One could imagine how soul-crushing and heart-wrenching Gregory felt after hearing this.
He stood rooted in place with a dumbfounded look, his eyes empty as his heart thumped against his
chest, almost shattering his bones into pieces.
âNo⦠How could it be⦠How could itâ¦â His lips trembled as they parted, and even the muscles on his
face twitched.
Seeing Gregory immersed in overwhelming shock, Nigel immediately thought of Justin.
No matter which aspect, he thought his grandson had more potential than his son. But on this part, the
father and son were similar.
They would not shed a tear until they saw the coffin. Unless someone put it in their face, they would
never admit how wrong and foolish their past actions were!
âMary asked me to keep it a secret from you. She wanted to leave quietly and didnât want you and
Justin to stay attached.â
Nigel shook his head in regret. âI was foolish and selfish at that time. Without considering her feelings, I
only wanted Justin to stay in our family. I didnât want to meddle in your affairs. But I didnât expect
Shannon to appear amid everything! I didnât expect you to change your mind and bring such a
worthless bitch into the family! How regretful I amâ¦â
âIf⦠If Mary didnât treat me so coldly⦠If she didnât hate me so much, how would I⦠â
Until now, Mary still had a higher position than Shannon in Gregoryâs heart.
Even if Shannon did not commit such heinous crimes, Mary was irreplaceable in Gregoryâs heart.
However, he was stubborn. He never admitted his mistake or gave up.
Gregory was born with a silver spoon and was one of the chosen ones. He got everything he wanted,
and everyone was at his command.
He could not tolerate Maryâs indifference and accept that her heart did not belong to him.
Therefore, Shannon could come between them and take advantage of the situation. That cunning and
malicious woman seized the opportunity to replace Mary.
âMatt, give him what Mary stored with me back then.â Nigel sighed heavily.
âYes, Old Master Nigel.â
Matt took out a wooden box from his hand-carry bag and walked Gregory, passing it to him. âChairman
Salvador, this is the former Madamâs personal belongings. Before she decided to leave the Salvador
family, she gave them to Old Master Nigel, stating that it was a waste to throw them away, but keeping
them would be heartbreaking. I return this to its rightful owner now. There are gifts you gave her, such
as rings.â
Gregory stared at the box in a daze, his fingers trembling as they curled inward. He did not dare to take
it.
âThe dead have moved on, and you have a new wife now. I thought you didnât have to see these
things.â
Nigelâs eyes darkened. âBut at this point, I should give this to you, or you will never be able to see who
you really love most. You wonât realize how big of a fool you are now!â
Gregory took the box and felt his throat dry up. He found it hard to speak.
After he left, the office, Nigel rubbed his temples, so mad that he felt drained, as if he had no strength
left.
âOld Master Nigel, I have a question.
Matt hesitated and asked softly, âMs. Mary wanted you to get rid of this box back then. Why did you
keep it for her all these years without doing as she said?â
âBecause I am waiting for the day he finally sees Shannonâs true colors.â
