The large hall fell silent.
Bella blinked as she could not help but laugh.
When Justin saw her mischievous expression, he forgot about his pain and just looked at her
wholeheartedly as he smiled slightly in satisfaction.
When everyone saw how Old Master Nigel did not show Gregory any mercy and scolded the master of
Tideview Manor in front of them, they were all shocked.
Considering Gregoryâs status as the chairman of Salvador
Corporation, it was very embarrassing for him to be scolded by his own father in front of the helpers.
How humiliating!
Gregory instantly felt the injury to his pride, and his face rapidly
turned red in humiliation. He ordered through gritted teeth, âButler, disperse the crowd.â
âThat wonât do! This matter must be settled right now in front of everyone. No one is allowed to take a
single step out of this hall!â
Old Master Nigel was truly intimidating.
Bella was quite similar to Old Master Nigel when she was angry. It
was as if she were his biological grandchild.
âDad, what do you mean?â Gregory frowned and asked with
cancel
unconcealed.anger.
âWhat do I mean? Hmph! I mean exactly what you mean!â
Nigel narrowed his eyes as he sneered, âYou werenât afraid of damaging Justinâs pride when you beat
him in front of everyone. Now that I want to settle this issue in front of the same crowd, what is
there for you not to accept?â
âDad! You canât keep taking his side! Arenât you just spoiling him?â
Gregory pointed angrily at Justin and shouted, his face red. âYouâve spoiled him to the point that heâs
become so rebellious and doesnât even know his limits! If things go on like this, he wonât even respect
me as his father!â
âHa.â A cold sneer appeared on Justinâs face.
The moment his mother jumped from the roof of this manor, to him,
his father was no more. He had died with his mother.
Bella heard Justin loud and clear.
Silently, she looked at his pale face and saw the heartbreaking hatred
etched into his eyes.
She could not help but feel her heart twinge.
âYou say that Justin is rebellious and doesnât know his limits. So

come on, tell me-in what way?â
Nigel was so dismissive of this that he even used his little finger to
pick at his teeth.
Everyone was silent.
Tsk, tsk. The old man grew more fearless and went against the grain
as he grew older.
Perhaps it was because his nature had been suppressed for too long
in his youth, growing up in a rich family. Now that Nigel was old and
had everything at his fingertips, he let himself go completely.
âHe talked back to me and disobeyed me!â
Gregory was so angry that he said everything that came to mind. âIâm justified in my use of the family
rules to discipline him. I had no other
choice! And besides, Iâm his father. Whatâs the problem with me
teaching him a lesson?â
âHmph! If backtalk and disobedience are the problem, youâve set a
great example for your son!â

Nigel looked at Shannon with disgust. âThen, according to you, I should have beat you until your limbs
were broken back when you
married Shannon Quarry!â
Gregory and Shannonâs expressions were twisted in ugly ways.
âThe Salvador family rules are meant to punish people who have tru made mistakes and truly deserve
to be punished. Let me ask you what has Justin done wrong? Tell me every single thing!â
Nigel smacked the armrest of his wheelchair, making Shannon jump
and tremble.
Gregory was no longer able to restrain himself, so he shouted, âHe refused to take part in our family
event and is supporting the Thompsons instead!â
