LOGIN"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 said resolutely, "Anyway, we should go our separate ways from now on. Don't contact me again."
Impossible.
Kane suddenly chuckled, a sound laced with anger.
"You'd even resort to a lie like that just to force me?"
"Sheila, why do you have to be like this? What lengths won't you go to, just to make me marry you?"
Just then, her ride-hailing car arrived. The driver leaned out of the window. "Are you user 7658, miss?"
"Yes."
Sheila ignored Kane, yanked open the car door, and quickly got in.
She had lived in that place for five years, and she had a lot of belongings, even though Sheila had already decluttered and thrown a lot away last night.
So she booked a moving company.
Sheila had originally rented the apartment, and the lease still had over a month left. She had planned to marry Kane and move into a new house, so she hadn't renewed it.
It worked out perfectly now.
She informed the landlord that she wouldn't be staying after the lease expired, and that Kane would pick up the remaining items in the apartment. She also gave the landlord his phone number so that he could contact him with any subsequent issues.
When she arrived at Star River Bay 08, Sheila had planned to ask the movers for help, but the bodyguard at the door recognized her. "Mrs. Ford, just leave the things to us."
The address "Mrs. Ford" sounded especially strange to Sheila's ears.
She was stunned for a moment. "Oh, okay, thank you."
The two bodyguards helped carry the items inside, and soon the housekeeper, Josefina, came with the maids to help.
"Madam, should we put those things in the bedroom?"
Sheila quickly pointed to two of the suitcases. She asked, puzzled, "Um, has Killian told you about the marriage registration?"
Josefina smiled kindly. "Yes, Mr. Ford has arranged everything."
"Also, Madam, please tell me if you need anything else."
Sheila was once again amazed by Killian's efficiency.
She thought for a moment and then asked, "Did he say which room I'm staying in?"
Josefina: "Hm? You're staying in the same room as Mr. Ford, of course."
"......"
Sheila had initially thought they would only have a contractual marriage, perhaps with that kind of demand, but she was, in fact, only working for Killian in a different way.
So she was already surprised when Killian asked her to move in during the day. Now that she realized they were going to sleep together, she found it even more incredible.
So what was the difference between their arranged marriage and a real marriage?
Strangers in bed?
Sheila still couldn't figure out why Killian wanted to marry her.
Now it felt like she had slept with him and he was forcing her to take responsibility.
Her personal belongings were moved into the master bedroom. Josefina had wanted to go into the master bedroom to tidy up for her, but Sheila refused.
She really wasn't used to being waited on.
Sheila looked at Killian's large bed, which was both big and soft, and the four-piece set used was of excellent quality.
Her mind inexplicably conjured up an image of Killian lying on the bed. Realizing this, she actually felt a twinge of guilt towards Kane.
He was the one who deceived and toyed with her feelings first, and they had already broken up.
She didn't owe him anything.
Life was still beautiful, and she had her own pursuits, so she must get out of this relationship as soon as possible.
So Sheila began to pack her belongings with renewed energy.
Originally, she was a little awkward about where to put her things, but she didn't expect that a space had been cleared out in the walk-in closet and the bathroom, as if it had been specially reserved for her.
Killian's servants were too meticulous in their work, weren't they?
When Sheila opened the closet, she suddenly noticed a pale green jacket in the cleared space.
It was definitely not something Killian would wear.
Out of curiosity, Sheila took it out to take a look.
It was a small women's size, washed white, but very clean and with a faint scent of laundry detergent.
Why would Killian keep such an old piece of clothing?
While wondering, Sheila noticed the English word "Angel" written on the sleeve of the jacket.
Could this be Killian's ex-girlfriend or first love?
Other than that, she really couldn't find a reason for the dignified president to keep such an old piece of clothing.
Rumor had it that Killian was not interested in women, but his performance that night......
So he was probably always thinking about a girl he had been thinking about for a long time, so he was not interested in the women who threw themselves at him.
As for her, it could only be said to be an accident!
After all, he was almost thirty years old, and he still had normal physiological needs, so he had a contractual divorce with her.
When the three-year period was over, other younger girls would replace her.
Thinking like this, Sheila also felt that this cooperation was quite open and honest, just a matter of mutual needs.
Killian did not return for dinner, and Sheila sent a message to Justin.
"Sister, Mr. Ford took Mandy to a business cocktail party."
"Are you looking for Mr. Ford?"
Sheila replied that it was nothing. Justin replied with a message after a long time.
"Sister, I'm sorry about what happened that night. I… I left before you did. Are you okay?"
That was just the way things were in the workplace. There was not so much heroism. It was a good colleague if they didn't make things difficult for you. Sheila didn't blame him.
"It's okay."
"I'm sorry, sister. Oh, by the way, Eric was reported for using banned drugs that night, and he's been locked up for days. Was it you who called the police?"
Was there such a thing?
It was really God who opened his eyes!
"I don't know. I left not long after you guys left."
"Oh, that bastard Eric really deserves it! And I heard that he was bailed out yesterday and got beaten up. One of his fingers was broken and he's in the hospital now!"
Sheila froze.
What a coincidence?
