“Channing? You… you’re at home?” The sudden appearance of Channing startled Shannon. “Shouldn’t Channing be at work during this time? Why was he at home?” Shannon thought.

Celia was also dumbfounded when she saw Channing. “Dad, why have you gotten back?”

“You just said that you were cheated for a few hundred thousand dollars. By who?” Channing came over and stared at Shannon. He went to visit Amber again today. Only then did he know that she was almost raped. Channing was so angry that his heart ached. To think about it, Amber was really lucky. If Rodney had not noticed that something was not right, who knows what would have happened.

Amber was a person who held dearly to her dignity. If she was really raped, she certainly would not want to live anymore. Channing was distressed and angry. He thought that all this happened because of himself. If he had not married Shannon, Amber would not have run away from home, nor would she have been kicked out of the Barron family. Channing was extremely remorseful.

He did not have the mood to stay in the office, so he made up an excuse that he was not feeling well and needed to go home to rest. When he got home, there was no one around. Since Channing was feeling down, he just sat in the study room, still blaming himself. Then, he heard the sound of the car engine outside, so he walked out of the study room. But he didn’t expect to hear Shannon and Celia’s conversation.

Although Shannon was shocked, she was able to react quickly enough. “Channing, I’m so sorry!”

“What are you sorry for?” Channing’s voice was cold. It was never his intention to be with Shannon. Shannon and Ashley were friends, and he also treated Shannon as a friend. Never in his wildest dream had he thought that he would be drunk and have sex with Shannon.

After that, Shannon did not hold him responsible for it, and he also forgot about it. He didn’t expect that Shannon would reappear in his life again after more than ten years, and even bring a child with her. Ashley was sure that he had an affair and never forgave him till her death.

Channing didn’t want anything to do with Shannon at all. His original intention was to put Shannon and her daughter in another place, but someone leaked the news and the issue was made known to his superiors. Fortunately, the person who knew it was his old boss, and he took care of the matter out of his care for Channing. Channing was forced to marry Shannon, but he lost his beloved daughter because of this.

Having lived with Shannon for more than ten years, she had been gentle, kind, and understanding. Although she came from a poor family, she was not only good with house chores, but also good with socialising, prioritising him the whole time. Most importantly, Shannon often reminds him of Ashley.

For this reason, he gradually had some feelings for Shannon, but he didn’t expect to see her vulgar side by chance.

Channing was unfamiliar with this version of Shannon, he also hated it. Shannon naturally felt his disgust, so she immediately explained, “Isn’t it your birthday soon? You like antiques, so I wanted to buy you a vase. But who knew that the dishonest go-between turned out to have taken the money and run away.”

“What did you say?” Channing raised his voice.

“I’m so sorry, Channing! I didn’t mean it.” Shannon lowered her head and looked pitiful.

“Dad, Mum didn’t mean it. She just wanted to give you a surprise.” Celia came just in time to smooth things over.

Channing stared at Shannon for quite a while, then slumped against the sofa. “Nothing has been smooth recently!”

“What happened?” Shannon quickly asked, considerately.

“Amber almost got into trouble. Luckily, Rodney found out that something wasn’t right. Otherwise, it would be terrible,” Channing sighed and told them about the fact that Amber had almost been hurt.

Shannon’s heart was filled with hatred. She had never expected that the person who had interfered with this would be Rodney. Although she was fuming in her heart, she still pretended to be surprised and distressed. “How is Amber?”
