"Pierre." Shelly looked at him with a serious expression."I know, I've always known your feelings for me. In the past, I was wrong, I'm sorry... I didn't cherish you properly. I'm sorry."Shelly's eyes welled up with tears. Pierre looked at Shelly and asked, "What do you want me to do?" Save her? Shelly looked at Pierre and said, "Say you want me."Shelly moved closer to him. Grabbing Pierre's hand, she placed it on her groin.She stared at Pierre and said, "Maybe I'll end up in prison. After a few years behind bars, I'll be worn and aged, Pierre. I'm sorry for these years. I knew you loved me, yet I've taken advantage of you, relishing in your affection without giving anything in return. All I can offer you now is this untouched body."Pierre stared at his hand, placed in a rather inappropriate position. He knew he should pull it back. Shelly's feelings for him were still absent, perhaps now replaced by guilt.Was it to compensate him? Or merely pity for his plight?He s

Pierre fell silent. It's not that he didn't want to. Alfonso Holdings wasn't solely his. It was a legacy built by his ancestors through hard work. If he were to give it away, how would he explain it to his parents and the rest of the Alfonso family?"In reality... you don't seem to love Shelly as much as you imagine. True love involves being willing to sacrifice everything," Paige remarked.Pierre remained silent. He acknowledged that he wasn't ready to give up Alfonso Holdings or risk his life for Shelly. Yet, he truly loved Shelly. It was just not to that extreme extent."Leave," Paige said coldly to Pierre. "I won't forgive Shelly. She must face the legal consequences for her actions."Pierre glanced at Paige, understanding that there was no room for negotiation. He left, feeling defeated.Paige laughed coldly. What a fool.…In the evening, Chris returned home.He asked, "I heard that Pierre came this afternoon?""Yes, he did," Paige nodded. "Who did you hear that from

However, Shelly's choice of Pierre was driven by her desire to maintain a life of luxury. She didn't want Pierre to defy his family or make foolish decisions for her sake.Shelly was born into wealth, so she couldn't fathom living an ordinary life. Such a lifestyle would be unbearable for her.If she bore a child from the Phoenix family, it would add another bargaining chip for her to use.…Paige's recovery had progressed well. The doctor checked on her and the pregnancy every day. Finally, the doctor said she could start moving around a bit.Paige was delighted to hear this news. During this period, she felt like she was developing bed sores from all the rest. It felt like she was always either sleeping or eating. Even when she tried not to sleep, she'd end up dozing off while reading novels on her phone.Paige took a stroll in the garden, accompanied by a nurse. As she walked, she noticed the large gate opening, and a car slowly pulling in. It looked like Niel's car. After

Owen wanted to say that Bob needed to rely on Justin for support in his old age, but he suddenly remembered that Bob already had a son. He angrily bit his tongue.How hateful! He hated Linda, he hated Gene.If it weren't for Linda giving birth to Gene, everything in the Quirks would belong to Justin in the future."No matter. My daughter may lack filial piety, but she hasn't harmed me," Bob said coldly.Owen remained silent, unable to respond."Bob," Mildred pleaded, looking at Bob. "Believe me on this. Justin truly didn't mean to do this. He didn't mean to harm you. So please give Justin another chance."Bob ignored Mildred and turned to Owen. He said, "You can leave. No matter what you say, I won't drop the charges.""How can you be like this? You heartless creature! Wealthy people are scum! You're nothing but a bystander! Curse you!" Ellen Lawson—Owen's wife—angrily cursed.Bob frowned and said to the housekeeper, "Please escort the guests out."The housekeeper approached

Nina looked at Luna.Luna smiled and said, "Nina, please don't think that Paige's not attending your welcome banquet to disrespect you. The truth is, Paige's situation makes my brother extremely worried. Now that she's pregnant, my brother is treating her like a delicate treasure, afraid she might fall or melt. He's being overly cautious. He even said that with so many people at the banquet, what would he do if someone accidentally bumps into Paige?"Nina forced a smile and replied, "It's okay. I understand. I heard that Paige's condition isn't too good."Luna continued smiling. "Paige is fine; it's just my brother being overly protective."Nina's smile on her face became even more strained. Was Chris so in love with Paige? What was it about Paige that captivated him so much? She couldn't fathom it.Nina said, "I'll visit Paige when I have some free time."Luna chuckled, "That might not be possible. My brother is keeping a close eye on my sister-in-law now. Most people aren't all
