"To grow up quickly, I did many, many things. Many things, even now, I can't mention to you. But, Shirley, now I'm strong enough. No one can harm me anymore, and no one will be able to harm you either!" Keith gently held Shirley's fingers. "When Albert returns to the Nelson family, Grandma will give him some shares and money. You are the eldest sister-in-law, your position is delicate, so many people will be watching your behavior. Because your behavior represents my attitude."Shirley nodded.But this standard was difficult to grasp!Albert was the legitimate son vying for power in the Nelson family, and herself, the wife of the heir of the Nelson family, it was inappropriate to be too enthusiastic or too indifferent towards a half-brother!"You telling me these things so seriously makes me happy, it shows you don't see me as an outsider." Shirley held Keith's hand back and said seriously, "Don't worry, I won't let you down! I will also protect the wealth of the Nelson family for you
Shirley frowned. "Mom, isn't this none of my business? According to Keith, Grandma might assign a subsidiary to Albert to manage. Albert won't be able to meddle with the headquarters. Moreover, both the headquarters and the subsidiary belong to Keith. Mom, what's there to worry about? Instead of worrying about Albert, shouldn't you be worried about how to talk to Grandma and stop Helen from entering the Nelson family genealogy? It's a sure thing that Albert will enter the family genealogy, but if Helen gets on it, then she'll be on equal footing with you, Mom!""You vile woman!" Mrs. Nelson angrily exclaimed, her face contorting almost ruining all her efforts to look refined.Shirley stood there, not responding."Do you have any ideas?" Mrs. Nelson suddenly looked up at Shirley.Shirley shook her head and said, "Now Grandma is the one in charge of the Nelson family. Helen's breakthrough also lies with Grandma. What ideas could I possibly have?""But you're the eldest grandson's wife,
"No rush," Shirley smiled. "My surname and name don't really matter. Mom raised me single-handedly, and I don't want to hurt her feelings."Shirley was referring to Anna.Grandma Nelson nodded. "Hmm, it's your decision. However, the Moore family is on the invitation list this time, and Anna's status... isn't up to the standard, so...""I understand," Shirley nodded.Albert was hosting a birthday party, and Anna indeed didn't qualify to attend.Grandma Nelson seemed increasingly satisfied with Shirley.It seemed like Shirley had really changed after returning from City F. Her whole demeanor had undergone a kind of refinement.Although Shirley knew the five percent of shares in her hands were obtained through Keith's manipulation of Grandma Nelson, it was still with Grandma Nelson's approval.So, Shirley was still very grateful to Grandma Nelson.The three chatted about some family matters, and then the assistant came to report that Albert and Helen had arrived.Grandma Nelson narrowed
Shirley had never been quite clear about Keith's position in the Nelson family. But today, Shirley got a firsthand look.Keith actually took her directly to a room filled with various treasures. Many of them were priceless antiques. It was evident that the Nelson family's collection was extremely rich. And this was just Grandma Nelson's personal collection!Grandma Nelson's assistant said respectfully to Shirley, "Mrs. Keith, these are all items that Old Mrs. Nelson wants to give to Mr. Albert. Old Mrs. Nelson said that since you joined the Nelson family, you haven't had a chance to receive anything from her. So this time, she wants you to pick first, and whatever is left will be given to Mr. Albert."Shirley quickly glanced at Keith.Keith gently squeezed her hand, showing his support.Shirley nodded with a smile at Grandma Nelson's assistant. "Since it's grandma's order, then I won't be polite. Alan..."Alan immediately stepped forward.Shirley smiled and said, "Get ready to have th
Mrs. Moore watched Shirley's performance from afar and finally let go of her worries.But for some reason, Mrs. Moore felt more and more that Shirley resembled her daughter...This was probably a kind of genetic instinct.Although Shirley's lineage as a descendant of the Moore family hadn't been revealed to Mr. Moore and Mrs. Moore, the two of them instinctively felt close to Shirley because of their blood ties.And when Shirley found out that Mr. Moore and Mrs. Moore were her biological parents, but were kept hidden from her by her biological grandmother, she suddenly had a different feeling towards them.Mrs. Moore found a moment to come to Shirley's side, looking at her with concern. "Shirley, are you holding up okay? Do you want to take a break?"Shirley shook her head lightly. "Mom, I'm fine! Today is very important for the Nelson family, and it's also important for me. Today is my official debut, and many people are watching me! I can't afford to mess up.""Shirley, if you don't
Shirley took in this scene, understanding it in her heart."Now are you relieved?" Keith's teasing voice rang in Shirley's ears."Did you orchestrate this?" Shirley countered Keith.Keith couldn't deny it, smiling, "I just introduced Lillian to Albert. That's all I did."Suddenly, Shirley understood!Keith probably also hinted to Lillian that Albert's return to the Nelson family would bring him a lot of wealth and status, right?So, he was the one playing the game.Despite appearing calm and relaxed on the surface, Keith had orchestrated so many things behind the scenes.Keith reached out and wrapped his arm around Shirley from behind, giving her a light kiss on the head. "If Lillian knew what's good for her, I would have overlooked what she did in the past. Unfortunately, she shouldn't have targeted you... I won't allow anyone to bully you. Because only I can bully you..."After saying that, Keith grabbed Shirley's breasts with his big hand. "Hmm, seems a bit bigger."Shirley didn't
Lillian smirked sarcastically. "Why? Indeed, why... I want enough wealth, status, power, and luxury, etc. So, since Keith doesn't want me, and you don't want me, I can only find a man who has all of that."Stanford didn't know what else to say.He truly had nothing to say at this point.The once beautiful image of Lillian had collapsed in his mind.Indeed, the current Lillian was not the one he knew.Stanford thought of all the things he had done for Lillian and suddenly felt ridiculous.He had been used to such an extent and still... without complaint or regret...No wonder Tina wanted to break up with him, no wonder Tina handed in her resignation directly...How blind had his eyes been before?"Alright, I should go back now. After all, I'm Albert's date today," Lillian said after finishing her sentence, frowning. "Stanford, don't just come to find me randomly from now on."After saying this, Lillian turned and left.Stanford stood there, stunned for a long time before he came back t
Monica blurted out without holding back, "You're not the official daughter of the Moore family! Just because you look exactly like Susan doesn't mean you can take Susan's place!"As soon as those words came out, everyone present instantly turned pale!Keith, with an icy tone, spoke up, "Looks like my family affairs need my cousin to meddle?"When Shirley turned around, she saw Keith's grim expression.Monica was very afraid of Keith. As soon as she saw Keith's dark face, she immediately coquettishly said to Mrs. Nelson, "Auntie, look how fierce cousin is!"Mrs. Nelson immediately said to Shirley, "Your cousin is still young, as her sister-in-law, you shouldn't lower yourself to her level.""Mom, I don't want anyone to target Shirley. Even if it's someone from the Smith family!" Keith didn't give Monica any face, publicly putting her in her place, "Shirley is my wife, whether she's good or bad, it's my own business, it's none of anyone else's!"Monica heard Keith reprimanding her in pu
