Her Revenge Returns (Lea and Alfred)

Chapter 370

Chapter 370

Lea grunted in acknowledgment and lowered her head to continue handling her work.

“Get them to wait in the reception room; I will be there shortly,” Shannon instructed

“Understood, Miss Shannon, the person replied.

Ten minutes later, Shannon arrived at the reception room of the technical department.

The reception room was very small, only about a hundred square feet, with a small round table and two old chairs.

The hospital had many patients, and land use was extremely tight. Many of the single rooms in the inpatient department had been converted into multiple rooms, and the original multi–bed rooms had more beds added. As such, even the corridors had been converted into temporary wards.

The patients had significant complaints, but the hospital

spital only responded: “If you want treatment, stay. If not, go to another hospital

With that, all the patients eventually complied after realizing that everything else was negotiable as long as they c

could receive treatment.

The technical department had a genuine need for space, which was why they had set up such a small reception room.

Lea had been extremely frugal in this regard, and she took it to the extreme. Because of this, she had saved a considerable amount of money, which was then used as research funding for the

hospital.

When Shannon opened the door and entered, Jessie and her husband were already seated by the small table.

She wore the latest winter collection dress, and Quintin wore a perfectly tailored luxurious suit.

The c

couple furrowed their brows as they said uncomfortably, appearing out of place in the cramped space.

They knew the hospital had strong financial backing and could easily afford to buy another building for expansion. Yet, they insisted on crowding into this old building, which was still full of the atmosphere of the early startup phase. They did not like it at all, but when they remembered the purpose of their visit, their mood improved.

When Shannon entered the room, the couple fixed their gaze on her and were momentarily stunned.

Shannon was wearing simple straight–leg jeans, and her top was a plain white undershirt that cost less than 20 dollars from a street vendor.

Jessie had rarely seen such inexpensive clothing in her life, but when she thought about Shannon’s current worth, it became somewhat more acceptable to her.

Moreover, Shannon had inherited the best features of their appearances. Both Jessie and Quintin came from prominent families, and neither was unattractive. Shannon had grown into her looks, blossoming beautifully with youth and radiance.

Her

confidence, which emanated from within, made her shine even more brightly.

Quintin was a

was a man, so he did not pay much attention to clothing. What he valued more

e were prospects and potential.

“Shannon, you are here. You are so busy, Come, sit down,” Jessie stood up to offer her a seat and said.

Shannon responded, “There is no need for that, Mrs. Moore. You may sit Tam busy and will clarify a few things and return to work.” She remained standing at the door, her posture straight, her expression indifferent, and her attitude firm.

This time, she was so calm and composed that it could be said she was completely unconcerned.

Shannon’s response was completely unexpected for the couple, and their expressions immediately changed.

“Shannon?” Jessie spoke, her voice filled with confusion and panic. “Donna has already been sentenced, and it was the most severe sentence. Leo… Leona is also already in prison.

“The two of them, mother and daughter, will no longer be able to affect our family in any way.

“In the past, it was all because of that wretched woman, Donna.” Now, whenever Jessie mentioned her, she ground her teeth in hatred.”

How much had their family invested in Leona? How much effort had they wastedt it had all gone down the drain, and they had even destroyed the relationship between mother and daughter.

Jessie lamented, “It was also my fault. When you were born, I should have watched over you bettert

“Shannon, I was wrong. Can you forgive me?” As she spoke, Jessie stepped forward, grasping Shannon’s hands. Her eyes brimmed with tears as her body bent slightly, showing some remorse.

Even if it required her to kneel down and admit her mistakes, she was willing to do so.

Shannon’s favor was vital to their small family’s survival and prosperity.

“Shannon…” Quintin also choked up. I am sorry for what we did to you…”

Shannon merely glanced at them indifferently. Given the Moore family’s circumstances at the time, the fact that Donna–a mere nanny–could switch the babies showed how negligent the couple had been and how careless the servants were.

Clearly, they did not care about her when she was born.

But none of that mattered anymore, she found it irrelevant.

The regret they expressed did not come from the heart. She, their child, had never truly been of any significance to them.

Back then, when Jessie was pregnant, she went for a fetal gender test. Upon learning it was a girl, she was deeply disappointed. As time went on, she even resented the fact that she was not currying a boy, and because of this, she did not take good care of herself during the pregnancy.

After leaming the baby was a girl, Quintin also became neglectful toward both mother and daughter.

What he needed was a son an heir.

Moreover, with his busy work schedule, he was not even present when the child was born.

Later, when he developed health problems, Jessie was unable to conceive again, so they had no choice but to raise Leona to be their heir.

“Mr. Moore, Mrs. Moore, there is no need to dwell on these pointless matters. Let us get straight to the point. You want me to join the Moore family and acknowledge my ancestral roou?” Shannon crossed her arms over her chest, her demeanor calm and wise as she questioned them.

What had happened at the bar had completely transformed her, making her grow up.

The next day, Chris had sought her out to talk, offering advice and guidance. She could now see through the situation’s benefits and drawbacks and knew how to handle it.

Hearing Shannon’s words, the couple’s eyes lit up with excitement. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“Of course, we are here to bring you back home so our family can be reunited,” Jessie said eagerly, unable to contain herself

“And what benefit would there be for me to return to the Moore family Shannon questioned, raising an eyebrow. Her expression was cold, and she did not seem to be facing her own parents but rather negotiating with strangers over profit–sharing.

She added coldly, “I am living well now, my studies are going well, my work is going well, and I even hold shares in Riverview Hospital. Without even considering the future, just at this moment I already have assets worth millions.

“And what about you? Aside from the shares in Moore Group and the ancestral properties, what else do you have?”

Her hacking skills had matured, making it easy for her to investigate the Moore family and their estate.

Shannon continued, “Even if we count the shares in Moore Group, the company has had very low profits recently, with barely any money to distribute to shareholders.

“You are living off your past gains, and I do not see any promising future.

“How much are those Moore Group shares even worth?

“So, what beneft would I have when I retum to the Moore family?”

Her tone was light, with a cold indifference that showed she did not care about the Moore family and had no desire to return.

The couple’s faces turned deathly pale. As members of an old, traditional, wealthy family, they valued their reputation above all else. At this moment, their dignity was being stripped away, leaving them humiliated and ashamed.

They could not believe she could say such things with such an attitude.

She was their daughter, after all.

It was hard to accept, but they were powerless to change it

The pride and dignity that they had upheld their entire lives seemed to shatter, and even their usually straight backs could no longer stay upright.

Shannon looked at them coldly, a flicker of emotion briefly surfacing in her clear eyes before she said, “Please, the two of you should leave.”

She truly did not want to return to the Moare family, nor did the want to be part of their family.

than what she had with them.

These were the people she wanted as her family.

After saying this, she turned around, opened the door, and was about to leave

After saying this, she turned around, opened the door, and was about to leave,

If he let her leave now, there would be no way to bring her back, and he could not afford that.

He asked, “What mist we do for you to return?”
