Shelly had been bombarded with all sorts of nasty comments and judgments the past few days. Once a person celebrated by friends, she now faced relentless criticism from both men and women. Some even went so far as to insult her with money, inviting her to fool around with them for a price.Shelly was furious.She knew leaving the Shepards would put her in a tough spot, but she never expected it to be that difficult. It had not been long since she left home, and her former friends were already treating her like that.The future looked bleak.Pierre, who now lived with Shelly, experienced a similar downfall. Those who once praised him were now turning their backs on him, but he took it in stride. He saw it as an opportunity to distinguish between genuine friends and fair-weather companions.Pierre was content.Living with Shelly, like a married couple, felt like a dream come true. "Hey, darling." Pierre approached Shelly, embraced her, and asked with a smile, "What do you feel

Caught off guard, Wendy stared at Sierra. She had not expected Sierra to think that far ahead."I wanted to manage your assets because I trust I wouldn't take a penny from you, but I don't trust anyone else. However, it seems you prefer to trust those so-called intermediaries and financial advisors over your daughter." Sierra expressed her frustration and sadness.Wendy hurriedly explained, "No, Sierra, it's not that. I just…”Sierra looked at Wendy and asked, "Just what?"Wendy opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found herself at a loss for words. In reality, she feared Sierra might have an eye on her wealth because she knew Sierra was not happy with the dowry she provided, finding it inadequate.Sierra had not explicitly mentioned it, but being Sierra's mother, Wendy understood her daughter's thoughts and actions perfectly. To Wendy, it was not about Sierra coveting her wealth; it was because that was all she had left. Having divorced Bob, relying on her family

That incomprehensible sense of comparison left Paige at a loss for words."Well, you see…” Chris stared at Paige, saying, "The reason you had all that stew last night was a hint, wasn't it? A hint about Niel's caring attentiveness to Tina, suggesting Tina has stew to savor while you didn’t."Paige fell into a brief silence.She observed Chris, wondering if he was overanalyzing the situation."I have some type of stew every day," Paige explained.Due to her pregnancy and Tina's recent miscarriage, both needed to have nourishing food to fortify their health. Consequently, there would be some type of stew at dinner almost daily."That's not the same," Chris insisted. "Niel had specially instructed the kitchen to make Tina's beef stew. Since Tina has a husband who personally directs the kitchen to make her food, you must have your husband personally instructing the kitchen to make you something too."Paige genuinely did not know how to respond.It was just stew. Whether personally

Paige pouted and said, "Why is he worried about me? I'm a good girl, you know."Sierra could not help but laugh at Paige's adorable expression. Paige must be leading a happy life to look so cute, even more so than when she was with the Quirks.What was Paige like with the Quirks?She was silent and reserved, sometimes not uttering a word for the whole day. Her presence was so quiet and unassuming that Sierra forgot she existed at home many times.Sierra sighed, never expecting that her mistakes would lead Paige to such happiness. She did regret it, but what good was regret? No one could turn back time, and she could not have a second chance like the female protagonists in novels.Hence, no matter how much she regretted it, it was useless. Now, she could only hold onto the present.Paige looked at Sierra, thinking the latter did not believe her, and asked Chris, "Do you think I'm a good girl?"Chris cast Paige a glance before nodding at Sierra. "Yep, she's a good girl."Pa

Chris looked at her. "What's up? Are you doubting my skills?"Paige hesitated.Chris gazed at Paige and said, "Be it the capability to conceive or raise the children, I've got them all."Paige remained silent as she pondered what he meant. After all, only she could conceive and be pregnant… When Paige realized what he meant, she blushed and glared at Chris with a mix of embarrassment and annoyance.Why did he have to be so straightforward, especially when Sierra and Nina were around? What would they think?In reality, Sierra and Nina did not think much of it. They were just envious of Chris and Paige's relationship and their "skills" to have ten kids!They were drooling with envy!"Get lost," Paige said shyly."Sure, I'm out," Chris said good-naturedly with a smile and went upstairs with his computer.Sierra and Nina just watched as Chris left, shocked that Chris did as Paige said.Nina felt conflicted. On one hand, she hoped Chris would leave so that she would not have t
