Shannon turned around and swiftly replied. “Half of the Moore Group shares in your hand.”
At her words, both Quintin and Jessie turned pale.
Quintin’s body swayed, and his ashen face instantly turned a sickly gray. He struggled to breathe as a breath got caught in his windpipe and coughed heavily a few times.
He held less than twenty percent of the Moore Group’s shares, and these were the shares he had fought desperately to obtain within the family
since birth.
He sacrificed a great deal over the decades amid family power struggles.
When his illness hadn’t yet threatened his life,
life, these shares were his lifeblood.
Handing half of the shares would also mean surrendering his control within the Moore family. Hearing this all of a sudden, he couldn’t accept it.
“Careful!” Jessie quickly reached out to steady him, afraid he might fall, as she called out
Then, looking at her, her pupils dilated, her eyes bloodshot, filled with sharpness and vigilance, as if she were staring at a wolf. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
A sarcastic, cold smile flickered across Shannon’s lips, too brief for them to notice.
See, this was their attitude. They never truly considered her one of them, let alone their daughter
Since they brought her back to the Moore family, she was supposed to be their heir. Eventually, the shares in their hands would all belong to her.
Even if they gave her the shares now, she would still be with them, still a part of them, essentially, nothing would change. But they were unwilling
Shannon turned and walked out directly, returning to her office to work overtime.
Quintin’s body
y went limp, and Jessie quickly helped him sit back in the chair as she asked, “Are you okay!”
He remained silent, his face cold.
After a while, he muttered. “How could that girl be so unreasonable… It wasn’t just unreasonable, it was outright defiance, but now wasn’t the time to complain..
“What should we d
we do now?” Jexile asked
Quintin took a deep breath, trying to steady his breathing, but he still hadn’t decided
The assistant pushed the door open with a light creak and stated, “Mr. Moore, Mrs. Moore, we urgently need the meeting room. Should I see you
Needing the meeting room was jus an excuse, but the couple was being asked to leave.
With this, the couple had no choice but to leave for now,
The next day, in the afternoon after school; the evening sunlight had already turned a reddish– orange, and the sky was filled with a dramatic, colorful sunset.
When Lea and her group walked to the school gate, it caused quite a stir.
Someone commented, “Look, whose family is it? This is such a grand spectacle
Outside the school gate, five or six luxury cars were lined up, with over a dozen bodyguards and servants standing by. There were even bodyguards inside the cars. Such a grand display was indeed rare at Conrad University’s entrance.
A student asked, “Which important person has arrived?”
“Are they here to pick someone up?” Another questioned.
A third one
one responded, “That’s impossible. What student could command such a display?”
Someone else commented. The Erickson family’s cars are over there, but Miss Abigail isn’t here”
The students murmured, “Let’s not leave yet, let’s watch!”
The car doors opened, and the owners stepped out
Upon seeing the owners, the students gasped. “Huh! Isn’t that Mr. and Mrs. Moore!”
Many students who Loew Leona and this recognized them were shocked and puzzled.

In summary, it was beneficial with no harm
Shannon took a deep breath, looking at Lea Willow, and Steve who stood around her
The three of them looked at her with calm determination, showing respect and support.
Willow’s emoti fluctuated somewhat, but she kept them hidden.
Honestly, the grand display from the Moore family seemed extravagant and superficial to her. She teh she didn’t experience the genuine care of parents for their children, and this was not even as valuble as a meal her parents mude
But from the previous entanglements between Donna and them, she could tell that these were emotionally indifferent parents.

Seeing their cares. Shannon let out a sigh of relief.
She knew that Quintin would agree because it concerned his life and death. He had no choice.
But when faced with it her heart wasn’t as calm as she had imagined
Yet, seeing Lea’s determined gare, she gathered herself and became resolute
“Mm” she nodded at the couple, gratefully accepting the contract with a genuine, faint smile, showing her respect as she greeted. Thank you, Mom
and Dad?”
Returning to the Moore family was also a good option.
Although the Moore family had declined somewhat, they were still a second–tier family in the capital. They could connect with many powerful
Lea had always been the one supporting and protecting her, helping her to grow, but everyone gets tired, has moments of weakness, and needs help and protection.
Moreover, they came from Vaporleon City and had no roots in the capital. As such, they were considered country bumpkins by others.
All of them, especially Shannon, were always at the bottom, trampled on, despised, and ridiculed.
It was a really awful feeling and if given a chance, she certainly wanted to climb up desperately.
She had done so, but even Lea was looked down upon.

Lea was so outstanding|
Now, with such an opportunity right before her, she would work hard to carve out her own space and live freely. Life is just a few decades long
More importantly, when Lea needed it in the future, she could also become her support, just as Lea was for her
Seeing her like this, the Moore couple felt a shock
The term “Mom and Dad stirred waves in their hearts that they had never anticipated
Her demeanor was graceful and elegant, completely different from what they had previously thought. Her confident and dignified appearance was precisely what they had always wanted in a noble young lady.
They had invested so many resources and effort in Leona, but Shannon had these qualities innately. It was a delightful surprise.
The couple repeatedly murmured in response. “Good!”
