Chapter 371 Innocent and Well-behaved

Paige nodded obediently.Chris turned to Ann. "What's up?"Ann glanced at Paige and hesitated before asking, "Do you know who's responsible for Paige feeling unwell and bleeding?"Chris and Paige exchanged glances. They were well aware.Chris nodded. "Yeah."Ann looked at Paige, who also nodded.Then, Ann said, "Shelly's mom reached out to me."More accurately, she begged Ann.Ann and Shelly's mom had been socialites since childhood, so they had always had a good relationship. Later, both families married and had children, giving birth to Shelly and Chris. Ann had practically watched Shelly grow up and observed how Shelly's parents raised her.That was why she thought highly of Shelly and believed that Shelly was worthy of her son.

Chapter 372 Shelly and Wendy Argue

"If you could harm your grandson, why didn't you do the same to your daughter back then?" Shelly asked with frustration.Wendy remained silent.Could Paige and the baby inside her be considered the same?Paige was a living, breathing person, while the child in her womb was just an undeveloped embryo. In Wendy's eyes, an embryo did not equate to a life, so it was not against her conscience to plot against it."You're a useless woman," Shelly remarked. If Wendy had been a little more useful, Paige might not be alive and kicking right now.Infuriated, Wendy looked at Shelly and replied with contempt, "Useless? If I'm useless, what does that make you? You couldn't outshine Sierra back then, and now, Paige. You helplessly watched as Chris and Sierra got engaged and Paige married Chris. You even witnessed them in love, and now, you're witnessing Paige carrying Chris's child. If I'm useless, you're even more so. If you had any value, you could’ve done something yourself instead of forcin

Chapter 373 The Shepards Apologize

Rory glared at her. "You may say that, but going to jail means your life is over. Do you know what going to jail represents? Your reputation, the Shepards's reputation, and all the effort we've put into you over the years would be in vain. In our circles, those with power and influence won't marry someone with a criminal record."Shelly bit her lip, staying silent. She knew her dad was right.Going to jail would indeed destroy a significant part of her life, but what choice did she have?"Do you think… if I beg Chris, he might let me off?" Shelly looked at her father. "If Chris had even a little sympathy for me or the Shepards, he wouldn’t have gone straight to the police."Rory fell silent.Indeed, what Chris did was too harsh.If Shelly made a mistake, they could negotiate, discuss compensation, and apologize. However, Chris went straight to the police.It meant Chris refused to show the Shepards any mercy.Rory looked at May.With red eyes, May said, "After I found out abou

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

No matter what she did or how she had changed, she was still her mother’s daughter and her mother would continue to dote on her as always.Shelly forced a smile and said, "Mom, I'm fine..."May sighed. "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.

Chapter 376 Craziness That Can Destroy the World

"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.

In their eyes, he and Wendy were no different.Bob was

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.

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

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
