Chapter 184
Shannon felt uncomfortable, so she only chose Kash, who had a good relationship with her, to say hello to her. Kash reluctantly said a few words to her and then took the excuse to leave.
Every time Kash saw her, she couldn’t finish her words. What happened this time? Shannon realized that something was wrong. She realized that something was wrong. Channing also realized it. On the way back, he asked her, “Mrs. Zhang, didn’t you have a good relationship with you? Why did you suddenly ignore you?”
Shannon didn’t know. “I don’t know either. It’s probably because of climacteric.”
Channing said with a snort, “What are you talking about? You must have offended her. Didn’t I tell you to pay as much attention as possible when you deal with them? Kash is about to be promoted. We can’t offend such a person.”
Shannon felt very uncomfortable after being scolded by Channing, but she didn’t dare to refute. She was full of anger and went home, but she couldn’t find an answer after thinking about it.
The more Rachel thought about it, the more unhappy she felt at home these days. She had been living in lies and deceptions these years. To be honest, she didn’t have so much affection for Celia at first. It was her good friend Itzel who praised Celia in her ear again and again, saying that she was beautiful and gentle and kind. She had said so many words, so she began to like Celia.
However, although she felt that Celia was pleasing to the eye, she did not intend to let her and her son be together until her son and Amber were together.
The daughter-in-law in Rachel’s heart was not only beautiful, but also had to have an identity. Amber’s family background was not good, so her intuition told her that she didn’t like him. However, her son didn’t listen to her and treated Amber as a treasure.
She was unhappy to talk about these things with Itzel, so Itzel naturally vented her anger on her. She said that Amber was not qualified to carry Celia’s shoes. It was better to marry the daughter of the secretary than to marry such a woman with no background or identity. It would be helpful to Rodney’s career and so on.
Rachel thought about it and found it reasonable. She could see Celia’s feelings for her son because she wanted Amber to give up and let her choose to be close to Celia.
This intimacy found that Celia was really good. She knew her preferences very well, and her words were also very pleasing to her. If she had such a considerate daughter-in-law to accompany her, she would definitely live a good life.
After Rodney and Amber got married, she still felt uncomfortable in her heart. She still couldn’t like Amber. No matter how good she treated him, she couldn’t like him. And Celia clearly knew that Rodney was married, but she came to see her every now and then. She said that she wanted to accompany her and make her happy.
She used to believe it firmly, but now, after knowing so much bad news about Celia, she suddenly felt that she had been cheated. Celia had been acting at her all these years.
She must have wanted something to do with her acting. Thinking that Shannon shamelessly seduced her best friend and took the opportunity to get the position, Rachel began to suspect that Celia was planning something like her mistress from the beginning.
This idea made Rachel particularly uncomfortable. Since Celia was so shameless that she insisted on having a baby with Rodney, Rachel became more and more suspicious. “Was I set up by someone from the beginning?”
Being framed was not a good thing. It made Rachel very uncomfortable, so she called Itzel to discuss it. When they met, she asked, “Itzel, have you heard any gossip about Celia recently?”
This question was strange. Itzel felt that something was wrong, but she couldn’t figure out what Rachel was going to say, so she asked with a smile, “Why did you suddenly ask this? What happened?”
“Recently, I heard something bad about her. I came to ask you.” Rachel told Itzel about what Mrs. Moore had told her about Celia. “I feel uncomfortable. It’s not convenient for me to go out during this period of time. I don’t know what’s going on outside, so I asked you to ask.”
“I haven’t heard of it.” Itzel was surprised. She tried to persuade her. “Isn’t that Mrs. Moore and Shannon against each other? Maybe she hates Shannon, so she deliberately slandered Celia. I don’t think her words can be trusted.”
“Mrs. Moore and Shannon have been enemies for a long time. Why didn’t she say it earlier because of resentment and deliberately slandered Celia? Why did she have to wait until now?” Rachel naturally did not know what role this woman in front of her, who she regarded as a good friend, played. She also thought that she was deceived by Celia like herself, so she showed the video she received to Itzel. “Before Mrs. Moore told me these, I also received this. Look at this.”
Itzel was surprised when she saw the video. “Who is it that wants to make trouble for Celia?” Itzel didn’t show her surprise on her face, but tried to persuade Rachel to get rid of her doubts.
“Wasn’t Celia in a bad mood because of Amber? The doctor said that she seemed to have been stimulated. Shannon also said that Celia has been different recently. She seemed a little crazy and often lost her temper. When she returned to normal and asked her, her answer seemed to be an illusion. It was estimated that this situation happened only when she was out of control.”
