Shannon sneered. âWhen Justin divorced Bella, he shattered her heart. Now, heâs entangled with Zoe.
Bella has such a fierce character and doesnât tolerate flaws. Do you think that she will still accept
Justin? I doubt it.â
Gregory looked solemn, but before he could speak, someone knocked on the door. The butler reported
nervously, âChairman Salvador,
Madam Shannon, the Hoffmans are here.â
âTell them that Iâm not here.â Gregory rubbed his temples and answered without thinking.
âChairman Salvador, the chairman of the Hoffman Group is here as well. Are you sure you donât want
to greet them?â Gregoryâs heart sank.
âGreg, look.â
Shannon crossed her arms, curling her lips in a smile. âAs long a Justin and Zoeâs marriage remains
uncertain, our family will not a day of peace. Weâve even alarmed Chairman Hoffman. If this continues,
it wonât end well.â
Logan clasped his hands on top of his eagle-head cane and sat in the middle of the sofa with a
commanding presence. He looked so intimidating that the servants present dared not breathe heavily.
âOld Master Logan, why didnât you inform me of your visit? Iâd come out to welcome you.â
Gregory smiled and walked over with Shannon.
In the living room, members of the Hoffman family stood behind Logan, looking unfriendly. The air felt
dense.
Gregory swept his gaze across the crowd, his expression unchanging.
âOld Master Logan, you came with such a grand lineup. Are you unhappy because I didnât greet you
properly?â
âIâm indeed unhappy, but Iâm sure youâre aware of the reason behind it.â
Logan said in a cold and forceful tone, âYour family is so arrogant. Your son didnât even show himself
when my daughter-in-law personally came to visit. Must I pay a visit for your son to show his face?â
Zoe hid in Claireâs arms, sniffling softly. She had an aggrieved and pitiful expression.
Gregory was about to speak when Shannon stepped in. âJustin an impolite child. He was away that
day. If he had been here, he would certainly greet you.â
âIâm asking your husband, not you.â Logan did not spare Shannon glance, radiating disdain for her from
head to toe.
Shannon was humiliated, and her face reddened.
However, Logan was a man who stood equal to Nigel in Savrow, both legends in the corporate world.
How could she afford to provoke him?
Claire curled her lips, secretly feeling pleased.
Shannon was merely a low-born bitch who had no money or influence. She had already lucked out to
be able to seduce a man like Gregory, who was in a completely different tax bracket. However, she still
did not know her place.
Claire thought, âShannon has a troublemaker and a retard for daughters, yet she still harbors delusions
of climbing the social hierarchy by seducing my precious son! Such wishful thinking!â
âChairman Salvador, you said Justin was not around last time to brush us off. Now that Iâm here, I wonât
leave without seeing him.â
Logan waved to Zoe, and Zoe ran into his arms while crying. âYour son bullied my daughter. Is he
planning to hide like a loser and refuse to take responsibility?â A loser?!
Although Gregory did not dote on Justin, Justin was still his flesh and blood. Insulting Justin was akin to
insulting him!
âIâm not hiding. There should be no other person clearer about th situation than Zoe.â
A cold and calm voice spoke.
The crowd was stunned and looked up.
