Hearing Shelton's words, I suddenly felt a chill running down my spine. I opened my eyes wide and said after a long while, "Then...Then, in the end, you..." "I didn't kill her." Shelton revealed a wry smile, saying, "Before I graduated, she died. Before I killed her, she died naturally.." Hearing this, I let out a sigh of relief. Shelton moved the muscles on his face, making me ascertain that he was looking at me. He looked at me and said, "Then, I was brought back to the Cowell Family. At first, I didn't want to ruin the Cowell Family, trying quite hard to get along with them. So I tried harder, pretended that I couldn't tell that they were mocking me, and did all my best to be good to them." "However, in the end, I discovered that they would never change their views of me. No matter what I did, in their eyes, I was nobody but a beggar." Shelton's words deeply touched me. He was talking about the Cowell Family. But I felt like he was talking a
My guess was verified soon. After I arrived at the studio, within a few minutes, Nancy came in. Looking at me, she said in anger, "What did Shelton say to you yesterday?" "What's the matter?" I looked at her. Nancy put down the bag, sat on a chair, and said, "Have you read the news on the Internet? Accoridng to my husband, Shelton was the one behind it. He did so to divert the public from paying attention to his scandal. Moreover, he had been planing it for a few days and turned to a lot of people. And the news it was suddenly exposed today!" I stood where I was, looking a little stiff. I had guessed so just now. Even so, Hearing Nancy's words, I somewhat couldn't accept it. No wonder that Shelton had said yesterday that we wouldn't see each other again. And he had apologized to me. It turned out that he had known that he would do this. Naturally, he knew that I wouldn't forgive him. He, who had been set up, got me implicated as we
Pondering on it for a moment, Ryan nodded, "Well, fortunately, I rented a house nearby. I'll take Jessica there first. Then let's make further plans." "Okay." I nodded and turned to go through the formalities of getting Jessica discharged. When I arrived at the nurse's station, all the nurses looked at me with different looks in their eyes. But I could understand them. They were watching a good show. At first, as I went through the paperwork, all the nurses looked at me without any one of them saying anything. However, when I almost completed the procedures, someone finally could not stand it any longer and said to me, "Miss Nolan, I heard that you are the former fiancee of Mr. Shelton, aren't you?" I kept my head down without saying anything. I was waiting for the printed discharge certificate and leave. I didn't speak. Hearing the nurse's words, all other nurses were interested in me. They all looked at me and said happily, "Miss Nolan,
The next day, there came the second explosive revelation. It was about the Kelsi family. Unexpectedly, the breaking news was about the secret between Finn and Jessica. It revealed how Finn, a married man, had deceived Jessica and how Jessica had been trapped by him step by step. After Jessica was pregnant with the twins, Finn wanted to go home and divorce his wife, making Jessica his wife. So he brought her back to City Y. However, Finn's wife, Katy Willard, was fierce. Besides refusing to divorce Finn, she found Jessica and locked her up to humiliate her. For the sake of the babies in her belly, Jessica put up with Katy whatever Katy said. As long as the babies were fine, she would be fine. During this period, unexpectedly, Finn didn't care about Jessica at all. Finally, Jessica found a chance, ran out by herself, and returned to the Reid Family. The news revealed a story with extremely delicate details. It was as if someone were standin
I quickly squatted down and persuaded Glenn, "Glenn, I'll go back to pick you up within two months..." After that, feeling that Glenn would think that it was too much a long time, I continued, "How about I pick you up within a month?" "No! Not even for a day! I don't want to go back to Town S!" He pulled my arm and refused to let go with all his might. "Glenn, be good. Mom did it for your own good. Well, are you okay with two weeks?" "No, I am not okay with it!" Glenn shook his head desperately. Seeing this, I said to pamper him, "How about this? I'll go back with you, okay?" Glenn asked, "What about Dad?" Ever since Patrick and I lived together, Glenn had been pestering Patrick every day. No matter how late Patrick came back, Glenn would be waiting for him at home. Now that he wasn't reluctant to leave City Y. One reason was that he was reluctant to part with me. And the other was that he didn't want to be separated from Patrick.
