The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 347

Chapter 347 

Three days went by in the blink of an eye. 

Ada Wang finally arrived in Savrow as scheduled, attracting attention both domestically and internationally. 

On the evening of the banquet, Bethany had picked out a splendid purple haute couture gown for herself. She had meticulously curled her hair and done herself up from head to toe. She radiated the same elegance as always. 

Naturally, Shannon also attended in her finest attire. She styled her hair in an elaborate updo, revealing a pair of generously sized emerald earrings and an almost 2-inch-diameter imperial green jade pendant. It was as if she was wearing the value of a mansion around her neck. 

“Mom, I remember you have a better piece of jade than this one, right? Why don’t you wear that one?” Bethany asked curiously. 

“Don’t mention it. Just thinking about it gives me heartache!” 

Shannon gritted her teeth and held onto her pendant tightly. “It’s all because of that bitch, Rosalind! I don’t know what the Gold family has been doing to have millions of dollars in debt!” 

“I didn’t have any cash on hand, and the authorities were watching me like a hawk. The boutique has also been without customers for two months now, so I had to reluctantly part with that piece of jade and sell it to help pay off some of the Gold family’s debt!” 

“My goodness! You’re generous. If I were you, I’d be in tears. That was a birthday gift from Dad!” 

Bethany felt the pain for her mother. She asked in confusion, “But I really don’t understand, Mom. Why are you helping the Gold family? It would be better to let those rotten relatives fend for themselves!” 

“Hmph! I wish I could…” 

Shannon muttered with a sinister tone. However, when she was grooming Rosalind to cozy up to Justin, Shannon was overambitious and put all her eggs in one basket. It never occurred to her that her own actions would backfire, leaving her with nothing but failure. 

Now, not only did she fail to achieve her goal of controlling Justin, but the pawn she groomed ended up threatening her. 

Recently, Rosalind had tasted the sweetness of extorting her aunt for money. Just the day before yesterday, Rosalind called Shannon from Meridan to ask for more money. Shannon was so furious that she almost considered hiring a hitman to take Rosalind out. 

However, killing Rosalind was definitely a last resort. She would not consider it unless it was absolutely necessary. Thus, she promised Rosalind that she would soon find an opportunity to work with Rosalind again and let her return to Savrow. That was how she managed to keep that despicable girl in check. 

“Mom, how do I look in this outfit?” 

Bethany happily twirled in place, wearing the purple evening gown she chose after seeing how 

handsome Ryan looked in a purple shirt. It was as if, by wearing this, she and Ryan would be in matching outfits. “Tonight, I must be stunning, and I absolutely can’t let down our family’s reputation!” 

“The undisputed star tonight is Ada Wang, a renowned international celebrity. Your chances. of impressing anyone are minimal. You should focus more on Ryan. Your attention should be on him rather than competing with those girls. Even if you look more beautiful than them, what’s the point if Ryan doesn’t take another look at you? The doors of the Hoffman family won’t open for you!” 

To Shannon, Rosalind was done for, and Carrie had always been a disappointment. Shannon was glad that Bethany did not disgrace their family. She pinned all her hopes on Bethany and used all means to ensure Bethany would marry into a prominent family. A daughter who married well would only make her journey to seize control of Salvador Corporation smoother. “Mom, you can rest assured. This time, I will definitely become Ryan’s wife!” Bethany puffed out her chest, full of confidence.
