Kane, as Rory Maxwell's only son, was his most prized possession and would be the sole heir to the Maxwell Group.

Therefore, Rory was extremely strict with Kane from a young age, but the stricter he was, the more rebellious Kane became.

It wasn't until three years ago, when his mother passed away and Rory brought back the two illegitimate sons he had outside, that Kane realized his position as heir could be taken away at any time.

Rory patted Kane on the shoulder, satisfied, "You're getting mor

    Kane immediately spoke up to diffuse the awkwardness. "Jocelyn might have been in a bad mood last night, which led to her wronging Auntie. I should be the one to apologize on her behalf."Saying this, he rose and gave a slight bow to Sheila. "Auntie, I apologize to you on behalf of Jocelyn. I am truly sorry, and I hope you won't hold it against her."However, Kane's feigned humility and false pretense made Sheila almost gag.Had he been putting on such an act every day these past few days in front of the Pink family?Actually, now that the misunderstanding was cleared up, Sheila couldn't be bothered to argue with them.But they always defended Jocelyn like this, not even letting her come out to apologize herself. Such indulgence would only make her increasingly reckless and arrogant.Just as Sheila was about to speak, Killian was one step ahead. "Shouldn't Jocelyn be the one to apologize? She's an adult. She should personally visit to apolog

    Jocelyn's face went pale. Subconsciously, her gaze darted to Kane for his reaction.However, catching the barely perceptible flicker of disdain in his eyes, her heart ached with both pain and anger."Yes, I did turn off the surveillance. So what does that prove? Does it prove I threw myself into the pool just to frame her?"Hogan snapped, "It's come to this, and you still won't tell the truth?"Jocelyn retorted, annoyed, "Dad, I'm pregnant! Am I really such an irresponsible person in your eyes that I'd risk two lives just to frame her?""Fine! If you don't believe me, just acknowledge Sheila as your daughter and disown me!"Jocelyn's words grew increasingly absurd, infuriating Hogan. "Then tell me the truth, daughter, what exactly happened?""Enough! Say no more! Her body hasn't fully recovered yet, don't provoke her anymore!"Gloria pushed Hogan with both hands. "Get out! Whatever it is, it can wait until tomorrow. Let Jocelyn

    Sheila'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

    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

    Sheila struggled to process this for a moment, before finally asking, "Why? Just because of last night…"But Killian didn't answer her, only stared at her silently, his gaze like he was looking at… prey?Killian had looked at her with that same look last night.It couldn't help but remind her of th
