Still Wanna Escape After Stealing My Heart? novel Chapter 1394

Both Jennie and Lori were dumbfounded.

"Spill!" A roar erupted from Marcus. "What have the two of you done to hurt my aunt and cousin? Tell us the truth!"

Jennie was so embarrassed at being scolded by someone younger than her that she didn't know what t o do with herself. She glanced over at Sean and his wife and found Rose stunned, while Sean observed the situation with concern. Jennie realized that under the power of the old Master Shaw, she couldn't depend on anyone else given the circumstances. Even if Sean wanted to help her out of the temporary bond they shared over that one night of intimacy, Sean's mother, the old Madam Ford, wouldn't allow him. At that moment, she could only face reality.

"Uncle, you...you being confused, your avoidance to take part in things that happen out there, even your illness and your incapability to eat well were all just a play? Actually, you have known everything from the start, haven't you?" she asked gingerly.

"Not entirely," the old Master Shaw claimed sternly," it's true that I've been ill. My health has gone downhill ever since my daughter refused to acknowledge me as her father a month ago. My illness and the fact that I couldn't eat were not entirely a play, but like I said, I'm not deaf or blind."

"Jennie!" The old Master Shaw drawled. "If I'm not mistaken, you have set your eyes on my granddaughter's husband, Sebastian, as soon as you got off the plane, am I right?"

Jennie's face reddened. "Uncle, you-"

"Since you have plotted against my granddaughter and my daughter from the moment you got off that plane, I don't think you should call me Uncle anymore. We are not on the same side here. The enemies of my daughter and my granddaughter are naturally mine as well."

Jennie looked guilty.

"You and your daughter have been plotting to take my granddaughter's happy family from her! Lori, taking your adopted daughter to Aino's kindergarten was the first step. After that, you tricked your way into getting Marcus's VIP pass to see Sebastian, and that was the second step, which failed! You made a fool out of yourself at the Ford Group, because you didn't expect my granddaughter to be such a fierce woman! After that, you reflected on your plan and changed your approaches by starting to put together a trap! My granddaughter noticed it when you were setting up the trap, even my daughter did, which was why my daughter came to the Shaw residence's door to talk to me about this. And yet, you! Jennie! My daughter was already there right in front of my door and you told her off! Do you know how miserable I felt when you insulted my daughter? I cared for you so much when you were young, and you can't even show my daughter a little bit of kindness?"

There was only silence.

The old Master Shaw chuckled sarcastically. "Though, it's not entirely your fault. You saw with your own eyes how much I spoiled you while I ruined my own daughter, so it's not all your fault. However," His tone took a sharp turn and became stern once again. "This time, my daughter didn't do anything to you, did she? She just wanted to reason with her own father, why would you try everything you could to stop her? Not only did you stop her from seeing me, you went to where she takes dancing lessons the next, looking for trouble. You even asked four of my bodyguards to hit her! Jennie! I cared for you and in the end, you went and confronted my daughter? What exactly did she do to you, for you bring all those people with you to go and harass her and damage her reputation?" At that point, the old Master Shaw's tone had become increasingly pressuring.

"I...Uncle...You..." Jennie couldn't even find the word t o explain herself.
