Shannon Quinn finally broke free from the ropes binding her hands, quickly pushing away the man attached to her, and hurriedly tore off the tape on her mouth.
With the light from outside the window, she had just seen the man’s identity clearly.
She just didn’t expect that Sylvie Pierce, in her scheming, wouldn’t even spare her own brother.
"Mr. Pierce, wake up! It’s ! I’m Shannon!"
Shawn Pierce murmured, "Shannon?"
"Calm down, Mr. Pierce!" Shannon Quinn turned around, reaching for the bedside lamp switch, and turned on the light in the room.
Seeing the woman in front of him clearly, Shawn Pierce shook his head, seeming to be struggling between reason and desire.
As Shannon Quinn reached out to untie the rope on her feet, she said, "Mr. Pierce, hold on, I’ll go call soone right away."
Shawn Pierce also seed to realize it wasn’t that he was feeling unwell but had been drugged, struggling to control himself, and said hoarsely to Shannon Quinn, "Shannon, you’d better go."
The knot on her feet was dead tight, not as easy to escape as her hands, and the more anxious Shannon beca, the harder it was to untie it.
Seeing Shawn Pierce’s body leaning in again, she hurriedly said, "Mr. Pierce, hold on a bit longer!"
But Shawn Pierce seed not to hear, reaching out to embrace Shannon Quinn.
In her anxiety, Shannon Quinn quickly said, "Shawn Pierce, look carefully at who I am! I’m Vincent Rhodes’ woman! Would you dare touch your own brother’s woman?!"
This provocation seed to have an effect, and he imdiately distanced himself, mumbling, "I can’t do this."
To wake himself up a bit, he turned around and picked up the fruit knife from the bedside platter, without any hesitation, and viciously slashed at his own arm.
Shannon Quinn watched as blood quickly flowed from his arm, completely stunned, "Mr. Pierce..."
The pain quickly sobered Shawn Pierce. Disregarding his injury, he went over with the knife to help Shannon Quinn cut through her ankle ropes.
"Mr. Pierce, wait, I’ll go call a doctor!" Shannon Quinn had just finished speaking and hadn’t even stepped off the bed when soone pushed the door open from outside.
The person who rushed in was Landon Sutton.
Because he didn’t know which room was Shawn Pierce’s, he had searched one by one, so the two old n who followed him also arrived at this ti.
Sylvie Pierce stood at the back, thinking that once Shane Royale saw the scene inside, he certainly wouldn’t let this scandalous woman marry into the Rhodes Family.
Landon Sutton looked at the woman he loved and his good brother in the sa bed, and the montary shock made him pause for a mont.
Shawn Pierce was bare-chested, Shannon Quinn’s clothes were disheveled, but nothing too indecent.
Seeing Landon Sutton co in, Shannon Quinn’s nose twitched, and her eyes imdiately reddened.
Landon Sutton rushed over, took off his jacket, and draped it over Shannon Quinn, "Are you okay?"
Shannon Quinn shook her head, still sowhat scared inside.
Landon Sutton, both guilty and heartbroken, held her close, gently patting her back.
Shane Royale and Old Mr. Pierce entered the room one after another; Shane Royale was so angry he couldn’t speak, feeling sowhat embarrassed by such a situation.
And Old Mr. Pierce, without asking what had happened, imdiately saw the wound on Shawn Pierce’s arm and hurriedly instructed the butler behind him, "Quick, get a doctor up here!"
Sylvie Pierce saw the emotions in the room were not what she imagined, and her expression beca solemn.
But the show must go on, Sylvie Pierce hurriedly rushed up, anxiously looking at Shawn Pierce’s arm, saying, "Brother? What’s going on? Did Shannon do this?"
Shawn Pierce glanced at Sylvie Pierce, a bit reproachful, and stood up, saying, "It’s all a misunderstanding, nothing to do with Shannon, but I still owe Vincent an apology, also on behalf of my sister to apologize to Shannon."
"What exactly happened?"
Shawn Pierce glanced at Sylvie Pierce, looking a bit disappointed, sighed, and answered his grandfather, "Ask Shirley, she knows best."
Sylvie Pierce was stunned, not expecting things to turn out like this, and not knowing how to clean up the ss after things didn’t work out as planned.
"I never expected it, my own sister playing tricks on like this, suddenly saying she wanted to throw a birthday party, was this all planned ahead?"
"No, brother, I..."
"Shirley?" Old Mr. Pierce looked sternly at Sylvie Pierce, roughly guessing what had happened.
Sylvie Pierce lowered her head, not daring to lie in front of her grandfather.
Shane Royale, knowing that Shannon Quinn had been frad, finally relaxed. However, he also believed that Shannon Quinn wouldn’t do such a thing.
After all, when she didn’t know Vincent Rhodes’ true identity before, she could behave, and now that the family was finally going to reunite, she had no reason to betray.
The doctor quickly ca upstairs to treat Shawn Pierce’s wound.
Old Mr. Pierce also apologized to Shane Royale on behalf of Sylvie Pierce’s actions.
"It’s a blessing that nothing major happened, my apologies, it seems I’ve been too lenient with them, I’ll certainly discipline them properly next ti."
Initially fond of Sylvie Pierce, Shane Royale now knew she wasn’t as gentle and graceful as she appeared and completely dismissed the idea of letting Sylvie Pierce marry into the Rhodes Family.
"Yes, it’s fine that nothing serious happened. I see Shirley knows she was wrong; just say a few words later; no need to be too upset." Shane Royale turned to look at Landon Sutton and Shannon Quinn again, saying, "We’ve had our share of fun; let’s not disturb you, we’ll head back first."
"Alright, Butler Leighton, show Old Roy out."
"No need to see us out, I see Cole’s injuries are quite serious, and with many guests here, don’t bother about us."
"Next ti, I’ll definitely bring Shirley over to apologize properly."
Fortunately, the incident didn’t harm the harmony between the two families. Landon Sutton held Shannon Quinn as they went downstairs, initially intending to return to the hotel, but now they had to follow Shane Royale back to the Rhodes Family.
In the car, Shannon Quinn remained so tense she didn’t dare speak, thinking that although nothing happened between her and Shawn Pierce, seeing the two of them alone on a bed was still concerning.
Shane Royale was already dissatisfied with her, fearing he would seize the opportunity to criticize.
But after arriving at the Rhodes Family, Shane Royale didn’t ntion it at all, and never even bothered, just told the butler to tidy up a room on the second floor for them and went straight upstairs.
Simon Rhodes laughed and said, "Grandfather, that ans he’s accepted you."
Shannon Quinn was stunned, confusedly looking at Landon Sutton, who just smiled knowingly, wrapped his arm around her, walked up, and said to Simon Rhodes, "Brother, take an early rest."
Back in the room, with only her and Landon Sutton, she asked, "Wasn’t Grandfather angry?"
