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
Mr. Billionaire's Contract Wife Chapter 200 Special Way To Meet Her
"Captain, you are quite the joker. Even though you know it's a joke, it still brings a pleasant feeling. But I'm afraid you'll be disappointed, trying to get something from me. Because I can't afford it," Shirley said calmly. "If you're trying to get close to Keith or someone else through me, I advise you to stop. Because I'm just a nominal president's wife.""Who said I wanted to start with you to get close to Keith?" The captain suddenly chuckled lightly.Even though he wore a mask, his charm was still radiating without any omission."I told you, I'm only interested in you," the captain said, lowering his head as if to kiss Shirley.Shirley saw that he really wanted to kiss her and suddenly felt a panic, turning her face away.His kiss could only land on Shirley's cheek."Oh? Do you think I'm not handsome enough? Or not elegant enough? Or, blame it on me not being wealthy enough?" The captain's words became increasingly suppressed."You've misunderstood," Shirley said, looking down.
Mr. Billionaire's Contract Wife Chapter 201 Captain's Invite
Shirley heard the commotion behind her and turned to see several people from the upper deck slowly walking towards them."Huh? Aren't those the first mate and the second mate from this ship?" Camille couldn't help but say, "How come they're coming over here?"Tina also couldn't help but be curious, "They are indeed handsome! Everyone on this ship, even the sailors, are good-looking. I wonder what the captain of this ship looks like."Shirley internally scoffed: That weird captain is naturally peak handsome, his personal charm can definitely rival Keith's. It's just his hobbies are so strange, not liking tall, leggy, busty women, but instead, he likes to provoke pregnant women!As the first mate and the second mate approached, the people fishing stopped their actions and turned to look at them.The first mate and the second mate, however, smiled and walked up to Shirley, bowing to her and saying, "Miss Shirley, the captain apologizes for what happened just now, so he'd like to invite y
Mr. Billionaire's Contract Wife Chapter 202 It's Just a Deal
Shirley's body tensed up!Who was this?How did he know the whereabouts of her grandmother?Didn't the police fail to find her grandmother?And how would he know that she had been asking about her grandmother's whereabouts?Wait a minute, if he knew who it was, he must have also found out about what happened at her home.It wouldn't be surprising if they knew that Robert Wright died at her grandmother's hands.Shirley hesitated for a moment. Even if they were trying to deceive her, she had to find out the truth.She really wanted to know where her grandmother had gone.At her age, where could she have escaped to?But why couldn't the authorities find her?There was only one possibility, she had been hidden by someone!Shirley quickly replied to the message: Where?"Look up. Come to the top deck." The message came back promptly.Shirley was taken aback. Just as she was about to tell Camille and the others, another message arrived: Come alone. Don't let anyone know.Shirley gritted her
Mr. Billionaire's Contract Wife Chapter 203 The Eerie Sense of Familiarity
Shirley looked up in alarm, but only had time to feel the man's breath suddenly hitting her face.Her cheeks flushed as the unintentional ice cream smear on her cheek was already licked clean by him."Wow, so sweet," a rich voice sounded softly in Shirley's ear.Shirley's cheeks instantly turned crimson.She didn't know if he was referring to the sweet ice cream or her cheeks...Shirley felt her mind go blank, not knowing what to do at all.She had never encountered anything like this before!Never!Even with Keith, he had never been so forward with her!But this ambiguous situation now, it was indeed the first time she had encountered it!Finally, Shirley's eyes met the gaze of the other person.What a gaze it was!Full of allure, tenderness, indulgence, dominance...This gaze was so full of ultimate attractiveness that Shirley forgot to look away.But why did that eerie sense of familiarity sweep over her heart again?Shirley swallowed hard, trying to hide her embarrassment.The dis
Mr. Billionaire's Contract Wife Chapter 204 Where Did Keith Go
The three lying on the deck chairs all sat up and turned around, only to see two figures hurrying towards them from afar.The leader was none other than Lillian!How did she get here?Shirley frowned. This was an internal event of Herman Company. What was her identity here? How did Lillian know she was on the boat?Following behind Lillian was none other than Stanford, who had always supported Lillian.Tina didn't expect Stanford to follow along. She immediately muttered a curse under her breath, straightened up, and turned to leave. But Stanford blocked her path, forcing her to face him."Sorry, this isn't the office, so please step aside," Tina's voice turned frosty. "We've said everything that needs to be said. Please don't stop me."With a hint of weariness on his face, Stanford sighed as he saw Tina's anger. "Tina, we need to talk. Things aren't as you think.""No need," Tina said icily. "I don't want to talk, and I don't want to see you.""But I want to talk," Stanford insisted,

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

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.

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.
