Chapter 125: Continuous Face-Slapping

Chapter 125: Chapter 125: Continuous Face-Slapping

Netizens were simply stunned by Shannon Everett’s shamelessness: ["??? Are you still fucking trying to argue? Keith Sterling already threw the evidence right in your face! You’ve been utterly humiliated!"]

When Shannon Everett saw this comment, her brow furrowed. ’Keith Sterling?’

Shannon Everett immediately went to watch the video Keith Sterling had posted.

With every second the video played, the color drained from Shannon Everett’s face. By the end, her face was ashen, and her fingers were trembling.

’How could this be...’

’How did Keith Sterling manage to film that!’

At that moment, more and more netizens were seeing the video online, and they were completely dumbfounded.

["Holy shit, this video is so clear. Shannon Everett totally knocked over that water bottle on purpose!"]

["Fuck, that idiot Shannon Everett was just swearing up and down that she didn’t do it. I’ve seen shameless people before, but never someone *this* shameless!"]

["Just my two cents, but Sienna Everett is representing Celestria’s designers against a foreign designer. For Shannon Everett to do this, she’d rather someone from her own country lose, rather be looked down on by foreigners, than let Sienna Everett win. What kind of person is she?!"]

["@ShannonEverett, you scumbag! Traitor! How can you be so selfish!"]

["@ShannonEverett, a few days ago I saw you design so many nice clothes and thought you were talented. My impression of you improved a bit. Now I see... heh, there’s not a single good person in your Everett Family!"]

In the past few days, Shannon Everett’s image had slowly begun to improve due to her design talent.

But today, she was knocked right back to square one, inciting even greater fury from netizens.

Shannon Everett stared at the accusations and curses from the netizens, her fingers gripping her phone so tightly that her face twisted in anger. Her eyes were filled with a savage viciousness.

’I didn’t do anything wrong! I just didn’t want to be outdone by Sienna Everett. What’s wrong with that!’

’Even if I was in the wrong, it’s that bitch Sienna Everett’s fault!’

Shannon Everett bit her lower lip so hard that it turned deathly pale. Her pretty face looked somewhat horrifying.

"Shannon, what are you doing standing here with your phone?" Mason Everett asked as he walked over.

Shannon Everett quickly snapped out of it, forcing an unnatural smile. She then put on a pitiful, wronged expression. "Brother, the netizens are cursing me out again because of my sister..."

The incident with the water bottle had blown up online. There was no way to hide it, so she might as well tell Mason Everett herself.

Hearing this, Mason Everett’s face instantly darkened. ’How dare those people curse the precious daughter of the Everett Family!’

Mason Everett took out his phone to look online, and his pupils contracted in shock. ’Shannon actually knocked over the water bottle on purpose...’

’Even with her design draft maliciously ruined, Sienna Everett still managed to beat Eric...’

’Just how high is Sienna Everett’s skill level...’

Mason Everett looked up in a daze and saw the backs of Sienna Everett, Keith Sterling, and Evan Shelby as they walked out of the venue together.

Mason Everett couldn’t help but think, ’If we made Sienna Everett the chief designer for the Everett Group’s fashion brand, she would definitely be better than Shannon. She could revive the Everett Family’s business much faster...’

Shannon Everett bit her lower lip, watching Mason Everett’s expression with tears glistening in her eyes.

’I wonder what Brother thinks about this. Will he blame me for knocking over the water bottle on purpose?’

Shannon Everett had imagined several possibilities, but she never expected Mason Everett to ignore her and instead run after Sienna Everett ahead.

"Brother?"

Shannon Everett’s heart tightened, and she quickly followed him.

Sienna was listening to Keith Sterling talk about the situation online as she walked out. Just as she reached the venue’s exit, someone suddenly blocked her path. She looked up and saw it was Mason Everett.

Keith Sterling and Evan Shelby’s expressions immediately turned grim, both taking a protective stance in front of Sienna.

