Gregory said, âBack then, Justin didnât even inform me about the divorce. Now that he wants to cancel
his wedding with Rosalind, he wonât even care about my opinion.â
âHow is that the same?!â
Shannonâs voice was shrill and not as gentle as usual. âJustin doesnât love Bella Thompson at all. He
and Rose are childhood sweethearts. They have deep feelings for each other!â
âRight. I really donât understand why your niece is still not satisfied when they have such deep feelings
for each other. Why canât she just be content and wait for Justin to marry her? Instead, she
insists on finding trouble with Ms. Thompson. What your niece did tonight by tattling in front of Wyatt
before understanding the situation is whatâs embarrassing to the Salvador family! There is absolutely
no way I will help her in this matter. I wonât intervene in her marriage with Justin anymore.â
Gregory thought of his father mocking him and felt stuffy in his chest. He glared at Rosalind and added,
âIf I had known that youâd cause so much trouble, I wouldâve advised Justin not to divorce Bella! Youâre
not only inferior to us in status, but you also keep causing trouble for the family. There is too big of a
gap between you and Justin, so there is no point in forcing a marriage.â
Seeing that Gregory had given up on Rosalind, Shannon slumped her shoulders, feeling as if her plans
to get rich were collapsing.
âAunt Shannon, what should we do now?â Rosalindâs eyes were swollen from crying. She was twitching
and could barely breathe.
âHahaha! You deserve this!â
Bethany no longer looked âunwellâ. She clapped her hands and gloated. âWhy did you use me as a
scapegoat and plot against me? How could a two-faced selfish bitch like you marry my second brother?
Youâd better get out of my house!â
âI⦠How did I use you and plot against you?â
Rosalind was wiping her tears while quibbling. âIt was such a big party, and I couldnât manage on my
own, so I asked you to cooperate with me. That way, we will be able to hit the target accurately.
Besides, I didnât ask you to drug Mr. Hoffman. You were the one who spiked his drink on your own
initiative, complicating things!â
âHow dare you blame me?! You damn bitch! Why didnât I see your true colors sooner? Iâm going to beat
you up!â
Bethany was not a scheming person like Rosalind. She would always choose violence whenever
possible. She rushed up to Rosalind with scarlet eyes and grabbed her diamond hairpin, which was
worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Then she yanked it out, pulling a lock of hair with it. Rosalind
screamed in pain.
Bethany and Rosalind fought like cats in front of Shannon.
âThatâs enough! Stop fighting!â
Shannon roared angrily. Rosalind and Bethany were panting heavily, still pulling at each otherâs hair
with bloodshot eyes.
âIâm going to count to three, and you two better let go of each other! One! Two! Three!â
As soon as Shannon said this, the two unruly women let go of each other.
âBethany, go back to your room first. I have something to say to your cousin.â Shannon raised her
eyebrows coldly.
âMom! Rosalind plotted against me! If she hadnât instigated me tonight, I wouldnât have embarrassed
myself! Mom!â Bethany refused to leave. Her hair was as messy as a chicken coop.
âDonât you think that you should bear some responsibility for this? Iâve told you more than once that you
canât be rash with Mr. Hoffman! But youâre so impatient that you want to bed him at your grandfatherâs
birthday party! How can you be so frivolous?! Iâve taught you better and given you an elite education!
You will only make Mr. Hoffman look down on you even more! Why donât you go back to your room and
reflect on this?!â
Bethany had always been afraid of her mother, so she glared at Rosalind fiercely and turned to leave.
Rosalind clutched her wrinkled skirt and stood frozen on the spot. She felt a chill in her heart.
Right, a true highborn woman would not resort to such despicable means, but what could Rosalind
do?
Shannon would help Bethany get whatever she wanted, but Rosalind had to rely on herself. Shannon
was just using her as a pawn to spy on Justin.
âAunt Shannon, what happened tonightâ¦â
Slap-!
Shannonâs eyes widened with anger as she raised her perfectly manicured hand to slap Rosalind in
the face.
