Keith lazily leaned back on the high stool, lightly spinning the glass of red wine in his hand, seemingly satisfied as he watched the crimson liquid inside the glass. This was a vintage from an Italian winery that his assistant always carried with him. It was worth a hundred thousand dollars a bottle and was priceless. The annual production was only a thousand bottles. Only someone like Keith could casually carry such an expensive wine and use it as a stress reliever. As Keith swirled the glass, his thoughts wandered. He didn't know how Shirley's conversation with her mother went. How would she approach this situation? If she couldn't handle it, would she seek his help? Suddenly, he felt a longing. If she reached out to him, he would instantly resolve everything for her... Betty was a bit disappointed because she couldn't find Keith. She decided to try her luck at the bar. If she still couldn't find him, she would give up completely. But when she stepped inside the bar, she glanc
Perhaps God heard Shirley's prayer because, as Mrs. Wright endured punches, a sudden sound of shattered glass came from behind her!Everyone turned around simultaneously.The previously sturdy display windows and doors had been kicked in.A tall and handsome man with an imposing presence strode in, his gaze immediately focusing on Shirley.A chilling aura spread as he pursed his lips, and he coldly uttered, "Who dares to lay a hand on my woman?"Hearing this familiar voice, Shirley suddenly felt her heart at ease.He really had come!Keith was followed by a group of people who entered with a loud commotion.The women in the room were stunned by what they saw.This man... was so handsome!He seemed to have walked straight out of a painting, perfectly flawless.But in the next second, his presence became overwhelming, and everyone instinctively looked away, unable to continue watching!Keith's gaze fell upon Shirley, worry and anger clearly visible in his eyes.Mrs. Wright finally had a
"Just now, this lady suddenly rushed over, attempting to murder our president. Is that right?" Tony immediately turned his head and gave the manager a meaningful look.The manager was momentarily stunned but nodded frantically the next second, embellishing Tony's words, "Yes, yes, Miss Maggie initiated the attack and ended up injuring her arm when you defended yourselves and fought back!""Did we fight back?" Tony's voice turned cold.The manager's mind once again became quick-witted as she revised her statement, "No, no, no, she tried to attack you, but accidentally slipped and broke her arm! Mr. Keith chose not to hold her accountable, so there was no request for her to compensate for the damages!"Tony nodded very satisfactorily, "And what about the others? What did you all witness?""It was Miss Maggie who broke her own arm, it has nothing to do with any of you!" The dozen or so beauticians were scared out of their wits, tears streaming down their faces, desperately echoing, "We s
After being in a daze for a long time, Mrs. Wright suddenly choked up with helplessness. "I don't know either! Shirley, what should I do?"Keith's eyes flickered, his thoughts unreadable."Mom..." Shirley proactively hugged her mother, "No matter what decision you make, I will stand by your side! Mom protected me before, and now it's my turn to protect you!"Keith looked at his wrist and said, "It's getting late. Let's go back to the hotel for now! We can discuss any decisions tomorrow."Shirley silently nodded.Keith drove away with the two of them quickly.Not long after the three of them left, Betty rushed over, gasping for breath.Unfortunately, she arrived too late and was destined to see nothing.Betty just reached the entrance of the beauty center when she saw Keith driving away without even hearing her shouts. He went straight back.After returning to the hotel, Shirley wanted to continue staying with her mother, but Keith reached out and quickly grabbed Shirley's hand, whispe
Mrs. Wright was dumbfounded and took a while to react.At the same time, Grandma Wright's booming voice filled the yard, "You shameless thing, get out of the Wright family! You've been married into the Wright family for over twenty years, enjoying our meals, and yet you can't even give birth to a child! Now you've learned to stay out all night and sleep with other men!"Mrs. Wright was frozen in place by Grandma Wright's words.What was she saying?She had been with her daughter and son-in-law last night. Why would her mother-in-law defame her like this?Shirley and Keith in the car also heard those words.What did they mean?Shifting the blame onto her?Keith smiled sarcastically and said, "It seems this is the result of your father's discussion with your grandmother. Before your mother returns to confront them, they're preemptively shifting the blame, leaving your mother defenseless! In this situation, your mother's desire to question them has turned into defending herself. I have t
Shirley was originally going to expose Mr. Wright as the person unable to have children, but suddenly, Shirley didn't want to say it anymore!She was truly tired of the attitude of the Wright family.Even her father was no exception, so it was easy to imagine others.After Keith accompanied Shirley to the doorstep of the house, Shirley said softly, "If Mom and Dad divorce, I'll go with Mom."Grandma Wright originally wanted to say something sarcastic. She originally didn't have this granddaughter, but when she looked up and saw Keith following, she swallowed the words smoothly.Mr. Wright suddenly remembered being caught by his daughter during a blind date. Now that Anna knew about this, it must have been mentioned by their daughter!Mr. Wright had no good feelings left for the daughter who had "betrayed" him.His mind was already filled with beautiful fantasies. He was about to have his own child and let the adopted daughter go with his ex-wife!"Great!" Mr. Wright agreed right away,
"Dad..." Shirley turned to look at her adoptive father.Yes, now he can only be called her adoptive father. He had just openly cut ties with her, severing all affection!"Don't call me that, I can't bear it." Mr. Wright snorted coldly, saying, "Alright, now that we're divorced, if there's nothing else, I'll leave! Your things have been thrown out, so don't come back!"Hearing Mr. Wright's harsh words, Shirley and Mrs. Wright, no, now she should be called Anna. Both of their eyes reflected a touch of desolation.Anna turned and left without even sparing them a glance, at most just smiling at Keith."Mom, don't be afraid! Keith has already bought a house for you! We have somewhere to go." Shirley didn't want her mother to feel sad, so she quickly said, "Keith has had it cleaned today, and we can move in today."Anna was stunned and looked up at Keith, her eyes filled with gratitude.Technically, her son-in-law is an outsider.Especially since Keith is the CEO of the Nelson Family Group,
Robert found out that Shirley and Anna also came to the county and were living next door.Three days later, Robert held a grand wedding in the neighborhood. His new wife wasn't Miss Maggie nor the woman he had a blind date with that day. It was a stranger.Just to show off his remarriage, Robert made the convoy drive around the neighborhood and even honked the horn in front of Shirley's door, displaying his arrogance.Shirley turned to look at her mother, and sure enough, her mother's body suddenly stiffened!"I'm fine," Anna said, comforting Shirley even though her face was pale. "He's probably been eagerly waiting for this day. Let him be arrogant for a few days."Suddenly, Shirley remembered that the fact that her father couldn't have children seemed to have not been revealed yet...Suddenly, she also felt a bit hopeful for the future."I'm lucky to have such a caring daughter," Anna reached out and touched Shirley's hair, saying, "The sun outside is scorching, let's go inside."Sh
