Anna shot up from her chair, turning to leave. "I don't know what you're talking about!""Mom..." Shirley sighed softly. "Are you forcing me to do a DNA test with the Moore family? You should know, that nowadays it's easy to verify relationships! I haven't done it because I wanted to respect you! Regardless, you're my mother, the one who raised me, and I deserve an explanation."Anna stood frozen in place, as if struck by lightning.After a long while, Anna sighed heavily. "Since you want to know so badly... Shirley, whatever I say today, promise me you won't hold it against anyone. Okay?"Shirley's eyes flickered. Could there be even more unspeakable secrets hidden in all this?"Okay," Shirley replied calmly. "I've already experienced the worst outcome. What could be worse than that?"Anna sat back down, carefully choosing her words before speaking softly. "Yes, you are indeed... a descendant of the Moore family."Shirley's fingers trembled slightly.Even though she had suspected it,
Mr. Billionaire's Contract Wife Chapter 193 Met Her Grandma
Anna saw Shirley's expression change drastically, and she quickly reached out and grabbed Shirley's hand, saying urgently, "Shirley, you promised me! No matter what you hear, don't get upset! You're still carrying a baby!"Shirley instantly snapped back to reality, touching her stomach. "I understand. I'm fine."No wonder Anna wouldn't tell the truth no matter how much she asked.Because the truth was just too hurtful...She had been abandoned even before she was born...Heh, was this her fate?Abandoned by her own grandmother before she was even born.Thrown into a harsh environment at birth, nearly dying here several times.After growing up, abandoned by her first love, abandoned by her childhood best friend...Now, her husband was about to leave her too...Was she just destined to be abandoned?Shirley, despite casting her eyes down, had tears welling up.Tina silently sat beside her, gripping Shirley's hand, and said, "You're not abandoned by everyone! Look, I'm right here with yo
Mr. Billionaire's Contract Wife Chapter 194 He Is Dead
The next second, a tall and elegant figure emerged slowly from behind the screen.Dressed in luxurious clothes, with extraordinary demeanor, every movement exuded grace and poise.The amber eyes contained a respectful smile."Mr. Rupert, are you satisfied?" Old Mrs. Moore didn't even lift her head, picked up the teacup on the table, lightly blew the tea leaves, and gently said, "But does doing this really have any meaning?"If Shirley, Camille, and Tina were here, they would surely be astonished!Because when Rupert got off the plane, he said he had something very important to attend to temporarily.But who would have thought that the place he came to would be here?And the person he met would actually be Old Mrs. Moore.Rupert smiled softly, "This is our agreement, isn't it?"Old Mrs. Moore set down her teacup and said gently, "Of course, we remember the agreement between the Moore and Davis families. But are you really sure about marrying Shirley? You heard her earlier, she doesn't
Mr. Billionaire's Contract Wife Chapter 195 Who Paid For it
"Where is he now?" Shirley asked, "Now that my uncle's family is ruined, my cousin is not around, my stepmother is in custody, and my grandmother is on the run, I want to claim my father's body."The police officer said, "He's currently in the morgue's cold storage. He'll be cremated after the case is solved."Shirley nodded sadly.Although Robert Wright had never been particularly affectionate to her, he had still provided her with shelter.Consider this the final act of filial piety."By the way, if my grandmother is caught, will she be sentenced?" Shirley asked.The police officer closed his notebook, smiling somewhat formulaically.It's just because of Shirley's special status that he had to answer this question, "It will depend on the circumstances of the case. Whether it's intentional or negligent homicide, there will be a sentence. Even though the deceased was her son, she still has to bear legal responsibility."Shirley's breath caught.Yes, no matter the reason, Robert Wright
Mr. Billionaire's Contract Wife Chapter 196 Cut Off Shirley's Options
