But a corporation as large as the Ford Group occasionally needed certain unconventional methods, so Sheila had dealt with them twice before.
Perhaps feeling guilty, they had already guessed her purpose upon seeing Sheila.
Especially after seeing the several bodyguards behind her who looked like mercenaries, their faces turned pale with frig
Sheila had already devised a foolproof plan. "Delete those photos, and all the dirt. As long as you delete them, I'll delete the evidence on my end too."Augustine: "What if I delete them and you don't? Do you think I'm an idiot?""Do you think everyone's as despicable as you?" Sheila scoffed. "No trust at all, and you want to make a deal?"Augustine pondered for a moment, then unlocked his phone. "It's all in the cloud drive. I'll delete it.""Saying you've deleted it isn't enough. How do I know if you have other backups?" Sheila retrieved a prepared confidentiality agreement from her suit pocket and pushed it toward Augustine."This is a mutual deletion agreement with clear third-party notarization clauses. We'll destroy all the materials simultaneously under the supervision of a notary, with the entire process recorded." She tapped the last page of the agreement with her finger. "If Party B (Augustine) damages Party A's (Catherine) reputation or interests in any way in the future,
"Got it," Sheila's nonchalant reply instantly stalled Abby.A sharp inhale echoed from the other end of the phone. "Don't tell me you're backing out?""No," Sheila reassured her. "What they said wasn't wrong. Catherine was indeed lured away by me. She's about to return to Orange Entertainment soon."Abby was stunned. Before she could ask anything, Sheila hung up.Then, Sheila contacted Augustine. "Aren't you looking for Catherine? Come on, meet me at the usual place."After sending the message, Sheila realized the car had turned onto the road leading to Rosewood Garden.She raised an eyebrow. "Uncle Jerry, have you forgotten that I live in Orange Entertainment's dorm?"Killian, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them. His gaze darkened slightly. "You still want to live in the dorm?"Sheila argued logically, "The dorm is closer to Orange Entertainment, which is much more convenient. I can sleep at least twenty more minutes in the morning."Jerry glanced at the r
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
Time seemed to freeze.In the silent bedroom, only their breaths and heartbeats echoed.Sheila felt like she was about to be swallowed whole by Killian's intense, passionate gaze.Just as he was about to kiss her, Sheila snapped back to reality and once again covered his lips with her hands.Killia
The sight of her turned the girls pale with fear.Kane, listening to Sheila scolding the gossiping girls, wore an amused smile on his face.After work, as Sheila drove past the mall, she recalled the girls' words from earlier and wondered if she was making Killian lose face.But she'd refused the 5
Even knowing his motives were impure, a blatant facade, Sheila found herself without a retort.Seeing her calm face, her eyes filled with disgust, a morbid satisfaction welled up within him.Even hatred, even anger, was better than the empty indifference in those beautiful eyes of hers.That apathe
"Ugh, I'm gonna go take a shower."Sheila slammed her laptop shut, wriggled free from his embrace, and fled upstairs like she was escaping a monster.Back in her room, she rummaged through the closet for clothes, her eyes instinctively drifting to the section where Killian hung his things.It had b
