Falling for My Contractual Wife (Grace and Brian) novel Chapter 565

Shannon nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you. It's my blessing to have met you."

Nova smiled gently. "Shannon, take your time to unpack and wash up before coming downstairs. Jasmine is very easy to talk to. You can have a chat with her."

Shannon nodded. "Alright, thank you."

Nova turned around and went downstairs. She felt a little guilty towards Shannon. Nova had always felt regretful about Ava's death. Ava didn't know anything but still lost her life because of that letter.

After all, Nova was Marshall's real daughter, and Ava was related to her by blood. It was hard for Nova to accept that Ava had lost her life simply because of this.

After dinner, Brian returned to the company while Nova stayed at home to deal with her own company's matters.

Shannon cut some fruits and brought them over. She commented with concern, "Miss Nova, you've been busy the entire day. Come, take a break."

Nova loosened up her tense shoulders and teased, "I have Mr. Adkins to thank for being so busy."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Shannon asked.

"Mr. Adkins has been suppressing my company's business to avenge his precious daughter, Louise," Nova said calmly as she ate a piece of fruit.

When Shannon heard this, she felt guilty and uneasy. "This...How could he do this? Don't worry, when I go back, I'll definitely make him stop targeting you! After he finds out the truth, he'll chase Louise out. When that happens, he won't target you anymore."

Nova smiled. "It's alright. Just let him come. That way, the game will be more interesting, won't it?"

Shannon didn't know what to say. She felt that she had let this girl down.

*****

Late at night.

Louise waited for a day, but Shannon did not return home. The people she had sent out also said that they could not find Shannon.

Where the hell did this old woman go?

She paced the living room, unable to sit still.

Louise looked at the phone that hung up and bit her lip hard. This damn Shannon! What the hell was she doing?

Louise knew that she was in a dangerous situation, one in which Shannon had the upper hand. There was a risk of Louise's identity being exposed at any moment!

At that moment, Louise's phone suddenly rang.

It was a string of numbers. There was no caller ID, but she knew the number by heart.

Louise's hand trembled. After hesitating for a moment, she ended the call.

After a while, a text message came in. It read, [You must be having a good life. You're not even answering the phone now? We're standing outside the entrance of your house right now. Would you like us to go in? I'm sure it would be a great surprise.]

Louise's eyes widened when she saw the message. She hurriedly called the other party back.

"What do you want?"

"Hurry up and come out. Mom and I are waiting outside. We've missed you, Rosella Lynn."
