“Yes, I'll go get it right away.”
Once Paul left the room, Gregory allowed his vulnerability to surface.
He slouched, overwhelmed by the waves of guilt and anguish that engulfed him like a violent storm, causing an
unbearable torment.
At this moment, his mind was a tumultuous sea of conflicting
thoughts.
“I don’t know when it began, but I've becsomeone who can’t
bear to be apart from you.”
-“Every morning, her first thought is about how she should end her life, but she always can’t bring herself to
abandon her young son,
Justin.”
-“Even if my mother once loved you, the moment she leaped from
the balcony of Tideview Manor, she stopped loving you.”
Suddenly, Gregory's eyes snapped open, his heart pounding
uncontrollably.
Just then, Paul entered with a glass of water.
“Paul, do you remember anything about Mary's incident from twenty

years ago?”
Paul hesitated briefly before responding softly, “I have a good
memory. Wasn't it precisely because of this that you choseto be your secretary? If you have any questions,
feel free to ask.”

“Back then, Mary suffered from depression. | recall sending you to take her to the hospital, and you took care of
her for quite stime.
How serious was her condition back then? Was it really severe?” Gregory's eyes brimmed with sorrow and
bitterness.
“The doctor diagnosed Madam Mary with a severe tendency toward
depression, but with Justin's company and active treatment, Ms.
Mary's condition gradually improved,” Paul replied honestly.
“A woman who loved me, couldn't bear to leave her son, and simply
wished to leave the Salvador family quietly... Why would she suddenly
opt for suicide?” Gregory muttered, his brows furrowing deeply.
Mary's suicide years ago had taken the entire Salvador family by
surprise.
Although many people with depression may choose to end their lives abruptly, at that time, it was evident that
Mary had already shown signs of improvement, and her outlook on life had becmuch more positive than
before. Everything seemed to be moving in a
better direction, especially with her son accompanying her. How
could this have happened?
With tightly pressed lips, Paul cautiously posed a question that sent a shiver down one’s spine. “Chairman
Salvador, there's something I've been holding back for twenty years, and I'd like to ask about it today. Regarding
Madam Mary's death, back then, did you never, even for a moment, suspect foul play in her death?”
As the words trailed off, Gregory’s demeanor suddenly shifted as he locked eyes with Paul, his ears filled with a
deafening buzz.

Meanwhile, in a presidential suite at a hotel in Terranova, Justin
stood by the window.
After the call with Gregory, his iron-clad fist pounded fiercely against
the window, his eyes bloodshot with hatred, and tears of shattered
emotions welled up in his eyes.
He was moments away from revealing Shannon as the true culprit
behind his mother’s death.
But he managed to hold back from telling the truth.

Now was not the tto speak out. Justin planned to expose the true nature of the woman Gregory has adored
for two decades in a more
brutal and theatrical manner.
Only then could he shatter his father’s pride completely, subject him to ridicule from the entire world, and relish
in his agony.
Ryan let out a long sigh and walked over, pulling out a cigarette to
offer to Justin.
“Here, have one. Relax.”
Justin instinctively reached for it. But then he hesitated and snapped
the cigarette in half.
“I've quit smoking.”
“What?! What happened? This isn’t like you,” Ryan exclaimed, eyes
wide.
It was surprising, given Justin's well known reliance on cigarettes. He
could live without a woman, but never without a smoke!
