Chapter 311

Back in the president’s office of the Salvador Corporation, Justin leaned back in his leather chair after wrapping up a high-level meeting, weariness evident in his eyes.

The buzz surrounding the matter between Rosalind and him had spread like wildfire within the company. Surprisingly, within the vast expanse of the Salvador Corporation’s skyscraper, not a single soul dared to utter a word of gossip about Justin.

Unless, of course, they were willing to face the consequences, which could potentially lead to their demise.

Having earned the promotion to deputy chairman of the board, Justin transformed into a true powerhouse, commanding unparalleled authority. However, despite his prestigious status, a profound sense of heaviness weighed on Justin, devoid of any satisfaction.

“I never expected Shannon to resolve the financial issues with Gold Corporation. It seems she’s been pocketing a significant amount of money. At least now, she’ll have to spit it back out.” Ian felt immensely satisfied to see Shannon take a loss.

Still contemplating the situation, Justin responded, “Shannon built her wealth with Zephyr’s help. Even with Zephyr in prison, she still manages to accumulate a substantial sum. It implies there’s another source for her income.”

Ian’s skepticism grew evident as he leaned forward, questioning, “Could the EV boutique be one of them? Could that mediocre boutique have such massive money-attracting power? It’s just bags and clothes. How can it generate such significant profits?”

“After all these years working for me, how can you be so naive?” Justin’s eyebrows furrowed.

With a casual flick of his hand, Justin tossed a neatly folded paper airplane accurately toward Ian’s chest. “That boutique is just a facade for the extensive underground network in Savrow that Shannon has meticulously built over the years. While openly dealing in luxury goods, behind the scenes, she’s involved in bribery and shady dealings.”

Ian shivered. “We really underestimated this old witch!”

“I have never underestimated her. We should never underestimate our enemies.”

Justin rubbed the bridge of his nose, his lips curling into a cold expression. “Dealing with Shannon is no overnight task. She has deep roots in Savrow, and with Gregory protecting her, it’s not the right time to make a move. We still lack sufficient evidence and the right opportunity. If you play with fire, you’re bound to get burned. The time will come.”

Ian nodded with resentment. “Exactly! Sooner or later, we’ll spill that old witch’s blood as an offering to the heavens!”

Justin changed the subject with indifference. “How’s the progress on Ada Wang’s project?”

“The wedding planning proposal from our team has been revised, and we’re ready to meet with Ada Wang’s team at any time,” Ian reported.

Ian hesitated briefly befofe cautiously suggesting, “Mr. Salvador, didn’t you mention compensating the young madam? This might be an opportunity to make amends. What if we hand over the wedding planning rights to the KS World Hotel? I think she would appreciate it

Justin interrupted, “Why should I give it to KS World Hotel?”

Justin’s face was composed as he looked at Ian. “I owe Bella, not KS Group. Why would I give the opportunity to the Thompson family?”

Ian was left speechless. “Truly, what kind of logic is this?’

“She once mentioned that in business, we must give our absolute best to compete with her. If I slack off now, wouldn’t that be looking down on her?”
