Chapter 266 Retaliation By The Divorced Heiress

• Shannon finally left the prosecutor's office almost a week later, appearing noticeably worn out. Taken without the luxury makeup, she looked gaunt and dehydrated, like she had aged ten years. There were even a few white hair strands that had emerged. In this ghostly state, Shannon could not force herself to go home to avoid the hordes of reporters. She was afraid Gregory would see her in this light and ruin her carefully cultivated image. Seeing that Shannon was worried, Bethany took her to a beauty salon so that Shannon could freshen herself before going out into the world. "Let's not go home just yet," Shannon suggested as they were leaving the salon. Come visit Rosalind with me.
• She said, adjusting her hair in the mirror while wearing a dejected expression, "After all, she's my niece." I can't afford to be indifferent when she risked half her life. I have to keep my good nature and kindness intact for your father." A painstakingly crafted persona for 25 years—it absolutely must not unravel!" Shannon said to herself. "Mom!" exclaimed Bethany. Rosalind truly turned to her own death! Bethany didn't particularly like Rosalind, but the image of that blood-stained bathroom followed her everywhere. "Let's not even discuss whether Justin will be duped by her seeming misery. She could lose her life if her plan backfired and no one caught on in time. Even to herself, she is genuinely cruel!” "Hey, how could anyone miss it by that much time?"
• Shannon smiled teasingly as she tucked her mirror away. After a moment of shock, Bethany realized what had happened. She let out a gasp. Mom! Did you know this already? Shannon gestured for Bethany to stop talking right away by lifting her index finger to her lips. Shannon came up with the plan to try suicide in an attempt to win Justin over. She had employed a similar tactic back then, hoping to win Gregory over. It made her a member of the Salvador family and opened the door to the life she has today.
