Chapter 214
Chapter 214
While Breanna was looking at Kelsey’s photo and plotting, Celia was also looking at Kelsey’s photo with her mobile phone. However, she was not alone, and Shannon was standing beside her.
The mother and daughter moved out of the Black family’s senior ward in the private hospital and lived a comfortable life. When Breanna called Celia, Shannon was taking a shower. When she came out of the bathroom, she saw her daughter in deep thought and asked who she was calling just now.
Celia had mentioned to Shannon about Breanna’s cooperation with her before, so of course, she would not hide it from her this time. She immediately told Shannon about the content of the call between Breanna and her.
“How could it be such a coincidence? Breanna actually saw Kelsey in the United States?” Shannon knew that Itzel had sent Kelsey abroad to study, but she did not know that Itzel was trying to kill Kelsey. At that time, Itzel told her that the reason why she sent Kelsey out was that she was afraid that Kelsey would leak out the fact that they had planned to have sex with Rodney and Celia that day, so she wanted to send her to the distant U.S. so that she would no longer have anything to do with Rodney. She did not expect that Itzel would think that Celia was her own daughter, and Kelsey was her daughter. Itzel was afraid that the exchange of babies would be exposed, so she wanted to kill Kelsey.
Celia said, “Yes, I didn’t expect it either. But that’s fine. Breanna also wanted to deal with Amber. Now it’s her turn to encourage Kelsey to continue to help us, which saved us a lot of trouble.”
Shannon frowned. “Is this Breanna reliable? I always feel worried. After all, she is Pierce’s younger sister. If she tells these things to Pierce and he tells Amber, won’t it be terrible?”
“Mom, you don’t have to worry about this. Breanna is Elliot’s fiancee. I don’t know how much she hates Amber. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have told me that Amber was pregnant with Rodney’s child and even helped me find a way to deal with Amber. Although Rodney has misunderstood Amber because of his mother and refused to forgive her, he has a deep affection for her. Mel and the child in Amber’s belly
are his flesh and blood. What if he forgives Amber one day? We should still be on our guard and let Amber leave Rodney completely.”
Shannon thought about it for a moment and agreed. “What you said makes sense. We should be more prepared. But you have to remind Breanna not to let Pierce contact Kelsey, or it may be bad.”
Celia smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Mom. Breanna is very clear about Pierce’s feelings for Amber. She won’t be so stupid to ask Pierce to destroy our plan.”
Shannon nodded, but she wanted to find some time to talk to Itzel about this. She wanted to know Itzel’s opinion. With Itzel’s help these days, they were getting closer and closer to their goal. She admired Itzel even more and wanted to discuss anything with her.
Channing had just fainted and was hospitalized. At that time, it was a mess and no one noticed the letter he threw on the ground. It was not until Aunt Maleah cleaned up the study that she saw the letter. Seeing the contents of the letter, Aunt Maleah was shocked and understood the reason why Channing had just fainted.
Aunt Maleah didn’t dare to say anything. When Amber was away, she took the time to ask Channing. Aunt Maleah had been loyal to Channing in the Black family for so many years, and Channing didn’t hide it. He asked Aunt Maleah to keep this matter in the bottom of her heart, especially not to let Amber know. He also said that he would start to deal with Shannon when he thought of a good way.
Aunt Maleah knew that Channing was worried. If Amber knew about this, she would definitely not let go of Shannon. She would definitely spread this matter. At that time, such a scandal would definitely affect Channing’s career, so this matter must be carried out secretly.
Aunt Maleah then asked Channing how he was going to deal with Shannon. Channing had just told Aunt Maleah that he wanted to lock Shannon up first and deal with her when the interrogation was clear.
When Channing had just told Aunt Maleah that he wanted to deal with Shannon, Shannon and Celia lived in a private hospital’s senior ward. Suddenly, they felt their eyelids twitch. “Is something going to happen?”
She was thinking that Channing’s driver had arrived. He said that Channing had suddenly fainted and asked her to go over and take a look.
Shannon heard that Channing had just fainted and left with the driver in a hurry. She didn’t expect that the driver didn’t send her to the hospital, but took her to Channing’s villa in the suburbs.
Seeing that Shannon didn’t ask the driver about the route, the driver replied that the secretary didn’t want to live in the hospital. She said that the villa in the suburbs was fresh, so she planned to talk about it after a few days of illness.
Shannon didn’t know that Channing had a villa in the suburbs. She thought to herself that Channing was really a ghost. She had been married to him for so many years and knew nothing about his property. If he hadn’t been sick this time, she didn’t know how long he would hide it from her. Shannon thought to herself, “Channing has been an official for so many years. He must have collected a lot of property. It seems that I have to find a way to get all his property in the future.”
Thinking of this, the driver drove the car into the villa. When Shannon got out of the car and entered the villa, she saw Aunt Maleah standing in the living room. When she saw Shannon coming in, she pointed to the study and said, “The secretary is waiting for you in the study on the second floor.”
Pushing open the door of the study, Shannon saw Channing sitting in a chair and staring at her. “Didn’t you say that he was not in good health? Why didn’t he lie down and rest?” Shannon asked thoughtfully.
“Can’t you fall asleep?” Channing let out a long sigh.
“Even if you can’t fall asleep, you have to lie down. I’ll help you to the bedroom, okay?” Shannon walked over and was about to help him, but Channing just reached out and grabbed her hand. “How many years have we known each other?”
“It’s been more than 20 years.”
“It’s been such a long time?” Channing’s voice became more and more gentle. “Why did I climb into your bed in the past? It’s incredible.”
