Chapter 789: Chapter 789

Ryan smiled wickedly, a mischievous glint flickering in his fiery eyes. Grandpa, to be honest, when I

first laid eyes on Ms. Thompson, I was deeply attracted to her, and I immediately began to pursue her

passionately.”

“What? You went after Bella?” Zoe was in disbelief, gritting her teeth.

with hatred.

Logan looked shocked and asked, “What? You pursued Ms.

Thompson? Why aren’t you two together? I heard you’re quite skilled

at wooing women.”

Claire remained silent.

Ryan scratched his head, embarrassed. “Well… She wasn’t interested

in me.”

“She didn’t even like you? Is she trying to marry the King himself?”

Logan was quite annoyed. But then again, considering Bella’s ex- husband was Justin, Ryan’s rejection

didn’t seem so humiliating after

all.

“That thug, Harry Young, used to work at TS Gem Channel thirty years ago. Not only did he collaborate

with you in several dramas, but he also served as your assistant for quite a long time. Your relationship

with him is far from ordinary. Celeste and many well-known directors from the TS Channel are familiar

with Harry too. Yet you claim not to know him. Are you sure you don’t have early-stage dementia?”

Bella’s

gaze turned cold as she shook her head at Shannon.

She couldn’t help but wonder how Shannon had managed to climb her way from the lowest position to

her current position as the chairman’s wife with such a low level of intelligence. It could only be said

that Gregory was even blinder than his son.

Shannon remained stubborn in her denial. “I don’t know anyone called Harry! Just because they know

me, does that mean I have to know

them?”

“Madam Shannon, you seem to be very forgetful. Let me help you remember a few things.” Bella

descended the stairs gracefully and confidently approached the Salvador couple.

Like magic, Shannon’s eyes caught a flicker of silver. Bella held out a platinum pendant shaped like a

lily, dangling it enticingly before

Shannon.

At the sight of the necklace, Shannon’s heart raced, her lips trembling ‘Why… Why is it in Bella’s

hands?’

Gregory furrowed his brow, sensing Shannon trembling intensely in his arms. Despite her efforts to

control herself, it was still very

obvious.

Shannon’s gaze darted around nervously. “What’s this nonsense? Why are you showing me that?”

“Shannon, that’s your necklace,” Gregory said, his tone heavy with concern. “I remember you used to

wear it all the time when we first met. You told me it was the only family heirloom your mother left

behind, and you cherished it dearly. But one day, I noticed you stopped wearing it, and when I asked,

you said you accidentally lost it while filming. You were upset about it for a long time. I remember

this lily-shaped pendant.

A deafening buzz filled Shannon’s ears as the truth dawned on her. She remembered now. She had

indeed told Gregory this. To put it accurately, she had lied.

Shannon’s entire identity was built on a foundation of deception. In her relentless pursuit of wealth and

to win Gregory’s heart, she had told him countless lies and fabricated stories.

With time, the lies had piled up, and now she could no longer

remember all of them.

“So this necklace was your mother’s heirloom, Madam Shannon. Oh my, that must be very important to

you,” Bella remarked, her eyes glittering with cold light as she observed the swaying pendant.

Bella continued, “How could such an important possession end up in the hands of that thug? It was

placed in an exquisite jewelry box, so it seemed this necklace held significant value for Mr. Young as

well.”
