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 andtwo old chairs.

The hospital had many patients, and land use was extremely tight. Many of the single rooms in theinpatient department had been converted into multiple rooms, and the original multi–bed rooms hadmore 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 aslong as they c

could receive treatment.

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

Lea had been extremely frugal in this regard, and she took it to the extreme. Because of this, shehad 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 thesmall 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 crampedspace.

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

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

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

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

Moreover, Shannon had inherited the best features of their appearances. Both Jessie and Quintincame 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 andsaid.

Shannon responded, “There is no need for that, Mrs. Moore. You may sit Tam busy and will clarify afew things and return to work.” She remained standing at the door, her posture straight, herexpression 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 immediatelychanged.

“Shannon?” Jessie spoke, her voice filled with confusion and panic. “Donna has already beensentenced, 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 mentionedher, she ground her teeth in hatred.”

How much had their family invested in Leona? How much effort had they wastedt it had all gonedown 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 youbettert

“Shannon, I was wrong. Can you forgive me?” As she spoke, Jessie stepped forward, graspingShannon’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 hadbeen 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 anysignificance 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 curryinga 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 nochoice 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 tothe point. You want me to join the Moore family and acknowledge my ancestral roou?” Shannoncrossed 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 seethrough the situation’s benefits and drawbacks and knew how to handle it.

Hearing Shannon’s words, the couple’s eyes lit up with excitement.

“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, raisingan eyebrow. Her expression was cold, and she did not seem to be facing her own parents but rathernegotiating with strangers over profit–sharing.

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

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

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

Shannon continued, “Even if we count the shares in Moore Group, the company has had very lowprofits 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 andhad no desire to return.

The couple’s faces turned deathly pale. As members of an old, traditional, wealthy family, theyvalued their reputation above all else. At this moment, their dignity was being stripped away, leavingthem 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 theirusually straight backs could no longer stay upright.

Shannon looked at them coldly, a flicker of emotion briefly surfacing in her clear eyes before shesaid, “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?”
