Chapter 377


    Hearing Shelton''s words, I suddenly felt a chill running down my spine.


    I opened my eyes wide and said after a long while, "Then...Then, in the end, you..."


    "I didn''t kill her." Shelton revealed a wry smile, saying, "Before I graduated, she died. Before I killed


    her, she died naturally.."


    Hearing this, I let out a sigh of relief.


    Shelton moved the muscles on his face, making me ascertain that he was looking at me. He looked


    at me and said, "Then, I was brought back to the Cowell Family. At first, I didn''t want to ruin the


    Cowell Family, trying quite hard to get along with them. So I tried harder, pretended that I couldn''t


    tell that they were mocking me, and did all my best to be good to them."


    "However, in the end, I discovered that they would never change their views of me. No matter what I


    did, in their eyes, I was nobody but a beggar."


    Shelton''s words deeply touched me.


    He was talking about the Cowell Family. But I felt like he was talking about me.


    After spending three years in the Archer Family, could it be that I couldn''t feel how the Archer


    Family treated me? Of course, I could. Even so, I tried my best to be one of them.


    In the end, it turned out that I was deceiving myself.


    I looked at Shelton and nodded, "I understand you. And I can rte to you."


    "I know." Shelton pursed his lips and raised his hand to wipe his face a few times to sober himself


    up a little. Then he continued, "So, I want to keep you by my side. Knowing that we have the same


    experience, I want to be good to you. I feel distressed for you as if I were distressed for the one I


    used to be."


    He felt distressed for me as if he were distressed for himself in the past.


    Looking at Shelton, I suddenly seemed to understand a lot of things.


    I shook my head and said, "You don''t have to worry about me. I''ll be fine. I have a son, Glenn, a


    good friend, Lisa, and a good partner Nancy, as well as... a man who loves me. I am pretty fine. You


    don''t have to worry about me. I''m serious."

    Now, to say the least, I was indeed quite rich.


    I was no longer as servile as I used to be.


    Standing up, Shelton walked to me step by step and said, "But I''m worried about you. If I don''t keep


    you by my side, I won''t be at ease. What should I do?"


    "You should pursue your own happiness. I indeed will take good care of myself."


    I said.


    "No one else knows what I said just now. Even Shirley." Shelton walked to the front of me and


    looked down at me, "I say that I love you. Can''t you stay by my side? Am I inferior to him? I can


    make all of them up."


    There was even a hint of pleading in Shelton''s voice.


    I have never seen him as humble as this.


    Shelton stretched out his hands and hugged me, "I won''ty my hands on you. Neither will I


    embarrass you. As long as you stay with me, it will be okay. The two of us, who have the same


    experience, suit each other the best. Patrick, who has been favored by God ever since his


    childhood, will never rte to your thoughts."


    He hugged me tightly.


    I didn''t struggle.


    I finally understood Shelton''s attitude towards me.


    He had always treated me like an elder and treated me with care. It turned out that he did so as if


    he were trying to make up for himself in the past...


    I didn''t move in the slightest, saying, "Shelton, now I am very happy, quite happy. So you don''t have


    to help me make up for anything. You should go after the one you love. And you should go to find


    Shirley."


    "No." Shelton shook his head, "Actually, I just wanted toe to see you today. I know that you


    won''t go with me. And... after today, we probably won''t meet each other again."


    "Why not?"


    I felt anxious in my heart.


    Hearing his words, I had a bad feeling.


    Without saying anything, he held me tighter. And time passed by.


    At this time, the sound of a car suddenly came from the door. Then I heard the sound of someone


    opening the door with a key.


    All of a sudden, Shelton straightened up his back and stepped backward slightly. Looking at me, he


    raised his hand and gently touched the top of my head with his big and bony palms, saying lightly,


    "I’m sorry."


    Looking as gentle as usual, he curled up the corner of his mouth and put on a faint smile.


    After saying these words, he turned around and left.


    At this time, the door was opened.


    Nancy and Patrick stood at the door.


    When the two of them saw Shelton, they immediately looked inside. Seeing that I stood there intact,


    they seemed to be relieved.


    Without saying anything, Shelton passed by the two of them and directly left.


    Soon, he disappeared into the night.


    Patrick came in and nced at the cell phone on the sofa. Walking up to me, he asked nervously,


    "Did he do anything to you?"


    "No." I shook my head.


    Thinking of Shelton''s words just now, I couldn''t be more emotionallyplicated in my heart.


    What he had said just now seemed to mean something else. Looking at his back, I always felt that I


    would never see him again after this time.


    Patrick took a rough look and made sure that I wasn''t hurt. Letting a sigh of relief, he raised his


    hand to tidy up my hair which had been messed up by Shelton, saying, "It''s good that you''re all


    right. Let''s go home."


    "Yes." I nodded, walked to Nancy first, hugged her, saying, "Thank you."


    Nancy was stunned for a moment before saying,


    "It''s okay. I was afraid that if something bad did happen to you, I would have toplete the project


    alone in the future. In that case, I surely would have to work overtime crazily."


    I held Nancy in my arms and said, feeling happy in my heart, "Well, I won''t get into any trouble. And


    I''ll do all the projects with you in the future."


    Compared with Shelton, I was happy.


    It was probably because I knew how to cherish it and how to be satisfied.


    I felt that if Shelton was willing to look back and see through his heart, for him, Shirley probably


    would be the Mrs. Right.


    I had been wondering what Shelton''s words meant that night. However, when I arrived at the studio


    the next morning, I got his pointst night.


    Shelton''s scandal had be something in the past. Today, there was a new scandal.


    Based on the scandal, I was an illegitimate child of the current president of Kelsi Real Estate, Finn


    Kelsi. And my mother, Jessica Ryan, was exposed as well.


    For a moment, my scandal overshadowed Shelton''s scandal.


    At the same time, the reporters reorganized the rtionship between Patrick, Kelsi rk, and I.


    Immediately, they figured out a campy story where two sisters fighting over a man.


    Reading the news, I felt extremelyplicated in my heart. And I had many confusions in my heart.


    I wouldn''t dig into my rtionship with the Kelsi family.


    The only thing that I was sure of was that few people knew about my mother''s mater. Besides me,


    Ryan, and the Reid Family, the one knowing the most about this matter was Shelton!


    The Reid Family wouldn''t ruin their own reputation. And Ryan wouldn''t hurt my mother.


    In that case, there was only one person left.
