Shirley dared not move, afraid that if Monica got any more agitated, she would actually go for her face.It wouldn't matter if she scratched her own face, what she feared was that Monica would harm her child!"So, you deliberately had your maid bring me here, then tried to frame me? Have you thought about it? If you mar my face, how will you explain it to your family? I'm after all a guest of the Smith family, if you treat me like this, how will you explain it to the Nelson family?" Shirley forced herself to calm down and pressed on, "If Simon found out that you caused my injuries, how do you think he would view you? Just calm down, let's talk this out.""Cut the act! Do you think I'm not prepared?" Monica suddenly slapped herself hard on the face.It was a really harsh slap.The five-finger mark was clearly visible!"I defended myself because you drugged and hit me, that's why I retaliated in panic and grabbed the fruit knife on the table, slashing your face!" Monica looked menacingl
Just as Monica was about to lose her temper, Shirley quickly said, "Acting! Hurry!"Monica immediately realized what was happening and exclaimed, "What are you doing?"Shirley immediately raised her voice, pointing at Monica and scolding harshly, "You've been against me several times since I arrived today, Monica, what's your intention? Are you deliberately against me? Women who dare to oppose me never end well!"Monica cooperatively fell to the ground, crying incessantly.Sure enough, the next moment, the door was suddenly thrown open, and Simon rushed in.As soon as Simon entered, he saw the scene.Shirley raised her hand and hit Monica, leaving clear five-finger marks on her face.Monica lay on the ground, crying incessantly.Shirley kept shouting, "What kind of miss are you? You're just a daughter adopted by the Smith family. What qualifications do you have to compare yourself with me?"Monica's face darkened slightly, but she knew that even if Shirley's words struck a nerve, she
Shirley turned to leave, but Simon's voice came from behind, "You're going the wrong way! If you keep walking forward, you'll reach the back door."Shirley stopped in her tracks.Simon caught up to Shirley and without a word, helped her put on the clothes again, "I sincerely apologize for what happened just now! I promise it won't happen again! However, I have to say that things between Monica and me are really not what you think."Shirley gave Simon a cold look and said indifferently, "Whatever kind of siblings you two are, it has nothing to do with me. All I know is that I went through a lot today! Simon, if something happens to me at the Smith family, will the Smith family continue to cover up for Monica?""How could they?" Simon instinctively refuted."How will the Smith family handle today's situation then?" Shirley asked, looking up at Simon.Simon's expression faltered. As long as it didn't escalate too much, there wouldn't be any substantial punishment for Monica...Shirley su
Just then, Keith's phone finally rang. Without waiting for a second ring, Shirley answered the call, "Hello, Keith, where are you?""I just arrived. Where are you now?" Keith's voice was low."Keith, I... I..." Shirley suddenly felt so wronged, that her voice choked up instantly.With Shirley's crying, Keith on the other end of the line got anxious, "What's wrong? Have you been wronged? Tell me your location, I'll come find you!""I'm at..." Shirley looked around blankly, not knowing where she was.Seeing Shirley's tearful eyes, Simon, who was previously intimate with Shirley, was shocked and immediately released her, creating distance.Simon gave Shirley a deep look before turning around unsteadily and walking away.Shirley was holding the phone, feeling upset, and blurted out tearfully, "Keith, take me home, okay?""Sure, I'll be right over!" Keith didn't dare hang up the phone and immediately started searching everywhere for Shirley.Finally, in the backyard, he found Shirley sitti
In the days that followed, Shirley was always a homebody.She turned down all invitations, using the excuse of feeling unwell.However, Shirley did hear from her assistant Alan that Monica's situation didn't seem too great lately!Keith prepared a long list of blind dates and had people accompany Monica to at least three, and sometimes even six dates a day.Monica didn't dare say no!She had to endure it even if she didn't like it!Doesn't Monica like her brother?Then let her not see Simon every day!Under the guise of a company collaboration, Keith sent Simon thousands of miles away, and he wouldn't be back anytime soon.As for why Simon was cooperating... well, only he knew.Maybe he was also a little afraid to face Shirley?On this day, after a long absence, the big snow finally started falling.With the snow, the air instantly became much fresher.Shirley's belly also started to feel firmer.While Shirley was comfortably lying on a lounge, enjoying the warm floor heating, eating
Inside the box were several pots of flowers that Simon had sent to her when she visited the Smith family that day but hadn't had the chance to take.Looking at the flowers in the box, Shirley suddenly didn't know what to say.Janet was surprised and exclaimed, "Wow, these flowers have been taken care of so well."Shirley also noticed this.It was well-known that Shirley liked orchids.Shirley gently touched the plant, head bowed in silence.Simon gave her this pot of flowers, probably expressing another kind of emotion to her.Is he trying to see Susan through her?Simon, are you so devoted to my sister, is it worth it?Looking at this potted flower, Shirley is reminded of Rupert.During this time, Rupert was busy as a bee, Camille quickly returned to City F after attending the banquet to help Rupert with company matters.Apart from sending a few letters to himself on time, there was no more news.It seems like everyone is busy now."These flowers should be displayed." Shirley said so
"Mr. Keith, Mrs. Keith. She was pregnant, however, due to her body being in a deficit state for a long time, her blood deficiencies are very serious, and this child is not very stable." The doctor pondered for a moment, then continued, "Moreover, the pregnant woman has a somewhat unique constitution. I just inquired about the blood types of the pregnant woman and the child's father, one is AB and the other is type O."A trace of unease passed through Shirley's heart. "And then?""The probability of producing a hemolytic baby is very high," the doctor furrowed his brow and continued, "and based on the current test results, this possibility is very likely."Shirley's face suddenly turned pale, her body swayed, and she leaned against Keith's body all of a sudden.Keith quickly held Shirley, comforting her continuously, and said to the doctor, "Finish telling us everything."Feeling Keith's substantial killing intent, the doctor couldn't help but shiver a bit and quickly said, "Our equipm
Keith stared at Shirley, almost squeezing out these words from between his teeth, "It's really for you!"Shirley breathed a sigh of relief. "It's okay if it's for me, as long as it's not for my mom! I can handle it!""Do you want to let Mom chat with the Moore family for a moment?" Keith's voice was dry. "Maybe after they meet, many things will become clear."Shirley looked at Keith skeptically. "What do you mean?""Maybe I know why your mom has been feeling weak. Because, Robert Wright and her, are not meant to have children. Robert Wright is just a coincidence, but your mom is necessary." Keith's eyes became more complicated.Shirley's uneasy feeling grew stronger.What exactly has been kept from her?Shirley looked at Keith with an uneasy expression. "What does that mean?"Suddenly, Keith reached out and hugged Shirley tightly.Shirley was startled!"Keith, just tell me!" Shirley asked urgently.Keith took a deep breath and said, "Shirley... we're husband and wife now, it's best to
