Shirley turned around in surprise. At this moment, there was someone else here, just like her, giving up the chance to flatter wealthy individuals and taking a stroll here?

In front of her stood an extremely tall and sturdy figure, an ultimately handsome man with amber eyes.

He was a completely different type from Keith. His temperament was gentler.

It was strange; why did this man seem a bit familiar?

"Susan... Oh no, it's you?" The man also seemed a bit incredulous as he looked at Shirley, with a hint of surprised delight in his amber eyes.

Shirley's eyes rolled for a while, but she couldn't recall where she had seen this man.

It didn't make sense. Everyone attending this event was wealthy, and besides Keith, she didn't know anyone, right?

Shirley asked uncertainly, "Excuse me, do you know me?"

Upon hearing Shirley's words, the man first showed a clear moment of surprise, then lightly chuckled.

Interesting! Among the women he had encountered, whether they knew him or not, they would

    "Janet, where's Keith?" Shirley looked around the first floor and casually asked."Young Master went to the study. Madam, Young Master instructed me to prepare a late-night snack. Would you like to have some too?" Janet asked very respectfully.Late-night snack? Could it be that he didn't eat anything tonight? Shirley thought for a moment; he seemed busy all evening, dealing with one group after another.Well, considering he took the initiative to cover her with his coat, she would prepare a late-night snack for him as a thank-you gesture.Shirley said, "I'll check the kitchen; I'm a bit hungry too. I'll make something and bring it to him."Hearing that Shirley wanted to make a late-night snack for Keith, Janet's eyes flashed with satisfaction.Shirley changed her clothes first, tied up her hair with a large clip, and then went to the kitchen to toast some bread. She also prepared a plate of vegetables, milk, and some fruits. Simple and nutritious.Carrying the late-night snack, Shirl

Shirley was already accustomed to this gesture. If she didn't timely take hold of his arm when Keith flexed it, he would get angry! So, Shirley obediently took hold of his arm and promised to be obedient.Seeing Shirley being so well-behaved, Keith was satisfied and led her inside."Mr. and Mrs. Nelson." The butler greeted them at the door. "Old Mrs. Nelson has prepared lunch. She said Mrs. Nelson didn't have breakfast, so the lunch is light. If Mrs. Nelson has any special requests, please let us know.""No need, light is fine," Shirley didn't dare to assert her identity in front of the butler of the Nelson family, although she was pregnant wi

    In the evening, Shirley was struggling to memorize Italian sentences when suddenly a big hand snatched the book from her hands and tossed it aside.Keith looked directly at Shirley, "Who taught you pronunciation? The person who taught you must have terrible pronunciation! Come, follow me, and let's correct your pronunciation."Shirley was stunned. What was he trying to do? Was he going to teach her Italian? Oh no, it was too late for last-minute cramming!As long as he agreed, she wouldn't have to speak, right?Immediately, Keith began conversing with Shirley using standard Italian.Wait, what did he just say? Hey, speak slower! She doesn't understand!Seeing Shirley looking at him with a confused expression again, Keith had the urge to reach out and pinch her face."I said I'm going to teach you Italian so that you won't embarrass me," Keith said, sitting next to Shirley. His tall figure approached her, emitting a strong masculine aura that overwhelmed all of Shirley's senses.Shirle

    Time flew by, and it was already the weekend.Today was the day to welcome the boss and his wife from Italy.Early in the morning, the house was bustling with activity.It was only Shirley who was bustling around. Everyone else was calmly going about their tasks."Don't rush, Madam. Take your time with breakfast, there's still time," Janet said as she brought over a freshly heated glass of milk and quickly removed the exquisite silverware in front of Shirley."Madam, don't move around. Your nails will get ruined." The manicurist kneeling nearby repeatedly urged Shirley."Oh, it's so troublesome. Can't I just skip the manicure?" Shirley couldn't help but complain. If Keith hadn't mentioned going to welcome them today, she would have thought it was tomorrow."No, your nails are meant to match today's jewelry," the manicurist quickly replied. "Such beautiful jewelry, I've never seen anything like it before! Madam, you're truly lucky!"Shirley felt like she was going to cough up blood.If

    Keith promptly said, "Let's not stand here chatting. Shall we go downstairs and take a rest?""Okay." The Chairman reached out to hold his wife's hand, and they walked down together.Keith signaled to Shirley, and she quickly followed, imitating the Chairman and his wife, and taking the initiative to place her small hand into Keith's.Keith was very pleased with Shirley's initiative, and he walked slowly while holding her hand.In the reception room, coffee was promptly served.Shirley listened to Keith happily chatting with the Chairman, and she could only sit there with a smiling face, pretending to listen attentively.The Chairman's wife noticed Shirley's lack of interest and immediately asked, "Mrs. Keith, what do you usually do in your spare time?"Hobbies? How could she have time for hobbies? She was busy all the time.Before, when she was working, she was always on the job day and night.But now she couldn't say such things. She couldn't mess up Keith's matters.So Shirley smil

    At this moment, the Chairman and his wife approached. Shirley couldn't push Keith away, so she could only nudge his lower abdomen with her elbow, forcing him to move away a bit. Otherwise, she couldn't guarantee that she would remain calm when the Chairman and his wife came over.Keith had already anticipated that Shirley would become angry and embarrassed, so the instant Shirley moved, he abruptly stood upright.Although Shirley missed her target, she completely broke free from Keith's restraint, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.Keith walked towards the Chairman and his wife, saying, "It seems like Shirley has prepared everything. We can start dining soon.""The Nelson Family Group's strength is indeed well-deserved." The Chairman nodded in satisfaction. "Even in just a staff restaurant, it looks so luxurious and elegant."

    After the Chairman and his wife left, the large dining hall, which was hundreds of square meters, was now only occupied by the three of them.Keith pushed Rose away, his gaze dark. "What's wrong with you? Milan isn't attractive enough for you? Are you willing to come back?"Rose suddenly lunged forward, wanting to embrace Keith, but he ruthlessly pushed her away."Keith, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong! I don't want to go to Milan, I don't want to be a model anymore, I want to marry you, I want to have your children..." Rose stared at Keith's face obsessively, speaking incoherently, "Shirley was just a gift I gave you. How could you marry a gift and ignore the person who gave it to you? Keith, I'm back, I'm back by your side, that gift can leave now."Gift? Shirley's eyes widened.What is going on?Shirley's disbelieving gaze instantly turned to Rose.Rose completely disregarded Shirley's gaze and continued pleading with Keith, "Keith, I really love you.

    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

    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.

    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!
