"You don't deny it. Actually, I know that you like Elizabeth, right? That's nothing. It's not shameful to like someone." Shirley said as she spread out her hands.
Ronald didn't say anything. He looked at Shirley's lively little face with his clear and cold gaze. After a long while, he stood up from the sofa, "Rest early, it's getting late."
Shirley felt that he was trying to avoid this topic.
Perhaps it was because he didn't want her to know his feelings for Elizabeth at all.
Inwardly, she was secretly glad that she had chosen to hire a man to impersonate her beloved, thereby ending their bizarre marriage.
If she told Ronald directly about the divorce, he would definitely not agree to it.
Ronald was a vindictive person, to his enemies, and to his benefactors, it was the same.
She had saved his life, so he would do anything to help her.
In the next few days, Shirley and Brycen maintained a close relationship, and in the process,
Julianna nodded her head. "No wonder he looked a little familiar to me just now. Now that I think about him. If I remember correctly, he should be Silverash Group's CEO, Zackary. Previously, my magazine wanted to give him an interview, so it prepared a series of information about him. I have read it unintentionally. He just returned last year, and previously, he had been abroad, and had something with the mafia. He set up a mafia in the United States, dealing with pornography, gambling, drug abuse and trafficking. He made a lot of money from gambling, and later, he was washed clean. He started a trading company in the United States, expanding to Europe, and last year, he returned and began to develop his real estate and entertainment business. His strength is not to be underestimated. Do you know the Havenlyn Hotel which is popular in Lochapple recently? It was under the control of the Silverash Group. I heard that there's a casino in it, especially for the rich people to play. It's
Coming out from the Linhollow Garden, Shirley was a little dejected.She had originally thought that borrowing money from Elizabeth was the equivalent of killing two birds with one stone.Since it could save Brycen, at the same time, it could make Elizabeth understand that Ronald loved her, and that they would have the chance to be together in the future.But when she saw Elizabeth and chatted, she realized that what she had done was basically useless.Sure enough, she was too anxious. Right now, the time was still not proper yet. Telling Elizabeth the truth did not give her any hope, but instead made her firm her determination to never give up on Jayden.What a loss!On the way back, Julianna called her and asked if the problem with the money had been resolved.She only answered that she would settle it, then hung up the phone and drove towards the villa.In the middle of the night, in the villa.The light in the room o
The moment the two of them entered the hotel lobby, they saw Ronald and Shirley standing side by side at the elevator in front of them.Looking at Ronald's back figure, Elizabeth subconsciously slowed down her pace, and did not dare to get any closer.Sensing that she was not following him, Jayden stopped in his steps, turned his head to look at her, and gently asked, "Do you want to go to the resting area in the hall to take a seat?"Elizabeth knew that he had discovered her escaping mentality, and at the same time, she understood that as long as she continued to be together with Jayden, she would have many opportunities to meet Ronald at many different times.Did she have to hide every time she saw him?"No need, I'm fine. Let's go." Shaking her head, she took a deep breath and continued walking.The sound of their approaching footsteps soon reached Shirley's ears. She turned around, and when she saw that it was Jayden and Elizabeth, she l
Taking a deep breath, Shirley continued to smile, and looked at him in a good mood, "Alright, can you tell me how to make you keep my secret?""About this..." Zackary paused for a moment, and then said, "See my mood.""..." Seeing his mood? Then there was no need to discuss with him?No, she had to let him shut up.Just as she was about to speak, she saw Jayden walking over from the front.What was he doing? Why did he come to the bathroom as well?If he saw Zackary and her standing there and chatting for so long, he would definitely feel doubtful.She frantically turned around, not daring to let Jayden see her face."Mr. Zackary." Jayden had not come over yet, but his voice had already come from the front.Hearing that voice, Shirley secretly cursed "Terrible" in her heart. It seemed like the other party was coming over to greet Zackary, so she couldn't care much. She immediately put on a smile on her face, and purposel
"Thank you for your reminder, but I think I can tell what can be seen, what can be listened to, and what can be said." Her answer was polite and distant, and she had withdrawn her gaze from him."Very good." It seemed like he was being too nosy. Ronald sneered in his heart, turned, and walked out of the auction hall.Elizabeth looked at his wide back that was gradually fading away, and felt a wave of depression in her heart.Why did she clearly decide to respect his decision to help Shirley, and let go of all her fantasies about him? But when she faced him, her heart involuntarily ached.With a single glance, a single movement, a single sentence, they were all able to easily stir her taut nerves.She was really taken with him...Her mind was in a daze. Until Jayden had walked over to her side and called out to her, she regained her senses and look at him."Elizabeth, what are you thinking about?" Seeing that her condition was a little