At this time, Sheridan, who originally didn't want to intervene, finally couldn't stand it anymore. He came over and said, "That's enough, Dulcie. Let them in." "Sheridan, how come you help them too? This woman...She..." "All right. Don't make trouble in the hospital if you have something to say. It will make a fool of yourself." Sheridan looked irritated. Judging from the expression on his face, I could tell that he should have found Dulcie an annoyance. During this short interval, Patrick pulled me slightly. Only then did I go in with them. In the ICU ward, Ned lay on the only hospital bed with a stomach tube on his nose, an intravenous drip on his hands, and countless instruments beside him. His eyes were tightly shut. There was sallow skin on his wrinkled face. Actually, it hadn't been long since I met him last time. But Ned seemed to have aged for several dozen years old. Glenn asked Patrick next to him, "Did Grandpa fall aslee
I sat up and felt that my head ached. Touching my head, I found that blood had been oozing out of it! Standing on the side, Glenn saw that I fell down and immediately ran over, "Mom!" Hearing his voice, Jessica, who had been chasing the servant in excitement, suddenly stopped. Turning around to see Glenn, she stopped chasing the servant and walked toward Glenn step by step. Glenn ran to me and looked up to see Jessica coming to me. Spreading his arms, he said, "Don't come over. I won't let you hurt my mother!" As her eyes were full of infatuation, Jessica looked at Glenn. Seeing her like this, I was frightened. I was afraid that she would lose control of herself and harm Glenn. After all, she was strong. And I couldn't withstand her push just now. If she hit Glenn, Glenn surely would... I quickly held Glenn in my arms, looked up at Jessica, and said, "Aunt...Auntie Jessica, calm down, calm down! I am your daughter. And Glenn is your gran
At that moment, I couldn't be more stunned! AsI wanted to reach out to pull her, I only managed to grasp the edge of her skirt. Soon, because of her weight, her skirt slipped from my hand! I saw her lying on the ground. And the one driving black Jeep had no intention of stopping the car. I turned around to have a look at it in a hurry, only to realize that the tablet of the Jeep had been covered. There wouldn't be such a coincidence in the world. If there was, it surely was conspiracy! Before I encountered this matter, many matters in the past had confirmed this point. I saw Kelsi lying there with her eyes closed. We were in a relatively remote place. And there was no one around. However, as soon as something happened, a few passers-by immediately gathered around her. I hesitated for a moment and called 911 in the end. After that, I was in a mess in my mind. Without deliberation, I directly called Patrick. Soon, 911 arri
After the wedding, our honeymoon plan was postponed because Rosalie was too young and Patrick's legs had not yet fully recovered. I had been resting at home all along. Sometimes I would talk to Nancy about my work. It was March with spring blossoms when Rosalie was 100 days old. Early in the morning, Patrick went out as usual, and I saw him off at the door. He held my face, kissed my forehead gently, and said softly, "Pack your daily necessities this morning. We'll go to our new home this afternoon." "New home? Where is it? Why didn't you mention it before?" I was stunned. I hadn't heard anything about the new home from Patrick so far. He looked mysterious and tidied up the messy hair on my face. "You will know when we arrive in the afternoon." After that, without waiting for me to ask more questions, he glanced at his watch and hurried out. "A new home?" I thought about it carefully. After getting married to Patrick, I
Patrick and I held a wedding when Rosalie was 100 days old. Although he wanted to hold a grand banquet, I refused to do so. Mostly, I was too old to care about the formalities anymore. But I understood that it was Patrick's heart for me, and I did not refuse to hold the wedding. We just needed to call some good friends and have a Simple banquet. Patrick couldn't convince me, so he naturally agreed. In the blink of an eye, it was the wedding day. Shirley sent me the wedding dress. Because it was a mini wedding, only seven or eight tables were available. Most of the guests came from my studio and Towering High Company. Everyone was familiar with each other. In order to solve the marriage problem of the older single women in my studio, Nancy and I also made a special effort on the seating row. We specifically put single men and women of marriageable age at one table, expecting them to develop their relationship. Early
Listening to Shirley's words, I truly felt lucky for Shelton. Fortunately, he returned. Fortunately, he returned to Shirley's side. Back to the person who loved him. Michael Blake was hired as defense counsel in Shelton's case. I went to find Patrick and asked him about the case. He told me Shelton had locked Emily up for a while, but he soon let her go. But after that, Emily asked Shelton for money. Shelton gave her some. After Emily spent all the money, she was desperate and went to the police. She wanted to use this method to force Shelton to give her money. When I heard Patrick's words, I thought that Emily was too naïve. If this were true, then someone might help her. But it was she who exposed the video in the first place, and everyone knew that. She had made the choice. Now everything she said just made it worse. Emily had no money, so she could only find the assigned lawyer to file the lawsuit. In the first
