Seeing the uncertain and angry expressions on both their faces, Tina felt speechless.

At this moment, Rupert chimed in with timely support, "If you can't come up with the money, I can cover it."

Keith's expression darkened even more.

What did Rupert mean by that?

Covering for Shirley?

On what grounds?

Was Shirley really getting close to Rupert now?

Was she really interested in him?

Well, Rupert had looks and a background that matched his own.

It wouldn't be surprising if she chose Rupert!

No wonder she was so cold-hearted, saying it's time to end things and go separate ways!

She already had a backup plan!

Fine, fine!

Shirley, you can!

Keith looked up again, his eyes icy as they pierced through Shirley.

Keith's words were already tinged with a hint of gritted teeth, "How much money do you think can compensate for the harm Lillian has suffered?"

    Tina drove Shirley's sports car slowly towards the Moore family.On the way, Tina said as she drove, "Actually, nothing happened between Keith and Lillian these past few days. Lillian seemed to want to get close to Keith, but Keith didn't pay her any attention.""Tina, I don't want to talk about him," Shirley said calmly. "Since we've decided to part ways, I don't want to know what will happen during this process.""Okay..." Tina shrugged helplessly. "How have you been these past few days?""Just the same..." Shirley sighed lightly. "Coming to the Moore family, there's joy and sorrow.""I remember Mr. Moore seemed to have adopted a relative's child as his own daughter, so when you went to the Moore family..." Tina hesitated for a moment before continuing, "You didn't have anything happen with her, did you?""What I want to tell you is about that," Shirley's expression became more solemn. "It's not convenient to talk about it here, and I couldn't call you to come out, so I had to bring

What did this mean?"Open it, it's all for you," Keith's eyes looked a bit shy, almost embarrassed.Embarrassed?What was there to be embarrassed about?Curiously, Shirley opened the box.As soon as the box was opened, Shirley's face turned red. Inside the box was an extremely exquisite set of pajamas.What did this mean?"Stay the night tonight," Keith's eyes were avoiding hers, and he seemed a bit shy, almost like a teenage boy with his first crush, his ears even turning red after saying that.Shirley's eyes quickly averted, unable to look at Keith.Though she didn't protest, her ears were turning red too.Despite th

    At that moment, sounds of Claire hysterically smashing things and crying could be heard from the room, sending shivers down everyone's spine.Shirley sighed softly in her heart.Wasn't she luckier than Claire?At least, Keith, unlike that elusive man, showed responsibility and courage.Keith sensed Shirley's thoughts, gently took her hand, and gave it a reassuring squeeze.Shirley nodded, indicating she understood.At this point, a car pulled up outside, and a man about Mr. Moore's age got out of the car, carrying some nourishment over.As soon as this man approached, the couple who had just been talking to Mr. Moore reacted as if they had seen a nemesis, their eyes instantly red, and they charged toward the man."You despicable bastard, you ruined my daughter!"

    After stomping out the cigarette butt on the floor, Lillian picked up the cup intending to take a sip, only to find it empty.Anxiously, she put the cup down and paced around the room.This shabby motel was tucked away in a corner of the old town, notorious for its crime and violence.Lillian really didn't want to be here, but she couldn't think of a better option for hiding out.The big hotels required ID registration, and she didn't want to risk being recognized, especially looking as disheveled as she did, with her scruffy appearance.She couldn't even bear to see herself like this, let alone others.This morning, while washing her face, she felt a lump in her throat, a sign that it might protrude again.This discovery made her extremely uneasy.In order to expedite the surgery and achieve the desired effect, she opted for a conservative procedure, leaving part of the Adam's apple intact.In other words, if her testosterone levels rose again, surpassing the estrogen in her body, sh

    Well, Lillian would if she could!She felt all numb now!She could only look at Evan with pleading eyes, hoping he would spare her considering she had given him her first time.Sure enough, Evan caught Lillian's plea and immediately said, "Hannah, that's enough. You must be tired from all the hitting, be careful of the baby in your stomach."Hannah stopped immediately as Evan spoke.Shirley and Tina were once again speechless in shock.What a nice way Hannah turned things around!Indeed, Hannah must have been tired; hitting someone was physically exhausting!Hannah pointed at Lillian, accusingly saying, "You heartless creature, I considered you my friend, and you slept with my husband!"Shirley touched her nose; why did that line sound so familiar?Despite Lillian being physically numb, her mouth could still talk. However, the voice sounded oddly off."Hannah, do you think I don't know how you got pregnant?" Lillian's face was swollen from Hannah's hits, and coupled with her hoarse vo

    Keith nodded, "You do understand my style and methods. Indeed, anyone who dares to target the Nelson family won't survive more than three days. I spared your life for a reason. You haven't disappointed me; you've smoothly resolved the trouble I wanted to get rid of."Lillian was trembling even more violently, "You...you...""Lillian, you've got some nerve! You actually wanted to lay a finger on the Nelson family's influence in Europe. Should I praise your bravery, or mock your stupidity?" Keith sighed lightly, "You thought getting enough shares would let you meddle in Europe? That's incredibly amusing!"Lillian glared fiercely at Keith, her voice becoming even hoarser, lacking the sweetness and clarity it once had. Instead, it sounded like a cracked drum, extremely grating."If you know everything, then do what you will with me!" Lillian gritted her teeth.Despite her words, her eyes kept drifting towards the door, as if waiting for something.Suddenly, Keith chuckled softly."Why wou

    Lillian heard Monica's words and burst out laughing without reservation!"I'm talking nonsense? Monica, can you swear you haven't fallen for Simon?" A strange flush suddenly rose on Lillian's face, letting the cold wind blow against her, but she felt nothing, turning to look at Monica like this. "Yeah, with this scandal, how could you possibly keep it under wraps? You love Simon so much, you went as far as warning Susan, stirring up trouble with Shirley. But no matter how you cover it up, do you think everyone is a fool?"Monica recoiled in fear, frantically trying to explain, "It's just sibling affection...""Enough, save those lies to deceive yourself, stop pretending in front of me." Lillian continued pressing on: "But, I wonder, how would Simon feel if he knew his adoring little sister, who's been in love with him for over a decade, what would be his state of mind?"Monica finally panicked, reaching out to cover Lillian's mouth, but Lillian slapped Monica's hand away, looking at M

Shirley countered Evan.As Evan hesitated about whether to help, a commotion erupted at the entrance.Shirley followed the crowd's gaze.

    Following Evan's gaze, Shirley turned around and saw Lillian in a white fur coat, wearing a red form-fitting dress underneath.Lillian walked in with a man in his forties on her arm."Lillian changes her man every time she appears," Tina remarked, crossing her arms. "Evan, did you invite her?"Hearing Tina's disdainful tone, Evan quickly replied, "Come on, why would I invite her? She's just a minor character, and doesn't have the qualifications. But the man next to her might be a potential investor tonight. Shirley, do you remember him?"Shirley looked puzzled at Evan, "Why should I remember him?"Evan smirked mischievously, "Because he's Director Alice's ex-husband!""Pfft..." Shirley and Tina both sprayed out the juice in their mouths!Shirley looked incredulous, "No way? Is Director Alice coming tonight as well?"Evan laughed more maliciously, "Yep, Director Alice will be here too! I wonder what it would be like for her to see her ex-husband attending this party with her actresses.
