Keith suddenly turned around, his eyes narrowing slightly, releasing his imposing aura.Betty's steps came to a halt, and she didn't dare to take another step forward!"Broth... Brother-in-law..." Betty timidly spoke up, her eyes shifting, cautiously taking a step forward, "Brother-in-law, why are you alone here?"Keith glanced at Betty's face with an expressionless look before turning away.He had seen that kind of look in her eyes too many times. This woman didn't have the qualifications to deserve his answer.Seeing Keith completely ignore her and walk away, Betty clenched her teeth.Hmph, what's so great about him?! He's just good-looking and rich...Damn it, damn it!Watching Keith's handsome figure, ripples of frustration grew deeper in Betty's heart."Brother-in-law, where are you going? Wait for me!" Betty bit her lip, and coquettishly called out, "Brother-in-law, last time you didn't have a proper tour before leaving, let me take you around?"Before Betty could get closer, a
"Besides, it's been more than ten years! Can the four hundred thousand dollars from over ten years ago be the same as the four hundred thousand now?" Aunt Wright deliberately put on a sad expression and said, "Back then, our entire Wright family went bankrupt in order to treat your father's illness! We couldn't even gather enough money for Betty's college tuition...""Aunt, Betty is only a hundred points away from the cut-off score for a specialized secondary school, right?" Shirley couldn't help but expose Aunt Wright's lies.She really dares to say it! Considering Betty's grades, she barely managed to get a high school diploma by spending money! Keith couldn't help but laugh lightly. That smile was like the winter fading away and the spring breeze brushing one's face.Although Aunt Wright was already in her forties, she was still stunned when she saw Keith's smile!"It seems that Aunt is not satisfied with the amount of money." Keith finally spoke, tapping the back of the chair wi
"How do we get revenge?" Shirley suddenly turned her head, but unbeknownst to her, Keith had lowered his body and leaned against her back. As she turned her head, their noses almost collided.Shirley was immediately met with a pair of deep, starry eyes. She didn't expect that at such a close distance, Keith's features would be flawless and impeccable.Keith also didn't expect that Shirley would suddenly turn her head, caught off guard, his gaze fell on Shirley's eyes filled with longing and anticipation.Those twinkling eyes lightly touched Keith's heartstrings.A thought popped up in his mind: he couldn't let her down!Shirley saw this enlarged handsome face right in front of her eyes and her body froze, not daring to move. She did not doubt that if she just leaned forward slightly, she would be able to kiss his lips.The proximity was too ambiguous... their breathing could be heard so clearly...Keith restrained himself and didn't instinctively lean in to kiss those glossy red lips.
Seeing Keith and Shirley's interaction, the fury in Betty's heart surged up! She increasingly felt that Shirley was in her way. If only Shirley weren't here, could she replace Shirley by Keith's side?"Alright, I also have some questions for Grandma." Shirley felt more and more oppressed and tired in this family.She had to take her mother and leave this place!Now that Uncle and Aunt's debt had been repaid, her parents no longer needed to stay in the countryside, using the excuse of repaying the debt!Grandma Wright heard Shirley's reply and smiled contentedly. Hmph, this little girl dares to compete with me? Even if she's married, she still has to repay the money she owes!Shirley glanced at her mother, giving her a reassuring expression, then pulled out a chair and followed Grandma to her room.Shirley rarely came to Grandma's room. There was no other reason, she wasn't liked, so naturally, she wouldn't be called to come. Compared to Betty, Shirley had visited this room very few ti
"Dad, is there something wrong?" Shirley asked proactively."Shirley... are you guys going into town later?" Mr. Wright cautiously asked."Yes." Shirley answered, "We brought so many people, there's no room for them at home! So we'll be staying at a hotel in the county tonight.""Can you give me a ride too?" Mr. Wright's eyes lit up, full of anticipation. "At this hour, the buses to the county have already stopped running, you see..."Shirley immediately smiled, "Of course! Dad, let Mom know, you all can go to the county with us. I want to buy you some clothes!"Upon hearing that Shirley was willing to buy him clothes, Mr. Wright grinned happily, rubbing his hands together, "Great! Shirley, you're filial, Daddy is very happy!"Despite Grandma mistreating her mom, her dad always stood by and did nothing. But after all, he was her adoptive father!Shirley smiled and said, "Go tell Mom and prepare. We'll leave soon!""Okay, okay!" Mr. Wright left immediately, beaming with joy.Keith's ga
Shirley didn't even bother to wash her hands. She scanned the area and immediately sat down at a vacant seat nearby.From this position, she could hear the conversation that was hidden by the partition!At this moment, Mr. Wright seemed to smile and said, "I've never had my own child in my whole life, it's quite regrettable. That's why I want to have my own child!""Then why did you get divorced?" the woman asked, pressing further. "Was it because your ex-spouse couldn't have children?""Yes," Mr. Wright replied decisively!Divorce?!Shirley's heart suddenly felt constricted.What did she just hear?She heard her dad going on a blind date here?And her dad even told the other person that he's already divorced!He also said that not having a child in his whole life is his regret!Why?Dad, why? Why did you betray Mom?Mom has sacrificed so much for the Wright family, why did you betray her? Didn't you say that having me as your daughter in this lifetime is enough?A wave of desolation
Shirley returned to her room and saw Keith on the phone.Seeing Shirley returning, Keith made a gesture for her to wait and continued his call.After finishing his call, Keith said to Shirley, "Do you need me to accompany you?"Shirley was originally going to shake her head, but she inexplicably nodded.At this moment, she didn't even have someone to discuss ideas with.Although she and Keith were only contractually married, since he was willing to offer help, she shouldn't refuse, right?Otherwise, she would truly have no one to discuss things with..."Your father just finished meeting with one woman, and he's preparing for the next one. The address is at TW Cafe." Keith's voice was calm, devoid of any emotion. "The appointment is in half an hour."Shirley's heart sank suddenly! What does Dad want to do? Weren't they getting along well just now? Why does he need to meet again and again...No, no matter how many women he meets, the nature of it is the same.Dad, why is this?Shirley n
"To be honest, I do need a child to inherit my family business." Mr. Wright thought for a moment. He was really satisfied with the woman he met today and decided to tell the truth, "I've saved some money over the years, although not much, tens of thousands are still there."Upon hearing that Mr. Wright had tens of thousands in his hands, the woman's expression instantly became much more pleasant.Shirley, who was eavesdropping, had an extremely unpleasant expression on her face!Dad actually managed to save tens of thousands!And she didn't know anything about it!When did Dad save the money?If he had money, why didn't he repay Uncle and Aunt's debt?No, that wasn't even considered a debt! Mom reluctantly signed the IOU so Dad could have the surgery!Dad, how could you...Shirley clenched her fists tightly, the emotions in her eyes fading away bit by bit.Could it be that all these years, Dad had been in cahoots with Grandma to torment and exploit Mom...?At the thought of this possi
