"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
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
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.
Evan lazily smiled and walked over to Lillian's car.Lillian took the initiative to open the car door for Evan. Looking behind Evan, she noticed that Keith and Stanford hadn't followed, a hint of joy flickering in her eyes.Evan didn't miss the joy in Lillian's eyes, effortlessly plopping down in the passenger seat."Hannah called me earlier, and said you were mistreated during the audition?" Evan looked at Lillian with a teasing smile.Her eyes welled up, and biting her lower lip tightly, Lillian gazed sorrowfully at Evan and softly said, "I brought it on myself, can't blame anyone else, right? Shirley and Tina don't like me, that's common knowledge. Keith and Stanford are childhood friends of mine, it's understandable they dislike me. But we are just friends, their misunderstanding of me is unwarranted..."Evan watched Lillian's performance with a smirk.Oh, just a few days ago, this woman claimed to be in love with Keith, and now she's just good friends with him?That's quite a big
While Keith and Stanford enjoyed the scene of Lillian seducing Evan, Shirley and Tina, on the other hand, ran into a familiar face.But there was a difference.Lillian was full of purpose, while the person Shirley and Tina encountered was simply... a good person without ulterior motives.Tina and Shirley had just gotten out of the car, not far from where they stood, when they heard an uncertain voice from behind, "Shirley...?"Shirley suddenly stopped in her tracks and turned around gently.Under the sunlight stood a handsome and beautiful man, looking at her with an incredulous expression.After recognizing the man's face, Shirley also hesitated slightly, "Cousin Simon?"The one who called out to Shirley was none other than Mr. Simon.Tina also seemed to know Simon."Mr. Simon?" Tina was also surprised, "I heard you've been on an overseas assignment recently? Just got back today?"Simon's eyes flickered for a moment, a smile appearing instantly, "Yes, I just got back today. It's quit
Stanford didn't even notice the scene on the big screen, still distressed about Tina."After finishing this drink, go back to your home and reclaim everything that belongs to you!" Keith said. "As long as you have everything in your family, do you think your family will still oppose who you choose to be with? As long as you are strong enough, everything that belongs to you will eventually return to your side, including Tina."Although Keith didn't speak much, every word he said hit the mark.Stanford was stunned, instantly understanding Keith's message.Yes, as long as he was powerful enough, he could protect everything he wanted to protect, just like Keith.Stanford picked up the glass on the table and downed it in one gulp!Stanford gently closed his eyes and when he reopened them, his fighting spirit had returned.Watching Stanford walk away, Keith's slender fingers slowly slid over the cup's rim, raised it, and finished it in one gulp.It's about time, Lillian, let me see what you
"Her anatomy." Evan was quite straightforward and replied, "I've dated enough girlfriends, probably not a thousand, but close enough. What kind of women haven't I seen? She's lying!! She said she's in France, but my gut feeling tells me she's in Thailand! Keith, focus on investigating the small hospitals and clinics over there, maybe you'll find something."Keith was momentarily stunned but quickly caught on, "You mean... she... she went to Thailand for a sex reassignment surgery?"Lillian not being a woman??How could that be possible?They grew up together from childhood!How could he have mistaken whether Lillian was a man or a woman?Evan had known Keith for so long, and Keith always had a calm and composed demeanor, rarely showing signs of emotional turmoil.However, now being able to shock Keith a bit seemed satisfying.Keith slammed on the brakes, stopping harshly at the side of the road.Evan almost tumbled out, "Hey, why the sudden brake?!"Keith looked at Evan very seriously
To their astonishment, Lillian was being embraced by a stocky elderly man, who was getting handsy with her.Shirley and Tina exchanged looks.Lillian's taste seemed to have taken a nosedive pretty quickly.Keith's looks were difficult to surpass, so it wasn't surprising that Lillian had shifted her attention to him. Who could resist Keith's wealth, power, status, and good looks?Later, she got involved with Albert, which was somewhat understandable.Despite being a bit of a playboy, Albert had inherited good looks and physique from the Nelson family, so he was at least somewhat handsome.But how to explain this balding old man with an ugly look?With a little nudging from the man, Lillian found herself in his arms, coquettishly calling, "Mr. Flores, don't be in such a hurry! This is the dressing room! Someone will come! Wait until tonight..."As Lillian's words drifted out in fits and starts, Shirley and Tina blinked, and Tina decided not to miss this opportunity, pulling out her phon
