Chapter 173

Shannon’s face turned ashen, and her hair hung over her shoulders messily as she knelt on the ground. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. If this had been in the past, Liam would have believed her

But this time, he looked at her coldly and questioned, “Not you?

He threw his head back and laughed. His laugh was broken and sarcastic. “Then, tell me. Is the person in the video not you but someone who looks exactly like you?

“Shannon bit her lip, unable to speak for a long time.

It was indeed her in the video, and this incident had really taken place. She never expected someone to have recorded a video of it, let alone for it to end up in Lily’s hands. With so many eyes on her right now, she didn’t know how to explain herself.

The sound of a loud slap then echoed in the hall.

Julia had stepped forward and slapped Shannon across the face. “How could you do this? He’s your brother! He has loved and pampered you the most since you were children. He gave you the best of everything. Yet, you killed him! Why? Why!”

At that moment, Julia was very emotional. Jason was the one she loved the most in the Martinez family. When news of Jason’s death came, she fainted on the spot and lay in bed for half a month before recovering.

She hadn’t been able to accept Jason’s death, especially since she hadn’t even seen him for the last time. Now, she found out that Jason’s death hadn’t been an accident. It was her own granddaughter who had him killed!

She took several deep breaths. Painting at Shannon, she spoke in a trembling voice, “You always pretend to be gentle, sensible, and generous. I thought you were a good child, bot Inever expected you to be so vicious.

“Well done. I’ve lived my whole life only to be fooled by you. You’re really something, Shannon

Shannon’s head hung low as she listened to Julia’s harsh berating wordlessly. Suddenly, she stopped crying. A cold glint flashed in her eyes as she clenched her fists.

After a moment, she raised her head and got up slowly. Her delicate face was contorted and sinister.

She admitted, “Yes, thired someone to kill Jason. So what? Are you going to report me to the police? Do you have any evidence?”

Shannon pointed at the screen and said, “Based on this video alone, you can’t convict me. Jason was hit by a car. It wasn’t me who ordered it. The person I hired hadn’t even acted yet, and he was already hit by a car.”

Susan stared at Shannon incredulously. “Shannon, did you really do that? Why? Why would you do such a thing?”

From the beginning, Susan was suspended in utter disbelief. She was unable to believe that Shannon would do something like this,
