Chapter 1182Janine’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 sheowed.

Some careful consideration later, she said, “Shannon, don’t worry. You keep an eye on that girl and don’t let her near John. I'lltalk to your dad and come 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.”I

“You just relax and be Mrs. Stockton. Listen to me, keep an eye on that girl, and don’t overthink things. Your father and | will thinkof 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 she lay down on the bed, she started to ponder. She knew that her mother loved her and would do anything to help her. Shewas just wondering if her parents had

earned eight hundred million in the past two years in GlenchesterJanine 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 strideoutside , 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 amaid? She’s a Fowler! If others replace out about it, I’ll be the laughing stock of the town!”

“Only the Stocktons know about this, and | believe Madam Stockton has the same concern as you. If others replace out thatShannon and her sister are at John’s place, one as his wife and the other as his servant, people will surely talk about it andcriticize 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 eighthundred 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 inGlenchester.”

“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 glared 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. Heonly got back around 200 million in the past year, but the project will only increase in value in time. He will eventually get hiscapital back and earn more than ever. If | were to give him eight hundred million now, | might as well give him the money forfree.”

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 ofmoney to keep her by his side. If you really give him eight hundred million, he will definitely think of another way to trap her! Itwon't work!”

Janine’s expression turned cold. “Impossible! He married Shannon! How can he have feelings for Sherry? It must be Sherrytrying 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 tripon the day of the wedding! He even brought Sherry home when he came back! Making her a servant is just an excuse!” Matthewcollapsed on the chair, void of strength. He grasped his head and sunk into regret. “If | knew this would happen, | wouldn’t havelet Shannon marry him. He married Shannon because of Sherry, not because he liked her or anything!”
