New Romance in Marriage Chapter 374 Shelly Gets Slapped
Chris looked at Rory and shook his head lightly.Rory was shocked.If five million dollars was not enough, how much would it take to sway Chris? Chris said, "Even if you hand over the entire Shepard Group to me today, I won't withdraw the lawsuit. Shelly must go to jail."He stared at the Shepards, his eyes devoid of emotion. Rory was astonished at Chris’s devotion to Paige. He could not understand why Chris remained unmoved even in the face of such benefits. As a businessman, he prioritized profit the most. If he had to swap roles with Chris today, where his wife was harmed and the other party was willing to compensate with five million dollars or even more, he would definitely accept and forgive the other party.Although Paige was harmed, it was just a false alarm.Was a false alarm, in exchange for five million dollars, not worth it?Shelly glared at Chris with resentment. She knew she could not provoke him because provoking him would be highly unfavorable to her curre
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 375 Using Shelly’s Money to Raise the Kid

"Don't mind your dad. He cares a lot about you, but he's just upset right now."Shelly nodded. "Yeah, I know.""Let's go..." May said. After that, the two of them left.… With the Shepards gone, Chris and Ann were left in the living room.Ann felt uneasy, unsure if Chris had taken Shelly's instigations seriously. She did once consider various ways to harm Paige because she did not like Paige and wanted to turn Chris against Paige.However, Chris was ready to head back upstairs without saying anything.Seeing that, Ann quickly stopped him. "Chris!"Chris stopped and turned around to look at Ann.Ann hesitated before asking, "Don't you... have anything to ask me?"Chris asked, "About what?""About what Shelly said… About me plotting against Paige.""Did you do it?""Wha

"Once Shelly and Wendy's cases are settled, make a public statement to severe ties with Wendy," Chris suggested to Paige."Can I?" Paige asked hesitantly.Chris nodded. "Yeah, you can."Concerned, Paige asked, "Won't it have a negative impact on you and the company?"Chris reassured her, "Nope.""Oh.”Chris observed Paige’s expression and raised an eyebrow. "What's up? You don’t want to?"Paige shook her head. "No... It's just..."After all, Wendy was her biological mother, and now that she was about to cut ties with her, she felt conflicted.Chris remained silent. He understood that, despite Wendy's mistreatment, she could not easily sever the ties with her own mother. After all, a natural bond existed between one and one’s mother.Although Paige disliked Wendy, especially after Wendy plotted against her own child, the thought of cutting ties with Wendy and becoming complete strangers weighed heavily on her emotions.Her feelings were complex.There was a bit of joy, hap
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 377 Justin Loses Again

Sierra believed it was something Bob should know. After learning about Wendy's arrest, Bob did not feel any joy. Whether Wendy got caught or went to jail had no bearing on him. Their divorce proceedings were nearing the end, and once they were divorced, they would be strangers. Yet, strangely enough, Wendy's arrest bothered him. It was not because he still had feelings for Wendy, but because Chris and Paige's callousness toward her weighed on him.After all, Wendy was Paige's mother, but Paige and Chris did not hesitate to call the police on her, disregarding any family bonds or dignity. In their eyes, he and Wendy were no different.Bob was
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 378 Bob Finds Out
Justin nodded with tears streaming down his face. "Grandaunt Mildred, I get it… I know, Grandaunt Mildred. I'm sorry..."In reality, Justin knew he could not avoid gambling. He believed he would eventually win. After losing so much money, he thought it was about time for luck to turn in his favor. Moreover, it was not just any gambling den; it was a high-stakes casino where he had seen people win millions in a single night.It was just a streak of bad luck.However, can someone be unlucky forever?People had their moments of good fortune.Seeing Justin in such distress, Mildred softened. She opened her safe, retrieved the property ownership papers, and handed them to Justin, saying, "Jay, these are all I have…”Taking the certificates, Justin looked at Mildred. "Grandaunt Mildred, I'm sorry… I'm so sorry..."At that point, Bob could not listen any longer. When he learned that Justin was involved in business, he suspected it was his mom who provided the capital. Concerned, he
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 379 Divorce
Bob looked at Mildred with disappointment. It was evident that between him and Justin, Mildred chose Justin. Well, she was quite the stellar mom. Just because he's capable of making money through various channels, she turned a blind eye to him. It was just unfair that Mildred showered Justin with all kinds of help because he was weaker."What nonsense are you spouting?" Wesley scolded Mildred, "You giving tens of thousands or even millions to your family is whatever. But now our son needs money, and you're giving it to an outsider?"Wesley was fuming. He regretted marrying Mildred. Even before marriage, Mildred had tendencies of overproviding for her family. However, back then, he thought that once he and Mildred got married, they would be a family, and helping out her family would be a natural thing to do.Helping when needed was what families did, but Mildred and her parents were like leeches, sucking the life out of the Quirks. When they needed help, they went to the Qu
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 380 Life in Danger
Mildred was deeply moved.Bob sneered at Justin. Anyone could say such sweet words. In fact, Justin was just saying it to please his mother, hoping for a divorce so that he could grab some cash."Mom, think about it." Bob looked straight at Mildred. "What have the Lawsons done for you over the years? Have they sacrificed anything for you? On your birthdays, have they ever given you thoughtful gifts? Did they visit you during the holidays? Yes, they say they love and respect you, but what about actions? What have they done for you?"Mildred fell into silence. She had not paid attention to those details before. Considering the Quirks' conditions were much better than the Lawsons', she did not need anything from them; she could buy whatever she wanted.Thinking it over, she realized the Lawsons had never really given her anything substantial. Sure, there were the occasional small gifts, but they were no valuable presents. Despite their decent conditions with her help, they had n

