Gregory and Shannon were home at the moment.
Gregory sat on the sofa, reading the news on his phone with a solemn expression.
Although he had hired a top-notch PR team to deal with the scandal regarding Justin and Zoe, the
gossip and speculation online had never stopped.
As the president of the Salvador Corporation, Justin did not show his face or publish a public statement
to clarify the situation. It would only fuel more speculation, causing him to tarnish his image.
Shannon sat at her dressing table, meticulously taking care of the hair she had invested over a million
dollars annually to maintain.
In the past, she offered up her own body to Gregory to seduce him.
âGreg, come here.â Shannon turned around and hooked her fing at Gregory.
âWhat?â Gregoryâs eyes did not leave his phone screen.
âJust come, Greg. Touch my hair. Iâve always taken good care of it you.â
Shannonâs voice was sweet and coy as she flirted. âCome and feel it. Is it the same as before?â
âShannon.â
Gregory halted. He had been pondering if Celesteâs incident had something to do with Shannon for a
long time, but he still did not ask the question in the end.
He mentioned something else instead. âRyan confessed to Carrie in front of me and Dad.â
âWhat? When did it happen!?â Shannon immediately stood up, unable to control her expression from
being overjoyed.
âSome time ago, when Justin was hospitalized, he brought Carrie to visit Justin.â
âThatâs wonderful news! Oh my!â
Shannon was so happy that she clapped her hands. âWhatâs Dadâs attitude? He watched Ryan grow
up, and our families are close to each other with similar backgrounds. He must agree to this marriage,
right?â
âYouâve always tried to match Bethany with Ryan and didnât give Carrie a thought. Why did you
suddenly change your mind now?â Gregory asked calmly. Shannon rolled her eyes. âGreg, you make it
sound as if I donât about Carrie. After all, she is also my daughter. How can I not w the best for her?
Bethanyâs personality doesnât match Ryanâs. They are just not destined for each other. If Ryan likes
Carrie, Iâd definitely support this perfect match. As a mother, I want my daughter to marry well.â
âAlthough Carrie and Ryan are dating, it hasnât been made public yet. We can still turn back.â Gregoryâs
brows furrowed. âOnce the relationship is public, things will not be so easy.â
âGreg⦠What do you mean? Donât you want Carrie to marry Ryan?â Shannon questioned him
anxiously.
âWhen Claire Hoffman came to discuss Justinâs marriage, she left without even seeing Justinâs face.
Didnât you see her expression as she left? It was full of resentment. Ryan is her only son. How could
she accept Carrie as her daughter-in-law?â Gregory frowned, feeling frustrated.
Shannon was stunned.
Thinking about how Claireâs face was red with anger, she thought that her daughterâs path to a wealthy
and influential family was completely blocked.
No. It was not over yet!
That dumbass Ryan was willing to take Carrie off her hands, so she must do everything in her power to
marry off Carrie!
Shannon sighed with a worried expression and walked over to Gregory, massaging his shoulders as
she said gently, âGreg, you seem to be in a bad mood these days. Are you troubled by this matter?
Thereâs a way to resolve everything and solve all our problems.â
âWhat is it?â
âLet Justin marry Zoe. Everyone will be happy. If we take Zoe, Mrs. Hoffman will accept Carrie.â
Shannon got excited as she spoke, her eyes shining with greed.
âDonât you know who Justin likes? He only has eyes for Bella. Thereâs no way he could tolerate any
other woman.â
Gregoryâs brows furrowed as he felt more frustrated. âItâs been over 20 years. Donât you understand his
temper by now?â
âJustin likes Bella, but does she reciprocate his feelings?â
