LOGINSheila's pupils contracted sharply. She stared at Jocelyn in disbelief.She truly hadn't expected something like this to be possible.A moment later, her anger morphed into a mocking laugh. "I pushed you into the pool? At a banquet with so many people, why would I do that? Drown you and ruin my entire life in the process?""Jocelyn, could you at least use your brain when you're wrongly accusing someone?"Everyone present belonged to the elite of society. Even without Sheila speaking, they recognized this as nothing more than a ridiculous farce. Sheila was Killian's wife, a sparrow transformed into a phoenix. She held power, status, and respect—she wanted for nothing. Even if she harbored resentment towards Jocelyn, she wouldn't commit such an act in this setting. It was simply too absurd.Killian warned Jocelyn in a cold voice, "Think carefully before you speak. If you're spouting nonsense, this matter won't be easily dismissed."Jocel
The two women sat on chairs by the pool.Jocelyn looked at Sheila, a wave of emotion washing over her face. "Do you remember that time, when you taught me to swim? I almost drowned, and you still saved me, despite everything."Sheila nodded. "You weren't entirely bad. You even helped me out with my uncle."Jocelyn flashed her a small smile. "Sheila, actually, I really don't like you. Because you're beautiful and excellent, Killian loves you, and Kane can't forget you either."Sheila was speechless. "Is that supposed to be a compliment?"Jocelyn continued, "But I'm beautiful and excellent too, aren't I? Why am I still not as good as you in their eyes?"From her tone, it sounded like she'd suffered quite a bit at Kane's hands. Did Kane mess up his act? Did she see through him?"Plenty of people love you, but you don't care about them, only fixating on these two men," Sheila said kindly. "Your parents... your grandfather, I heard you eve
When it came to poaching talent, profit was paramount. Especially for a shrewd and ambitious woman like Vivien.So Sheila employed the most primitive method: offering the most enticing terms, coupled with a sincere heart.After reading the contract, Vivien's face was a mask of disbelief. "Ms. Emerson, I'd like to know, what category of agents at Orange Entertainment are these terms targeted at?""Only you." Sheila sincerely recounted Vivien's shining journey from assistant to golden-tier agent, her eyes reflecting pure sincerity. "My admiration for you is genuine, not empty flattery. As long as you can elevate Orange Entertainment to the next level, I can even promise you five percent equity."Then she stated solemnly, "Ms. Smith, only by joining Orange Entertainment will you truly shine and thrive in this industry!"Vivien had actually looked into Sheila long ago. From Orange Entertainment's multiple crises to the success of , she had always been curious about this
Ryan pushed the door open, letting in a gust of early autumn chill.“Sheila!” His voice held the joyous flutter of a long-awaited reunion, his fingers unconsciously tightening on his backpack straps.Sheila motioned for him to sit. The steam rising from the purple teapot blurred her expression. “Three years, and you’re still…”She surveyed his utterly unchanged attire, then chuckled, “Haven’t even changed your glasses?”Ryan adjusted his signature black-rimmed glasses, his ear tips faintly reddening.They hadn't really kept in touch online during those three years, but every holiday, she'd receive a blessing message from Ryan. They'd exchange a few pleasantries. However, for her wedding with Killian, all of the Ford Group's employees, even the cleaning ladies, had attended. Yet, she recalled Ryan hadn't shown up, only sending her a congratulatory message.Sheila pushed the pastries in front of him. “Have something to eat first; we can talk while we do.”Ryan nodded. “Okay.”Sheila act
Rock's face was ghastly pale, his lips trembling uncontrollably. "Impossible... This is impossible..."He turned to Kane, his voice carrying a last shred of hope. "Mr. Maxwell, quickly, you must find a way!"Kane stared at Maxwell's plummeting stock prices, suddenly noticing familiar account numbers in the transaction details.They were the offshore accounts Killian had used three months ago to acquire scattered shares of Ford."Killian Ford." He ground out the three words through clenched teeth, then crushed the wine glass in his hand with a sudden, forceful grip, smashing it fiercely against the smart screen. Spiderweb cracks spread out from the center of his fist.Toby ripped off his gold-rimmed glasses, the arm breaking into two pieces in his palm."We've been played," his voice was a terrifying rasp. "From the very beginning, this was a setup."The conference room door was violently pushed open. The secretary, looking frantic, followed behind three uniformed investigators. "Mr. F
Under Killian's meticulous operation, the Ford Group's stock price steadily rebounded, and Sheila closed her laptop with a sigh of relief.Just then, her phone vibrated.Seeing a message from Morris, she eagerly checked it."Mrs. Ford, we have news. We found out Ivan has a friend named Norman, an ophthalmologist at Finch Hospital. They used to be in close contact, but Norman disappeared six months ago. If we can find him, we might find some evidence."Sheila stared at her phone screen, her fingertips unconsciously tightening.She immediately replied: "Can you find out more specific information about Norman before he disappeared? Family, address, last known location?"Morris sent an encrypted file: "This is all the information we have so far. He was last seen in a small town on the border of Z Nation, then vanished as if into thin air."After reviewing it, Sheila replied to Morris: "Mr. Morris, I beg you, money is no object!"Morris: "Understood, Mrs. Ford. I will do my utmost."Just t
However, Killian didn't even glance at her, heading straight towards the elevator.She had thought that now they were married, and had been so intimate last night, he would at least be a little kinder to her than before.She was overthinking it.Clearly, Killian's attitude was: keep things strictly
Knowing that Killian had gone out of the city and wouldn't be back tonight, Sheila felt instantly relieved.So she handled some work and then went for a night run near the residential area.At ten o'clock in the evening, Sheila returned to the villa, took a shower, and prepared to go to bed.Sudden
"What did you say?" Kane froze at her words, and Sheila seized the opportunity to break free and push him away.Sheila gritted her teeth, repeating, "I'm already married. If you don't marry me, plenty of others will."Kane's face turned ashen. "Are you crazy? Married? Who did you marry?"Sheila sai
Although it's a marriage of convenience, it's still a real marriage.Sheila wanted to fully experience it, so she woke up early to put on makeup and even wore the veil and little dress she had secretly bought from Kane a while ago.Originally, she had fantasized about paying the down payment on the