She looked terrible, even her makeup was crying off. Only one night had passed, but she seemed to have aged a few years. She looked at us and asked, "How is father doing?" "The operation was successful." Patrick answered, but his expression looked bad. Dulcie heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Good." Then she turned around and was about to leave. Patrick said, "Aunt Dulcie, you don't have to blame yourself. It's just that Roger used you." "I blame myself for being stupid." Dulcie stood there, with her back to us and her head lowered. "I know it quite well in my heart. How could such a handsome, good and young man like him fall in love with me? But I still hold a trace of luck in my heart, thinking about what if it's true?" She didn't go on but left with her head down. I was a little worried. "Will your aunt be fine?" "Don't worry. She is a strong woman." After Patrick said that, he patted me on the shoulder. "You should go to
Patrick's words were like a sharp sword that pierced into Roger's heart. Roger stood there. Although he looked calm, he lost all his momentum. At this moment, the ambulance arrived. Although Dulcie was angry and hard to accept it, she could tell what was more important. She opened the door and let the doctor in. The doctor examined Ned first, and then quickly carried him into the ambulance. Because of the small space in the ambulance, only two people were allowed to accompany Ned. Sheridan and Melissa got in. Once they left, it was just me, Patrick, Dulcie, and Roger left in the room. "I'll ask the driver to drive the car over." Patrick took out his phone and called the driver. Then I supported him to go out. Dulcie and Roger stood there without saying a word. Patrick did not talk to them either. He went out with me and got in the car. We decided to order the servants to take care of Glenn first. We cal
Hearing his words, Sheridan looked gloomy on the side. Patrick held me in his arms, "You seem to care about the affairs of the Cowell Family so much. Each time we have some disputes, you will help us enthusiastically. Now you are making a move on my aunt, aren't you?" "No." After finishing his words, Roger imitated Patrick and held Dulcie in his arms, saying, "Dulcie and I love each other sincerely." ...... I looked gloomy. It wasn't that I didn't believe in December Romance. However, the age gap between them was so large. As Patrick's aunt, Dulcie was quite good-looking. It was just that she, who was old, had encountered too many unpleasant things in the past few years, making her meaner and harsher. As for Roger by her side... From all aspects, every woman lusted for him. He, who wasn't poor, surely could get whatever woman he wanted with ease. Indeed, in every way, there was no way that he would take a fancy to Dulcie. No w
"All right." I nodded. I would marry Patrick soon. Because of the things taking place in the past, the Cowell Family didn't have a good impression of me. If I arrived there late because of getting changed this time, it wouldn't be worth it. Holding Patrick's hand, I went downstairs with him. Coming out early, we didn't see many cars on the road. When we arrived at the Cowell Family's mansion, it was exactly 6:30 p.m. By the time we went in, it had been quite lively inside the house. Sheridan, Melissa, and Ned were all surrounding Glenn. Glenn, a six-year-old child, was smart and flexible. Whatever others asked him, he would respond like an adult. Upon seeing us, the three of us looked at me. Ned straightened up first and said with a smile on his face, "You're here." "Yes. Hello, Grandpa Cowell." After greeting Ned, I said to Sheridan and Melissa, "Hello, Mr. Sheridan. Hello, Mrs. Melissa." Now, the relationsh
"I'll be gentler." Leaning and frowning, he seemed to be in great pain, "I'm in pain." ...... "I am telling you the truth..." Cupping my face with his hands, he looked as if he were waiting for me to show my mercy. Frowning, i didn't know what to do for a while. What's more, unlike Patrick's office where there was a lounge, my office was a small one with a sofa only. Moreover, the setup was later divided. It wasn't quite soundproof. Once, Nancy made a phone call to argue with a construction company in her office. I heard all that she had said clearly in my office... Thinking of this, I shook my head heavily. Seeing his distressed look, I tentatively asked, "Shall we go upstairs?" Upon finishing my words, I felt that my suggestion wasn't quite plausible. At this time, Patrick was on the verge of ejecting. His private part was bulging. On the way out, we would pass by the open office... Everyone would be watching us.
"Why did you... come here?" Standing up in a hurry, I helped Patrick into the office. While walking in, he closed the door handily. Looking up at the closed door, I knew that he should be here for what had happened just now. Even if he wouldn't take the initiative to come here, I would ask him about it. I helped Patrick seated on the sofa. Sitting up, he looked at me and said, "What do you want to know? Go ahead." Sure enough, he knew me. Sitting opposite him and looking at him, I thought for a moment before asking, "What happened? What did Kelsi do?" "Ever since she left last time, per my order, Louis had been keeping an eye on everything about her, including the ones she contacted. As expected, she dealt with the ones who smuggled guns and bribed a murderer, asking him to kill someone." Patrick didn't state who Kelsi had wanted to kill explicitly. Even so, I knew that it was me. I looked at Patrick, asking, "What did you do?
