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
The next day, Shirley went out with her driver, bodyguards, and her little assistant.For Shirley, the past few days at home were nothing more than reading and watering flowers, and time passed quickly. But for her assistant, it was simply a week of torment. Now being able to go out and play, she was ecstatic.The driver drove straight to the parking lot of the newly opened mall.Assistant Alan was right; this mall was indeed newly opened, and there were so many people there!As soon as Shirley appeared on the first floor of the mall, even before her bodyguards could catch up, she saw several staff members in light gray suits appearing in front of her.Several of them simultaneously bowed and greeted, "Excuse me, are you Miss Shirley?""I'm Shirley, and you are..." Shirley looked at them in surprise. She wasn't a celebrity or a star, and her exposure rate wasn't that high. How could they know her?"We were ordered by the president to specially welcome Miss Shirley," the lead person re
Shirley reflexively stood up, her face turning pale in an instant. "Mr. Rupert, that's quite a joke! I have something to attend to. I'll be leaving now!"Shirley had barely taken two steps when Rupert reached out and grabbed her wrist.Shirley tried to break free, but once again she realized that her strength did not affect men at all!"You better listen to me first and then decide whether you want to leave or stay," Rupert said, his large hand clasping Shirley's delicate wrist, the smooth touch making his heart flutter for a moment.Camille was right, he did have some inexplicable feelings towards Shirley.He couldn't quite put his finger on it, whether it was because Shirley resembled Susan or because his emotional world had been dry for too long and suddenly he encountered such an interesting girl, his gaze couldn't help but be drawn to her.Shirley stood still, not looking at Rupert. "Mr. Rupert, isn't it too early for you to sabotage the cooperation with the Nelson Family Group t
Shirley promptly replied, "Alright, Mr. Rupert, since you say so, how could I refuse?""Still calling me Mr. Rupert?" Rupert's eyes twinkled with amusement."Rupert," Shirley quickly corrected herself.As Shirley uttered the word, Rupert's pupils momentarily contracted. He vividly remembered the first time Susan had spoken his name in that calm voice.Susan, can you tell me, is Shirley really your alter ego? Why does she bear so many traces of you? Why, despite being strangers, do you share so many similarities?If all of this is just a coincidence, then it's one heck of a coincidence!"Sorry, I should be heading back," Shirley said, checking her wrist for the time. It was already noon, and she had been out all morning.A hint of reluctance flashed in Rupert's eyes, but now that Shirley had just let down her guard, he didn't want her to distance herself from him again.So, Rupert nodded and said, "I'll have someone escort you back.""No need, I have a driver," Shirley declined.Shirle
Shirley felt like her breath was being restricted!Damn it!Rose, why are you coming after me, why treat my mom like this?!We played together as kids, my mom was so good to you. How can you repay her kindness with malice?When you were naughty and got punished by your parents, you ran away in the middle of the night. Your whole family was worried sick, and it was my mom who used a flashlight to find you and carry you back from the ditch!Rose, have you lost your humanity?Shirley took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. "Where's my mom?""Of course, she's with me. Shirley, here's your chance. Bring five million, and I'll let you reunite with your mom. Remember, it has to be cash. If Keith finds out or you call the cops, then you can wait to collect your mom's corpse!" After Rose finished speaking, she immediately gave an address and hung up.Five million!Where am I supposed to get a million?!Mom, what should I do?!Assistant Alan saw Shirley's pale face and asked urgently,