“An illusion? Crazy? Isn’t this the rhythm of mental illness?” Rachel was anxious. “Will Celia be mentally ill? If so, the child she gave birth to must be abnormal, right?”
“She’s not insane.” Itzel comforted her. “She only reacted when she was stimulated. Think about it. She was spoiled since she was a child. Her parents treated her like a treasure. How could she accept it
when she was beaten by Amber like this? She’ll be fine in a while.”
Speaking of Celia, Rachel thought of Amber. If it weren’t for Shannon’s shameless intervention, Amber would have been Channing’s treasure. If Amber were Channing’s daughter, she wouldn’t have objected to their relationship and things wouldn’t have happened in the future.
Thinking of this, she snorted. “What treasure? I’m angry when it comes to this. I used to know that Shannon was a mistress, but I didn’t know that she was more disgusting than those mistresses.”
“Where do these words come from?” Itzel had a bad feeling. What exactly did Mrs. Moore say to Rachel?
“Let me tell you, that Shannon is not just a mistress. She is ten thousand times more disgusting than an ordinary mistress. She dared to steal her best friend’s man. If I had known that Shannon was such a disgusting person, I wouldn’t have let Celia have anything to do with Rodney.” Rachel was furious. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
“You can’t beat him to death. This criminal has to be changed. What’s more, Celia is Celia, and Shannon is Shannon. We can’t mix them together.” Itzel was really upset, but she had to persuade her with a smile.
“It’s not like that. I didn’t have any impression of Celia before. I heard you say that she’s a good person, so I also think she’s not bad. Now that I think about it carefully, the more I think about it, the more strange I feel. She knew that Rodney was married and still came to me every day to please him. Do you think she wants to be a mistress like her shameless mother?”
“No! You think too much.”
“I also hope that I’ve thought too much, but now I have to think so.” Rachel had been holding it in for a long time, and she regarded Itzel as her confidant. Naturally, she was not unhappy. “At that time, she
clearly knew that Amber was her sister, but she pretended not to know her at all in my house. She even deliberately found an opportunity to get close to Rodney. This must not be simple.”
“She didn’t do it for Amber, okay?” Itzel persuaded. “You really think too much. Think about it. With Channing’s status, there’s no need for Celia to be his mistress. Many rich families are looking forward to marrying her.”
“What you said makes sense, but I still feel that it’s not normal. Today, I asked you not only to tell you these things, but also to let you keep an eye on them for me to see if these rumors are true or not.”
After leaving the Barron family, Itzel called Shannon immediately and told her everything Rachel said. Shannon was very surprised. “Weren’t these things done very secretly? How could it be spread out?”
“I don’t know. Think about it carefully. What’s wrong with her? You have to find a way to remedy it as soon as possible. Rachel has begun to suspect it now. But her legs are not convenient now, so it’s not good for her to confirm it in person. If she does it in person, it will be terrible.”
“I know.” After hanging up the phone, Shannon’s face suddenly darkened. Celia, who was standing aside, saw that her mother looked pale and asked, “Mom, what happened?”
“Rachel heard something about us from Mrs. Moore. She asked Itzel to verify it,” Shannon said briefly.
Celia didn’t know that she had become the object of everyone’s disdain. She was pregnant now, so she didn’t have the energy to attend those parties. Every day, she just stayed at home and dreamed of having a mother and a son.
Hearing her mother’s words, he was dumbfounded. “What should I do? If even Rachel hates me, how can I win?”
“Don’t you have a child?” Shannon comforted her. “Now we have to find out who hurt us behind our backs.”
Shannon frowned. “There weren’t many people who knew that we schemed against Amber, and there weren’t many who knew about you. Itzel wouldn’t tell anyone about it. Only Zoe was there. Could it be her?”
Hearing her mother’s words, Celia also remembered that Zoe came to beg for her refusal. “Mom, it must be that b*tch Zoe who did it. She came to me last time, but I ignored her. She must have a grudge against me on purpose.”
“Why didn’t you tell me about this?” Shannon couldn’t help complaining to Celia. “If you told me, it wouldn’t be like this.”
“Didn’t I say that I was afraid that her appearance would cause Rodney to be unhappy? Back then, Zoe and I had cut off all ties because of the matter of framing Amber. Now that we’ve messed up with Rodney, she must be up to something. That’s why she came looking for me. I rejected her outright.”
“You are still too young. If you don’t raise a dog well, you will become a wolf. Even if you don’t want to have anything to do with her, you have to stabilize her.” Shannon complained.
“Mom, now is not the time to complain about me. Let this b*tch disappear as soon as possible, or she will hurt me endlessly.”
“I know. Let me think about how to get rid of this bitch.”
