CHAPTER 87: CHAPTER 87: YOUR BROTHER IS IN TROUBLE

Hearing that Jett might go to prison, Shannon’s emotions were a bit complicated, but the news gave her some peace.

She knows well how Jett holds grudges. If this incident just passes like this, there’s no telling there won’t be a next time. Him going to prison at least ensures her safety during this period, and maybe he’ll change after some time for reform inside.

After inquiring about the situation, Shannon returned to her room, still worried whether the Quinn elders would step in and solve the issue again.

The Quinn Family.

Zeke’s car returned from the police station. Before it could stop, Sharon rushed over. Seeing there were only the driver and Zeke in the car, her tone turned a bit frantic as she asked Zeke, "Honey, where’s our son? Why didn’t he come back with you?"

Zeke seemed a bit annoyed, walking into the house without a word.

"Honey, what’s going on?"

Zeke picked up the teacup handed by the servant, took a sip, glared at Sharon, and angrily said, "I told you long ago not to spoil him in everything, letting him act recklessly!"

"What’s really going on? He usually just makes small trouble outside, what big trouble could it be?"

"Small trouble? Small trouble that got Landon Sutton involved!"

"Landon Sutton?!"

"This time, things might not be so easy to handle."

Sharon frowned, full of worry. After thinking for a while, she said, "Landon is influential, but aren’t we family with the Rhodes now? He’ll have to give us some face, right?"

"Face? Who doesn’t know how close Landon is with the Eldest Young Master Rhodes? This time, Simon is really furious. Do you think the Rhodes will help us? The police already said this matter is handled personally by Simon, not even a king can help!"

Hearing this, Sharon became even more anxious: "What should we do? Our Jett is naturally mischievous, but we can’t let this small matter ruin his life. Honey, think of a way!"

Zeke, however, said: "I actually think it’s good he spends some time locked up, let him learn some restraint, lest he causes bigger problems in the future."

"Is that what a father should say? Being in prison is a lifelong stain, he’s your own son! Are you just going to let your son ruin his life like this?"

"Then what do you suggest? We rely on this Rhodes connection to get things done, now we’ve angered the Rhodes, why should they help you?"

"We’re all family. There must be some misunderstanding. We should go talk to them, perhaps there’s still hope." Sharon suggested, then suddenly a thought struck her, "How could we forget that dead girl? I’ve noticed Simon really cares about her, maybe if she spoke for us, it could work."

Zeke seemed surprised he hadn’t thought of this, fell silent for a moment, then nodded: "You go find her in the afternoon."

When Shannon received Sharon’s call, she wasn’t too surprised.

Earlier in the morning, when Ronan talked to her about the issues, she suspected Sharon might come looking for her, and indeed she did.

Meeting her at the café, Shannon didn’t refuse, tidied up her things, and headed out for the appointment.

Of course, she already knew how to respond to this matter.

Regarding the Quinn Family, although they were responsible for raising her, she didn’t feel the least bit grateful.

During her time in the Quinn Family, she even thought that perhaps if they hadn’t adopted her back then, starving might have been more freeing than living in the Quinn Family.

Setting aside the childhood trauma caused by Jett, Zeke and Sharon showed her no semblance of parental love.

From the day she entered the Quinn Family, she was blended into the mix with the servants, learning to manage household chores to serve their family.

Strict requirements, baseless scolding, even being a punching bag...

Saying they didn’t treat her like a person is no exaggeration. Looking back, it gives Shannon goosebumps.

Sharon was clearly anxious to see her; by the time Shannon arrived, Sharon was already seated.

Shannon walked over without acknowledging her, directly sitting across from her, wearing a professional smile as she asked Sharon, "What do you need from me?"

Sharon didn’t beat around the bush, directly stating, "Your brother has gotten into trouble."

"My brother?" Shannon mocked with a laugh, "You mean... your precious son?"

"Stop that sarcastic tone with me. Do you really think marrying into the Rhodes makes you the Young Madam? If not for our hard efforts raising you, you wouldn’t even know where you’d end up dead!"

"I seem to remember when you forced me into marriage, I settled my debts with the Quinn Family, didn’t I? Mrs. Quinn also couldn’t wait to sever ties with me?"

Sharon showed no sign of pleading, instead rebuked Shannon, saying, "We always knew you were a traitor! I’m not wasting words with you. Our Jett got into some trouble, you go talk to Simon, have him get our Jett out!"

Shannon had anticipated this and calmly responded with a smile, "Me, an unwanted woman kicked out of the family and married into wealth with no favor, Mrs. Quinn asking me such a task, really overestimates me."

"Don’t play games with me, you’re going to do this!"

Shannon responded without hesitation: "Why should I?"

"Why should you? This is what you owe the Quinn Family!"

Shannon laughed a little, "I brought you benefits by marrying into the Rhodes, isn’t that enough? What more do I owe you?"

"You must help with this, whether you want to or not!"

"Alright, I can convey the message, but whether it has any effect will depend on Eldest Young Master’s mood, or... you can directly approach him."

Sharon glared at Shannon, harshly saying: "Just remember, if Jett can’t get out, you won’t have it easy either!"

Shannon smiled faintly, stood up, and looked down at Sharon saying, "Truly, like mother like son, Jett owes it all to you! How do you plan to deal with me? Hmm? Your son in prison, planning to join him as a mother in there too? Just worried your old bones can’t handle prison food."

Having said that, Shannon ignored Sharon’s colorful expression, turned around, and elegantly left.

She didn’t want to meddle in the Quinn Family affairs, even if she could help, she wouldn’t. She harbored hate for the Quinn Family.

Just as she exited the café, she received a call from Simon: "Did the Quinn’s come to find you?"

Shannon didn’t hide it: "Yes."

"Don’t bother with this matter, let her come to me directly."

"Okay... Thank you, big brother."

Suddenly it felt good to have someone backing you.

While thanking Simon, Shannon didn’t forget Landon, recalling the events of last night, Shannon thought it might have been a trap set deliberately by Landon.
