Chapter 80 It was as if a fog had been lifted from their eyes , my father and my brother suddenly saw much more clearly . Their gazes turned toward Sally and they quickly became strange . Ever since Sally had been brought back home , they had had a very bad impression of her . Yet , after the contract incident , it was as if they had been bewitched ; they began constantly pouring their efforts into her . " The more they did for her , the more emotionally invested they became . In turn , their perception of Sally gradually shifted . " All these years , they had assumed it was me who had been bullying Sally . They had completely forgotten that when she first returned , before she learned to put on a facade , she had actually been filled with jealousy and disgust toward me . This realization sparked a surge of anger and inexplicable hatred within them . < Aidan and my father reflexively opened their mouths to hurl insults , but the debt of gratitude they owed her swiftly took hold once more . My father took a deep breath , his expression icy as he addressed Sally . " Enough . Your sister isn't that kind of person . " \ " From the moment you returned to the Shermans , she has always helped you and it was with her help that you integrated into the family and learned so much . If you hadn't insisted on seducing Connor , your relationship would still be very good and you wouldn't have gone through all those things . Everything is your own doing . " " Don't let me hear you slander your sister in such a sneaky way again , or I will cut ties with you! " As he spoke , he tore up the share contract that Connor had just handed him and mercilessly threw it on the ground . " Since you've both stated you don't want the Sherman Corporation shares , there's no need for me to force them on you . That's it . " } After saying that , my father turned to leave . Aidan glanced at the couple with a complex look and then followed him . " Dad , Dad , what are you saying ? Please let me explain ! It's not what you think . I can explain it to you ! " } Sally cried out , trying to chase after them . Unfortunately , neither Aidan nor my father gave her the chance , their backs growing smaller and smaller in the distance . @ Only when their figures vanished from sight did Sally halt , stamping her foot in fury . " Damn , Susan ! Damn her ! After being ruined to such an extent , why can't she die quietly ? Why must she keep interfering ? Why stir up so much trouble to grab my father and brother's attention ? " At this thought , Sally's eyes darkened with malice . " Susan , you'd better have truly perished in the villa fire . Otherwise , I won't let you off easy ! " } Connor behind her , showed no reaction whatsoever to this side of her . Ever since Aidan and my father had left , his expression had remained utterly blank . 1 Seeing Sally seething helplessly beside him , even threatening to make Susan suffer , he scoffed . " Sally , you'd better make good on your promise to make Susan's life miserable . Otherwise , my family won't let you off . You haven't forgotten how you married me , have you ? " He shot Sally a meaningful glance . That girl couldn't help but tremble under his gaze . " You must secure the Shermans ' shares . You know your best option now is my family . If Calvin and Aidan discover your true colors , you'll be kicked out very soon . " " " No , it might not be as simple as being kicked out . Remember how Calvin and Aidan once showered Susan with every conceivable indulgence ? Yet you managed to pull them away from her , even driving them to do those things to her . You really are quite formidable . " Connor's gaze toward Sally grew strangely intrigued . " That's precisely why I chose you . I don't know what methods you used , but I know that if your true nature or the things you did to Susan behind the scenes were exposed , you'd likely die a miserable death . " % That man actually began to laugh . " Sally , hurry up and do your part . Secure the Shermans ' shares . Only then will my family grant you protection and let you live . Otherwise , I'll have no choice but to watch you die . " N Connor paid no longer attention to Sally's ashen face . He turned and walked toward the backstage area , leaving her standing there alone , staring at his retreating figures with resentful eyes.W
