No?!
Shannon and Bethany were stunned to hear this from Justin, so much so that they forgot to cry and
act angry.
âJustin! You rebel!â Gregory was so angry that his blood pressure rose.
His illegitimate son, whom Gregory had never favored, rarely disobeyed him. Now that Justin was the
president of Salvador Corporation, he dared to say ânoâ to Gregory.
Justin was in a daze. He did not expect that he would blurt out ânoâ so smoothly.
âWhat on earth are you thinking?! You wanted to divorce Anna in the first place! You were the one who
insisted on marrying Rose! Youâre saying no when I ask you to finalize the divorce with Anna
immediately? Do you think you can keep multiple women? Do you think that marriage is childâs play?!
How could I raise such an imbecile like you?!â
âKeep multiple women? Ha, thatâs right.â
Justin was irritated. He narrowed his eyes and mocked Gregory. âSince weâre father and son, I should
regard you as my role model.â
âYou bastard!â
Gregory was so angry that he rushed over and slapped Justin hard on the face.
This slap was so loud that it frightened Bethany.
There was a large palm print on Justinâs pale face.
âOh, Greg! If you have something to say, just use your mouth. Donât hit Justin! Justin is just young and
impulsive, so he may offend you when he speaks. Itâs not worth it to fight over something like this and
hurt your relationship.â
Shannon hurriedly came over to Gregory, but she secretly sneered in her heart. She was secretly
overjoyed that Gregory hit Justin and felt that her anger had been vented.
âShannon, I know that youâre a loving mother and have treated this brat as your own since he was a
child, but you spoiled him too much. You dared not hit or scold him. Look at him now! You have spoiled
him so much that heâs insolent!â Gregoryâs palm was numb from the slap, and his face was redder than
Justinâs.
âHe will always be a child to me, Greg. Besides, Iâm not his biological mother, so itâs not easy for Justin
to accept me. If Iâm not kind to him, heâll alienate himself from me. I just want to be a good mother to
him.â Shannon suddenly stood up as she spoke. She looked so pitiful.
Every one of those words seemed like she was showing weakness, but in fact, she was adding fuel to
the fire.
Justin curled his lips mockingly. He had seen Shannonâs trick since he was a child, but he had never
exposed her.
That was because he knew that Gregory did not care about him at all. If Justinâs eldest brother had not
been recuperating in Meridan, Justin would never have had the chance to be the president of Salvador
Corporation.
Justin was never favored by Gregory, so it was useless no matter what he did.
âA child? Heâs already thirty! Stop making excuses for him!â
Gregory pointed at Justinâs face and roared. âYou have to do these two things for me right away!
Finalize your divorce with Anna immediately and ask her to apologize to Bethany in person.
Immediately suppress the trending topic about Bethany and quell this matter.â
Justin smiled with a gloomy face and said, âDad, is this how you negotiate business with people? Do
you slap them first and then make demands?â
âWhat⦠What did you say?!â Gregory was stunned.
âEven if you are my biological father, I feel that we should keep work and our private matters separate,
especially when it concerns the companyâs interests. I wonât make any compromises. Anna and I canât
finalize the divorce yet because I promised Grandpa that we wouldnât do it until his 80th birthday. I
wonât go back on my word. As for the negative news online, I advise Bethany to make a public apology.
Other than that, I wonât interfere.â
âJustin! You!â
Gregoryâs eyes turned red, and he raised his hand high. Just as he was about to slap Justin again,
Justin caught his wrist.
âDad, Iâm 30 years old now, so do you think that you can still beat me into submission?â Justinâs eyes
were frigid.
Gregory narrowed his eyes, and he felt a dull pain in his wrist.
