LOGINMandy was fired from the Ford Group and sentenced to two months in prison. The fans and reporters who had attacked Sheila were also legally sanctioned and compensated her with 100,000for medical expenses and emotional distress.
As the end of the year approached, Sheila and Killian became increasingly busy, and life went on as usual.
The the Ford Group Group's annual meeting was held in the Cloud Ballroom on the highest floor of the capital, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlook
Seconds later, Gloria violently kicked the maid. "You bitch, don't you dare slander my Jocelyn!""Enough!" Hogan slammed his hand on the table, rising in a furious rage, roaring at Gloria, "Isn't this humiliating enough? Or do you really want to drag this to the police station and let the whole world know?"Gloria turned away in mortified embarrassment."Killian, Sheila." Hogan's expression was a mix of shame and helplessness. "I'm sorry. I apologize on behalf of them, mother and daughter."To show his sincerity, Hogan even bowed deeply to them."Later today, I'll immediately make a public statement about this on social media. And once Jocelyn recovers, I will personally bring her here to apologize to you.""Please, I beg you not to pursue this further, and not to—" Hogan's voice turned hoarse. "Please… grant her some dignity."Alison, pained for her brother, stepped forward and patted his shoulder.Bernard looked at Sheila and Killian, asking, "Could you give my wife and me some face
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
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 a
The sky had gone dark. Ben and Sheila, along with a few others, had scoured the entire venue and all the surrounding surveillance footage, but they still hadn’t found a trace of the keycard.According to the surveillance footage, Sheila handed the keycard to Justin and then never left his side.He
Kelsey and Peter simultaneously looked at Kane, whose face was darker than dark, trying their best not to laugh.Peter teased, "Told you not to pretend to be poor when you're not. If you'd just taken a fancy to Sheila, you could've just kept her."Kane glared at him. "What do you know? If I'd told
The girl saw Sheila in the back seat and was equally stunned."This is …" Ben glanced at Killian, "Killian's secretary, Sheila."Marina's gaze swept over the shopping bag Sheila was holding behind her, a slight awkward smile on her face."Hello, I'm Marina Stone, classmates with Ben and Killian fro
