Could it be that Shannon was suspecting my identity? The contents of the letter might have revealed the fact that I was not Marshall's daughter!' Louise thought.
If that was the case, everything made sense!
Ava had followed Louise to the park because she had read the letter and suspected her.
Shannon had chosen not to expose her for the past five years. This means that she must have found out about this only recently.
Shannon had kept this fact from Marshall too. It seemed that Shannon wanted to get ironclad evidence before exposing Louise.
Hmph! We'll see who gets the last laugh!' Louise thought.
She was determined to not let Shannon get her way.
Shannon was about to return to the kitchen with the tray, but when she walked past Louise, she slipped. "Oh dear!"
Shannon aimed at Louise's head and reached to grab her hair.
Louise had predicted that Shannon would do that. She nimbly tilted her head to the side and grabbed onto Shannon's arm.
"Auntie, why are you so careless? Is the ground too slippery?"
Shannon's expression seemed to falter slightly before she smiled. "Yes, perhaps this pair of shoes is a little slippery. Be careful when you walk."
"Have a seat, Auntie. I'll take the tray back."
Marshall did not question this small interlude. He just thought that their relationship had gotten closer.
For the entire day, Shannon tried various ways to get a strand of Louise's hair, but to no avail.
Shannon's last resort was to change all the locks at home.
"Dad, I've thought about it. Brian fell into Nova's trap because he felt that Nova was very capable. The second that Top Group goes bankrupt, she would lose all value in Brian's eyes and Brian would throw her away. That way, he and I would be able to reconcile.
"Her company just started up. Adkins Group has a deep history and a big influence in Capern City. It will be easy for us to crush them."
Marshall nodded and frowned. "Louise, Dad has been pressuring her, but if we go too far, it will backfire."
"Is there a better option other than this?" Louise asked and analyzed, "If you don't take advantage of this moment, she will definitely take revenge on us when she marries Brian!"
Marshall thought about it and felt that what Louise said made sense. They have already offended Nova. In the future, if she wanted to take revenge, there was no way she would let Adkins Group off the hook.
Louise returned to her room after convincing Marshall.
Sure enough, she saw that the strand of hair on the bedsheet was gone.
Meanwhile, Shannon carefully put the strand of hair into a small bag. She was so excited that she did not sleep much the entire night.
