The Ex-Wife He Couldn’t Afford to Lose（233）

Chapter 233

In order to promote the Baxim project, Gregory invited the mayor and his wife to play golf at the western suburbs golf course.

The golf course was a venue for expensive entertainment, so it only had a few customers on a normal day. Today, it seemed like it was closed off for a private event because only the Salvadors and the Solloways were there.

Shannon was a bad golfer. Although she was not skilled, she was well-equipped. She looked good in a pure white golf suit and light makeup, Standing next to Bethany, Shannon looked like Bethany’s sister instead of her mother.

The reason they brought Bethany there was to introduce Bethany to the mayor and his wife.

After all, Bethany was already 25 years old and of marriageable age. Thus, Shannon did not let go of any opportunity to promote Bethany. Even if she knew that her daughter was hung up on Ryan Hoffman, Shannon would not allow Bethany to forgo the entire ocean because of one fish.

“Hello, Mayor Solloway and Mrs. Solloway.” Bethany bowed gracefully and showed a gentle smile.

“Oh, this must be your daughter, right? She looks even more beautiful in person than on TV!” Mrs. Solloway looked at Bethany with a smile.

Shannon and Bethany’s expressions instantly stiffened.

Mrs. Solloway did not mean anything by it, but the Salvadors felt that this was a reference to Bethany’s public apology at a press conference last time.

Although the “apology scandal” had lost traction, there were still some memes of Bethany embarrassing herself on the internet with all kinds of sarcastic comments. Bethany felt humiliated.

The mayor coughed hurriedly and shot a glance at his wife.

Only then did Mrs. Solloway react and say with a wry smile, “Haha… Mrs. Salvador, your daughter is beautiful. In my opinion, it’s not an exaggeration to call her the best-looking girl among the elite families in Savrow.”

“Thank you very much, Mrs. Solloway.”

Shannon hugged Bethany and said, “Why didn’t your son come today? I heard that your son is a young talent. He and Bethany are schoolmates.”

“Oh, my son has to attend to some official business today,” Mrs. Solloway replied.

“Oh, that’s such a pity. I will make arrangements for our families to meet again then.” Shannon was very considerate.

“Haha… Sure, when the time comes…”

Mrs. Solloway was being perfunctory. She suddenly asked, “By the way, I heard that you have a holds this content. younger daughter. Why didn’t she come with you?”

The fake smile on Bethany’s face was about to collapse because this implied that Mrs. Solloway did not like her.

Bethany thought, ‘So what if she doesn’t like me? I don’t care about the mayor’s son! But she’s bringing that little bitch to slap me in the face!’

Shannon said politely, “My youngest daughter is frail and sick. She usually stays at home on medication. She’s also an introvert who doesn’t like socializing, so she didn’t come with us.”

“Oh, my! What illness did she get at such a young age? Is she alright?”

“She’s fine as long as she’s on medication.”

Shannon knew what Mrs. Solloway was thinking. Mrs. Solloway did not like Bethany, but she still wanted a marriage alliance with the Salvador family, so she set her sights on Carrie.

Shannon thought, ‘What the hell! Are my daughters vegetables from the market that you can pick and choose as you please?!’

Gregory and Justin had already played a few games with the mayor. The three of them were chatting and taking a leisurely walk on the turf.

“Mayor Solloway, our company is able to win the Baxim project thanks to your strong support.” Gregory smiled and shook hands with the mayor.

“Oh, what are you talking about? This is not the first time that we have cooperated. I have a good project on my hands, so of course, I’ll think about you.” The mayor was very friendly with Gregory because they had known each other for more than ten years.

“I’ll make the arrangements tonight. We ought to have a drink to celebrate!”

“It’s my father-in-law’s birthday tonight. So I have to attend no matter what.”

The mayor smiled and said, “There’s no rush to celebrate until we officially sign the contract on Friday.

We’ll get properly drunk then!”

Justin listened to the two chatting and laughing with an expressionless face. However, he felt like a huge stone was pressing on his chest, making it hard to breathe.

He had until Friday to secure the project.

Justin had to act fast before the deal was signed.

Even if he exposed what Shannon did, Gregory would dismiss it and cover it up to keep his family’s scandal from the public eye.

Thus, Justin had to make a fuss that was too big to cover up to kick Shannon out of the company. At this moment, a golf cart came to a stop in front of them.
