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
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
"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.
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
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
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
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,
Camille reached out and touched the scratches on her neck from Lillian's attack. Her gaze remained calm as she gently countered for Shirley, "Interesting, very interesting, Lillian. Even with your skillful twisting of words, shouldn't you still aim for fairness?""Back then, when did Shirley willingly marry Keith? Wasn't it the Nelson family forcing Shirley to marry Keith? How did it become Shirley pressuring the Nelson family in your words?""Back then, Shirley wanted to leave, to start anew and not disturb your dirty schemes. But you, Lillian, came all this way to humiliate Shirley in front of so many people, even trying to falsely accuse her! When you begged Shirley, the legal wife, to spare you, the ex-girlfriend, I happened to record it. Shall we review that moment?""You said you and Keith knew each other first, which is true. But you've been apart for six years. Does Keith have to stay unmarried and childless just because of an ex-girlfriend? Lillian, where does this confidence
