The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge
Chapter 347

Chapter 347

Three days went by in the blink of an eye.

Ada Wang finally arrived in Savrow as scheduled, attracting attention both domestically andinternationally.

On the evening of the banquet, Bethany had picked out a splendid purple haute couture gown forherself. She had meticulously curled her hair and done herself up from head to toe. She radiated thesame elegance as always.

Naturally, Shannon also attended in her finest attire. She styled her hair in an elaborate updo, revealinga pair of generously sized emerald earrings and an almost 2-inch-diameter imperial green jadependant. It was as if she was wearing the value of a mansion around her neck.

“Mom, I remember you have a better piece of jade than this one, right? Why don’t you wear that one?”Bethany asked curiously.

“Don’t mention it. Just thinking about it gives me heartache!”

Shannon gritted her teeth and held onto her pendant tightly. “It’s all because of that bitch, Rosalind! Idon’t know what the Gold family has been doing to have millions of dollars in debt!”

“I didn’t have any cash on hand, and the authorities were watching me like a hawk. The boutique hasalso been without customers for two months now, so I had to reluctantly part with that piece of jade andsell it to help pay off some of the Gold family’s debt!”

“My goodness! You’re generous. If I were you, I’d be in tears. That was a birthday gift from Dad!”

Bethany felt the pain for her mother. She asked in confusion, “But I really don’t understand, Mom. Whyare you helping the Gold family? It would be better to let those rotten relatives fend for themselves!”

“Hmph! I wish I could…”

Shannon muttered with a sinister tone. However, when she was grooming Rosalind to cozy up toJustin, Shannon was overambitious and put all her eggs in one basket. It never occurred to her that herown actions would backfire, leaving her with nothing but failure.

Now, not only did she fail to achieve her goal of controlling Justin, but the pawn she groomed ended upthreatening her.

Recently, Rosalind had tasted the sweetness of extorting her aunt for money. Just the day beforeyesterday, Rosalind called Shannon from Meridan to ask for more money. Shannon was so furious thatshe almost considered hiring a hitman to take Rosalind out.

However, killing Rosalind was definitely a last resort. She would not consider it unless it was absolutelynecessary. Thus, she promised Rosalind that she would soon replace an opportunity to work with Rosalindagain and let her return to Savrow. That was how she managed to keep that despicable girl in check.

“Mom, how do I look in this outfit?”

Bethany happily twirled in place, wearing the purple evening gown she chose after seeing how

handsome Ryan looked in a purple shirt. It was as if, by wearing this, she and Ryan would be inmatching outfits. “Tonight, I must be stunning, and I absolutely can’t let down our family’s reputation!”

“The undisputed star tonight is Ada Wang, a renowned international celebrity. Your chances. ofimpressing anyone are minimal. You should focus more on Ryan. Your attention should be on him

rather than competing with those girls. Even if you look more beautiful than them, what’s the point ifRyan doesn’t take another look at you? The doors of the Hoffman family won’t open for you!”

To Shannon, Rosalind was done for, and Carrie had always been a disappointment. Shannon was gladthat Bethany did not disgrace their family. She pinned all her hopes on Bethany and used all means toensure Bethany would marry into a prominent family. A daughter who married well would only make herjourney to seize control of Salvador Corporation smoother. “Mom, you can rest assured. This time, I willdefinitely become Ryan’s wife!” Bethany puffed out her chest, full of confidence.

Shannon raised an eyebrow. “Oh? Do you have a plan?”

“Mom, Ryan’s younger sister, Zoe, has returned from Inalia. She said she would help me! You shouldknow how much Ryan dotes on his sister. With her assistance, I’m confident I can become her sister-in-law!” Bethany became more excited as she spoke, as if she already had one foot in the Hoffman family.

“Zoe?” Shannon’s slender eyebrows tightened as she recalled the times when Ryan used to bring alittle doll to Tideview Manor to meet Justin. That little girl was quite clingy. She seemed to like Justin aswell.

“Well, there’s no free lunch in this world. Aren’t you afraid of being used?” Shannon sat on the sofa,lazily flicking her red nails. “Zoe wouldn’t help you in vain. She must have exchanged some conditionswith you, right?”

“Mom! No wonder Dad loves you so much. You’re really smart!” Bethany sat down beside her mother,holding the heavy dress. “Zoe is interested in Justin, so her condition is to marry Justin.”

“What? This won’t do!” Shannon’s voice suddenly became sharp. “Zoe is the daughter of the Hoffmanfamily. If she marries Justin, that bastard will become even more powerful within Salvador Corporation.If that happens, I won’t have any foothold anymore!”
