Chapter 361 Learn a Thing Or Two

“I reached out to Paige for help." Bob said, "But Paige is with Chris now and has picked up Chris’ snobbery."All he asked was a favor from Paige, and she was roaring for a whopping fifty-one percent stake. It was clear that Paige was now an opportunist.Linda remained silent.She had not interacted much with Paige and thus did not know what kind of person Paige was. However, she knew Chris—well, not really, but she understood businessmen. Merchants prioritized profit. Someone like Chris, with his status, could not be swayed without enough benefit."Is Quirk Enterprise in bad shape now?" Linda asked Bob.Bob fell silent for a while before saying, "Yeah."His voice carried weariness and fatigue.Linda silently patted Bob on the shoulder.The reason she stuck with this older man, Bob, was for his money and Quirk Enterprise. If Bob handed over shares to Paige, Gene would get very little in the future. With fifty-one percent in Paige's hands, Chris would undoubtedly take control.

Chapter 362 Sierra is Determined to Work Hard

Paige was clueless about whom to learn from, even if she wanted to. Chris raised an eyebrow, saying, "With me as your teacher, who else do you need to look for?"Paige hesitated. A teacher? What kind of teacher?Chris grinned. "I'll teach you..."Paige blinked, utterly confused.…After a considerable amount of time, Paige, with a bright red face, pulled up the blanket to cover herself. She was too embarrassed to face anyone.Chris looked at the bundled girl and chuckled. "Let's call it a day. I'll teach you more tomorrow."Under the covers, Paige was at a loss for words. More lessons tomorrow?“No.” Chris had a change of heart and shook his head. “Let's stick to what we did today. You're still getting the hang of it, and there's much to learn.”Paige stayed silent.“Learning takes time. We can't rush it.” Chris continued, “That’ll only lead to a mess. You need to take it step by step, learn each thing properly, and become an expert.”Paige covered her ears with her ha

Chapter 363 How Would I Know If You Don't Tell Me?

It was consequential that Shelly did not admit it, even if Chris had evidence. As long as Shelly did not, there might be a way out. Otherwise, it would be all over.Rory anxiously waited for Shelly.…Shelly was thrilled to have received Chris's invitation. No matter why Chris asked her out, the fact that he took the initiative to invite her was a rare occurrence in a century. She put on exquisite makeup, wore a dazzling outfit, and happily went to the meeting.Arriving at the club, Shelly, guided by the waiter, entered the private room and opened the door. The first thing Shelly saw was Chris on the sofa, legs crossed, with a cold and aristocratic demeanor. No matter how many times she had seen Chris or how long they had known each other, her heart fluttered every time she looked at Chris.Next, Shelly saw Rory sitting beside him. She hesitated for a moment. Why was Dad here, too? Had Chris not only invited her but also her dad? What was Chris doing with Rory? Shell

Chapter 364 Hoodwinking Shelly

Could Chris not see through her actions to know that she loved him? She could not believe that Chris could not see it. Everyone else did and knew she liked him.Luna and Ann from the Jewells had helped her, playing matchmaker for her and Chris. They even did it so blatantly. Ann had said countless times that Chris should be with her. Being so clever, how could Chris not know?"How could you not know?” Shelly asked, crying. Chris replied, "How am I supposed to know if you never said it?""Now that I'm saying it, what about you? What do you think of me?" Shelly cried. Chris sighed and said, "What else can I think? I'm married to Paige now, and she's carrying my child. What more can I think?"Upon hearing Chris's words, Shelly paused. She blinked and looked at Chris. "If... if you weren't married to Paige, would there still be a chance for us? Would you be with me?" Chris nodded. "Of course. If I were single, anything is possible."‘It was possible to be with him, after a

Chapter 365 Shelly Gets Arrested

Chris cared about his child, not Paige.“I... I didn't mean to.” Shelly looked at Chris with teary eyes and pleaded, “I was worried that if Paige gave birth to your child, her status would be more secure. I was afraid. That’s why I...”Chris asked, “So you threatened Wendy to plot against my child?”“Chris, I was wrong. Can you forgive me?”Chris looked at Shelly, remained silent for a while, and sighed softly, saying, “You shouldn’t have done it.”“Yes, I know,” Shelly said, “But I envy Paige. Why does such an ordinary woman have the right to marry you? Why does she have the right to bear your children? Only I have the qualifications to marry you and have your children.”Chris nodded. “Well, you are indeed outstanding.”Shelly's eyes lit up. “Chris, haven't you thought about it? If we were together, the children we would have would be outstanding and beautiful. Paige, however? She's so ordinary. Having children with her would only tarnish your excellent genes.”Chris frowned s

