family will be disgraced.”
Justin’s eyes were gloomy as he went upstairs.
Clang–!
Nigel was sitting in a wheelchair in the study. He picked up the ashtray and teacup from
the coffee
table and threw them on the floor.
The old man was almost 80 years old. But as he got older, his temper became more
erratic. He would sweep things off the table at a hint of disagreement.
Shannon wiped her tears with a silk handkerchief and huddled in Gregory’s arms, crying.
Gregory shielded her with his body. He was afraid that the glass fragments would cut her.
“Dad! Will you calm down? Can’t you just talk properly?”

shitty things!”
Nigel was so angry that he thumped his chest. “What did I tell you? I told you not to
interfere in Gold Corporation’s affairs! How dare you go against me?! You bought their
leftover products and even gave them some of our projects! How the hell did this woman
brainwash you? Do you think I’m dead?!”
“Dad, how could you say that?” Gregory was furious, but he dared not say anything else.
“Am I wrong? Ever since you married this woman, your mind has been muddled!” Nigel
slapped the
armrest.
“Dad… I know that you look down on me, but I have been with Greg for more than 20
years now… I’m a dutiful wife and mother, and I serve the Salvador family wholeheartedly.
I’m cautious and respectful
})
Shannon cried and continued, “I have never disobeyed you, and I have never caused any
trouble to the Salvador family… I know it’s a blessing that I get to marry Greg, so I dare
not ask for anything else
Gregory glanced lovingly at his beloved wife in his arms.
Nigel was immune to her hypocritical attitude. He was so furious that he shook in anger.
