"Infant abduction? The Grays look so polished and put together, but they're human traffickers?"
"All human traffickers need to go to hell!"
"Human traffickers? Which baby did they kidnap?"
"I have a bold guess!"
"Do you even need to ask? Shannon's their adoptive daughter, right?"
"Wait, that can't be it. Are the Grays really that horrifying?"
"Oh, my God. No wonder Shannon acted like that despite the Grays raising her! If my adoptive parents were actually human traffickers who took me from my family, I'd hate them with every fiber of my being!"
"That's putting it mildly. I'd beat them up every time I saw them!"
"To think I actually criticized Shannon earlier! I told her off on behalf of some human traffickers!"
"Even if they're human traffickers, they still raised her, didn't they? She's gone overboard, calling the cops on them!"
"Whoa, are you a saint? Go to heaven or something. They need you there!"
"Shannon's been busy filming this whole time, guys. When did you see her calling the cops?"
"I bet Shannon's actual family couldn't stand the Grays making her look bad on TV. Now, this is what you call shooting yourself in the foot!"
"I'm sorry, Shannon, for criticizing you earlier!"
Before she could reach Shannon, some members of the crew stopped her. Shannon didn't even have the chance to say anything before Olivia snapped, "Are you dumb or something? Shannon wouldn't have waited to this day if she wanted to call the cops!
"If your parents really were involved in infant abduction, that makes them human traffickers! So what if they raised the child they kidnapped? That doesn't cancel out the crime they committed!"
Her words echoed the thoughts of most of the people present, especially since Shannon looked like this was new information to her.
Rachel looked aggrieved at being shouted at and pointed at Shannon, clamoring for her to take responsibility for the mess.
Shannon refused to go along with her. She said coldly, "Rather than squabbling with me here and humiliating yourself, you should think about what you're going to do if Francis and Sheila are found guilty."
After that, she ignored Rachel, who was screaming hysterically, and thanked the cast and crew. Then, she got into the car the Jensen family had sent to pick her up.
It was only then that everyone noticed how luxurious and expensive the car was. They linked it to the shower of gifts the Jensen family had given Shannon, and it was easy to imagine what Shannon's actual family's financial situation was like.
