Chapter 580
Shannon sat leisurely on the sofa, filing her bright red nails.
Bethany was panting with anger, but she could vaguely sense that her mother’s attitude was somewhat
strange.
In the past, when Bethany had suffered such utter humiliation, Shannon would have stepped up to help
her maintain her dignity.
After all, Bethany was Shannon’s favorite daughter, and this was the
Salvador residence. How could she allow others to do as they please on her own territory?
But this time, Shannon was too calm.
There had been such a bigmotion downstairs that Shannon had to have heard it. So why had she
note down to help Bethany?
“Bethany, I don’t want to see a repeat of something like this in this house ever again. Carrie is my child
too. You two are blood-r sisters. How could you hit her in front of everybody? If your father a
grandfather heard about this, they would definitely me me for n raising you right. You’re already 25
years old, so how could you act a recklessly as a maniac? You keep saying that your sister is retarded,
but I think you’re not that far off either!” Shannon criticized her.
“Mom!”
Bethany stormed up to Shannon and asked her with a fixed re.” When Mr. Hoffman and I were
arguing downstairs, did you see everything?”N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.
Shannon raised a thin eyebrow. “Yes. Why?”
“So you just watched? You saw everything, but you didn’t help me?!”
Bethany was furious. “You didn’t help me-fine. Whatever. But you even allowed Ryan to take Carrie
away? How could you do this?!”
“Why can’t I?” Shannon retorted with a sneer, shocking Bethany.
“Mom… You…”
“Even I’ve given up on Ryan. You still haven’t? Tsk, tsk. I’m amazed at how I managed to give birth to a
stupid, lovesick failure like you, despite being so sensible and intelligent myself.”
Shannon shook her head as she looked at Bethany in disdain. “With the current situation, I can’t ce
all my hopes on you anymore. You’re a useless fool. Since Ryan is interested in your sister, I’ll just
have to go with the flow and support them. Either way, Carrie’s my child too. It’s surprising that Ryan
doesn’t mind that she has congenital deficiencies and is so attached to her. But since that’s the case,
there’s nothing I can do about it. After all, if your sister really bes a couple with Ryan, wouldn’t
you, as her older sister, benefit too?”
Boom-!
Bethany cked out for a second, and all she could hear was buzzing.
What did that mean?
Support them?!
Bethany thought, ‘Mom wanted to support Carrie? Then what about me? What would that make me?!
Am I just a pawn to be thrown away after Mom is done using me? Am I a joke?!’
“Carrie cannot be with Ryan! Absolutely not! I won’t allow it!” Bethany roared at Shannon like a rabid
dog, trembling all over.
This was the first time that she had gotten so angry at the mother she respected so much.
Shannon’s eyes darkened as she picked up the ss of red wine on the coffee table beside her and
stood up to ssh it at Bethany’s face.
It sshed all over Bethany, making her look like a mess.
Bethany was dumbfounded as she stared vacantly at Shannon, red wine dripping down her cheek.
“Who said you could yell at your mother? Where’s your manners?!”
Shannon raised her eyebrows, crushing the expensive wine ss in her hand without hesitation. “If
you’re not satisfied about this, then make sure you make Ryan Hoffman fall for you! But I can tell you,
based on my experience, you should stop dreaming! Ryan will never fall for you, even if you were the
With that, Shannon left with a huff.
Her mother’sst sentence shattered thest bit of Bethany’s self- esteem as well as thest remaining
bit of her conscience.
Bethany’s eyes were red and unblinking as she slowly squatted down to pick up a shard of ss and
clenched her hand around it viciously, uncaring even when blood began to flow.
It was as if she had her hands wrapped around Carrie’s throat.
“Thest woman left on earth? Haha… Then I should make that a reality. They should all just die! And
when they’re all dead, Ryan will be mine!”