"Justin did it," Paige said, her brows furrowed in anger. "Can you believe Justin got hooked on gambling? He lost a ton of money and wanted Mildred to sell the properties to pay his debts. When Dad and Grandpa found out, they refused. Things got heated, and Dad got hurt. Grandpa, well, he's unconscious."Chris raised an eyebrow, remaining silent. Justin was more formidable than he had thought. In fact, he found Justin was pretty impressive.At first, he figured Justin would lose a few million, knowing Justin did not have that kind of money. Even though Mildred did, a few million would have been a small punishment for both Justin and Mildred. However, Justin's fighting skills turned out to be stronger than expected. To think he even hurt Bob and Wesley.The matter was far from over. With the father and son hurt, Bob would not let it slide. He would come after Justin, and with Mildred so fond of Justin, would she just stand by and watch Bob do whatever to him?The Quirks and the

Chris chuckled. "Really?"Paige's face turned slightly red. She felt embarrassed saying that, and it felt like Chris did not believe her. However, she bit the bullet and nodded. "Yeah, really."Chris smiled and said, "Well then, when you miss me next time, don't just think about it because thinking won't do you any good. When you miss me or care about me, just send me a message or call to check in. After all, I can’t read minds. Also, if you want to hug me, just hug me. Don't hold Hunter in your arms and say you want to hug me. That's just hypocritical."Paige faltered. Hug him when she wanted to hug him? Thanks, but she did not want to hug him. She could easily pick up Hunter, but could she lift Chris so easily? She was not that strong, to begin with."Remember. From now on, when you think of me, send me a message. Ask me if I've eaten, what I've eaten, if I'm tired from work, what I'm doing, or tell me what you're thinking about. Don't keep it all to yourself," Chris said wit

Chris raised an eyebrow.Paige nodded. "Yeah, they’re nothing worth admiring."Indeed, there was nothing worth admiring about the photos."Ha!” Chris snickered.Paige remained silent and thought, ‘Here comes the snickering again.’"You don’t mean what you say," Chris remarked.Paige frowned. "What did I say that implies otherwise? You're a strange one. You're right here in front of me. Why would I need to admire the photos?"Chris grinned. "So you don't want to admire the photos, but you want to admire me, a living person."Paige blushed slightly, feeling embarrassed. She did not mean that, but what she just said seemed to imply exactly that."How would you want to admire me?" Chris teased.Admire was such an intriguing word.Paige blushed harder. "How else can I admire you? Just by looking,
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 697 Taking Pictures of Chris
Before Hunter was born, Chris was the absolute darling of the family. His grandfather favored him, and his parents loved him dearly.However, Hunter's arrival had changed everything. The elders in the family revolved around Hunter all day long. Zander’s first question upon waking up each morning was about Hunter, followed by Ann cuddling Hunter, calling him her darling, and so on.It seemed like everyone had forgotten about Chris.How could Chris, who had always been so cherished, accept that?Chris's expression stiffened as if his thoughts had been unexpectedly revealed, his eyes flickering momentarily.Paige chuckled and said, "Are you seriously competing with a child for attention? Besides, you've been pampered by the family for so many years. Hunter has only been pampered for a few days."Chris retorted coldly, "I'm not competing with him."Paige did not buy it for a second. She smiled and said, "Sure, you're not competing with him. You're just afraid we'll spoil Hunter."A

Pierre fell silent, pondering Shelly's words carefully. Upon reflection, he found Shelly's proposal to be pretty reasonable and entirely feasible. If he were to wait until Shelly entered prison to serve her sentence, he could break up with her afterward. Once his relationship with Shelly ended, his parents would not be as angry. Even if there were some constraints preventing them from openly helping him, they could still assist him discreetly. After all, he was their son, who shared the same blood with them. His parents could not possibly abandon him entirely and let him fend for himself. By lowering himself in front of his parents, he believed they would not neglect him. By then, acquiring the five million dollars would not be too difficult.Shelly watched Pierre, not pressing him to respond. She believed Pierre knew what choice to make. Five million might seem like an astronomical figure, but for the second son of the Alfonsos, it was not much.After much deliberation

New Romance in Marriage Chapter 692 What Else Do You Have
Even if she offered her sincerity, Chris would not appreciate it, so what else could she offer? "Is money the only thing you have? Do you have nothing else besides money?" Chris said.He thought she was truly clueless. Even after being married for so long and having a child together, did she not know what he wanted?However, Paige was indeed puzzled. Besides money, what else did she have? What else could she have?Chris looked her up and down, speechless. Paige might not have understood what he meant before, but she did now. He meant that although she did not have money, she still had a young body.It seemed all Chris lusted was her body."I’m still recovering," Paige said with a slight blush on her face. She knew Chris had been patient for a long time. They barely had any intimacy during the last trimester of her pregnancy, but there was nothing she could do. She did not want to refuse him, but her body would not allow it.Chris glanced at Paige and said, "We can try other
