Chapter 374
Shannon brand everything
g that everyon
his high–end dress and personally
She now understood why Chris didn’t let her use the dress and car sent by the Moure family but instead chose this drove her in a luxury car.
In comparison, the dress her parents sent was an out–of–season design, with only a mid–level grade, and the car was an older, mid–tier model.
If she had shown up in front of these people like that, she would have appeared very ordinary
Now, she could suppress these people on the surface,
This was exactly the effect she wanted. It could give the Moore family enougli prestige, suppress those who might cause trouble, and help her establish herself in this family.
At the same time, she also realized that she was still far from being truly strong and could only rely on Chris
She knew she had to work harder to become strong soci
She gently raised the corners of her mouth, took two steps towards the Moore couple, directly reached out to take Jessie’s hand, and asked them “Dad, Mom. Are these uncles, aunts, brothers, and sisters here to welcome me home?
Since this was a family banquet held to welcome her, it was reasonable and close–knit for her to address the guests this way,
Her voice was pleasant, and she controlled the volume and tone perfectly, exuding an aura winile remaining polite and appropriate.
Jessie was suddenly shocked. She tightened her grip on the hand holding hers, and when she looked up at her again, she finally dared to confirm that this was indeed Shannon.
“Yes… yes!” She was so
as so excited that her voice trembled violently. Glancing at her husband, her eyes filled with uncontrollable joy, she replied. These people are all here to welcome you home.
“Min!” Quintin nodded excitedly. His face flushed with excitement, his head involuntarily lifted higher, and his entire demeanor was full of vigor
He hadn’t felt this proud in many years
“What? What The surrounding wealthy women were utterly incredulous as they
The younger members of the Moore family were also dumbfounded.
They murmured, “What did the Bentley lady say?”
Another questioned. “Did she say she’s that wild child, that worthless one!”
Others gasped, “How is that possible?”
The rest were in denial, “I must be hallucinating”
But Quintin had already begun introducing her to the elders.
Yes, she was indeed Shannon Yancey.
No, from now on, she was Shannon Moore.
Everyone’s faces fell; they couldn’t accept such a stark contrast
At this moment, Lea and Willow finally stepped out of the car
Lea
was wearing a simple black dress
Willow was dressed in a beige–white cocktail dress
lectively gasped
Today was Shannon’s day, so both of them kept a low profile, dressing quite simply. Now, everyone’s attention was focused on Shannon, and no one paid much attention to them
They, aking with Chris, who stayed in the back, the group followed the crowd into the banquet hall
After entering the ball, the Moore couple had already taken their daughter around to introduce her to the guests, Jessie was now introducing her to a wealthy lady in her circle.
“Shannon, how did you manage to borrow that Bentley?” the lady askeil, her tone tinged with jealousy as she glanced towards the car parked outside the floor–to–ceiling windows.

Shannon naturally understood what she meant and smiled, “I was borrowed. The car’s owner personally drove us here.”
“No, what I meant was, you know, that luxury car collector,” she suddenly realized and glanced towards the lack, Chris, Lea, and a few others quietly stayed together, appearing inconspicanus in her ey
Her face darkened immediately, and she commented, “Miss Moore, your words ilon’t seem sincere enough”
She had just met her and was already tr
y trying to deceive het.
even though she was an elder
“The car really belongs to Chris,” Shannon said with a smile. Her face was bright and cheerful, but her tone was full of certainty.
The lady gasped, “How how could that be?“
How could someone like Chris, who was just a working woman, possibly own such a car?
“Could it be that someone recently gave it to her?” The lady asked as she stared mockingly at Chris in the distance and commented, “Riverview Hospital is indeed doing quite well recently. Many big investors must be seeking her out. Investors are always willing to spend big money, and someone like her couldn’t resist such temptations”
She retracted her gaze and looked back at Shannon, adding, “But Miss Moore, don’t you know? This is bribery, and it’s practically a life sentence for something of this magnitude”
Jessie’s face turned pale, and Quintin stood by them in silence.
This was the first time their daughter had returned home, the first time meeting these elders. Knowing her past experiences, they were both very nervous, afraid she might make a mistake, so they followed her closely.
At this point, his face also couldn’t hold up anymore.
She was directly accusing Chris of committing a crime and accusing Riverview Hospital of committing a crime, and these were all her daughter’s friends. This was essentially not giving the Moore family any respect
Just as he was about to speak, Shannon smiled and looked at the woman sarcastically as she replied, “This lady is really amusing, but these words might be better suited for the police
“Would you like me to introduce y
you to some police officers?”
The woman’s face immediately changed, and she pressed her lips together, not daring to speak further.
In’t be b
Shannon couldn’t be bothered to look at her again and walked away.
After taking just one step, another wealthy lady nearby said, “Miss Moore, your dress is very beautiful. Is it from a renowned designer, or is it the latest design! Did you ask someone to pull some strings to borrow. ir”
She glanced at Lea and the others in the back and commented, “Did you have that Dr. Berry‘ help you out!”
In their circle, the only one with such capability was Dr. Berry.
To make a grand impression, the Moore family must have pulled out all the stops but borrowed things were never theirs and would only make them look even more pathetic.
This was clearly an attempt to embarrass her and disgrace the Moore family publicly.
“No.” Shannon said calmly.