When Shirley walked into the room, Camille immediately turned to Tina and said, "Why do I feel like something's not quite right?"Tina nodded, "I feel the same way. Something seems off.""No wonder my brother insisted I come along," Camille sighed. "Looks like trouble's brewing."Tina gave Camille a side-eye, "Finally admitting you're here on your brother's orders!""Even if my brother didn't send me, I would've come," Camille said knowingly, giving Tina a meaningful look. "After all, relying on a woman who's been through a breakup to take care of a pregnant woman, that's just not reliable!"Tina glared, "When did I go through a breakup? I didn't! I've never even been in love, how could I have gone through a breakup?"Camille just smiled without saying anything.Tina was about to argue further when Camille nodded toward Shirley's room and said, "The walls in here aren't soundproof."Tina immediately fell silent.Camille chewed her lip, "How did Old Mrs. Moore suddenly show up here? An
Mr. Billionaire's Contract Wife Chapter 197 Cruise Party
Shirley woke up from a nap, only to find that it was already evening.Rubbing her sleepy eyes, she stumbled out of her room to see everyone bustling around in the kitchen."Did we wake you?" Tina emerged from the kitchen with a plate of freshly fried pork, saying, "Hurry up, wash your hands, dinner's almost ready.""Huh? Okay." Shirley, still half asleep, took a few steps before snapping out of it. "Why's everyone so excited?"Camille came out of the kitchen with a plate of food. "You were sleeping so soundly, we didn't want to disturb you. Herman said his company's throwing a cruise party, and family members are invited."A cruise party...Shirley looked at them skeptically. "Even if it's for family, why are you guys so thrilled? You've been to plenty of parties before, and cruises aren't exactly new to you. What's so exciting about this?""No, no, no!" Both of them chimed in unison. "You don't get it? Those other parties were all about champagne, fine wines, and good-looking people.
Mr. Billionaire's Contract Wife Chapter 198 The Mysterious Captain
Shirley couldn't help but be curious and opened the box.She looked down and saw a set of white beach long skirt lying quietly in the box.Tina exclaimed, "Wow! The captain is really generous! This skirt is known as the work of the designer hailed as the Hand of God! Only one design is released each year!""So precious?" Shirley couldn't help but reach out and pick up the skirt, comparing it to herself, and asked Tina, "Can I accept this dress?""You've already signed for it, so why not accept it? Come on, try it on! Anything made by the Hand of God is exceptional." Tina said earnestly. "Don't think LV or Hermès are high-end; they're just mass-market goods. The taste of aristocrats' clothing isn't represented by those brands at all."Shirley nodded in agreement.All of Keith's clothes were custom-made. Even a pair of socks or gloves was custom-made.However, he had recently been wearing the blue shirt she had unintentionally chosen for him quite often. He even broke his rule of wearin
Mr. Billionaire's Contract Wife Chapter 199 Masquerade Ball
Shirley may have seemed gentle on the surface, but that didn't mean she lacked determination.Tina and Camille smiled simultaneously.Shirley continued, "If the other party is seeking Keith or Rupert's favor, sorry, I can't help. If it's about the goodwill gesture from earlier, please retract it. We just want to enjoy a vacation like regular people. If the captain has other motives or requests, please be straightforward."The chef's expression stiffened slightly.Stiffened, not changed.Faced with Shirley's accusation, he dared not change his expression.Tina and Camille understood instantly."Alright, you can go now. Don't linger around us three," Shirley said, her brows furrowing slightly, her tone chilly.The chef didn't dare utter a word, quietly turning and leaving.After dismissing the chef, no one else came over to offer anything to Shirley. She happily indulged in plenty of delicious food.When they finished eating, the three of them noticed Anna and Herman were missing. They

