MasukSheila, hearing her limping explanation, grew intrigued. "Not intentional? Elaborate on how it was 'not intentional.'"
Daphne had already prepared her spiel.
"That day, I was out sending a client, passing by this area when my period unexpectedly started. My pants got stained, so I just wanted to come up and change. I was about to leave when I experienced severe abdominal pain, so I stayed a little longer."
"These things..." she continued, "I was dizzy and rushed that day,
Brianna was dressed in a white suit paired with black jeans, almost identical to what Sheila had worn yesterday.The others glanced at Brianna, then their gazes landed on Sheila's perfect high-crowned ponytail updo.They were even wearing the same hairstyle.Since joining the crew, Brianna had been imitating Sheila day in and day out, from her clothing style to her hairstyle and makeup. Now, she was even mimicking her tone of voice and the way she walked.It was like she was participating in a celebrity impersonation show, so pathological it was appalling.The others quickly withdrew their disgusted gazes and ignored her.However, Brianna didn't give up and approached Sheila, hooking her arm. "Sheila, I'm closest to you on the set. Can't you bring me along to hang out?"Caroline couldn't stand it and shoved her away. "Copycat! When did Sheila become close to you? No one's close to you, okay? You've got some nerve."Caroline's v
"Mr. Ford, what's the market value of seventy percent of the the Ford Group's shares? Three hundred billion?""Do you think you're worth that much?""Me? I can easily rake in a billion just by being with Killian, of course I'm worth it.""Mr. Ford, please consider it."...Clearly, this was an edited recording.Even if Sheila hadn't warned him beforehand, he wouldn't have believed she'd say something like that.Back then, when he wanted to give her all his assets, she ruthlessly rejected him.Truman, seeing that Killian hadn't reacted for a long time, continued to fan the flames: "Sigh, Killian, you should stay away from women like this. I wonder who else she'll try to partner with now that I've refused her."Killian chuckled coldly: "Thank you for the reminder, Uncle Truman. Don't worry, I'll handle it."Truman's tense nerves immediately relaxed a bit. "That's good, I'm just worried about you. There are plenty of
"..."Everyone thinks that Killian would never marry her, that she's not good enough for Killian.She's tired of hearing it too.Sheila quietly glanced at him and chuckled, "Thank you, Mr. Ford, for your concern, but I don't need you to worry about my affairs."However, her answer was not at all what Truman expected. "Are you willing to watch Killian marry someone else in the future, while you grow old and are cruelly abandoned?"Sheila hadn't yet discerned Truman's intentions, so she followed his lead and asked, "Then what is Mr. Ford's brilliant idea?"Regaining control, Truman leisurely said, "I can give you another option."Sheila looked like she was all ears, playing along with him."Cooperate with me, help me get 70% of Ford's shares, and I can give you ten billion." Truman said with greedy eyes, "Then even if you break up with Killian, you can still have a place in the capital with that money."Sheila: "..."
Jerry's old face flushed. "Sir, what kind of beastly words are those?"The car screeched to a halt in the garage. Sheila practically leaped out, and Killian was hot on her heels.Sheila shoved open the door, and the lights blazed on, flooding the room. In that instant, she was pinned against the entryway wall by Killian, who launched into a kiss, demanding and possessive.He forced her lips open, his tongue tangling with hers, a fierce and relentless invasion that threatened to consume her whole.She knew it! What "talk things over"? He was nothing but a fox, and there was no such thing as simple goodwill with him.Sheila struggled for a few moments before her limbs turned to jelly. She hung limply onto him, losing herself to the rising tide of desire, a dizzying, addictive entanglement.He scooped her up by the thighs, carried her to the sofa, and settled her on his lap.The bright, spacious living room made Sheila feel exposed. She
Just as Sheila pulled out of the garage, she saw the black Porsche gaining on her from behind.She slammed on the gas, trying to shake him off.Luckily, it was rush hour, and with the heavy traffic, Sheila managed to ditch Truman at a red light after a few intersections.But Sheila knew she couldn't hide forever; she'd have to face his relentless pursuit sooner or later.When Sheila arrived at the restaurant's private room, Caroline and Amy were already there.She'd invited Caroline to discuss Amy's job situation.Caroline was stunned to hear that Amy had been fired because of what happened last night. "Damn, he is warning us. If we keep dragging you into our crazy escapades, he'll punish us.""Amy, losing your job is a minor setback," Caroline said, patting her on the shoulder to comfort her. "At least you weren't blacklisted from the entire industry, right?"Amy immediately looked relieved. "That's true."Sheila still
Sheila's heart was racing, but Derek's probing gaze was like a bucket of ice water, forcing her to suppress all her emotions."Okay, but think it through," her voice was unnervingly calm. "Once you agree, there's no turning back. No matter who the male lead is, you have to finish the role.""Yeah, I promise you." Caroline's voice came through the receiver, firm and clear.The two beside her also caught on to the gist of the conversation. The moment the phone hung up, Davis couldn't wait to ask, "Miss Ford is willing to continue acting?"Sheila raised her eyes, her gaze deliberately lingering on Derek's ashen face for a second, "Yes, she agreed."Derek stiffly tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Then what about the male lead? If Caroline participates, Mr. Cole will withdraw! You need to understand that Mr. Cole is the key. We'd rather lose Caroline than lose Mr. Cole.""I suggest we replace Caroline and persuade Mr. Cole to come back!"
Before he could answer, Killian was ready to charge, but Sheila immediately blocked him, gasping, "I...I haven't thought it through...""No, no baby!"Under the dim moonlight, Killian silently glared at her for a moment, then gave a self-deprecating smile and kissed her fiercely.......At the hosp
The hell? Am I just a breeding tool?Is money omnipotent? He's actually throwing money at me!Although... but...How much is one hundred million? What's that multiplied by four?Even with a three million annual salary, it would take me thirty-three years to earn a hundred million. I'd be sixty, and
Olivia ripped off her apron, stained with grease, and stormed out of the kitchen.Her sharp gaze swept over Sheila before landing on Killian.Killian stood tall and upright, nodding with composure and confidence to her and Antony. "Dad, Mom, hello. I'm Killian, Sheila's husband."
On the way back, Sheila stared blankly out the window.Suddenly, Killian reached out and pulled her into his arms."Thinking about Mrs. Cole?" His lips brushed against her ear.Sheila nodded, about to speak, but he turned her chin. A warm kiss landed on her lips, deepening wi