Chapter 366 Eight Lifetimes of Good Fortune Accumulated

Wendy glanced through the surveillance feed and was taken aback to see several police officers in uniform approaching. Her heart skipped a beat. If one had a clear conscience, they would not be afraid of ghosts knocking at their door. However, she had something to hide, and that made her especially nervous.Yet, fear could not keep her from opening the door. Wendy sighed and greeted the officers with a forced smile, "Officers, can I help you with something?""Are you Ms. Wilson?" One of the officers inquired."Yeah, that's me." Wendy nodded."We have a murder case related to you. Please come with us to the police station to assist in the investigation," the officer explained.Wendy felt a shiver down her spine. A murder case? What murder case?"Officer, what murder case are you talking about? I have no idea," Wendy said, trying to maintain composure despite her racing heart and trembling body.The only people she had harmed were Paige and the child growing inside her belly

Chapter 367 Retaliation

Chris spoke, "Nowadays, people can be treacherous. You're young and naive and can’t see through it all."Paige stared at Chris with a hint of grievance, wondering why every conversation had to turn into a personal attack."Don't look at me like that," Chris continued. "Haven't you heard the trending phrase? 'Guard against fire, theft, and best friends.' Often, the ones plotting against you are the people closest to you."Paige, indignant, retorted, "My best friends are genuine, not like those online backstabbers."Chris smirked. "How can you be so sure? Do you think you're the only smart one who knows her true friends? Do you think others can't see through it? Or are they all more foolish than you?"Paige was left speechless.Chris added, "Your best friends should be happy for you, wishing you well now that you’re married. However, what about yours? Instead of celebrating, they pity you as if you've entered a grave. Isn't that a kind of curse?""Don’t be ridiculous," Paige prote

Chapter 368 Wendy Seeks Help

It was as if he was the one expecting a child.Chris noticed Paige turning her face away, knowing the young girl was upset."Shelly did it." Chris shifted the topic."Huh?" Paige turned back, puzzled, as she looked at Chris. Was she too slow to catch up with Chris's high IQ train of thought? They were talking about her friends. How did Shelly get involved?Moreover, what did Shelly do?Paige hesitated for a moment and suddenly realized. He was talking about..."Did Shelly threaten Ms. Wilson?" Paige asked in surprise.Chris nodded. The girl was not entirely clueless, and she was getting smarter. Was this the effect of being around a clever person like himself? "How did she know about Ms. Wilson and Dan?" Paige asked, curious.Chris said, "Shelly and Wendy happened to work out at the same gym."What a coincidence! Paige thought.Hevensford had numerous high-end gyms, yet Shelly and Ms. Wilson happened to be in the same one. It must have been when Shelly saw Dan and Ms. W

Chapter 369 Sierra Confesses to Paige

Wendy was not pleased after hearing Sierra's words. Did she need someone to take care of her during the later years of her life? In truth, she did not. Even if she lost the divorce case, the money she could get was substantial enough to live comfortably for the rest of her life. With that, could she not retire on her own terms?"Is it meaningful to talk about those distant things now? If you truly care and love me, you should help me with my current predicament," Wendy said, irritated.Sierra fell silent for a moment and then apologized. "Mom, I'm sorry."Holding the phone tightly, Wendy was furious. She knew Sierra did not want to help her."I know you'll have to rely on Paige and Chris in the future. Since you don't want to offend Paige and Chris for my sake, have you thought about whether Paige would even consider you her sister if she knew what you've done to her?" Wendy said coldly.Since Sierra was disregarding the mother-daughter relationship, Wendy decided not to hold

Chapter 370 Best Friends Are To Blame

Chris remained silent. Paige had a point. No one is a saint; everyone harbors some dirty thoughts at some point in their lives. The difference lies in whether those thoughts manifest into actions. Some act on their dark impulses, while others let those thoughts remain just that–thoughts."While Sierra has done many wrong things to me, no matter what, I can't bring myself to hate her. You, growing up showered with love and expectations, might not understand someone like me. I never experienced the warmth of expectations and love at home. I was scolded and used as a punching bag regularly, especially by my mom. Whenever she argued with Dad or Grandpa, she believed it was because of me. Mom made it crystal clear many times that if it weren't for health issues preventing her from aborting me, she would've gotten rid of me long ago. She said other kids were angels sent to repay their parents, while I was a demon seeking revenge. All her misfortunes and disasters were my fault. I was yo