She recalled that she had been sexually harassed at work before, and later it was like someone was helping her from behind.
Could it be Kane?
Impossible, he didn't even know she was there that night.
So was it Killian?
Even more impossible, Killian didn't even know her before.
People like Eric had offended many people, so it was not surprising that he got beaten up.
“M… Mr. Ford.”A deafening clang echoed from the other end of the line. Abby had clearly fallen off her chair in terror, probably already composing her own epitaph.“It’s a mis… misunderstanding.” Her voice trembled so violently it was barely audible. “I was just discussing work with Miss Emerson… I lost control of my emotions for a moment, got carried away.”Killian tapped the back of his phone with his long, elegant fingers. His voice was as cold as ice. “Discussing work? I’ve never heard of physical assault being part of a work discussion.”“Heh~” He chuckled softly, but the sound sent shivers down Abby’s spine. “Do enlighten me. What did you mean by ‘broken toy’?”Looking at the man's taut profile, Sheila felt a strange warmth bloom in her chest.He was standing up for her so openly, without even trying to hide it.
Sheila slipped into the car, finding Killian already asleep, exhausted.But the moment she made a sound, he snapped awake. "Taken care of it."Sheila nodded. "Yeah, perfectly resolved."The Maybach glided smoothly along the city streets, the car's interior unusually quiet.Sheila wasn't exactly known for being a chatterbox, but when she was in a good mood, she could be quite the chatter.Killian glanced at her out of the corner of his eye. "Didn't you say it was perfectly resolved? Why are you still so listless?""Huh?" Sheila looked a little surprised. "I'm not listless, just a little tired."Killian: "Still angry about being transferred to Orange Entertainment?"Sheila hadn't expected Killian to be so perceptive. She was only a little colder than usual, but he could already sense it.The truth was, she had a lot she wanted to say to him, but she didn't want to keep pouring more of her feelings onto him like this.
Amy had seen it all. There was no point in denying it. "Yes," she admitted plainly."The rumors said you two had broken up, that's why you were exiled to Orange Entertainment. That wasn't true?" Amy exclaimed, "You guys are actually still together?""Keep your voice down," Sheila hissed, "Don't tell anyone else about this."Amy nodded emphatically. "Does Mr. Cole know?"Sheila: "Yes.""Oh!" Amy pressed on, "Is the reason you don't want anyone else to know because you want to build your own foundation at Orange Entertainment, prove your strength? So people will stop thinking of you as just a pretty face?"Sheila pressed the elevator button. "You could think of it that way."The truth was, Sheila believed that with enough power, you didn't need to prove anything.It was just a marriage of convenience, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better.She was just a substitute, a mere substitute!It would save trou
Sheila fixed her with a piercing gaze, a chilling smile spreading across her face.“Informants revealed this? Did you verify it?”The female reporter squirmed under her scrutiny, forcing herself to say, “Of course…”“Of course what?” Sheila cut her off sharply. “Of course you verified it? Ha! In that case, Orange Entertainment’s legal team will have no choice but to issue a lawyer’s letter to your publication.”The female reporter choked, silencing the other reporters present.Abby, lurking in the distance, had planned to step in, but Sheila’s swift and ruthless tactic had seized control of the situation.She’d underestimated this woman.She pulled out her phone, sending messages to the reporters she’d planted.“Don’t be afraid, she’s just trying to intimidate you! She just came from Alexis’s place today; she's definitely on his side.”“Cheryl is the vulnerable party. Netizens will naturally sympathize with her more.”
No. 8 Star River Bay.After Nicole arrived, she realized that Sheila and Killian weren't there. She quickly called Sheila, but no one answered after the phone rang for a while.So she sent a voice message: "Sheila, come home early tonight and have dinner with Mom."She was about to call Killian when he walked in.Nicole asked, puzzled, "Sheila? Didn't she come back with you?"Killian glanced at the time. It was already past eight. Orange Entertainment's closing time should be six."She must have something to take care of."Nicole was displeased. "You, the boss, are already back. What could she, as your assistant, possibly have to do?"Killian changed his shoes and casually slumped onto the sofa. "She's not my assistant anymore. She went to Orange Entertainment.""Orange Entertainment?" Nicole's eyes narrowed slightly. "Isn't that Sebastian's company? How did she end up there? What position? Did she ask for it, or did you
He had the audacity to complain after messing things up himself.Sheila struggled to keep her cool. "Right now, Cheryl's demand is for you to publicly apologize in the media, announce your retirement, and end your directing career to prevent you from harming other girls.""WHAT DID YOU SAY?!"Alexis slammed his fist on the table, making them jump.Sheila and Amy were both startled."Didn't Yang promise me they'd take care of that woman?!"Alexis was losing it."I've made so much money for the company over the years. Why are you treating me like this?!"Sheila tried to calm him down. "Relax... who told you to..."Then, he turned on them, roaring and shoving."GET OUT!!""GET OUT!! I'll NEVER apologize to that bitch, and I'm NOT retiring!!!"Sheila and Amy stumbled back in fear.Then, Alexis shoved Sheila hard, sending her crashing into the glass partition by the entryway.With a "CRASH!"
