Chapter 172
Shannon didn’t expect Lily to suddenly call her name. She was caught off guard and telt anxious.
quickly, she collected her thoughts. It wasn’t like she had done anything wrong, so why should she be nervous?
She looked at Lily and smiled. “I don’t understand what you meant.”
Lilybrushed away a stray strand of her hair and glanced at Shannon coolly. “It’s okay if you don’t. I’ll make you understand.”
Shannon smiled uneasily and continued, “There’s nothing I need to understand, Lily. But you… Loid treasures you so much, yet you did such a shameful thing behind his back. It’s
nfair to him. I may be your sister, but even I can’t side with you this time.
As her words tell, accusatory voices arose from all around them.
“That’s right. Loid treats her so well, yet she does this to him. What a bitch.”
“Loid can have any woman he wants. Why did he choose her? Besides being beautiful, she has no other redeeming qualities.
“She’s good at seducing people, I guess. She goes for both the young and the old,”
Loid’s hands were in his pockets. He shot those gossiping people a frosty glare. They shut up immediately.
Melanie glanced at Lily and Shannon. She understood what was happening right away. Her realization caused her expression to darken considerably.
“Is that so?” Lily half–squinted her eyes at Shannon. “Thave something nice to show you. Would you like to see it?”
“If you’re willing to share something nice with me, then I’d definitely like to see it,” Shannon replied in a gentle tone
Lily smicked and looked in Jan’s direction. “Tan.”
Not far away, lan heard her and responded with an “okay” gesture. He then rapped on the computer keyboard a few times. Suddenly, the screen display changed, and Shannon’s expression shitted drastically along with it.
It wasn’t only her. The faces of everyone in the Martinez family fell too at that moment
A video played on the screen. Shannon was in a bar, talking to a thug with green hair. She handed him a lot of cash and then gave him a photo.
She sounded merciless as she said, “This person is Jason Martinez. Find a chance to kill him. Once it’s done, I’ll give you 100,000 dollars.”
“Are you joking, miss? We don’t take assassination orders. Even if we did.. Daly 100,000 dollars for an illegal act of taking a person’s life? Do you think we’re fools?”
“You don’t have to loll him, then. If I want you to make him unable to wake up forever, that’s doable, right?”
“We can do it, but you’re paying us too Ettle.”
“I’ll give you 200,000 dollars at most. If you won’t take this up, I’ll find someone else.”
Julia clutched her chest and retreated several steps backward disbelievingly. She pointed at Shannon, her lips trembling “You. It was you who killed Jason!” “No, It wasn’t me!” Shannon panicked.
she didn’t expect Lily to have this video. Where on earth could she have gotten it from?
Liam watched the scene in the video for a long time without saying a word. He then turned and looked at his beloved daughter, feeling heartbroken.
“Your brother doted on you so much. Why would you do this?” Liam asked.
Jason’s death had been a mystery. Back then, they only received word that Jason had been in a car accident. When they rushed to the hospital, his body had already been cremated. He didn’t even get to see Jason for the last time.
He never expected that his precious daughter had been behind his son’s death,
Liam placed a hand on the table to support himself, his face full of sorrow and indescribable pain.
Everyone in the hall shifted their gazes to Shannon. No one spoke, but those looks were like piercing knives that stabbed at her heart relentlessly.
Her face turned deathly pale as she fell to the ground.
Pulling the hem of Liar’s clothes, she cried, “Dad, it wasn’t me! It really wasn’t me! Lily framed me. She hates me, Dad. You have to believe me!” © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
