Chapter 13 Bribery

The woman approaching Shannon seemed capable and refreshing. She was in a white shirt and tight black pants, and her hair tied back high.

However, Shannon did not know her.

“Sorry, I have to go back right now.” Shannon refused her request.

The pretty woman held Shannon’s hands and whispered, “Would you like to make a deal and earn a mint?”

Shannon found it funny. She suspected that the woman was a fraud who organized pyramid schemes. So, she took her hands away impolitely, “I am not interested. Please get out of the way.”

Unexpectedly, the woman was so strong that Shannon could not shake her off.

“I know that you are working for Ethan. How about you provide me with a private information about him, and I will give you one million in return?” The woman was so arrogant, as if she knew Shannon well.

Shannon stood in amazement, and finally understood that this woman was a media reporter.

The woman wanted to buy off her to learn about Ethan’s private life.

Ethan’s name alone was enough to bring countless money to tabloid journalists, so they tried their best to keep track of him, and racked their brains to uncover his privacy.

Tireless as they were, they made a living from this. Unless Ethan disappeared from the world, they would always rely on him to make gimmicks.

A business card was stuffed into the hands of Shannon. The woman whispered in her ear, “Call me if you come round”. Then she let go of Shannon.

When she was gone, Shannon smashed the card without hesitation, and then threw the pieces into a dustbin.

Since she worked for Ethan, she would never betray him. He was not only a world-famous superstar, but also a philanthropist with great love. He donated a million dollars to her family, even though that was taken away by Sienna.

Shannon forgot about this within a minute.

Going back to the villa, she gave the milk powder to Mason and the pads to Lillian.

Lillian seemed to treat her better than before.

Two peaceful days passed. Shannon went to the hospital to visit Hazel while Wesley and Nancy were asleep. She also inquired about the whereabouts of her sister and found nothing about her.

Hazel seemed good after the medical treatment. She ceaselessly asked about where Sienna had gone. In order to comfort her, Shannon lied and told her that Sienna was at work and would come and visit her later.

Back to the Gothic villa, it was almost dusk. Shannon stepped up her pace.

“Shannon, Owen has diarrhea after eating the milk powder. He is now hungry and yelling. I can’t leave. Can you help me take half a day off from Coade? Thank you.” Mason said worriedly.

Shannon was very sorry to hear about it, so she agreed readily.

After all, she was the one who bought the milk powder.

Coade didn’t grant his leave. Instead, he severely urged Shannon to take care of Wesley and Nancy.

She had to go back to the bedroom and found the babies woke up, stretching their arms to reach Shannon. She went over and fed them immediately.

The two babies held Shannon tightly with their small hands waving in front of Shannon.

They lay in the arms of Shannon and stared at her, smiling. She couldn’t stand to kiss them several times.

“How lovely you are. You should smile to your dad like this whenever he felt unhappy. Then he must be in a good mood.”

“Hee-hee...”

“Yeah-yeah...”

Wesley and Nancy felt happy for this.

Thinking of Owen, Shannon put the babies in the stroller and pushed them out for a walk.

Later, she saw Mason swaying back and forth to comfort Owen. But Owen kept crying.

“Mason, I am sorry. Coade dismissed your leave. This is my fault. I did not check the production date carefully when I bought the milk powder.” Shannon said regretfully.

Mason did not blame her, “Shannon, that’s not your fault. The milk powder did not expire. It’s possible that Owen didn’t digest well. But now he is very hungry and Coade does not approve the leave. It is really killing me. Mr. Yates would agree to my request if he’s here.”

Shannon looked at Wesley and Nancy who were playing in the stroller happily. She thought for a while and said to Mason, “How about this...”
