تسجيل الدخولJust as Truman was about to publicly reprimand Sheila for her vulgarity and unsuitability to marry into the Ford family, Sheila snatched the microphone from the host's hand."Since, as the wife of the Ford family's head, even my private life must be accountable to the public, then I will tell you everything right now.""First, regarding my relationship with Kane, it was already clarified a year ago at the press conference for Ford's acquisition of Orange Entertainment.""If anyone has forgotten, you can search for the news from that time."Under the spotlight, her face was pale, yet her gaze swept over the crowd with a piercing intensity."As for the intimate photos of Kane and me on the big screen, most of them were taken three years ago – back when we hadn't broken up, and when I thought he was just a regular poor guy like me.""I have proof. Back then, I registered an X alt account and posted some photos. If you're interested, you can check it out. The account is ."At this point,
After Antony and the others settled into Truman's car, Taylor messaged him: "Got them?"Truman: "Yeah, sticking to the plan."Taylor: "Still, bro, you've got the touch, having eyes on Sheila's parents from the get-go."Truman: "What's the latest with Killian?"Taylor: "Relax, the Germans are a tough nut to crack. He's tied up till tomorrow, at least."Twenty hours earlier, Berlin.After more than a dozen hours in the air, Regan finally touched down.Regan never in a million years imagined his oversight would land Killian in such a bind. If he didn't fix this mess, he wouldn't dare show his face to him again.He finally reached the clandestine negotiation site where Killian was meeting with the Germans.However, the moment Regan approached, he was halted.He quickly flashed his credentials. "I'm Killian's lawyer," he stated urgently. "I have an extremely pressing matter I need to discuss with him.""Apologies, but no one is permitted to interfere until the negotiations are concluded."
Caroline: "I agree!""Wouldn't that be… too much?" Sheila hesitated, "It would be too much of a bother for Auntie Pink and Uncle Cole.""Not at all. My dad’s been busy lately, and my mom has nothing much to do at home. She’ll be thrilled to have you stay."Sebastian said, pulling out his phone to call Alison.Alison, as expected, agreed instantly. "Tell Sheila to feel free to stay for a few days, we’d be delighted."And so, Sheila packed a small bag and headed to Alison’s place.After Bernard and his wife decided to return to the Country, they bought a plot of land in the western part of the Capital and built a magnificent manor.The car slowly glided through the manor gates. Two rows of towering ginkgo trees lined the drive, their golden leaves shimmering like shattered gold in the sunlight.After stepping out, Sebastian led her across a white marble arched bridge.Beneath the bridge, water trickled softly, and several koi carp swam gracefully in the clear pond.Next, a meticulously
Nicole looked at Truman, "Truman, what exactly do you mean by this?"Truman replied, "Nothing much. I just hope she'll sign the divorce agreement."Nicole let out a scoff, a coldness swirling in her eyes. "You people, your brains really don't work, do they? You think if Sheila signs the agreement, my son will? You think you can force my son?"Truman choked, his face flushing crimson, and he pointed at Sheila, roaring, "This woman cheated! She's having an affair with another man! If Killian doesn't sign, is he still a man?""Hmph~" Sheila glared back defiantly. "Then go make Killian sign it. If he signs the divorce agreement, I'll sign immediately."Margaret tapped her cane nearby. "We're afraid Killian will be seduced by you again, so you *must* sign today. Once you sign, I'll talk to Killian, and he'll surely sign too."Nicole looked at Sheila. "Forget it, Sheila. It's useless to talk more with these people. It's like talking to a brick wall.""Emma!" Nicole called softly. Emma respo
Sheila clenched her fingers, nails digging deep into her palms. She looked at the group of impeccably dressed "high society" individuals before her and suddenly found it utterly ridiculous.Simply because she lacked connections, lacked family background, they treated her like an ant, like dirt beneath their feet.If Nicole wasn't here, they would probably have already had someone restrain her, forcing her to sign the divorce papers, wouldn't they?Knowing there was no point arguing with these people, Sheila had no intention of doing so.Once they had said their piece, Sheila slowly rose from her seat, her voice ringing out, clear and resolute: "If you have the guts, make Killian come and divorce me himself. But if you resort to any dirty tricks to force me, or harm my family, I swear, I will fight you to the bitter end. And I believe Killian will never let you off the hook either."She had no choice; Killian was her only trump card right now.Just then, Nicole also stood up. "Exactly.
Caroline woke up bright and early, intending to find Sheila, when she discovered her bedroom door was locked. She gasped in surprise, shouting, "Dad, Stepmom! What's happening? Why am I locked in here?!"Vicky's voice drifted from behind the door. "Sweetie, your dad knew you'd be rushing off to find Sheila first thing this morning, so he locked it."Caroline *was* indeed on her way to find Sheila. With such a massive scandal unfolding and Killian nowhere to be found, she absolutely had to help. "Stepmom, let me out right now! I have appearances to make!"Vicky's voice was firm. "Your dad already spoke to your agent. All your bookings for the next few days have been postponed. You've had a shock, and you need to rest."Caroline pounded on the door. "No! I *have* to get out! Killian isn't here; I need to protect Sheila!""Just listen, your dad is doing this for your own good," Vicky cajoled. "Now that the Ford family knows Killian married Sheila, they're definitely not going to let this
Sheila was also stunned.She had thought Kane was with her behind Lauren's back.Now it seemed Lauren might have known about her existence for a long time.But after all, Lauren was his proper fiancée, while she had been with Kane for five years. What difference was th
Sheila coldly glanced at him, a sneer curving her lips."Is it any of your business?""Kane, do I need to remind you again, we broke up months ago.""Who I'm with, who I sleep with, is none of your concern, understand?""None of your concern."Kane clenched his teeth, his eyes bloodshot with fury.
"Who said that?" Nicole gently patted Sheila's hand. "That's other people's business. Our Killian is capable enough; he doesn't need a marriage to consolidate his position. I just want him to be happy. As long as he's happy, that's more important than anything else."Killian put the peeled shrimp o
Sheila was stunned.How was Killian so good at finding the key points tonight?Weren't they discussing work matters?Afraid that he would think she had improper thoughts, Sheila immediately stated, "Don't worry, I'll stay in my place and won't have any wishful thinking.""What place are you in?"Ki
