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.

Two years later, Gregory brazenly brought back Shannon, who was

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.

The year of Justin’s mother’s death coincided with the end of the three-year agreement set by the Fowler family.
