Yet he refrained, not wanting to give her a chance to leave, as there was still an issue
between Bella and Shannon that needed to be
settled.
Everyone in the house was in a state of panic. They just witnessed Justin slapping
Shannon, yet no one dared to intervene.
If even Gregory couldn’t control Justin, who else could control him in
this household?
“Ahh!” Bethany gasped. Her hand immediately covered her mouth in fear. Tremors

even dare to step forward and stop
Justin.
Even the people from the Hoffman family were dumbfounded.
Although Shannon’s words were out of line, it was unthinkable that Justin would dare to
slap her in front of so many people. After all, Shannon was still Gregory’s wife and his
stepmother.
It was utterly audacious! This slap not only struck Shannon’s face but
insulted his father’s dignity.
Only Ryan looked at Justin with fervent eyes. He took a deep breath and smiled, feeling a
rush of indescribable emotion flood his heart. He knew that Justin had been suppressing
his emotions for too long. As his only best friend, no one understood better tha struggles
Justin had endured within this family over the years.
“Greg, Greg… I can’t hear… My ears… I can’t hear anything!” Shannon’s cry was frantic as
she covered her eyes.
She rushed over to Gregory’s side and clung to him tightly. Her lips were bleeding, her
meticulously styled hair was now in disarray, and her eye makeup was smudged from
tears.
Her carefully crafted image over the years was completely shattered. I’m deaf… Your son
made me deaf! Aren’t you going to do something about him?! How dare he hit me?!”
Bella thought, ‘Damn, that must have felt so satisfying!”
Bella could clearly see blood seeping from between Shannon’s fingers. Her beautiful eyes
widened as she looked at Justin’s cold expression. She could tell that Shannon’s eardrum
must have ruptured.
Gregory looked at Shannon with mixed emotions. He still felt a lingering, dull ache in his
heart, but he knew clearly that it wasn’t for her. But rather, it belonged to the woman he
had long buried within the deepest depths of his heart.
“Justin, are you out of your mind? How could you lay hands on an elder?” Gregory felt
compelled to intervene.
Justin’s smirk was cold, his lips forming a chilling smile. “Elder? What
kind of elder is she? Looking at the whole Salvador family, I only
consider Grandpa, you, and Wilma as my elders. She has no place among the people I

“Young Master Justin…” Wilma smiled, feeling grateful and
that she was mentioned.
Shannon’s face swelled like a balloon, and the taste of blood lingered
on her tongue.
Shannon thought, ‘Is he implying that even a mere old maid like Wilma held a higher
status than me? This is unacceptable! This
bastard!’
“I’ve addressed you as Aunt Shannon out of respect for your age and for being with my
dad for nearly 30 years. Elder? Do you really think you deserve that?” Justin’s cold
laughter sent shivers down
Shannon’s spine.
The Hoffmans watched eagerly. They couldn’t miss this exciting
drama unfolding.
Justin’s eyes turned dark and chilling. “My mother is where I draw the line. Anyone who
dares to cross it shouldn’t expect me to show them any respect. I might even take their
life.”
As he spoke, he cast a subtle glance in Bella’s direction.
