تسجيل الدخولThe city lights twinkled as the massive cruise ship, like a colossal building, glided across the placid sea.Besides Ben and Killian, they had invited several friends, including Marina, and a few men and women whom Sheila didn't immediately recognize.However, her mental database contained information on them all.One was named Regan Sterling, the founder of the largest law firm in the capital. Another was Brian Simmons, the son of a Hongde University trustee. And then there was the mega-star, Sebastian Cole.Regan and Brian both brought female companions, and Ben also brought his girlfriend, Olly, a stunning Australian beauty.Sheila had never known Ben had a girlfriend, assuming he was single.However, the moment Sheila and Sunny boarded, they were captivated by Sebastian, nearly bursting into squeals of delight.He had debuted in a boy band after participating in a talent show, later venturing into the film industry. Now, he was a
Upon hearing those words, Kane felt as though he'd been struck by a hammer, his inner defenses crumbling in an instant.He abruptly raised his head, tears welling up and overflowing, his hands scrambling to cover his face, desperately trying to hide the uncontrolled cascade. "How could you choose Killian? I'm the one who loves you with all my heart!""Killian is only interested in you for a fleeting moment." His voice trembled, laced with endless pain and resentment.To make him give up completely, Sheila bit her lip, resolutely declaring, "We both get what we want from each other. He can give me the life I desire."A flicker of despair flashed in Kane's eyes, and he urgently said, "I can give that to you too. Everything, except marriage."Sheila's lips curved into a bitter smile, filled with mockery. "Give me what? Make me a mistress, someone who can't be seen in the light of day? Or a lover?"Kane seemed choked, and after a moment, he reto
Sheila was also stunned.She had thought Kane was with her behind Lauren's back.Now it seemed Lauren might have known about her existence for a long time.But after all, Lauren was his proper fiancée, while she had been with Kane for five years. What difference was there between her and a mistress?Sheila felt like she had eaten shit, and she couldn't even lift her head in front of Lauren.Seeing Sheila's distress, Sunny quickly comforted her, "It's not your fault. You're a victim too. Anyway, we'll try to avoid places where Kane is in the future. As for his fiancée, we probably won't see her again."Sheila looked at Sunny with a lifeless expression."Lauren is the daughter of Killian's maternal uncle.""What?" Sunny was shocked. "Isn't your mother-in-law surnamed Maxwell?"Sheila said, "The relationships in these wealthy families are a bit complicated. Killian has two maternal uncles. One of them, from th
Sheila quickly retracted her gaze and turned Sunny's face back as well."From now on, pretend you don't know him when you see him. The Kane we knew died a long time ago."Although Sunny didn't yet know about Kane's sudden marriage proposal and the fact that the two had ended up at the police station, she strongly supported Sheila's approach."Okay."However, Kane, on the other side, panicked instinctively when he saw Sheila.But he quickly recovered. He was dressed like that, with Lauren on his arm, and Sheila had clearly seen him.Yet her expression was so calm, as if they were strangers.So Kelsey was right, she had known his identity all along.He suddenly remembered how, for the past few months, he had deliberately put on a waiter's uniform and appeared before Sheila to avoid revealing his identity, even pretending to be Kelsey's poor assistant…Was she not exposing him in order to take revenge, to let him dan
Killian took the string of fairy lights from Sheila and hung them up."I'll try my best, but if we're exposed, you clean up the mess yourself."Sheila was full of confidence: "How could we be? As long as we cooperate well, we definitely won't be exposed."After working for more than an hour, the Christmas tree finally looked presentable.Sheila happily turned on the lights on the tree.The moment the twinkling lights came on, the entire cold-toned living room suddenly became dreamy and vibrant.Sheila looked at the Christmas tree and exclaimed, "Wow, it's so beautiful!"Killian's gaze unconsciously lingered on Sheila's face until she turned her head to look at him with a smile. "Killian, Merry Christmas!""Killian?" he teased suddenly, "What did you say you would call me at home?"Sheila's smile faltered.Killian?She couldn't bring herself to say it after a few tries, and later it became Killian.At that moment, Nicole arrived.Sheila quickly avoided the topic.Nicole came in holding
Sheila was slightly taken aback.Mandy knew about her relationship with Killian?How did she find out?Sheila glanced around and whispered tentatively, "You know?"Mandy raised her eyes with a look of disdain, "So it's true! How can you be so hypocritical, acting all high and mighty in front of everyone, but seducing Mr. Ford behind their backs. It's disgusting."What seducing?How could she say it so harshly?Sheila retorted, "I didn't seduce him. We... we were an accident?"The word "accident" contained too much information for Mandy. In a few seconds, she had imagined all sorts of scenarios.With a look of shock on her face, she said, "Accident? You wouldn't happen to be implying that Mr. Ford got drunk and slept with you, would you?""Heavens! You've already slept together? You're so shameless, Sheila!""I really underestimated you."Sheila: "..."So, Mandy didn't know that she and Killian were married. She probably mistakenly thought she was Killian's mistress.Sheila breathed a
