Mr. Billionaire's Contract Wife Chapter 258 A Tough Battle
"Shirley, hesitation only brings chaos," Rupert placed a bowl of soup in front of Shirley, "If you need my help, I can offer it without any conditions."Just as Shirley was about to refuse, Rupert continued, "I'm not going to use this to make you do anything for me, it's all voluntary. Even if you don't plan on reciprocating, I will still do it."Shirley hesitated, and Rupert continued, "I just want to prove that I am serious. For you, I am willing to do anything."Shirley was taken aback by Rupert's sudden declaration and looked a bit flustered."You are so outstanding and perfect, there must be a line of women who like you from here to the Atlantic Ocean, so why..." Shirley didn't dare to look into Rupert's eyes, unsure how to respond."So what? They may like me, but they are not you. I only want you," Rupert said with a faint smile, "If I don't have the fortune to walk with you in this life, I probably won't get married."Shirley looked at Rupert in astonishment and frowned, saying
Mr. Billionaire's Contract Wife Chapter 259 The Argument
Upon hearing this voice, Shirley's body froze instantly!Keith... how could he be at the airport? Wasn't he supposed to be in Africa now? Shirley abruptly turned around and saw a Keith filled with anger and dust.Tony nervously greeted, "Madam."Shirley nodded as a form of acknowledgment, her eyes fixed on Keith.What did that statement mean?Did he even understand what he was saying?Was she such a person in his eyes?Or did he always see her as despicable?Shirley said to Rupert, "I'm sorry for troubling you this evening, Mr. Rupert, having you personally escort me so late. Now that my husband is here, I can go back with him."This was a family matter, no need for outsiders to meddle.After a brief contemplation, Rupert nodded.Seeing Shirley defend Rupert, Keith's anger surged.In the days he was in Africa, he had been thinking about her like crazy. But the moment he wasn't home, she couldn't stand the loneliness?Went to City F to find Rupert? And kept it from everyone?Keith took
Mr. Billionaire's Contract Wife Chapter 260 His Scandal
Shirley paused for a moment, then averted her gaze, "I'm not as despicable as you think. I've never liked Rupert."Keith's eyes flickered with a hint of joy at Shirley's last words, but it quickly disappeared."I didn't discuss it with you because this issue has no solution. Even if I did, you wouldn't be able to solve this deadlock either. I've been to the secret realm of the Moore family, it's a place where outsiders can't step foot. Only the DNA recorded by the Moore family can open the door to the Moore family's secret realm. Do you think acquiring the Moore family will allow you to open that door? No, you can't. My adoptive mother only has three months left to live, maybe even less than three months. The longer it takes, the more her body will deteriorate. Maybe she won't even live long enough for my child to be born." Shirley gently closed her eyes."What can you do by acquiring the Moore family? You probably don't know, do you? The foundation of the Moore family is no longer in

The butler went to check and informed Shirley, "It's Miss Tina."Tina?Why was she here?Shirley suddenly realized she hadn't seen her in a long time.She had been busy overseas, unable to chat properly due to the annoying time difference.Why was she visiting today?"Quick, please let her in." Shirley touched her forehead and slowly got up.At seven months pregnant, her belly was starting to show.As the door opened, Tina breezed in with the cold air from outside."Shirley, are you okay?" Tina's first words as she entered.Shirley paled, then casually replied, "I am okay."Tina gave Shirley a serious look, as if she wanted to make sure if Shirley was lying or not before she let out a sigh of relief.As soon as Tina returned to the country, she saw the local news reporting, and upon seeing Keith fooling around outside again, Tina didn't even bother to change her clothes, she rushed over immediately.Tina's gaze fell on Shirley's belly and couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh my, the belly i
Mr. Billionaire's Contract Wife Chapter 262 Her Stocks
Keith stepped into the office, followed quickly by Tony."How's the situation?" Keith blurted out.As Keith's special assistant, Tony instantly understood the meaning behind Keith's words and promptly replied, "Everything is as you expected, sir. After the Moore family went bankrupt, they were deeply in debt, owing billions. Mrs. Keith, in order to save the Moore family, has decided to sell her stocks. As soon as she made her move, there was a reaction from the other side, with over a hundred billion in cash ready to buy up her stocks."A cold smirk formed at the corner of Keith's mouth. "And then?""We have investigated the flow of these funds as per your instructions. As you suspected, it was all Mr. Albert who sold off those properties along with the stocks of the advertising company. And upon further investigation, it turns out that the one truly pulling the strings is not Mr. Albert himself, but... Lillian. Lillian plans to use Mr. Albert's money to completely buy out Mrs. Keith'
Mr. Billionaire's Contract Wife Chapter 263 Gone, All Gone
"Keith never fights a battle without certainty, this time, Albert is truly done for," Evan continued with a smile. "The ridiculous part is, Albert thinks he's got a lucky break, made a fortune. But he had no idea that his every move was already calculated by Keith. How could the wealth of the Nelson family be easily controlled by someone with unknown origins? There's still some time left, if things go smoothly, this trap will be completely closed in an hour or two."Shirley didn't know what to say.She realized she had never truly understood Keith.His tactics seemed endless."Since we're friends now, may I curiously ask what are your plans for the future?" Evan couldn't help but ask. "I heard there's an engagement between the Moore family and the Davis Family." Shirley nodded, not avoiding the question."I understand your point," Shirley replied. "I don't want to divorce Keith. As you can see, he's the one I love, and I believe I'm the one in his heart. As for the Moore family, I'll
Mr. Billionaire's Contract Wife Chapter 264 The Producer
After dropping Shirley back at Tina's house, Keith went home, took a shower, and emerged from the bathroom, drying his hair as he asked, "What's Shirley up to now?"Tony reported, "Madam seemed to have stayed up late with Miss Tina last night, and she's still catching up on sleep."Keith's fingers paused slightly as he dried his hair, then resumed, "Got it."With his appearance neat again, Keith knocked on Evan's door and found Evan just finished showering as well.Evan shared said, "Just this morning, I received a call from Lillian. She's using her connection with Hannah to audition for a TV show I'm about to film."Keith reacted quickly, "You agreed?"Evan smirked playfully, "Why not? This came through Hannah."Keith's eyes flickered, "You did it on purpose, didn't you?""Isn't it fun?" Evan's smirk grew more mischievous, "So, how about we let Shirley join in? After all the trouble she's been through, doesn't she want to reclaim some status?"Keith chuckled.Though he, Evan, and Sta
Mr. Billionaire's Contract Wife Chapter 265 The Audition
Evan arrived in an extremely flashy bright red Maserati.Tina shook her head in dismay, saying to Shirley, "I really wonder if there is a woman in this world who can make the flashy Evan settle down.""Isn't it Hannah?" Shirley answered casually.Tina chuckled, "Forget it. Hannah? Maybe before I met her, I would believe that the playboy no longer a playboy, falling in love with an ordinary music teacher. But after meeting Hannah, I know that this woman is also blinded by worldly pursuits, thinking she's Cinderella turning into a princess. What kind of man is Evan? The first time he saw you, he was polite and did not defend Lillian just because she is Hannah's friend. Lillian has known Evan for a long time too, and Evan tilted the balance towards you, which means, in Evan's mind, it's crystal clear! Does Hannah want to capture Evan's heart? Dream on!"Lillian never expected in her wildest dreams that she would meet Shirley again, and in such a situation.One was an actress auditioning.

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.
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!
