Chapter 225
Chapter 225
Shannon sat upright on the sofa in the living room. She took a sip of coffee, which had been sent up by a servant, and looked around the hall.
This was the Quentiner Villas. Most of the people living here were rich people.
The Moore family could live here because her great–grandfather had bought a few villas here when he was at his peak.
The renovation was in the traditional style, luxurious and domineering. It suited Quintin’s state of mind.
She looked out of place sitting there, but she was poised.
Seeing that they had arrived, Shannon stood up and greeted them, “Mr. and Mrs. Moore.
The few of them looked at her in shock.
She was wearing a beige knitted jumper and denim pants, which added up to less than 40 dollars. However, she was fair and beautiful, with shoulder–length hair and thin air bangs. She was neither servile nor overbearing, exuding the delicate beauty of a young girl.
There were two boxes of expensive gifts on the table. She had brought them
She did not look shabby at all. The way the Moore couple looked at her also became more formal.
Leona gritted her teeth hard as a dark light flashed in her eyes. Then, she went forward, so happy and excited that tears were about to flow out. “Sister, it’s so good to have you back. We’ve all missed you so much. If you could call theen Daddy and Mommy, they would be even happier,”
As she spoke, she went to hug her, as if they were close sisters
Shannon gently stepped back and avoided her. Tm sorry, we’re not related by blood. I’m not your sister.”
Leona’s face instantly turned pale.
Jessie helped Quintin sit down. “We’re already very happy that you’re back.”
They didn’t care whether she called them her parents or not
Her gaze fell on the gift box. “This is your home. You don’t have to bring gifts honse.”
Shannon said, “I saw that Mr. Moore’s condition wasn’t good. These two supplements are effective, so I specially brought them here.”
“Sister. Leona had just opened her mouth when she was interrupted by Shannon.
Shannon’s cyes were filled with anger. Tve already said that I’m not your sister. Do you not understand, or have you always been arrogant and disregarded others?”
Leona’s face went white again, then red. It burned, more painfully than if she was slapped. “I… I’m very happy. Since you don’t like it, I won’t call you that
“You’re a freshman. It’s already very difficult for you to take care of yourself, but you borrowed money to buy such an expensive gift. What will happen to your life in the future? Shannon, you’d better come back. The Moore couple’s expressions were a little ugly. When they thought about how Shannon borrowed money from Lea and the others to buy gifts to curry favor, they were unhappy.
Shannon’s expression turned cold. “I bought the gift with my own salary”
The three of them were shocked again.
“Salary?” Leona deliberately raised her voice. How much can a part–time worker like you earn a month.
She felt that Shannon was lying.
“Not everyone is like Miss Moore, who needs family support to afford branded clothes and treasures Shannon exuded self–confidence from the Inside out
Without looking at her anymore, Shannon turned to the Moore couple. I’m here because I learned that Riverview Hospital’s new smart heart assister is helpful to Mr. Moore. If you’re interested, you should go learn about it.
“Riverview Hospital!” Leona raised her voice again and felt that she had heard a joke. She snorted. “How can a hospital that hasn’t even opened its doors develop a cardiac aid?”
Not only did Leona not believe it, but even the Moore couple felt that Shannon was talking nonsense,
Shannon stood up with a cold expression. “I have something on. I’ll be leaving first.”
She gave Leona a cold look before turning around and striding out
She had left because she was angry with her.
“Shannon, Shannon. Jessie reacted and chased after her.
Shannon took the initiative to come to her door. This was such a rare opportunity, and Jessie wanted to make her stay.
However, when she reached the door, she saw a tall young man opening the car door for Shannon
The car was an Audi huxury car that belonged to Chris. She had a lot of cars, so she casually placed a couple in the hospital for everyone to use.
The young man’s powerful skills and aura made Jessie not dare to chase after Shannon and force her to stay.
Seeing them get into the car and drive out of the villa, her expression darkened. She turned to Leona, who was sitting on the sofa, and said. “You just had to talk so much.”
She knew that Shannon was driven away by Leona
This was the first time Jessie realized that the outstanding daughter she had meticulously raised was incompetent and spoilt
Leona’s expression changed. It alternated between green and white. “Mom, I’m sorry, I… I was just worried about Dad. You’ve seen what level Riverview Hospital is at. Isn’t she obviously fooling Dad? Moreover, she refused to come back with us yesterday. Today, she suddenly came and bought such an expensive gift. I don’t know what she wants to do Dad, Mom, does Shannon really want to come back?
Quintin and Jessie were naturally suspicious. Hearing Leona say this, their hearts immediately trembled.
Quintin, in particular, could not help but clench his fists,
The bloodline of the Moore family was qualified to inherit the family and share the assets.
As his daughter, Shannon was able to get into Conrad University after growing up in such a poor environment. Her strength could not be underestimated.
In his heart, she was a threat.
Jessie was also shocked. As early as a week ago, when they received the hospital certificate and confirmed that Shannon was their child, they had learned about this person from Leona.
Shannon had grown up in such an environment and had even been arrested by the police. If it weren’t for her husband’s bone marrow transplant, Jessie wouldn’t have acknowledged this daughter.
She felt that recognizing Shannon would only be a burden. It would be harmful to the Moore family and would affect her status in the Moore family. Thinking of this. her anger towards Leona dissipated.
Leona looked at their reactions and was very satisfied.
At eleven o’clock in the evening, after a busy day, Leona returned to her bedroom exhausted and prepared to rest.
She freshened up, changed into her pajamas, and went to draw the curtains.
The curtains were drawn. She jerked and pulled them open again with a whoosh.
Someone was standing in the small garden downstairs, looking up at her.
Her heart sank and she shivered as if she had fallen into a bottomless abyss.