But Mason Everett was in no mood to pay them any mind. He looked at Sienna Everett with a serious expression, his voice strained. "During those two years you were back with the Everett Family, you said you wanted to help design clothes for the family’s fashion brand. You were actually serious..."

At the time, he had thought she was just trying to cause trouble and get the Everetts’ attention, and he had berated her with a torrent of harsh, cold words.

’So, she really can design clothes, and her skill is so incredible.’

Sienna Everett’s gaze was frosty, her tone devoid of any emotion. "Mason Everett, what’s the point of you asking this question now?"

"You’re right, there’s no point..." Mason Everett clenched the fist hanging at his side. His hair was slightly disheveled from running over to find Sienna.

"Brother, you..." Shannon Everett caught up at that moment.

Mason Everett ignored her, still staring straight at Sienna. He took a deep breath and said:

"Sienna Everett, since you were once sincere about wanting to help the Everett Family’s fashion brand, then right now, in my capacity as the President of the Everett Group and as your older brother, I invite you to become the designer for the Everett Group’s fashion brand."

"Furthermore, I’ll allow you to return to the Everett Family. From now on, no one in the family will ever hit or curse you again. And as for Shannon, I’ll make her apologize to you for deliberately knocking over the water bottle."

When Shannon Everett heard this, her heart leaped into her throat.

’Brother is actually... making me apologize to Sienna Everett?’

’And he’s taking the initiative to ask Sienna Everett to come home?’

Hearing Mason Everett’s self-important and supposedly magnanimous words, Keith Sterling and Evan Shelby sneered inwardly, rolling their eyes so hard they could have seen the back of their skulls.

’What does he mean, he wants Sienna Everett to come home? It’s obviously for the benefit of the Everett Family. He just wants Sienna Everett to slave away for them!’

’Mason Everett really is... a businessman through and through.’

If even Keith Sterling and Evan Shelby could see it, Sienna, who knew Mason Everett so well, naturally understood it even more clearly.

After listening to Mason Everett, Sienna couldn’t help but let out a small laugh. The corners of her cherry-red lips curled up, but her delicate features were tinged with sarcasm:

"Mason Everett, if you’re sick in the head, go to a hospital. Don’t throw your fit here."

"Sienna Everett!" Mason Everett’s face instantly tightened, his eyes glaring at her with a chilling coldness.

Sienna raised a hand, her slender, pale fingers tapping her temple in mock regret. "Look at my memory. My apologies, I mistook you for a human being again."

Mason Everett’s face turned ashen. The next second, he heard Sienna say:

"The Everett Family home is a place a hundred times more foul than a cesspool. You may enjoy staying in it, but I certainly don’t."

"Mason Everett, I’ll say this one last time. I have completely and utterly severed all ties with the Everett Family. I will never go back in this lifetime. As for you, don’t you ever call yourself my brother again. It’s just disgusting to hear!"

Every word, enunciated with bone-chilling coldness, fell into his ears. Mason Everett’s fists clenched abruptly.

It wasn’t until Sienna had left that Mason Everett stiffly turned around. He stared coldly at her retreating back, the chill in his eyes sharp enough to form icicles.

’Sienna used to respect him, her older brother, the most.’

’And now... she said such decisive and insulting words to him...’

’He gave Sienna a chance to return to the Everett Family. She was the one who didn’t want it!’

’It’s not like the Everett Family’s fashion brand has to rely on Sienna to be saved. There’s still Kian...’

Mason Everett thought of Kian, and some of the fury in his heart dissipated. He would be able to see Kian at tomorrow’s banquet.

A moment ago on stage, when Evan Shelby announced that Kian would attend tomorrow’s banquet, he had smiled and glanced his way. Did this mean that Kian’s public appearance tomorrow was specifically for the Everett Family?

The mere thought of this possibility sent waves of ecstasy through Mason Everett.

’Tomorrow, he would definitely be able to poach Kian!’
