The man just now was Landon Sutton?!
No wonder he told her to call the police, nothing could scare him off.
This man is a mysterious figure, with handsome looks and exceptional intelligence, rumored to be almost like a mythical figure.
No matter how handsome he is, he’s just a beast in human skin, a vile person who takes advantage of others’ misfortunes.
Shannon Quinn got out of bed, looking at that glaring red on the white sheets, her heart and mind even more chaotic.
She wasn’t lying when she said she had a husband; she really has been married for two years, but she had never seen what her husband looked like.
Her title sounds nice enough, the second Young Madam of the Rhodes Family, but everyone in town knows that the second son of the Rhodes Family isn’t a normal person.
Some say he’s disabled by birth, some say he’s hideously ugly, and when she first married into the family she had already imagined the beauty and the beast scenario, yet strangely, she had never seen her husband at all.
Sometimes she wondered whether this person truly existed.
However, no matter how, the Rhodes Family had spent money to save her father’s company from ruin back then, so regardless of what her husband was like, since she was married, she should stay true to this marriage.
But now, such a thing happened.
Guilt, self-blame, regret, and hatred...
The dress had signs of tearing, but barely wearable, before leaving she picked up the money scattered on the ground; anyone could have a quarrel, but not with money.
Enduring the pain in her body, she walked out of the hotel and took a taxi straight back to her place.
As soon as she got home, she took a shower, rubbing her body hard, as if that could wash away the humiliation.
The buzzing sound accompanied by the vibration of her phone rang, it was the butler calling to urge her.
Today was the day for the Rhodes Family’s ancestral rites, and she, as the second Young Madam of the Rhodes Family, naturally couldn’t be absent.
Seeing herself covered in bruises in the mirror, she chose a long black dress to conceal them.
The Rhodes Family is a prosperous family, Rhodes Enterprises has spread across the whole country, holding a significant position in the entire business world.
But also because of this, the family hides many conflicts, the private intrigue is comparable to palace dramas.
Rhodes Manor is located in the suburbs, the villa compound covers nearly a thousand square meters, when Shannon Quinn arrived, almost everyone in the Rhodes Family, both old and young, was there.
Due to her position as the second Young Madam of the Rhodes Family, those people on the surface would give her some face.
"Shannon, the whole family has been waiting for you, why are you so late?" June Yardley was the first to walk up to greet her, eyeing her up and down, seemingly trying to find some clues from Shannon, but alas, Shannon’s long dress was too tightly covered.
Seeing June Yardley walking towards her, Shannon Quinn wanted nothing more than to rush up and slap her twice.
Thinking with her toes, she knew that last night’s incidents were the doing of this woman, they usually had no contact, yet last night she kindly suggested meeting up to socialize.
It was because of that drink that she lost herself after marriage.
Shannon Quinn took a deep breath, looking deeply at June Yardley with a smile, "It was all thanks to your kindness last night, Sister-in-law."
June Yardley curled her red lips, leaning closer to Shannon Quinn and whispered in her ear, "Consider yourself lucky to have escaped, otherwise, do you think you’d still have the right to stand here and talk to me today?"
Shannon Quinn paused, thinking, could Landon Sutton not be part of June Yardley’s plan? Did June Yardley not know what really happened?
But then again, June Yardley wanted to ruin her, not bring her such an outstanding man.
"What a pity, now Sister-in-law’s fox tail is swaggering out in the open, if you want to sneak attack again in the future, I’m afraid there’s no chance."
"Hmph, you’re still too green to play with me, it’s only a matter of time before you’re kicked out of the Rhodes Family." Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by NoveI(F)ire.net
"Sister-in-law is so arrogant before even passing through the gate, speaking of which today is the Rhodes Family’s ancestral rite day, you don’t even seem qualified to be here." After saying this, Shannon Quinn walked away from June Yardley, ignoring her pale face, striding in her high heels.
