Chapter 548
Shannon thought, ‘After all, Louise did do a paternity test back then. But what if the paternity test was fake?’
Her heart skipped a beat.
If the contents of the letter were true and Louise was an imposter, then she wanted to make sure that she wouldn’t alert Louise. She had to think of a perfect solution.
Shannon gripped the letter tightly. She looked around the room and stuffed it under the wardrobe. This spot was well hidden. One would not be able to see it unless they moved the wardrobe over.
What Shannon needed to do now was to get the evidence. She wanted to get Louise’s hair and do a paternity test with Marshall. Only when she had all the evidence could she defeat Louise successfully. Louise was now deeply trusted by Marshall. If Shannon told Marshall now, she knew that Marshal would never believe her.
Shannon was afraid that she would lose control of her emotions if she went out and bumped into Louise, so she slept in Ava’s room that night.
After a night of calming down, her mood was much better.
When she saw Louise in the morning, she greeted her as if nothing had happened.
Louise smiled and said, “Shannon, are you not angry with me anymore? That’s great!”
Shannon was unable to smile, but she still tried her best to smile. “You’re Marshall’s daughter after all. It won’t do me any good to go against you.” Louise smiled. Her smile was filled with the brilliance of victory.
While eating, Shannon looked up at Louise from time to time, wondering how she could get her hair.
No matter how she thought about it, she could not think of a foolproof solution. Louise had already finished her breakfast and left.
Shannon was the only one left in the house. She put down her fork and went upstairs to Louise’s room.
She turned the doorknob and realized that the door was locked.
She called a servant over, but the servant said, “Mrs. Adkins, Miss Adkins doesn’t want us to enter her room. The key to her room has already been taken.” Shannon narrowed her eyes. “She won’t let you into her room?”
The servant replied, “Yes, Mrs. Adkins. When Miss Adkins wants to clean the room, she will then let us in to clean it when she’s in the room.”
Shannon nodded. “I understand. You can leave now!”
She thought, ‘Not letting anyone into her room, just this alone is very suspicious!’
*****
Nova did not complain to Brian about Louise going to the Finance Department. She simply became more distant to Brian. She started driving herself home every day.
When Jasmine saw that the two of them were always going in and out separately, she knew that the two of them were fighting again. One night, she reprimanded Brian again
QUMS
Nova did not hesitate and told Jasmine about Louise going to the Finance Department.
Jasmine said in shock, “How can you do that? The Finance Department has always been controlled by the members of the Francis family. Either that or my family is taking control of it. Why should Louise go to the Finance Department?”
Brian frowned and said, “Mom, I’ve thought about this when I promised to transfer her to the Finance Department, so I’ve been keeping an eye on her after she goes to the Finance Department. She won’t trick me if she does anything. You have to have a reason to chase her out of the Francis Group. If she really did something wrong in the Finance Department, it won’t be too late to let her leave. What do you think?”
Brian’s words were not unreasonable. If Brian simply fired Louise without a cause, it would indeed make the Francis family seem unreasonable. Jasmine was still very unhappy. “Then you can let her go to other departments!”
Brian said, “She’s already there. Let’s wait for a while!”
This topic ended just like that.
Nova went upstairs in a low mood. Brian sat downstairs for a while before going upstairs as well.
