Chapter 302: Face-Slapping! Everett Family Infighting, Falling Apart!

Chapter 302: Chapter 302: Face-Slapping! Everett Family Infighting, Falling Apart!

Shannon Everett’s heart trembled. Her balance faltered, and she stumbled backward repeatedly. She thought, "No... impossible... this is impossible!"

Felicity Thorne watched Shannon’s stunned expression, as if she had taken a blow to the head, and continued the introduction. "Shannon, Ms. Sienna Everett is the major shareholder behind the Starlight Consortium, and Mr. Evan Shelby is our true boss. These are the people you wanted to see."

Shannon was completely dumbfounded, her scalp feeling as if it were about to burst. Grinding her back teeth together, she thought, "Sienna... she..."

Meanwhile, in the next room, Morgan Everett and Sheila Whitaker looked just as shocked as Shannon.

"What?" they thought. "Sienna... is the big boss and major shareholder of the Starlight Consortium!"

The Starlight Consortium possessed immense wealth. Its headquarters were in Elysia, with branches scattered all over the world. A single Starlight Consortium was worth at least thirty Everett Corporations. And Sienna was the mastermind behind it all.

Morgan thought, "Just how high is her net worth? If she used the Starlight Consortium to help the Everett family..."

He felt a wave of intense regret wash over him just thinking about it, his gut twisting with remorse.

He thought, "If I had known this earlier, I would have treated Sienna well from the very beginning. The Everett family wouldn’t have been reduced to this state!"

Sheila stared fixedly at Sienna’s figure on the large screen, but her thoughts were not on the Everett family; they were solely on Sienna.

She thought, "She is so outstanding, so omnipotent. Yet, to gain even the slightest bit of parental affection, she was willing to settle in the Everett family. She was willing to compromise and endure grievances..."

Looking at Sienna, and then at Shannon, Sheila closed her eyes in remorse. Tears slid down her cheeks as a heavy wave of regret welled up in her heart.

She thought, "How could I have abandoned such a wonderful treasure and been so blind as to dote on that ungrateful wretch, Shannon?!"

Back in the meeting room.

Felicity quickly pulled out chairs for Sienna and Evan, inviting them to sit.

Sienna sat down with perfect composure, looking at Shannon’s comical expression with high interest.

Evan felt incredibly satisfied. He thought, "Serves her right! Let’s scare this Shannon half to death!"

Shannon finally recovered from her shock. Forced to accept the reality before her, she glared at Sienna in exasperation. "Sienna, you played me!"

She thought, "Since Sienna is the major shareholder behind the Starlight Consortium, wouldn’t she have known long ago that I was selling my shares to them?!"

Compared to Shannon’s disheveled and panicked state, Sienna sat there elegantly. She leaned back, her fingers lazily tapping her knee. "Shannon, so what if I played you?"

"You!" Shannon’s chest heaved violently, her breathing ragged. Enraged, she reached out, wanting to tear Sienna apart.

However, the moment she raised her hand, Felicity immediately shielded Sienna. The assistant guarding the door also rushed in to block her.

Felicity’s face was cold. "Shannon, this is not a place for you to throw your weight around!"

Shannon’s face turned incredibly ugly. This was the Starlight Consortium’s Celestria Branch. In other words, this was Sienna’s turf; she wouldn’t gain any advantage here.

Seeing Sienna sitting on the entire Starlight Consortium while she herself had to wrack her brains scheming for the Everett family’s remaining assets before bankruptcy, Shannon felt an unprecedented surge of anger and jealousy. She was so furious that her insides twisted.

She thought, "The share transfer contract hasn’t been signed yet. Now that the boss behind the Starlight Consortium is Sienna, this contract..."

While Shannon was lost in her thoughts, Sienna casually picked up the contract. Her demeanor was so nonchalant that the thing Shannon valued so much was completely insignificant in her eyes.

"You’re secretly selling the Everett family’s shares. Do you no longer care about Morgan and Sheila in prison?" Sienna asked, waving the contract.

"Heh, why ask when you already know the answer?" Facing Sienna, Shannon couldn’t be bothered to pretend to be weak and sensible anymore.

Sienna’s red lips curled up slightly, a cryptic smile playing on her face. "Morgan dotes on you so much and treats you like his biological daughter. He’d rather go to prison himself than give you up. Are you really just going to abandon him like this?"

Shannon sneered, "Since he dotes on me so much, what’s wrong with him going to prison for me? Sienna, are you going to say again that I act pitiful and sensible in front of Morgan? Heh, that foolish, oblivious man just loves this routine. He dotes on me, not you, his biological daughter. Your jealousy is useless!"

Shannon’s face was plastered with a smug expression. She wanted nothing more than to usurp Sienna’s position as the eldest daughter of the Everett family, seizing the family affection and comfortable life that rightfully belonged to her!

"Jealousy?" Sienna tapped her slender, white fingertips gently against the tabletop and asked with a mocking smile. "As far as I know, Sheila hasn’t been out of the hospital for long, and her body hasn’t fully recovered. Now that she’s locked up in prison, don’t you think her health will only deteriorate?"

Shannon’s face was filled with disdain, her words cold-blooded and ruthless. "What does her poor health have to do with me? I endured her in the hospital ward every day, and I was fed up with it long ago! She should be thanking me! Sheila’s poor health is her own doing. Even if she dies in prison, it has nothing to do with me!"

Sienna lifted her raven-like eyelashes to look at her, a smile on her lips, as if deliberately teasing her. "Aren’t you afraid Morgan and Sheila will hear these words of yours?"

Shannon looked completely fearless, arrogant and conceited. "Morgan and Sheila are locked up in prison. How could they possibly hear? Sienna, it’s useless even if you try to tattle on me. They only believe me, not you!"

As soon as her voice fell, the door to the room was suddenly forced open from the outside.

Annoyed at the interruption, Shannon subconsciously looked up, only to see Morgan and Sheila storming in, their faces flush with absolute fury.

"Dad... Mom... you... I..." Shannon froze instantly. Cold sweat broke out on her back, her heart pounded wildly, and her hands and feet turned icy and began to tremble.

She thought, "Aren’t they in prison? Why are they here?!"