"What am I going to do?" Brianna raised her eyes and looked at his daughter-in-law, "If you were me, what would you do?"Her rhetorical question stunned Elizabeth.She had never thought about how she would deal with such a situation.However, she was clear in her heart that she wouldn't be able to hurt an innocent little life ruthlessly.But now she was not the one in trouble, so there was no need for her to use her bottom line to ask for her mother-in-law.After all, people were different.With different opinions, different identities, and different locations, they would definitely make different decisions as well.Brianna saw that Elizabeth had a pair of beautiful big eyes, her black eyes rolling around as if she was very troubled, so she did not force her to answer her question, but promised her, "Tell your mother, find that woman for me, I will not treat her shabbily.""Then should I tell this to Jayden? Maybe he has a bett
"I'm just trying to persuade you with good intentions. If you don't follow my advice, there's nothing I can do."She had already said what she needed to say and advised whatever she could. Elizabeth was not the one who liked to meddle in other people's business. If Ainsley insisted on seeking death; she would be willing to bury her."Hum, stop pretending to be good to me, you are just afraid that I will marry into the family Marquez, aren't you? Let me tell you, I must enter the Marquez family. Go back to tell your mother-in-law, if she knows what's good for her, sign the divorce agreement earlier. Don't wait for my child to be born, and no one will have a good face then." Ainsley said haughtily."Ainsley, are you really not afraid?" Elizabeth didn't know where she got the courage and confidence from. She had actually challenged her mother-in-law."What am I afraid of? Could it be that she, Brianna, dares to find trouble with me in my family? Don't think
Elizabeth was in a daze as she watched Jayden's back. Alondra had already finished ordering the dishes, and waved her hand in front of her, "Hey, what are you looking at? I ordered lamb chops, cod, vegetable salad and dessert for you. Are these enough?""Enough, I can't eat too much." Elizabeth regained her senses, and then asked again, "Alondra, do you often come here?""Often? The dishes here are too expensive, how could I come here often?" Alondra said as she reached out to cover her stomach, "Elizabeth, you sit for a while, I need to go to the bathroom.""Okay, go ahead. I'll wait for you." Elizabeth nodded and watched her leave.After Alondra left, Elizabeth took out her phone to call her mother-in-law, Brianna, telling her that she was eating outside and not going home to have lunch.After reporting her plan, she kept her phone and waited for Alondra to return.Not long after, the waiter began to serve an appetizer.Elizabeth lo
"So, he was a hero who saved you, who caused Ms. Pollard to have heart touched?" Elizabeth could not help but tease.Shirley's face reddened, but she shook her head, " Not either. I don't know when I started liking him. Well, it's not that I like him. It's that he won't be with me.""Then I'm willing to stay with you! Sister, stay with me. I'll buy you a beautiful dress, and I'll even buy you delicious food." Jagger threw away the toy in his hand at an unknown time and moved his head closer, swearing solemnly.Hearing this, Elizabeth didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Why is you everywhere? Go over there and help Monica.""She can take care of it herself. She doesn't need help, but this beauty needs me more now." As he talked, he walked in front of Shirley and spread open his arms, grabbing onto her arms, "Beautiful sister, you don't have to be sad. I will treat you well."Shirley was shocked by the actions of Jagger, but she still maintained he
"Why are you looking for me?" Zackary did not continue to discuss this topic with her. He knew that no matter what he said, he would not be able to dispel the feelings Shirley had for him.Shirley remembered that she had business to attend to and immediately replied, "Oh right, I came to invite you to attend Ronald's party with me.""A party? What party?" Ronald wanted to organize a party, but unexpectedly did not directly send him an invitation."It's just a small gathering for a few people. Elizabeth, you know about it, right? She was exactly Jayden' wife from before, but was actually the lover of Ronald, and because of some misunderstanding, she married Jayden. However, the misunderstanding has been resolved, and they have reconciled once again. "Shirley explained.Hearing that, Zackary's face lit up, "I understand." No wonder he felt that there was something strange between Jayden and Elizabeth earlier.He suddenly understood the reason for the
At this time, Zackary was in the conference room having a meeting. When he heard the bell, he looked at the caller ID, but did not pick up. Instead, he gave the phone to Kellen beside him.When Kellen saw that it was Shirley calling, he immediately stood up and left the conference room, and picked up the phone, "Hello ... Ms. Pollard.""Kellen? Why did you pick up the phone? Where's Zackary?" Shirley asked with some surprise."The boss is in a meeting right now. What can I do for you?" Kellen said."You come down and help me stop the car. Your company's parking space is too full, I can't find a place to park. I'll hand the car key over to the security guards at the door. "" Okay. "After Shirley finished speaking, she ended the call and got out of the car, walked to the main entrance and threw the key in her hand into the hands of the security guards."Miss, your car can't be parked here, please drive away." The security guard quickly said."
