Chapter 304: Face-Slapping! Is Shannon Everett an Illegitimate Daughter?

Chapter 304: Chapter 304: Face-Slapping! Is Shannon Everett an Illegitimate Daughter?

Wyatt and Dustin immediately rushed over, surrounding her in excitement. "Sienna, what are you doing here?"

And Julian Forrester—why was he showing up with Sienna again? What exactly was the relationship between those two?

Seeing the disheveled Shannon nearby, Lucas immediately reached out to shield Sienna. "Sienna, did that crazy woman Shannon bully you?"

Sienna was speechless.

Miles stared at Sienna for several seconds before finally noticing Morgan and Sheila standing to the side. He froze slightly. "Mom? Dad?"

"Mason, you guys..." Morgan, displeased at being ignored by his sons, spoke up to ask. "Why are you all here?"

Mason had been staring at Sienna with an excited expression. Hearing Morgan’s question, his face instantly turned cold. He shot a harsh, piercing glare at Shannon. "Shannon, were you trying to secretly sell off shares in Everett Corporation? Over the past month, you even stole the company seal multiple times to transfer corporate assets to your private offshore accounts!"

Morgan furrowed his brows again. Shannon wasn’t just secretly selling company shares, but also embezzling corporate assets?

Transferring them to private offshore accounts? And she had been doing it for a month?

Mason threw a stack of financial statements and evidence down in front of Shannon. "When I went to the company today, I noticed discrepancies in the accounts. Upon closer inspection, I found out you’ve been playing tricks behind our backs! So, you joined the company to help, claiming you wanted to work in finance, but it was actually just to make it easier for you to secretly siphon off funds. Isn’t that right?!"

Sheila thought she had already seen Shannon’s true colors, but she was still shocked by this revelation.

"Shannon, how could you..." she gasped. "I thought you genuinely wanted to help out at the company. It turns out you’ve been planning to take the money and run for an entire month!"

Lucas’s expression was stony. "Shannon, the evidence is right here. Don’t even think about trying to talk your way out of this!"

Shannon stared at the stack of evidence. Damn it, she had clearly destroyed those records. How had Mason found out?

Unfortunately for them, she had already moved the assets.

Shannon suddenly burst out laughing, a vindictive sound. "That’s right! I started planning to transfer the assets a month ago. Who told you all to be so useless? You couldn’t even beat a single Sienna, causing the Everett family to fall into such a pathetic state! Whoever wants to stay in such a miserable, washed-up family can stay. I certainly don’t!"

Sheila glared furiously at Morgan. "Are you still protecting her, even now?!"

This Shannon was simply a monster in human clothing!

Just moments ago, she was claiming that everything in the Everett family belonged to her. Yet the moment she saw the family’s decline, she wanted to suck them dry of their last drop of blood. She was selfish and only cared about herself!

Morgan, however, remained silent and didn’t utter a word.

"Protecting Shannon?" Wyatt’s temper immediately flared. "Dad, how can you still protect her?!"

"Exactly, Dad! Is someone like her even worth it?" Dustin was equally angry.

Amid the chaos, Mason hesitated for a couple of seconds before finally pulling a photograph from his coat pocket. He spoke in a calm, flat voice. "I found this photo in a drawer in Father’s office today. Take a look."

Miles and Lucas immediately looked down. It was a picture of a man and a woman standing together.

The two were holding hands and smiling at the camera, appearing to have a very intimate relationship.

Miles recognized him at a glance. The man in the photo was Morgan in his younger years!

And the young woman in the photo actually looked somewhat similar to Shannon!

Especially her mouth—it was practically a carbon copy!

Was this... Shannon’s mother?

[PS: Don’t jump to conclusions about whether Shannon is an illegitimate daughter just yet. The truth will be revealed soon enough~]
