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
Keith seemed surprised to see Shirley there as well. Before he could say anything, Rose came stumbling out of the study.Shirley glanced at Rose, whose clothes could hardly be called clothes anymore – she might as well have been naked."I didn't..." Keith started to explain when he saw Rose, but for some reason, he felt a panic rising within him.However, before he could finish his sentence, Shirley interrupted with a calm and unaffected voice, "I'm sorry for eavesdropping on your little activities. I just felt a bit thirsty and wanted to go downstairs for a glass of water. Please continue!"After saying those words, Shirley turned around to leave.But her actions completely infuriated Keith.He quickly strode forward, grabbing Shirley's wrist with a strong grip, forcefully dragging her back to the bedroom. He kicked the door shut with a bang!"What are you trying to do?!" Shirley struggled, but Keith was much stronger, and she was no match for him.After struggling for a while, Shirl
Shirley's fingers trembled gently. Her gaze instantly softened.What does he mean by this?Did he think... that the person who held him in the study was her? And that's why Rose almost succeeded? And that's why he hurriedly left the study in a mess?Then... who was he with during this week that he didn't come back?He said he didn't touch Rose. So, can she trust him?Wait. Whether he touched Rose or not, what does that have to do with her?She and Keith were just... fake husband and wife under a contract. She had no right to care about whether he touched other women or not.However, she couldn't suppress the surging joy in her heart.Shirley unbuttoned all the buttons, and Keith's incredibly attractive upper body came into her view.Shirley couldn't help but stare for three seconds, discreetly swallowing her saliva. His physique was truly extraordinary...Keith naturally didn't miss the envy that briefly flickered in Shirley's eyes. If Shirley were to look up at him now, she would cer
Rose had been eavesdropping on the commotion in the adjacent room all along.Ever since Keith angrily smashed the cabinet mirror, Rose had been filled with anticipation.In her view, since Keith and Shirley were having such a big fight, Keith definitely wouldn't sleep with Shirley tonight!Then she could pretend to comfort Keith tenderly, and under his emotional gratitude, they would surely end up sleeping together!As long as she succeeded in that, one of Rose's feet would officially step into the Nelson family's gate.But Rose waited and waited for a long time.She waited until everyone finished making a fuss, and still, Keith didn't come to her room seeking solace.How could this be happening?Why did everything suddenly become so weird?Shirley, what kind of witchcraft did you use to make Keith so devoted to you?I refuse to accept this! Shirley! Don't force me!I won't allow you to take away everything that belongs to me!Rose grabbed a porcelain vase from the table, intending t
