Skyler clenched his phone and looked at Shirley, who was standing not far away. He clenched the
phone hard, causing his knuckles to crack.
He knew his mother too well. If she came to Pinewoods Vi personally and saw Shirley, she would
definitely embarrass her and even humiliate her.
Even as a man, he found her words to be harsh on him, let alone Shirley, who was already in a state of
inferiority due to her disfigurement.
''I''ll go back right now.'' After hesitating for a while, Skyler replied with a message.
Once he hit the send button, he walked up to Shirley and held her hand.
Shirley, who was looking into the distance, turned around and smiled at him. "Are you going back to
work now?" She turned to face Skyler, raised her hand to tuck the strands of hair blown by the wind
behind her ear, and said, "Ky, you''ve apanied me for a long time now. It''s time for you to get back
to work. Otherwise... how are you going to support both of us in the future?"
Shirley had a smile on her face, but upon closer inspection, her smile didn''t reach her eyes and
seemed somewhat forced.
She didn''t intentionally eavesdrop on the phone call just now, but she happened to be standing close
enough to hear him.
Although she didn''t hear the entire conversation clearly, she vaguely heard the words "arranged
marriage" and "interfere with my marriage."
Shirley could imagine the whole situation by putting the puzzle pieces together.
"Hahaha..." Skyler raised his head andughed out loud. "You''re right. I''ll listen to you, Shir. I''ll get back
to work right now so that I can earn enough to support both of us. I''ll also save some money so that we
can also support our children in the future, and we''ll live happily ever after. How does that sound?"
He envisioned a beautiful future with Shirley, and just by fantasizing, he could see a picture of a warm
and harmonious big family in his mind.
Shirley nodded fervently. "Sounds perfect!"
The two exchanged sweet smiles with each other.
"Let''s go."
Shirley held Skyler''s hand and returned to the living room. Then, she told Skyler to grab the car keys
before they went to the garage together. She watched as Skyler got into the car and drove away from
the vi.
Feeling bored, Shirley followed the sedan that drove out of the vi and walked to the front gate.
Wearing a mask, she walked out of the entrance of the vi, wanting to get some fresh air outside and
feel the taste of freedom.
At this moment, however, a car drove out from behind the vi and stopped in front of Shirley.
A slightly plump woman got out of the ck luxury car. She was adorned with jewelry and exuded an
aura of elegance and luxury. Looking at her face, she bore a slight resemnce to Skyler.
Shirley immediately assumed the woman''s identity.
"You must be Shirley, aren''t you?" The woman walked up to her, scrutinizing her from head to toe while
questioning her.
Facing the imposing woman, Shirley couldn''t help but feel nervous, but she still mustered up the
courage to nod in response. "Yes. It''s nice to meet you, Mrs. Robins."
"You recognize me." Keysha, who was in a ck dress, gave a cold smile. "Since you know who I am,
shouldn''t you have basic manners? Don''t you know that it''s impolite to talk to someone while wearing a
mask?"
Shirley''s heart skipped a beat when she heard those words.
She started wondering whether Keysha already knew about her disfigurement.
"I..." Shirley raised her hand and touched the mask on her face. Due to nervousness, she felt her
breath getting stuck, and her gaze flickered. "I have a slight cold, so I''m wearing a mask to prevent
spreading it."
"Is it a fake cold, or are you just too ashamed to show your face?"
Her words were like a sharp sword, piercing harshly at Shirley''s heart, making her heart tremble with
pain.
Indeed, Keysha came prepared.
Feeling the pressure given to her by the noblewoman, Shirley gradually realized that there was an
insurmountable gap between her and Skyler.
