Chapter 901
Curled up into a ball inside the closet, Linny held a bottle of red wine shakily
The shock drained her complexion of color, and her eyes were
bloodshot as if she had a good cry.
Linny pondered what she should do.
What should she ever do?
She contemplated the first party to whom she should divulge the horrifying secret.
The option was between Justin and Bella.
After calming Shannon down, Bethany headed back to her room.
While changing Shannon into fresh, clean clothes, Bethany shudder at the sight of the needle marks along her mother’s arm.
Gregory and Shannon barely shared a room. In fact, the problem in their marriage has grown bigger since the incident with Celeste.
If the married couple were to lie in the same bed, there was no telling what Gregory would think when he saw those needle marks.
Bethany found Linny standing blankly outside her bedroom door with a bottle of red wine in hand.
Linny had a grim look.
“Ms. Bethany, I’ve brought you the wine. Should I decant the wine for you?” Linny asked cautiously.
“No need for that. Just give it to me. You are dismissed.”
Bethany snatched the bottle out of Linny’s hand and walked into the room before slamming the door behind her.
Linny stood there, her outfit drenched by cold sweat.
Bethany was no longer in the mood to drink once she returned to her
room.
Her mind wandered to the doctor Shannon talked about, and fear settled in. She needed to find time to run a background check on him.
Bethany took out her dried facial mask and washed her face. She removed her bathrobe and opened her closet to get her pajamas.
Suddenly, she froze as a heavy feeling sank in. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
Bethany was a pretty careless person, but she watched her stuff like a hawk. She could spot any problems or misplacement issues right
away.
She knew her things in the closet were touched as a wave of hot, sweltering air hit her in the face.
It struck Bethany that she did hear something coming from the bedroom when she was talking with Shannon earlier.
She pulled out her phone and tapped on the surveillance app.
That was right. She had an app for surveillance.
Bethany, despite living foolishly for most of her life, had installed surveillance cameras in her bedroom.
Heck, the cameras had been there for a while. Like her mother, Bethany did not trust anyone. She always had the feeling that the household help would go through her stuff while she was not around.
Gritting her teeth, Bethany retrieved the surveillance video.
The video showed that not long after Bethany left her room, Linny came in with a bottle of wine and hid inside. When Bethany drew close, Linny took cover in the closet.
Bethany let out a scream and threw her phone away.
It became apparent that Linny had heard the conversation between her and Shannon.
Linny had found out about the awful secret.
As sweat drenched her back, Bethany gnashed her teeth and paced
around her room.
She grabbed her phone again, her fingertips trembling as she dialed
Shannon’s number.
“What’s the matter? I’m in bed,” Shannon asked languidly.
“Mom… I’ve got news!”
All shivered up in bed, Bethany uttered, “Linny eavesdropped on us.
She was hiding in my closet. I caught her on video.”
