Old Mrs. Moore did not stop Shirley but just gave her a faint look and said, "I have no objection to you going back. Just remember your identity and responsibilities. Mr. Rupert of the Davis Family is also outside, try to interact more with him."Shirley's body tensed slightly.Gloria continued, "I was able to come back smoothly this time, thanks to the help of Mr. Rupert. Without his help, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to hold on to this last bit of property."Old Mrs. Moore nodded and said, "The connection between the Moore family and the Davis Family is unbreakable."Shirley grew more horrified as she listened.She needed to go back and find out what had happened.Mrs. Moore also stood up, firmly saying, "I'll accompany you back. Mom is worried about you."Shirley looked at Mrs. Moore gratefully.Mr. Moore nodded and said, "It's good that you're going to check as well. I don't understand why we, the Moore family, have angered someone so much that they want to wipe us out co
In a luxurious hotel in Africa at this moment, Keith silently watched the phone screen light up and darken repeatedly, refusing to answer the call.Tony stood by, not daring to say a word.After many missed calls from Madam, is it really okay for Mr. Keith not to answer any of them?As the phone finally quieted down, Keith's face grew increasingly sullen."Wasn't everything handled cleanly? Why would Shirley suspect me?" Keith's gloomy face was almost dripping with water.Tony hung his head, not daring to say a word.Keith's eyes flickered uncertainly as he grabbed the phone and abruptly stood up, striding out with large steps, and threw the phone out the window."Tell Shirley that I'll be staying in Africa for a long time. Let her take care of herself." Keith said coldly to Tony."If she asks about the Moore family, how should I answer?" Tony timidly asked."Just say... I don't know." Keith gritted his teeth, "No matter what she asks, just say I don't know.""Yes..." Tony immediately
"Shirley, hesitation only brings chaos," Rupert placed a bowl of soup in front of Shirley, "If you need my help, I can offer it without any conditions."Just as Shirley was about to refuse, Rupert continued, "I'm not going to use this to make you do anything for me, it's all voluntary. Even if you don't plan on reciprocating, I will still do it."Shirley hesitated, and Rupert continued, "I just want to prove that I am serious. For you, I am willing to do anything."Shirley was taken aback by Rupert's sudden declaration and looked a bit flustered."You are so outstanding and perfect, there must be a line of women who like you from here to the Atlantic Ocean, so why..." Shirley didn't dare to look into Rupert's eyes, unsure how to respond."So what? They may like me, but they are not you. I only want you," Rupert said with a faint smile, "If I don't have the fortune to walk with you in this life, I probably won't get married."Shirley looked at Rupert in astonishment and frowned, saying
Upon hearing this voice, Shirley's body froze instantly!Keith... how could he be at the airport? Wasn't he supposed to be in Africa now? Shirley abruptly turned around and saw a Keith filled with anger and dust.Tony nervously greeted, "Madam."Shirley nodded as a form of acknowledgment, her eyes fixed on Keith.What did that statement mean?Did he even understand what he was saying?Was she such a person in his eyes?Or did he always see her as despicable?Shirley said to Rupert, "I'm sorry for troubling you this evening, Mr. Rupert, having you personally escort me so late. Now that my husband is here, I can go back with him."This was a family matter, no need for outsiders to meddle.After a brief contemplation, Rupert nodded.Seeing Shirley defend Rupert, Keith's anger surged.In the days he was in Africa, he had been thinking about her like crazy. But the moment he wasn't home, she couldn't stand the loneliness?Went to City F to find Rupert? And kept it from everyone?Keith took
Shirley paused for a moment, then averted her gaze, "I'm not as despicable as you think. I've never liked Rupert."Keith's eyes flickered with a hint of joy at Shirley's last words, but it quickly disappeared."I didn't discuss it with you because this issue has no solution. Even if I did, you wouldn't be able to solve this deadlock either. I've been to the secret realm of the Moore family, it's a place where outsiders can't step foot. Only the DNA recorded by the Moore family can open the door to the Moore family's secret realm. Do you think acquiring the Moore family will allow you to open that door? No, you can't. My adoptive mother only has three months left to live, maybe even less than three months. The longer it takes, the more her body will deteriorate. Maybe she won't even live long enough for my child to be born." Shirley gently closed her eyes."What can you do by acquiring the Moore family? You probably don't know, do you? The foundation of the Moore family is no longer in
The butler went to check and informed Shirley, "It's Miss Tina."Tina?Why was she here?Shirley suddenly realized she hadn't seen her in a long time.She had been busy overseas, unable to chat properly due to the annoying time difference.Why was she visiting today?"Quick, please let her in." Shirley touched her forehead and slowly got up.At seven months pregnant, her belly was starting to show.As the door opened, Tina breezed in with the cold air from outside."Shirley, are you okay?" Tina's first words as she entered.Shirley paled, then casually replied, "I am okay."Tina gave Shirley a serious look, as if she wanted to make sure if Shirley was lying or not before she let out a sigh of relief.As soon as Tina returned to the country, she saw the local news reporting, and upon seeing Keith fooling around outside again, Tina didn't even bother to change her clothes, she rushed over immediately.Tina's gaze fell on Shirley's belly and couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh my, the belly i
Keith stepped into the office, followed quickly by Tony."How's the situation?" Keith blurted out.As Keith's special assistant, Tony instantly understood the meaning behind Keith's words and promptly replied, "Everything is as you expected, sir. After the Moore family went bankrupt, they were deeply in debt, owing billions. Mrs. Keith, in order to save the Moore family, has decided to sell her stocks. As soon as she made her move, there was a reaction from the other side, with over a hundred billion in cash ready to buy up her stocks."A cold smirk formed at the corner of Keith's mouth. "And then?""We have investigated the flow of these funds as per your instructions. As you suspected, it was all Mr. Albert who sold off those properties along with the stocks of the advertising company. And upon further investigation, it turns out that the one truly pulling the strings is not Mr. Albert himself, but... Lillian. Lillian plans to use Mr. Albert's money to completely buy out Mrs. Keith'
"Keith never fights a battle without certainty, this time, Albert is truly done for," Evan continued with a smile. "The ridiculous part is, Albert thinks he's got a lucky break, made a fortune. But he had no idea that his every move was already calculated by Keith. How could the wealth of the Nelson family be easily controlled by someone with unknown origins? There's still some time left, if things go smoothly, this trap will be completely closed in an hour or two."Shirley didn't know what to say.She realized she had never truly understood Keith.His tactics seemed endless."Since we're friends now, may I curiously ask what are your plans for the future?" Evan couldn't help but ask. "I heard there's an engagement between the Moore family and the Davis Family." Shirley nodded, not avoiding the question."I understand your point," Shirley replied. "I don't want to divorce Keith. As you can see, he's the one I love, and I believe I'm the one in his heart. As for the Moore family, I'll
