Aurora Dourada: Retorno By Ricardo Almeida

“Besides, as the wife of Salvador Corporation’s chairman, you’re practically rolling in money. $200 million is a drop in the bucket for

you. As far as I know, your hefty savings in a Regarton bank are

hardly legitimate when it’s embezzlement from Salvador

Corporation’s projects. Even if you didn’t have $1 billion in there, you should have at least secured $500 million.”

Shannon managed to save up to $1 billion through abuse of her

position, embezzlement, and bribery.

If Justin and Bella were to discover her secret stash, they would use it

against her.

Shannon would be looking at permanent jail time.

Gregory could bail her out since they were married. However,

Shannon no longer trusted that he had her back.

“You’re not even 50 yet, Mrs. Salvador. You can still live a high life

many years to come. Your daughters aren’t even married yet. Do

you want to be at their wedding? Don’t you want to hold a grandchil You won’t last long in the harsh conditions of prison. Just one da

behind bars might drive you crazy.” All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

That was a blatant threat.

Gritting her teeth, Shannon quickly made up her mind. “Fine! I’ll get you $200 million in three days. But you need to disappear without leaving a trace and never come back to Savrow.”

“Three days will be too late. The cops aren’t the ones on my tail.

Justin and Ryan sent their men after me. I can’t wait that long. I

expect to see the money before sundown tomorrow. We have worked together long enough, Mrs. Salvador It’ll be sad if we all go down

together.”

In the corridor, Wilma carried Justin’s tailored suit past Shannon’s

room.

Outside Shannon’s bedroom door, Wilma heard the clanging and

banging coming from inside.

Wilma frowned and murmured under her breath, “Jesus Christ! What

is she on now? She still has a temper despite marrying rich.”

Then, her phone vibrated. It was a call from Justin.

Wilma went to a corner and took the call. “Hello, Young Master

Justin? Are you coming home tonight?”

“Are Shannon and Bethany at the manor now, Wilma?” Justin was always nice to Wilma.

“Yes, they are. I stood outside their bedroom and heard them arguin

I think they trashed everything in the room.”

Wilma asked with worry, “Did something happen, Young Master

Justin? You have not been back for days.”

After much contemplation, Justin decided against telling Wilma

about Linny’s passing, in case the news was too much to bear. “I

need a favor, Wilma. Don’t leave Tideview Manor for now. Stay there and keep an eye on Shannon. Tell me right away when she leaves the

place. Don’t worry about anything else.”

“Sure, Young Master. Got it.”

“Remember not to get involved in anything else. Shannon is wicked.

She’s capable of anything when pushed.” Justin’s voice was hoarse.

Wilma shuddered. “What on earth happened, sir? That reminds me.

Linny hasn’t been around for days. She didn’t apply for leave with the butler, and I couldn’t reach her on the phone. Did something happen

to her?”

“I’ll tell you about Linny when the time is right. Just do as I tell you for

now.”

Just when Justin was about to end the call, Shannon walked out of her room.

It was late at night. Yet Shannon, known for her flamboyance, dressed discreetly in black.

It was as if she was mourning the loss of her spouse.

Wilma stealthily ran to the window and saw Shannon getting

the

car and driving out of Tideview Manor.

“Shannon just went out, sir!”

Wilma reported to Justin. “She’s dressed in full black, like she’s in mourning. I bet she’s up to no good.”

Meanwhile, acting on the tipoff from Wilma, Justin assigned lan

follow Shannon.