"Then there can only be two possibilities, either Tanya tricked her or she tricked us. However, if she knew that Jayden had burned to death, she should not have pretended not to know. "Brianna analyzed, then said, "Immediately find someone to investigate Tanya. I want to personally ask her what exactly happened?""Alright, I will instruct the people to find the private detective and find Tanya." Alivia knew that she would know what she had told Elizabeth back then after finding her, and would also know what had happened when Elizabeth left that year."Also, find someone to keep an eye on Elizabeth and investigate where she is staying and who she is with. If the child is still alive, we will definitely be able to find the child. "Brianna added."Mm, I understand." Alivia agreed and immediately went to the side. She picked up her phone and followed Brianna's instructions to find someone.Elizabeth came out of Brianna's villa, got on a taxi and went straight
Elizabeth couldn't answer the question.Of course she could not tell Brianna that the child was not Jayden'. Even if Brianna did believe her, she might not be able to accept it, but it was just that the answer was too much of a shock for her, and she would not let her off.But if she did not say the truth, Brianna would definitely want this child to be part of Jayden's lifespan.Back then, when Jayden said he wanted to marry her, he also wanted to keep the child in her womb as a precaution against his leaving one day in order to comfort his parents?What should she do?How could she answer that?Elizabeth was in a dilemma."I'm asking you a question. Why didn't you answer my question? Where's my grandson? Where is he? "Seeing that Elizabeth was quiet for a long time, Brianna became anxious and her tone became more serious."I'm sorry ..."Elizabeth steeled her heart and raised her head to look at Brianna.Hearing that, Br
When Jagger returned and saw Shirley, there was no need to mention how happy he was. In an instant, he stuck to her and took apart the toys in her arms.Shirley seemed to like him a lot as well, and patiently played with him for a good while.It wasn't until the time to eat that Elizabeth finally carried Jagger to his own child's seat.Ronald left the company at noon and went to the apartment for lunch.At the dining table, when Shirley saw them looking so happy, she couldn't help but sigh emotionally, "If Ronald hadn't married me in order to help me back then, you three would definitely have been even happier than you are now.""Don't mention the past." Ronald knew that she always felt a little guilty and felt that she was the one who had separated him and Elizabeth."It's good to be like this for now." Elizabeth added.Shirley smiled casually, "Alright, I know you guys are treating me well. Let's eat."They chatted and laughe
After Alvaro left, Oliver then set his gaze back on Ainsley who was in a sorry state, "Monica, may I trouble you to bring this young miss to the female restroom to tidy up.""Alright."Monica agreed, then turned to Ainsley and said, "Let's go."Ainsley looked deeply at Oliver, and without a word, she followed Monica out.After settling this matter, Jagger immediately started to admire Oliver, "Uncle Gardner, you're awesome. You beat up that bad guy.""You're the best, kid. You even know how to save a beauty,"Oliver carried him and laughed."Uncle Gardner, that sister is so pitiful. Can we help her?" Jagger asked again at this time.Hearing this, Oliver looked at him with a smile: "How do you want to help her?"Jagger shook his heads. "I don't know either.""Alright, leave this matter to me. We have come down long enough,and I will ask Monica to bring you to see daddy, okay?"Oliver said.After think
Although he didn't know what the two people next door were talking about, he could obviously tell that the man was bullying the woman. Out of a sense of righteousness, he picked up his pants and left the toilet, walking to the door next door. Reaching out his hand, he pushed open the door that wasn't locked in time."Bastard, let go of that lady!" His voice was full of vigor, his pretty sword-like eyebrows were tightly knitted together, and he had an expression of hatred for evil.The man and woman in the bathroom were shocked by the sudden appearance of this little kid. The man turned his fat body around and looked at Jagger standing at the door, "Kid, where did you come from? Hurry up and get out of. Do you believe that I won't beat you up?"Being scared by him, Jagger immediately started to wail.Monica who was outside heard the crying coming from inside. She did not care that this was the male restroom and rushed in.She saw Jagger standing at
"Daddy has to work." Elizabeth said."Then let's go to the place where Daddy works and play. We went his company last time. There are so many beautiful young ladies there. "He was infatuated with the scene of being surrounded by a group of beauties. It was so nice."No, Daddy is busy at work and doesn't have time to accompany you." Elizabeth rejected without thinking.In truth, that was still the main reason, as though she was really bringing Jagger to the company. If someone saw them, it would definitely cause a huge commotion, and once the relationship between Jagger and Ronald got exposed, it would cause a huge commotion, and she did not dare take such a risk.Hearing this, his small mouth curled up and his expression became very sad. "Hum ...I miss my dad so much, I want to see my dad so much... Mommy is bad, you don't want me to go look for daddy ..."Saying that, he jumped down from the chair, ran to the side of the sofa in the living room, p
