The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

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.

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

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.”

For some reason, the term ‘mistress made Gregory extremely

uncomfortable. It stirred up a trace of memories about Justin’s

mother.

“In the past, Celeste had no backing. But now, she has Wyatt Thompson’s support, and her situation

has changed. If it weren’t for

what happened back then, she would have already risen to

prominence. She wouldn’t have ended up in a situation where she had

no choice but to become Wyatt’s third wife.”

Shannon was taken aback and cautiously asked, “Greg, did I say

something wrong?”

“I heard that not only Justin but also my father will be attending the

banquet to meet Wyatt,” Gregory responded.

Gregory gazed ahead, his tone calm. “Tonight’s main focus isn’t just

on Celeste alone. Have you overlooked the presence of Wyatt

Thompson? If both Nigel and Justin are willing to attend, just let them

these social niceties.”

‘What’s going on? Why has his attitude changed?’ Shannon choked

back her frustration. She could only force a smile to accommodate

him.

At this moment, Carrie found a comfortable position, and her little. head nodded slowly as she dozed

off. After all, in the days spent with Ryan, he would cling to her every night, either with kisses or hugs,

making it impossible for her to get a good night’s sleep.
