เข้าสู่ระบบThe car sped down the highway.Pop music played softly in the car, neither too loud nor too quiet.Ben drove in silence, while Sheila rested with her eyes closed, only occasionally opening them to chat with him, just enough to break the monotony of the highway and prevent him from falling asleep.With about an hour left of their journey, they pulled into a service area.They both went to the restroom. Sheila then bought two bottles of coffee after she came out.There weren't many brands or flavors to choose from, so she just picked randomly.Ben wasn't picky either, taking a few sips to perk himself up.Back on the road, Ben suddenly asked her, "What if we still find nothing this time?"Without hesitation, Sheila replied, "Then we keep investigating."Ben gripped the steering wheel with both hands, staring ahead. "But what good will finding the truth do?"Sheila wasn't sure what he meant by that.Did he thi
Sebastian smiled, patting Ben's arm. "It really is a coincidence. So, he just decided to stay here with us."Caroline urged, "Let's talk on the way, I'm starving right now."Looking at her adorable pout, Sebastian couldn't resist lightly tapping the brim of her hat. "Little glutton, didn't you eat anything on the plane?""Uh..." Caroline looked up, met his gaze, then shyly averted her eyes. "The plane food wasn't to my taste. I want something authentic."Sebastian smiled at her. "Let's go. I've already had someone reserve a table. Cheese fondue, sound good?"Caroline's cheeks flushed. "Mhm."The young couple exchanged glances, sickeningly sweet.Everyone hadn't even had lunch yet, but they'd already been fed a huge helping of PDA.Sheila recalled that the day after their relationship took off, Caroline had been so excited she'd chatted with her all night.It seemed her struggles had finally turned into sweetness.
Kane: [Your father also had the rare Rh-negative blood type. So does Killian. Less than a week after your father's accident, Killian underwent a corneal transplant and regained his sight. Don't you think that's too much of a coincidence?]An immense dread immediately enveloped her.But Sheila rationally denied it.Kane, that bastard, was just trying to sow discord. There was no way her father's accident could be related to Killian.Sheila didn't hesitate to drag Kane into her blacklist.“Sheila.”She looked up at the sound and saw Killian, dressed in a dark wool coat, standing under a streetlamp, waving to her.Sheila stared at Killian for a few seconds, then jogged over to him.He opened his coat and pulled her into his embrace. “Are you cold?”She tightened her arms around him. “It’s so warm in your arms.”Killian chuckled softly. “The car’s even warmer. Let&
Half a month later, the revolving restaurant.Augustine, impeccably dressed in a suit, arrived with his assistant to meet investor Mr. D'Arcy in a private room.“Mr. D'Arcy, rest assured about the 'Mortal' IP. We've already finalized talks with the author. Once filming begins, it's guaranteed to be a massive hit across the entire network.” Augustine confidently raised his wine glass, making a big promise to the investor.The investor clinked glasses with him. “I hear many film and television companies are scrambling for the adaptation rights to this work recently. Mr. Sloane, you're truly impressive, there's nothing you can't accomplish.”“Mr. D'Arcy, you flatter me.” Augustine said, beaming with pride. “But securing these rights truly took a lot of effort. The author is a huge fan of our company's Shawn Kilner and insisted that Shawn play the male lead before they'd even consider selling. Coincidentally, Shawn ju
“Of course not. If I didn’t like you even a little, how could I let you get pregnant with our child?” Kane’s long, slender hand gently caressed her bulging belly. “And how I’ve treated you these past days, can’t you feel it?”“But the person you love most is still Sheila.” Jocelyn cried, her eyes red. “Why did you deceive me?”“Do you really think Sheila and I have a chance?” Kane sighed, wiping away her tears with his thumb. “I’m sorry. If you want a divorce now, I won’t stop you. But if you’re willing to stay by my side, I’ll spend my entire life making it up to you.”She pleaded, “Can’t you just completely let go of Sheila? Can’t you just love me?”“I don’t want to lie to you.” Kane choked up slightly, like a child who’d made a mistake, throwing himself into her arms. “I’ve b
Seconds later, Gloria violently kicked the maid. "You bitch, don't you dare slander my Jocelyn!""Enough!" Hogan slammed his hand on the table, rising in a furious rage, roaring at Gloria, "Isn't this humiliating enough? Or do you really want to drag this to the police station and let the whole world know?"Gloria turned away in mortified embarrassment."Killian, Sheila." Hogan's expression was a mix of shame and helplessness. "I'm sorry. I apologize on behalf of them, mother and daughter."To show his sincerity, Hogan even bowed deeply to them."Later today, I'll immediately make a public statement about this on social media. And once Jocelyn recovers, I will personally bring her here to apologize to you.""Please, I beg you not to pursue this further, and not to—" Hogan's voice turned hoarse. "Please… grant her some dignity."Alison, pained for her brother, stepped forward and patted his shoulder.Bernard looked at Sheila and Killian, asking, "Could you give my wife and me some face
Sheila swallowed hard, her gaze darting away nervously. "Why aren't you wearing any clothes?"Killian replied matter-of-factly, "I don't have any spare clothes. I already asked Jerry to bring some over."Sheila: "Couldn't you have just gone home in your original clothes?""It's so late. I'll just r
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
“Sheila Emerson, once a woman passes thirty, she’s just waiting to be picked over. While you still have some assets, hurry up and find a good family to marry into.”Clutching two bottles of Louis XIII, Sheila stood in the noisy club hallway, impatiently saying, “Mom, I have a boyfriend. I’m not goi