“Aren’t you drunk?” Shannon forced a smile. What did Channing mean? He hadn’t talked about this for so many years. Why did he suddenly talk about it? Did he suspect something?
“Back then, I was very panicked and scared. My intuition told me that something that shouldn’t have happened between you and me had happened. But when I thought about it now, I suddenly realized that it was very strange. Why did you have to give birth to this child even though you knew it was wrong? What are you thinking?”
She looked at Channing. The expression on his face was the same as usual, but the more this was the case, the more she couldn’t take it lightly. Channing asked her questions now, and he had asked her before. Shannon’s answer was that she fell in love with him the first time she saw him.
If Channing was not Ashley’s husband, she would definitely pursue him at all costs. Later, she kept this affection in her heart. She did not expect that the incident of being drunk that day, but she did not blame Channing at all. She was willing to give herself to him. Later, after finding out that she was pregnant, she was also very contradictory. In the end, she could not bear to hit the child.
Although she knew that this was not good and would hurt Ashley, her love for Channing made her willing to give birth to this child for Channing. She planned not to tell Channing for the rest of her life. If something had not happened to Ashley, she would have secretly raised the child. But later on,
something had happened to Ashley, and she could not control her yearning for Channing. The child often asked her if she wanted a father, so she took the child to find Channing.
Now Channing had asked this question again. Although Shannon didn’t know what he meant, she still told him what she had said before. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
After hearing what she said, Channing suddenly laughed. In fact, he didn’t believe Shannon’s words at that time. It was just that someone happened to report him that year, and he chose to let Shannon marry him in order to avoid trouble.
Later, when he saw that Shannon knew when to stop, he slowly forgot about these things. If it weren’t for the anonymous letter, he wouldn’t have doubted it for the rest of his life. He thought that he was really stupid to let such a venomous snake stay by his side for so many years. “Ashley has been dead for so many years. Have you ever felt uneasy in your heart these years?”
Her words made Shannon’s heart skip a beat. She forced a smile and said, “Yes, I’ve always been uneasy about what happened that year.”
“Just uneasy? Didn’t you sleep late Club Cobalt? Didn’t you have nightmares and dream of death?” Channing’s voice suddenly became louder.
“What do you mean?” Shannon was stunned.
“What do you mean? Shannon! Look at what this is!” Channing had just smashed the anonymous letter on Shannon’s head.
Shannon picked up the letter that had fallen to the ground. When she saw the content, she panicked. She pretended to be calm. Who did this? Only she and Malone knew what had happened that year. Malone would definitely not rush to do something. Then who was this person?
But now was not the time to figure out the identity of the person who wrote this letter. What she needed to do now was to let Channing believe in her. “Mr. Black, don’t believe this. Someone must have deliberately framed me and ruined our harmony.”
“As the saying goes, there are no waves without wind. Why didn’t that person frame others but just find you to frame him? I thought about it for a while and felt that something was wrong with that drunk night. You wicked woman’s reputation in Parkview Street was not good, so you must be deliberately scheming against me. As long as you know that you are shameless, you will choose to kill the evil child after the accident, not to give birth. And since you secretly gave birth to the child, why didn’t you secretly take the child all these years? Why did you come to me? Don’t say that you can’t bear to see the child without a father. When you choose to give birth to the child, you should know that I won’t admit her!”
“At that time, I really couldn’t bear to let the child have no father, so I came to you.” Shannon defended herself.
“Sly woman, tell me honestly. Have you ever told her that you gave birth to an evil child? Otherwise, she wouldn’t have asked Issac to do her funeral before she died, and she would never have given Amber to Issac. You must have met her in advance!”
Channing was not a fool. In the past, he was afraid and did not think about it in this way. Now, after reading the anonymous letter, there was nothing he could not understand. Ashley must have known everything after she told Ashton about it before she died. Who else could reveal all this except for Shannon? Seeing that Shannon still wanted to lie to him, he could not bear it anymore.
“You wicked woman! Your daughter has a father, but the daughter of Ashley has lost her father. My carefree life has run away from home for this reason at such a young age…”
Channing couldn’t continue. Ashley was killed by Shannon, and Amber was forced to run away from home since he was a child. However, he married this wicked woman and made her live a luxurious life for so many years. He was confused!
“I didn’t! Mr. Black, don’t you know what I have done to you over the years? You can’t wrong me!”
Shannon began to panic as she spoke. Since Channing was suspicious, he would definitely not let her and Celia live a good life in the future.
“Since you feel that Amber has been wronged, then compensate her with all your property. Celia and I don’t want anything. In order not to make you worry, Celia and I will move out. I want you to see that Celia and I have no intention of doing anything to you!”
“Move out?” Channing laughed. “Are you really willing to quit the position of secretary’s wife that you finally got?”
“Mr. Black, I really didn’t covet anything from you. If you insist on saying that I have bad intentions, it means that I love you too much, because I love you so much that I want to stay by your side day and night…”
“Shut up!” Channing slapped Shannon in the face. “Bitch, do you think I’m a fool? Love? How can a bitch like you deserve love?”
“Mr. Black! I know you’re so angry that you don’t believe what I said. It doesn’t matter. I’ll let you believe it. I’ll take Celia away right away. I’m leaving now!”
Shannon retreated to the door of the study. Channing’s current state had just made her scared. She could not help but feel a chill in her heart. She had to leave this place as soon as possible!
Seeing that she was retreating, Channing didn’t respond. Shannon didn’t care about opening the door and was about to run out in a panic. As soon as she went out, she saw the driver and Aunt Maleah standing at the stairs on the second floor looking at her. Both of them had a sneer on their faces.
