Clearly, Justin was humiliating her. Sure enough, the way everyone. looked at her gradually changed,
revealing a trace of contempt and disdain.
âEven if youâre the president, you canât handle the decisions of the. companyâs board arbitrarily! The
chairman should make a decision in this situation! How can you act unilaterally?!â Shannon found
herself helpless and could only bring up Gregory to suppress him.
Justinâs thin lips curled slightly as he asked with a light tone, âMs. Quarry, are you implying that the
chairman will definitely tolerate Bethanyâs actions, even if she is suspected of commercial theft and
fraud? Even if she caused the companyâs stock to plummet by billions, of dollars overnight, the
chairman would still want to preserve her position on the board just because sheâs the chairmanâs
daughter?â
Justin asked several questions in a row. Each question was like a knife, striking at the heart of the
matter!
The senior executives looked at Shannon with sharp scrutiny.
Shannon was angered to the point where her whole body felt cold and numb. Her scalp tingled with
humiliation, as if she were stripped. naked in public.
âI understand that thereâs no absolute fairness in the workplace. The fairness we see is like a gorgeous
robe, and when you flip it open, itâs infested with lice.â Justinâs eyes shined brightly as he spoke with
conviction, âHowever, as long as I am the president of this company, I will not let these lice wreak
havoc. As long as I am here, they will not see the light of day.â
He didnât utter a single word of insult toward Shannon. But Shannon felt like she had been verbally
splattered with blood and mud.
As his words fell, the scene suddenly became quiet. A few seconds later, the eyes of the senior
executives sparkled, evidently moved by Justinâs resolute speech, and applause thundered through the
room.
The news of Shannon causing a scene in the high-level meeting quickly circulated throughout the
company. Employees gathered around the pantry, laughing about the chairmanâs wife and her absurd
clown-like behavior.
âCan you believe she barged into a board meeting like that? What kind. of manners is that? Itâs not
even appropriate for a dog!â
The news of Bethanyâs dismissal was also sent out to everyone via email.
âWell, sheâs finally removed. Thank goodness for small mercies!â
âWhat small mercies? Itâs thanks to Mr. Salvador! When I get back, Iâm putting up Mr. Salvadorâs
handsome photo for daily worship. Heâs the true deity!â
âDoes this count as cutting ties with oneâs own kin?â
âNah! This is righteous retribution! Besides, they are just half siblings.â
âHahaha, I donât care! Bethany had it coming!â
Although there was no salary increase or bonus, it was immensely satisfying to see the mother-and-
daughter pair suffer a setback. Back in the office, lan was so excited that he almost jumped in joy.
âMr. Salvador! Itâs so satisfying to see that old hag take such a big hit and become the laughingstock of
the entire company! Even a foot massage doesnât feel as good!â
Justin gave lan a casual glance and remarked, âDo you often go for foot massages? Are you under a
lot of stress working for me?â
âUh, well⦠Not exactly!â lan waved his hands awkwardly. âItâs a metaphor! A metaphor, Mr. Salvador!â
âHas the investigation begun?â Justin walked to the sofa and seated himself elegantly.
âI heard that Young Madamâs secretary has submitted evidence to the prosecutor, and a media ban has
been issued. Bethany canât escape. now.â lan was so delighted that he called Bethany by name without
reservation.
âHmm.â Justinâs gaze remained profound, and his expression. remained calm. After all, it wasnât him
but Bella who would be dealing with Shannon and Bethany. He simply wanted to help her in any way.
he could.
âBy the way, Mr. Salvador, I inquired at the hospital after that incident.
Young Madam had a stomach cramp and remained at the hospital until midnight.â lan frowned.
Justin pressed his thin lips tightly, his heart entangled in an indescribable worry that tightened with
each passing moment.
âSo⦠Do you want to find an excuse to go see Young Madam? How about I buy some medicine and
deliver it to her on your behalf?â
âDo I need an excuse to go see her?â Justinâs brows furrowed with frustration.
âNo, of course not,â lan stammered.
Justin added, âBesides, why would I go and deliver anything to her?â
