Mrs. Turner, who had been standing by all this time, finally had the opportunity to interject, "William, what's going on? How did you end up with Rose?""Who ended up with him?" Rose originally wanted to look disdainfully at Mrs. Turner, but considering her plans for the next step, she immediately changed her tone and said, "William and I were friends from the beginning, right?"William stared at Rose, and after a long time, he finally came to his senses and replied, "Uh... yeah, that's right!"Rose felt a wave of nausea seeing William's leering eyes.In college, she knew that before William dated Shirley, he had actually pursued Rose first!But who was Rose? She was someone who had ventured into modeling at a young age, with her sights set on prestigious gentlemen like Keith. What would she see in someone like William?So, Rose deliberately introduced Shirley to William, merely using Shirley to divert William's attention.Now that William had lost everything, Rose descended from the
Shirley turned her body away from Keith, closed her eyes tightly, and took a deep breath.She kept mentally coaching herself, warning herself, reminding herself: Shirley, you know Keith isn't an ordinary man. You know you can't control someone like him, and he'll never love an ordinary woman like you. Why are you so infatuated? Shirley, wake up! He's only good to you because of the child! Didn't you know that from the start? Why deceive yourself into thinking he could ever love you? Stop it, okay? Shirley, open your eyes! Tell yourself you can remain unaffected!After finishing her mental preparations, Shirley suddenly opened her eyes.At that moment, any excitement or hope in her eyes was replaced with cold rationality.Just as Shirley was about to turn around, she heard Keith say, "It's about time we leave. Hurry up and get ready." With that, Keith turned and walked away.Shirley's body tensed noticeably.She reached out and touched her chest.Thankfully, she had prepared herself me
Shirley smiled.Camille sighed lightly, elegantly propping her chin with one hand as she looked at Shirley and said softly, "Perhaps I shouldn't say this, but I really want to thank you for being here. Susan's departure has hit us all hard, and although I know you're not Susan, seeing you healthy and alive gives me the illusion that Susan is still alive.""My presence can give you comfort, finally not wasting this face." Shirley smiled and said.As their words trailed off, the two exchanged a smile.Unlike Tina's seductiveness, Camille had a slender figure, always giving off a delicate vibe.Perhaps because Camille liked Susan, and Susan was a typical fragile beauty, so Camille subconsciously followed this pattern?Camille had many dishes sent to their table and insisted Shirley didn't need to get up, serving her some food herself."If it doesn't suit your taste, just let me know. There are over a hundred dishes prepared for tonight's banquet, plus dozens of flavors of desserts and fr
As soon as Keith left, Camille dropped the other guests and came back to accompany Shirley.Shirley felt guilty seeing Camille prioritizing her over her other friends."Camille, I'm a bit tired. Can we find a place to rest for a while? It's too noisy here, not suitable for me," Shirley intentionally said, not wanting to keep Camille tied to her and affecting her conversations with others.Camille immediately replied with a smile, "Of course we can. Although everyone's conversations are not loud, it does get a bit noisy with so many people. How about resting in my room? It's probably the quietest place.""Alright," Shirley nodded.Shirley stood up from her seat, and her assistant, Alan, quickly followed and accompanied them to Camille's room."The Davis Family is really generous! In this location in T City, it's not something you can buy just because you have money," Shirley couldn't help but exclaim, "I heard that when this villa was bought by a mysterious person some time ago, it cau
As soon as Camille heard Gloria's voice, she walked in and saw Shirley sitting with Gloria.Camille looked helpless and said to Shirley, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect Ms. Gloria to..."Shirley gently shook her head. "It's alright."Gloria said to Camille, "You didn't want me to come to your room because Miss Shirley was here, right? Camille, I'm sorry, I was in a hurry. Previously, I used to come directly to your room to wait for you, but this time I didn't think..."Shirley felt that the atmosphere in the room was strange, and she seemed to be the cause of all the problems. So she had to step up and resolve the situation."Alright, I really don't mind at all. Don't let my presence ruin your relationship with each other." Shirley smiled and said, "I'm quite happy chatting with Ms. Gloria here. Camille, I even have to thank this misunderstanding. Otherwise, I would have been bored here reading alone, and my assistant isn't good at making conversation."Shirley's assistant silently took t
Shirley had no idea why Keith suddenly went crazy. She struggled hard but realized she couldn't break free from Keith's grip."What's gotten into you? Keith, let go!" Shirley shouted, "You let go, you're hurting me!"In the past, if Keith had heard Shirley say that, he would have let go.But at that moment, his brain was consumed by anger, caring little about whether Shirley would be in pain or not.That photo...It was a picture of Shirley intimately embracing William!Could it mean that while she appeared to be loyal to Keith, she had reconciled with William behind his back?Shirley!How dare you!No woman in this world has ever dared to play me!You're the first!Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you're carrying the heir of the Nelson family?"From today onwards, Madam is to stay indoors due to ill health," Keith almost squeezed out these chilling words from between his teeth.Shirley was shocked!What did he just say?Stay indoors?He wanted to confine her?Wh
Shirley gently stroked her belly without answering Tina's question, but she smiled softly. "Tina, you should be able to sense that I've always felt distant from everything here. It's to avoid feeling attached when the time comes to leave.""Yes, I can feel it," Tina said, staring intently at Shirley. "I can sense it, and Keith... he must have sensed it too, right?"Shirley didn't answer that question.Whether Keith sensed it or not didn't seem important anymore.He had returned to Rose's side. Rose repeatedly used her and finally achieved her goals.Oh well, no point in digging into it anymore.Consider it repaying nearly twenty years of friendship with this act of kindness.From now on, Shirley and Rose would have no connection.But thinking about how Rose repeatedly used and retaliated against her, Shirley suddenly felt foolish.If Tina hadn't told her the truth, she might have continued to be deceived...Doesn't matter anymore...If she chose to leave the Nelson family and Keith, s
Shirley nodded and ignored Rose, turning back into the house.As soon as Shirley entered, a maid brought a glass of juice to her. Before Shirley could reach out to take it, Rose snatched it away and drank it all in a gulp.Janet and the maid were shocked by Rose's behavior! Such shamelessness!"This juice is good, I like it!" Rose handed the empty glass back to the maid and said, "I have high demands for my quality of life. You better work well, otherwise, your job is at risk! I'm a bit tired now, where is Keith's room? I want to rest!"What? She wants to go to her room? Even if Shirley has a good temper, she can't hold it in anymore."Rose, do you need to explain your medical case to me?" Shirley said coldly, "Aren't you supposed to be in the hospital for your cancer? Why did you come here instead?""Aha..." Rose immediately stood in front of Shirley, brushing away Shirley's messy hair, and whispered in her ear, "You're so dumb, aren't you? I keep betraying you over and over again, a
