Chapter 786
When Isla’s father and brothers learned of Gregory’s plans to another woman, especially
one of lower status, with a five-year- son in tow, they were enraged.
They withdrew investments worth billions of dollars and ended cooperation on three
projects. The rift between the two families caused the Salvador Corporation’s stocks to
plummet by several
billion dollars overnight.
Later, it was Nigel who intervened. He personally visited the Fowler family to negotiate.
While the Salvador Cooperation was saved, it came with certain conditions.
The condition was that Gregory could not remarry for three years. The woman in question
could only live in the Salvador household as a servant, and her son would never be
acknowledged as a legitimate member of the Salvador family.
However, Grandpa Nigel promptly rejected the last condition. He argued that even if
Gregory’s child was illegitimate, it was not for the Fowler family to meddle with. His son’s
infidelity in marriage, which had hurt two women, was the responsibility of the adults
involved,
and the child was innocent.
As a result, Justin’s mother was never officially acknowledged by the Salvador family.
Without any legitimate status, Justin grew up enduring rumors and living in extreme
humiliation.

pregnant with Bethany.
Mary, with her gentle, kind, and tolerant nature, couldn’t compete w Shannon’s cunning
schemes. In the end, the cruel battle for status took a tragic turn, as Mary succumbed to
depression and ended her own life by jumping off a building.

Gregory’s support. She successfully took Mary’s rightful position and became Gregory’s
second wife.
–“Justin, don’t be sad anymore. Your mother’s passing is affecting
all of us too.”
-“From now on, I am your mother, and Bethany will be your sister.”
–“Sigh, your mother was truly a good person. It’s a pity that she was just a bit unlucky
compared to me. I hope she’s not suffering from her illness in the afterlife. I’m sure she
wouldn’t blame me for taking her place, right? She was so kind. She definitely wouldn’t
blame
me.”
Justin could never forget the thinly veiled derision in Shannon’s words at his mother’s
funeral.
Even though he was young at the time, he could still sense the insincerity behind
Shannon’s friendly smile.
In the blink of an eye, more than 20 years had passed. It seemed that he was the only one
in the entire Salvador family who had not forgotten about his mother.
Suddenly hearing his mother’s name coming from Bella’s lips, Justin felt a desire to cry,
his eyes reddened inexplicably.
“Mary… Mary…” Gregory looked dazed as he murmured the name of
his old lover.
Flashbacks of the memories emerged from the depths of Gregory’s mind. They were of
Mary’s bright, beautiful face, filled with affect and tenderness. The deepest part of his

When Shannon, who was standing close to Gregory, heard him repeatedly say the name of
her long-forgotten love rival, she was furious. Her eyes reddened as she unleashed her
rage directly at Bella.
“Mary? That slut was just Greg’s former mistress! Even after joining this family, she was
nothing more than a servant. What right does she have to be the matriarch of the
Salvador family? The matriarch of the Salvador family is me! She’s nothing compared to
me!”
“Shannon! That’s enough!” Emotions that Gregory thought were long gone stirred within
him. He roared angrily at her, completely forgetting there were others present. “Mary was

say that about her!”
“Why don’t I have the right?”
Shannon’s eyes widened. Her anger got the best of her. “Am I not speaking the truth? She
was just a lowly mistress unfit for society!”
Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly felt a chilling sensation enveloping her
body.
Taken aback, Shannon raised her eyes, only to find Justin standing
before her.
“You…”
Suddenly, a crisp sound echoed through the hall.
his hand and slapped Shannon fiercely.
“Ugh!”
Shannon recoiled in pain. Her cheek immediately swelled, and blood
trickled from her lips.
Her eardrums buzzed, and she could see stars.
She staggered back two steps, clutching the back of the sofa for
support, barely managing to avoid falling to the ground in
embarrassment.
“Justin…” Bella’s eyes narrowed, worrying for him.
