"Too far? Me? You're the one who's gone too far. You never loved me, so you shouldn't have taken any of this stuff."Watching the house slowly empty out, Shirley couldn't help but shake her head. All these years, she had given Oscar so many things. And what did he do? He clearly didn't have feelings for her, but he always accepted every single gift she gave.She should have figured out sooner that Oscar didn't love her and chosen someone else to love. As the Bishops' heiress, she was born to enjoy life, not let her heart get trampled on."What…" Oscar was so furious that he couldn't even finish his sentence. "You're cold, I'll give you that. I won't forgive you for this! If you come begging—""Relax. That day will never come."Once most of the things were gone, Shirley felt a little weight lift from her chest. She looped her arm through Jamie's and let go of the grudges from her past life, little by little."Let's go, honey."That single word made Jamie's heart leap. He looked d

Meanwhile, at the Millers'.It was Myra and Oscar's wedding night, but he hadn't come back to the bedroom.She'd asked him countless times, but he just told her to not wait up."I can't sleep alone. Tonight's our wedding night… Aren't you coming to bed with me?"She was wearing the skimpy sleepwear she had picked out earlier, walking across the study in her bare feet.Seeing his handsome face, she bit her lip and slowly leaned against him, pressing her body to his back. Softly, she whispered, "Oscar… Honey…"The word "Honey" snapped him to attention.He turned to look at her—so delicate and tempting in that outfit. And yet, all he could think about was Shirley.Oscar felt like he was losing his mind.He reminded himself that he had always loved Myra, and he couldn't let one photo from Shirley make him treat Myra this way.He spun around and lifted her into his arms."I'm sorry. I shouldn't leave you alone on our wedding night. Let's go to the bedroom now."Myra had set the

"M-Mr. And Mrs. Miller!" The servant jumped, shaking her head frantically. "I didn't say anything! You must have heard wrongly."By now, Myra's expression turned gloomy. She bit her lip hard and growled, "Gossiping behind your boss's backs, huh? Is that what the Bishops paid you to do?"Even though the Bishops' servants didn't really take Myra seriously, they didn't want Shirley to find out, so they quickly scattered.But Oscar's mind was already stirred.Meanwhile, Shirley and Jamie were laughing as they came down the stairs together.When they passed by Oscar and Myra, Shirley didn't even glance their way."Shirley."Oscar couldn't hold back anymore. He grabbed her hand.The moment he moved, Jamie's sharp eyes shot straight toward him. "Let go of her."Oscar ignored him. "Shirley, can we talk?""Talk? About what, your marriage life with Myra?"Her words stabbed Oscar like a knife.He looked at her, pleading. "Please… just ten minutes. That's all I need. Let's talk.""I h

The living room fell silent. Shirley frowned, a wave of sadness flickering in her eyes.Noticing her mood shift, Jamie reached for her hand. "What's on your mind? Is it about what Myra said? You shouldn't let her words get to you.""Oh, that doesn't bother me at all." Shirley lifted her gaze, her voice calm. "She thinks her life's been miserable all these years, but she has no idea how hard things are for the kids in the orphanage. She grew up within the family, having everything she could want—food, clothes, a nice home, and tens of thousands every month to spend. Regular families don't even make that in a year!"In her eyes, we've wronged her, just because she compares herself to me. But there's no point in comparing. I'm the real daughter of the Bishops—everything Dad has is mine. She just doesn't know her place and isn't grateful."Jamie smiled, impressed. "Not bad. You've really got life all figured out."Shirley smiled faintly, saying nothing. Of course, she had everything f

Everyone froze, and the private room went completely silent.Oscar slowly lifted his eyes to look at the woman in front of him, only to see a burning hatred blazing in her gaze."Wake up already! I'll say this one last time—I don't love you, and I don't have any feelings for you! I love my husband, Jamie! He's the only one for me, now and forever! If you keep harassing me, we won't even be friends!"George and Theo exchanged a glance. They'd never seen Shirley this furious before."Have I made myself clear?" Shirley asked, her voice sharp."I don't believe you." Oscar shook his head, unwilling to accept it.Shirley wiped her hands and tossed the tissue into the trash."I don't care whether you believe me. I won't stop you if you wanna keep being delusional. But from now on, consider us strangers!" she spat before walking away.Oscar tore himself from Theo and George's grip. "Don't go!"Shirley ignored him, pressed the elevator button, and walked in.By the time Oscar reached
