    Janine’s brows were tightly furrowed on the other end of the phone. Worry and anger were written all over her face.


    She was worried about Shannon, and at the same time, angry at Sherry, and frustrated about the eight hundred million that she


    owed.


    Some careful considerationter, she said, “Shannon, don’t worry. You keep an eye on that girl and don’t let her near John. I''ll


    talk to your dad ande up with a solution. I''ll let you know once we have something.”


    “Okay. | got it, Mom. Don’t put yourself or Dad in a difficult situation because of me. |’ll also think of a way.”

    “You just rx and be Mrs. Stockton. Listen to me, keep an eye on that girl, and don’t overthink things. Your father and | will think


    of something.”


    Shannon obediently said, “Thank you, Mom.”


    “You don’t need to thank me. It’s okay, dear. Go to bed.”


    “You too. Good night.”


    The call ended and Shannon sighed a breath of relief.


    As shey down on the bed, she started to ponder. She knew that her mother loved her and would do anything to help her. She


    was just wondering if her parents had


    earned eight hundred million in the past two years in Glenchester


    Janine went to Matthew after the call and told him everything


    Matthew''s expression turned bitter. “John made Sherry his servant?! I''ll go speak to him!” He bolted up and wanted to stride


    outside , but his wife held him back.


    “Calm down! You''ll definitely make him mad if you storm into his house like that. Are you trying to embarrass Shannon?”


    Matthew calmed down but he was full of resentment.” So, I’m just supposed to sit back and watch him order Sherry around like a


    maid? She’s a Fowler! If others find out about it, I’ll be theughing stock of the town!”


    “Only the Stocktons know about this, and | believe Madam Stockton has the same concern as you. If others find out that


    Shannon and her sister are at John’s ce, one as his wife and the other as his servant, people will surely talk about it and


    criticize the Stocktons. I’m sure Madam Stockton will do everything within her capabilities to stop this from going public.”


    Matthew''s bitter expression softened. He recalled the details and asked, “What Shannon means is that if Sherry pays eight


    hundred million back to John, he will release her, isn’t it?”


    “| believe so. Do we even have that much money?” Janine asked.


    Matthew frowned. “Our funds are still floating, and we haven''t even earned eight hundred million in the past two years here in


    Glenchester.”


    “Why don’t we sell the old house at Westchester? It’s located in the prime area, and | believe it’s worth a few hundred million.”


    Matthew red at her. “Dad and Mom left it for us! It’s not for sale!”


    Janine’s brows remained furrowed. “Dad and Mom are gone, so that house belongs to us now. We are doing this for Shannon.


    Why can’t we sell it?” “No!” Matthew raised his voice. “Besides, John invested the money in us as partners. It’s not on loan. He


    only got back around 200 million in the past year, but the project will only increase in value in time. He will eventually get his


    capital back and earn more than ever. If | were to give him eight hundred million now, | might as well give him the money for


    free.”


    He was not an idiot!


    “What about Shannon? Are you going to watch that girl ruin her marriage with John?” Janine was infuriated. “If this gets out, |


    can’t even imagine how people will look at


    Us.”


    “She hasn''t done anything!” Matthew got angry as well. He shouted, “John has feelings for Sherry and even used this sum of


    money to keep her by his side. If you really give him eight hundred million, he will definitely think of another way to trap her! It


    won''t work!”


    Janine’s expression turned cold. “Impossible! He married Shannon! How can he have feelings for Sherry? It must be Sherry


    trying to seduce him, or she must have done something to make him mad!”


    “Stop lying to yourself! If he has the tiniest amount of love for Shannon, he would not have gone on a month — long business trip


    on the day of the wedding! He even brought Sherry home when he came back! Making her a servant is just an excuse!” Matthew


    copsed on the chair, void of strength. He grasped his head and sunk into regret. “If | knew this would happen, | wouldn’t have


    let Shannon marry him. He married Shannon because of Sherry, not because he liked her or anything!”