Keith returned the Moore family, which he had previously acquired, back to them intact. He signed an agreement with Old Mrs. Moore, stating that the Nelson Family Group would annually provide free financial support to all industries under the Moore family and their research institute in Indonesia.At the same time, Keith ramped up collaboration with the Davis Family Group to compensate for the assistance and sacrifices their ancestors had made for the Moore family.Finally, Old Mrs. Moore let go of her prejudices and the so-called ancestral rule, stopped forcing Shirley to marry Rupert, and accepted Keith as her grandson-in-law.Keith, full of vigor, led Shirley back to the room, eager to explain everything to her.But before Keith could speak, Shirley's face suddenly turned pale, and she collapsed against Keith.Keith's words were swallowed up instantly."Shirley, what's wrong?" Keith scooped Shirley up and rushed out. "Doctor, nurse!""Keith, my stomach hurts. It hurts so much," Shi
Mr. Billionaire's Contract Wife Chapter 282 Lillian's Outcome
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
Mr. Billionaire's Contract Wife Chapter 281 Lillian's Story
Shirley saw the flowers Simon had sent her blooming beautifully, and her mind wandered to the scene of Susan meeting Simon.Then, Shirley couldn't help but sigh.These days, Simon had been quite active in this circle, reminding everyone of Mr. Simon's presence.Hopefully, he could recover smoothly from Susan's death blow soon.Lost in thought, Shirley heard the doorbell ring.Naturally, someone went to open it, while Shirley stayed put.Lately, she noticed she was becoming lazier—moving only when necessary.Soon, Janet came over with a box, smiling as she said to Shirley, "This is from the Smith family, probably more flowers from Mr. Simon."These days, Simon had been sending over many flowers from his greenhouse.Thankfully, they had a dedicated gardener to tend to them, and a large enough greenhouse to store them. Otherwise, there wouldn't be enough space for all these flowers.You see, even a random potted flower would cost tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars!These were all S
Mr. Billionaire's Contract Wife Chapter 280 Our Deal Was Over
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
Mr. Billionaire's Contract Wife Chapter 279 He Was A Devil
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
Mr. Billionaire's Contract Wife Chapter 278 Her Secret Was Exposed
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
Mr. Billionaire's Contract Wife Chapter 277 What a drama!
Lillian's words caused the expressions of those around her to subtly change towards Albert.Many people present knew of Albert's background.Despite various disdain towards Mr. Albert, he was still connected to the Nelson family, an entity not to be crossed.Even if Lillian did not like Albert, she dared not openly confront him.Evan, grinning, approached Shirley, "Oh oh, your second brother was hit, as his sister-in-law, are you really going to remain indifferent?""Let's put aside the question of whether I am his sister-in-law, as the host of today's banquet, are you truly going to stay indifferent in the face of such a drama?" Shirley countered Evan.As Evan hesitated about whether to help, a commotion erupted at the entrance.Shirley followed the crowd's gaze. At the villa's entrance, a Rolls-Royce spun elegantly and parked perfectly.A group of well-trained bodyguards formed two rows, the car door opened, and an impeccably dressed figure leisurely got out.Shirley was speechless
Mr. Billionaire's Contract Wife Chapter 276 Lillian and Albert Fall Out
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.
Mr. Billionaire's Contract Wife Chapter 275 Why Is She Here
Mr. Flores suddenly looked up at the person handing him the pen. When he saw the face clearly, his fingers trembled, almost throwing the pen away!This was...one of Keith's assistants.Keith had many assistants—some were public, like Tony and Jim. Of course, there were also some who worked discreetly, like the current assistant in front of him.As a member of the board of directors, Mr. Flores had seen this assistant a few times.This assistant was a formidable figure with blood on his hands. Did his presence mean that Keith already knew everything?Mr. Flores felt like a fish in hot oil, suffering repeatedly.Mr. Flores had an unprecedented sense of regret.He had always thought he was watertight, but little did he know that Keith had long grasped his weaknesses.The assistant gestured for Mr. Flores to look at the document in his hands.His gaze fell, and when he understood the contents, his eyes became increasingly sinister!The assignee of this document was not Lillian, but Keith!
