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
Keith, in Saudi Arabia, stared at his phone intently.It had been three days, and she hadn't sent a single message!Keith almost thought his phone was broken. How could there be no messages or calls for three days?Beside Keith was his assistant, Jim.Jim looked bewildered. His boss, Mr. Keith, had been in Saudi Arabia for three days, and whenever he had free time, he stared at his phone for a long time.Keith sighed lightly in his heart.Did she not know to take the initiative to call or message him if he didn't do it first?"Mr. Keith, is your phone broken? Would you like me to get you a new one?" Jim asked cautiously.Keith raised an eyebrow and gave a cold snort.Jim touched his nose, unsure of what he said wrong.Jim lamented in his heart. He had only been sent out by Mr. Keith for a few weeks, but why did his behavior change so drastically when he returned?Tony had been with Mr. Keith during that time. What had happened?Keith answered dejectedly, "No need. If someone calls or
"Shirley!" a familiar voice boomed from outside the door.Shirley looked up and saw Robert Wright with an assessing gaze, looking at her and the house behind her."Dad? It's your big day today. Why aren't you at home with your new bride? Do you have time to loiter around my doorstep?" Shirley couldn't help but feel nauseous when she saw Robert dressed in a brand-new suit, her tone dripping with sarcasm.Robert disregarded Shirley's sarcasm and went straight to the point. "Why are you living here? Is your mother still unwilling to accept it and wants to live next to me to win me back? Tell your mother that I've divorced her. I have no relation to her anymore! Tell her to give up on this idea and never appear in front of me again!"Listening to Robert's absurd words, Shirley almost burst into laughter.He was truly confident.Over the years, it was true that her mother had endured humiliation and carried the burden of this family primarily because she loved him. But as they say, the dee
Tony immediately stood up and said to Shirley, "Madam, let me help you inside for the check-up. We don't need to bother with such a person."Shirley silently nodded in agreement.Indeed, Tony was right, there was no need to explain anything to such a person.Although Anna's face was pale, she also straightened her back instantly.The woman Robert was supporting was probably his newlywed wife, right? However, the child inside her belly belonged to another man, right?Some things were better left unsaid and there was no need to expose them.Anna understood Shirley's meaning and ignored Robert, taking over Tony's position and supporting Shirley inside for the check-up.Although Robert knew that Tony was Keith's assistant, he was feeling quite pleased with himself at the moment! He was playing the role of a groom and a father, and with Keith not around, Robert was being very arrogant."Shirley, why haven't you gone back yet? How can a married daughter keep staying at your mom' house?" Rob
"Boss, please spare me! I will pay you back the money I owe you! This is my daughter's house! I can't lose it!" Uncle Wright pleaded, repeatedly kowtowing to the bald man."Oh... bought it for your daughter!" the bald man replied nonchalantly, saying, "Show him the declaration from earlier. It clearly states that if you refuse to sell the house, then your daughter will have to work for me for free for ten years."Uncle Wright looked up and saw the clear words written on a white paper, exactly as the bald man had said.Uncle Wright knew what the bald man was capable of, and upon hearing his words, he trembled all over!"Boss, this won't work! My daughter is still young, she can't do such things!" Uncle Wright wailed, tears streaming down his face. He wanted to rush over and hug the bald man's leg but was stopped by one of the younger men."It's not up to you anymore. Based on our past relationship, I've reminded you as well. Who can you blame if you insist on diving headfirst into this
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
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
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
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
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
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
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. 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!
