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
After dropping Shirley back at Tina's house, Keith went home, took a shower, and emerged from the bathroom, drying his hair as he asked, "What's Shirley up to now?"Tony reported, "Madam seemed to have stayed up late with Miss Tina last night, and she's still catching up on sleep."Keith's fingers paused slightly as he dried his hair, then resumed, "Got it."With his appearance neat again, Keith knocked on Evan's door and found Evan just finished showering as well.Evan shared said, "Just this morning, I received a call from Lillian. She's using her connection with Hannah to audition for a TV show I'm about to film."Keith reacted quickly, "You agreed?"Evan smirked playfully, "Why not? This came through Hannah."Keith's eyes flickered, "You did it on purpose, didn't you?""Isn't it fun?" Evan's smirk grew more mischievous, "So, how about we let Shirley join in? After all the trouble she's been through, doesn't she want to reclaim some status?"Keith chuckled.Though he, Evan, and Sta
Evan arrived in an extremely flashy bright red Maserati.Tina shook her head in dismay, saying to Shirley, "I really wonder if there is a woman in this world who can make the flashy Evan settle down.""Isn't it Hannah?" Shirley answered casually.Tina chuckled, "Forget it. Hannah? Maybe before I met her, I would believe that the playboy no longer a playboy, falling in love with an ordinary music teacher. But after meeting Hannah, I know that this woman is also blinded by worldly pursuits, thinking she's Cinderella turning into a princess. What kind of man is Evan? The first time he saw you, he was polite and did not defend Lillian just because she is Hannah's friend. Lillian has known Evan for a long time too, and Evan tilted the balance towards you, which means, in Evan's mind, it's crystal clear! Does Hannah want to capture Evan's heart? Dream on!"Lillian never expected in her wildest dreams that she would meet Shirley again, and in such a situation.One was an actress auditioning.
Evan lazily smiled and walked over to Lillian's car.Lillian took the initiative to open the car door for Evan. Looking behind Evan, she noticed that Keith and Stanford hadn't followed, a hint of joy flickering in her eyes.Evan didn't miss the joy in Lillian's eyes, effortlessly plopping down in the passenger seat."Hannah called me earlier, and said you were mistreated during the audition?" Evan looked at Lillian with a teasing smile.Her eyes welled up, and biting her lower lip tightly, Lillian gazed sorrowfully at Evan and softly said, "I brought it on myself, can't blame anyone else, right? Shirley and Tina don't like me, that's common knowledge. Keith and Stanford are childhood friends of mine, it's understandable they dislike me. But we are just friends, their misunderstanding of me is unwarranted..."Evan watched Lillian's performance with a smirk.Oh, just a few days ago, this woman claimed to be in love with Keith, and now she's just good friends with him?That's quite a big
