In a single, rushed breath, Melanie Dunn laid bare everything that had happened with Sean Jennings all those years ago.
Sean Jennings met Shelly Sterling because of a car accident; he had saved her life.
Grateful, Shelly helped pull Sean's failing bathhouse business back from the brink.
With Shelly's guidance and financial support, the Jennings brothers' bathhouse was restructured, modernized, and began attracting new customers, gradually turning a profit.
At the time, Shelly promised that within three years, she would help them establish a proper company. This would be her way of repaying Sean for saving her.
On top of that, she found Sean to be simple and honest. Over time, they grew closer and became friends.
But the human heart is greedy.
The Sterling family was vast and powerful. Shelly drove a two-million-dollar car and was always dressed in luxury brands, a picture of extravagance.
And she was beautiful.
