Chapter 1911
Upon hearing this, Justin clenched his fists, the veins bulging on the back of his hands. He mocked coldly, "Gregory sure is a loving father. No matter what happened, he was unwilling to abandon his daughter, who was rotten to the core."
"Is it really Bethany that he can't abandon? He just can't damage his pride as the head of the Salvador family!"
lan growled, "I thought he had finally gained a conscience when I saw him at the hospital, taking care of Old Master Nigel and worrying about Ms. Carrie's condition. It turns out that I was too naive!" "Gregory has always been an extreme egoist who only does things that benefit himself. He believes in every man for himself. How can you hope he would suddenly be enlightened?" Justin turned around, raised his head, and looked at the gray sky. "Since he cares so much about his pride, I'll let him watch as I shatter his pride into pieces!"
Public opinion continued to brew, and the outcry against the six bullies grew louder.
Bethany was also implicated. As a member of the Salvador family and Carrie's sister, her actions were even more infuriating than those of Zoe and the others.
[That's her sister! Bethany is such a heartless animal. She should be dragged out and executed!]
[Do you think you're all that for bullying your autistic sister?!]
[Bethany! Don't think you can escape the law just because of your father! You can't get away with this!]
Gregory naturally would not stand for the Salvador Corporation's image being damaged. Even though he knew how evil Bethany was, he still had to bail her out.
He also ordered Paul to immediately prepare for an emergency press conference at the Salvador Hotel's banquet hall.
Flashlights shone on the stage.
The intense light focused on Gregory's haggard face, and his words carried a hint of anger and sadness.
"Three days ago, my daughter, Carrie, experienced inhumane kidnapping and bullying. Until now, she's still lying unconscious in the ICU. As her father, I am absolutely heartbroken. I have not slept in three days, struggling with unprecedented agony every moment."
The usually sharp reporters under the stage were now understandingly quiet, showing how heartbreaking Carrie's experience was.
"I called this emergency press conference because I know that everyone is worried about my daughter's condition, so let me share the updates here. Secondly, as Carrie's father, I will definitely pursue legal action against all those who harmed my daughter!"
"Chairman Salvador, your eldest daughter, Bethany, was present at the scene of Carrie's kidnapping!" A reporter finally could not hold back and asked, "According to the other perpetrators, Bethany was also involved in the bullying. She has been bullying her autistic sister mentally and physically over the years. You said you would pursue legal action against the bullies. But what about Bethany? How are you planning to deal with her?"
"She kicked Ms. Carrie at that time. Everyone in the livestream saw it clearly!"
"If you let Bethany off lightly just because she is your daughter, don't you think it's too unfair to Carrie?!"
The crowd clamored and complained.
This matter was not as simple as a wealthy family's scandal. Bethany was an accomplice to Zoe and the others. Everyone saw it. There was no reason that all the perpetrators were punished but not her.
Gregory's expression darkened, and
he gritted his teeth. "It was indeed Bethany's fault for mingling with those immoral bastards. But she is the daughter I watched grow up She's not evil by nature and was merely led astray after being deluded by Zoe and her group.
The crowd booed.
Gregory indeed showed that he treated both daughters equally. To protect the family's reputation, he was desperately defending his heartless, troublemaking daughter. Suddenly, the doors to the banquet hall opened.
A tall and imposing figure strode in, immediately stealing the spotlight.
"It's Mr. Salvador!"
Justin kept his eyes straight, exuding an oppressive air as he walked straight to Gregory, whose expression gradually stiffened.
The father and son faced each other, and the camera flashlights engulfed them.
"Chairman Salvador, your words are so ridiculous that I was momentarily speechless Justin's thin lips curled up into an intimidating and cold smile. "Bethany teamed up with Zoe and the others to kidnap, imprison, and beat my sister into serious injury. Carrie is still lying unconscious in the ICU, yet you're already eager to make excuses for the perpetrator?"
Justin's words caused an uproar.
Gregory's chest heaved as he tried to restrain himself. His hands on the table slowly curled into a ball.
"If Bethany is not punished for beating someone, what will you do when she kills someone the next time? Will you also brush it off?"
"What you're saying is hypothetical. Bethany did not kill anyone. She's merely simple-minded and was manipulated by others!"
In front of the media, Gregory
repeatedly hinted at Justin, clearly
trying to treat this criminal case as a family scandal. "Bethany and Carrie are your sisters and my daughters.
I'm merely discussing this as a matter of fact. I'm definitely not biased or trying to excuse anyone!"
Justin's sharp eyes darkened. He reached into his suit, ready to deliver a heavy blow to Gregory.
However, at this time, the big screen in the banquet hall suddenly lit up.
"Guys, look. What is that?!"This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
The crowd's gazes gathered on the screen, including Justin and Gregory.
A paternal test report, verified by an authoritative organization, was presented on the screen.
Written in black and white was a heart-wrenching sentence, "Based on our analysis, we exclude the possibility that Gregory Salvador is Bethany Salvador's biological father."
