LOGINSheila 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
The once-glamorous Dawson father and daughter now looked haggard."Mr. Ford, that night was just a misunderstanding," Dawson's Adam's apple bobbed. "We've already punished Lucy for what she did. Please, for the sake of our long-standing partnership, spare Eric.""Dawson, we're old friends, but your son-in-law only brings endless trouble to DM Group. Wouldn't dealing with him solve your biggest problem?"Killian's tone was icy. "In my opinion, our cooperation would be much more beneficial without Eric."Camille stepped forward, her voice trembling. "Mr. Ford, that night was an accident. We only wanted to distract Miss Emerson so you could have some fun. We never intended to hurt her.""Also, Lucy acted alone in tampering with your cigarette. We knew nothing about it.""Please, spare Eric.""Is that so?" Killian's eyes flashed with chilling light. "But what I've discovered is that you ordered your two bodyguards to 'entertain' my girlfr
Camille fumbled to untie Sheila, "Miss Emerson, you have to help us explain to Mr. Ford. We really didn't mean any harm. It was just a joke.""Believe me, Miss Emerson."She didn't even believe that herself.What kind of circuits did these foreigners have in their brains? Did they really think the two of them were fools?The rope slipped to the carpet. Sheila didn't even have time to find her shoes. Barefoot, she tried her best to avoid the broken glass and rushed out.However, the glass shards on the ground still stabbed her painfully, but all she could think about was Killian.He looked pale; she was afraid something would happen to him.Sheila ran all the way back to the banquet hall, finally guided by the bodyguards."Killian!"Killian looked up and saw her running towards him. The tight string inside him finally loosened.Then, Killian's strong arm wrapped around Sheila.When the gun pointed at Eric's
Before Camilla could finish her sentence, two black-suited bodyguards suddenly emerged from the bathroom corner, blocking Sheila's retreat on either side.Sheila's heart tightened. Instinctively, she reached for the stun gun in her bag, but saw Camilla pull a delicate little handgun from her purse."Don't move." Camilla gently tapped the gun barrel in her direction, her smile elegant yet manic. "Eric always says Eastern girls are smart. Guess how soundproof this villa is?"A chill ran down Sheila's spine. Her eyes quickly scanned the security camera at the end of the hallway.She forced herself to remain calm: "Mrs. Camilla, have you checked how many years the sentence is for kidnapping with a gun in Germany?""Who's kidnapping anyone?" Camilla used the gun barrel to lift a strand of hair from Sheila's ear. "It's just that Miss Emerson accidentally tripped and fainted in the bathroom."A black-suited bodyguard forcefully struck the back of S
As she leaned over to pour wine, the front of her sexy halter dress bulged high, offering a tantalizing glimpse.Even Sheila almost had a nosebleed, but Killian, completely oblivious, averted his gaze, a perfect gentleman.This tactic... so vulgar it was almost comical.The moment Sheila and Killian locked eyes, she almost couldn't suppress the smile that threatened to break out on her face.Killian, however, remained as calm and collected as ever.Seeing that Killian wasn't taking the bait, Eric turned his attention to Sheila with a playful look. "Alice, fill Sheila’s glass to the brim too. Miss Emerson is a great drinker. Let loose tonight! Ford always has people to take care of him."He was provoking her and, more importantly, giving Killian a blatant hint: tonight, these beauties are yours for the taking.But as Alice was about to pour wine for Sheila, Killian's palm immediately covered the glass. "She took some medicine for
Sheila, feeling responsible, didn't want to make things difficult for Killian. She reached out and pressed the back of his hand. "I can go. Mr. Dawson's invitation is so sincere, how can we keep refusing?"Killian frowned.Dawson, on the other end, had already heard Sheila's voice. "Miss Emerson, we'll be expecting you both then."Sheila responded softly, "Alright, Mr. Dawson. Mr. Ford and I will definitely be there tonight."The call ended. Killian closed his laptop and pulled Sheila onto his lap. "Aren't you afraid Eric will pull some trick? It's no big deal if we don't go."Sheila wrapped her arms around his neck. "You've helped me a lot with my problems, so I want to help you with yours.""Besides, you're there, aren't you? I don't think they can do anything to me."gently pinched the soft, fair flesh of her cheek. "When did you start trusting me this much?"Sheila gave a shallow smile. "You were willing to risk your life f
The next afternoon, Amy accompanied Catherine to Berlin.Sheila and Killian, leading them, arrived at the educational institution where Carl was.Seeing Carl, Catherine's emotions collapsed again. Their argument escalated, and Catherine lost control, attacking Carl.Sheila and Amy initially wanted to intervene, but upon entering the conference room, they saw Carl pinned to the ground by Catherine, his face bruised and swollen.Carl wailed, pleading for help."Save me! Get this crazy woman off me!""Argh!!""Carl, you can die!! You bastard!!"Sheila and Killian exchanged glances, then nonchalantly closed the door.Half an hour later, Catherine emerged, wearing sunglasses, silent but unusually calm, and entered the elevator.Killian must have spoken to the owner of the educational institution because, as they left, they overheard him saying to Carl: "You're fired."Carl howled in despair: "What did they say t
They locked eyes in silence.After a moment, Sheila slowly said, "You drank too much last night."Killian instinctively explained, "Regan and the others were messing around, kept pouring me drinks."Sheila blinked. "Oh.""I'll get up first."Killian immediately
"If she were here, I wouldn't be constantly thinking about what to do after the three-year agreement expires," Killian muttered, downing a small glass of liquor.Regan sighed. "Turns out, there's a woman even Mr. Ford can't handle."Three years ago, he'd attended a business event. Sheila was an int
"Mm." Sheila hesitated for a moment before saying, "About the twenty million ransom I asked you to raise before, I burned it all. I'll take responsibility for this."Killian frowned. "Responsibility? How?""Wait for me a sec." Sheila scurried out, returning with a file folder from her desk.Killian
Lauren's face drained of all color. Her phone clattered to the ground."No way!""It's impossible."She muttered to herself, then frantically pounded on the heavy iron gate. "Kane, get out here!! I need to see Kane! Let me in!"Just then, thunder boomed, and a torrential downpour began.An hour la
