Chapter 635
“But Grandpa also asked me to tell you…” Bethany stammered,
trembling as she spoke, “He and Justin are both going to attend the Thompsons’ banquet.”
“What?!” Shannon erupted in anger, her eyes ablaze.
“He said he received a video call from Wyatt and Bella last night, and they had a pleasant conversation. So, he decided at the last minute to
meet Wyatt and have a few drinks to catch up…’
”
“Damn it!” Shannon was furious, her eyes spitting flames. She swept the dressing table clean in a fit of rage.
“Mommy! What are we going to do? Both Justin and Grandpa are
going to the Thompsons’ banquet, ignoring you completely. Isn’t this
deliberate humiliation? How will you face others if they find out?”
Bethany, who had been harboring resentment toward Shannon for
supporting Carrie and Ryan’s relationship, seized this opportunity to
vent her anger.
“Deep down, they never truly acknowledge your status as the
mistress of the Salvador family. They think attending your birthday
party is shameful and embarrassing for them!”
“Stop talking! Just stop it!” Shannon was so enraged that her heart was pounding, and her blood pressure soared.
“Mom! What do we do now?” Bethany looked anxious, but she was
secretly delighted.
“Enough! That old geezer is deliberately going against me. If I let this ruin my birthday, I would be falling right into their trap,” Shannon said with a grim expression as she sat on the sofa.
Chap 635
She crossed her legs and began doing Pilates. “After all, that old man. has retired now. Your father is his only heir to Salvador Corporation. Everything Nigel has will eventually belong to my husband. I won’t
care about that senile old man on the brink of death. How much
longer can he live anyway?”
At exactly 6:00 p.m., a row of black luxury cars lined up neatly outside. the villa. The Salvador couple and their two daughters got into an extended Lincoln, escorted by cars with bodyguards both in the front and rear. The imposing procession headed toward the Salvador Hotel.
Inside the car, Gregory stared expressionlessly out the window. His attitude toward Shannon showed no abnormality. After all, today was her birthday.
Chapter 636
The situation felt calm and not as tense as in the past.
The Salvador sisters sat across from their parents. Carrie sat
hunched over, tightly embracing the teddy bear that Bella had given
her. She found comfort in its presence.
Clad in an expensive and latest Chanel suit, Bethany sat next to
Carrie, who dressed humbly.
“Oh, little sister, today is Mommy’s big day. Why don’t you make an
effort to dress up for the occasion?” Bethany sported a fake smile.
She ger
gently ran her fingers through her sister’s silky hair as a display of sisterly affection in front of Gregory. “Don’t you know how to doll up? Why didn’t you tell me? I could’ve helped you.”
Carrie kept her back straight and her lips tightly sealed.
“Remember how great your hair looked after I permed it for you time? I told you, I can do it again for you today.” Bethany said it w
wicked smile in her eyes.
Suddenly, Carrie raised her hand and forcefully removed Bethany grip. Both Gregory and Shannon were left dumbfounded. They had never seen Carrie lose her temper before.
“Carrie! It hurts so much! What are you doing?” Bethany pretended to
look aggrieved, as if she were the victim.
“I… I never wanted you to dress me up. You forced me into it!” Carrie hugged the little bear, her eyes reddened. With courage that seemed
Chapp
to come from nowhere, Carrie dared to speak up against Bethany.
Gregory listened and looked at Bethany, puzzled.

“What… What did you say?” Bethany’s pupils widened, utterly stunned.
“Also, I hate that hairstyle… I hate it so much. Don’t ever force me to
perm my hair again, okay?” Carrie clenched her teeth, each word
carrying a deep resentment toward Bethany.
“Bethany, what does Carrie mean by this? What’s going on?” Gregory
asked with a serious expression.
“Oh, Dad! Carrie isn’t an ordinary child. She often says things out of the blue. You know that, right? I’m just as confused as you are about
why she suddenly said such things. I feel so wronged!” Bethany spoke
in a sweet voice, feigning innocence.
“Greg, is it true that Justin won’t be attending the banquet tonight? Is
he attending the Thompsons’ banquet instead?” Shannon chand
the topic, holding her husband’s arm.
“I don’t know.” Gregory furrowed his brow.
“I don’t mean anything else. It’s just for the greater good. I still thi
Justin should attend our banquet instead,” Shannon said, trying
steer the conversation in a different direction.
Shannon put on an act and spoke with warmth and gentleness, “If it
were for Mila Larson’s birthday, it would be understandable. After all,
Mila is the daughter of the Larson family. Establishing a good
relationship would benefit us in the future and add a touch of
decency. But what is the use of going to celebrate Celeste’s birthday?
Not to mention, Celeste is just a commoner with a notorious past in
the entertainment industry. If Justin goes to congratulate her, the
media will surely write all sorts of nonsense.”
Shannon’s eyes darkened gradually. “Moreover, Celeste is the least
conspicuous of Wyatt Thompson’s wives. To call her a wife is already giving her too much credit. She’s simply Wyatt’s officially recognized mistress. With such an ambiguous status, does it even make sense. for Justin, the president of the Salvador Corporation, to reach out to her? It’s too degrading.”
