The air in the room seemed to weigh down heavily on everyone's shoulders.
Just then, a servant walked in from outside and reported, "Sir, Madam, Miss Yuliana and Mr. Fuller are here for a visit." As soon as the servant finished speaking, Shane strode into the room, accompanied by the rhythmic clicking of his shoes against the tiles. Behind him trailed Yuliana, who was all smiles. Today, Shane was clad in a handsblack suit. The slim fit of the design perfectly accentuated his shapely figure.
The topmost button lay unfastened and lined his sexy Adam's apple. The unruffled collar seemed to amplify the sense of... abstinence emanating from him.

It appears those rumours they're spreading are false," Shane began as he approached Timothy. After his footsteps halted in front of Timothy, his gaze landed directly on Charlotte. His expression remained calm and unperturbed as though he was not the least bit surprised to find her here. Shane's arrival clearly tamed Timothy's anger. He promptly broke out into a smile and ushered Shane to take a seat.
"Haha, the media exaggerates everything. Look, I'm doing just fine, am I not?" Timothy chuckled as he sat himself down. He then tossed Elaine a meaningful glance.
Upon seeing this, Elaine immediately handed Alistair into the butler's arms and hauled her sister into the kitchen to prepare stea and snacks.
As soon as they stepped into the kitchen, Elaine's smile vanished into thin air. She growled in a low voice, "You idiot, why did you bring Shane over?" Things were just about to develop as she had predicted, but Shane's sudden appearance threw her plans off track.
This instantly warded off Yuliana's glee and she froze in her tracks. "Sis, what's wrong? Didn't you askto get it done as soon as possible?" She was in cloud nine when Shane asked her out today, for it was such a rare occasion. Besides, he even suggested they visit the Emerson family. How could she let this good opportunity slide? Elaine had no words for her sister. She pulled the cloak on her shoulder tighter around herself but her lips were still pursed.
Yuliana glanced around surreptitiously and, once she made sure no one was around, she pulled out a small sachet of powder from her handbag.
"What's this?" asked Elaine.
"Sis, didn't you say that I should get Shane to knockup? This is the..." Yuliana's voice trailed away as she spoke, fearing that others would overhear.

"Chere, Sheryl." Shane waved at the little girl huddled up behind Charlotte.
Sheryl had seen Shane interact with that baddie who kept picking on her mother. She pouted unhappily and ignored Shane, scooting further behind her mother's legs. Charlotte was rather astonished at Sheryl's reaction. Under normal circumstances, Shane was unquestionably her favourite person.
How was today different? At the stime, Timothy also stared at Shane in surprise.
Shane brushed the matter off with a chuckle and his gaze traveled to his gazet Charlotte
Then, he looked back at Timothy. "Mr. Emerson, you must be in luck to have such a talented and beautiful daughter and the most adorable granddaughter."
Timothy looked at Shane in utter confusion and voiced his doubt, "Do е you guys know each other?" Like RICH WOMEN? These women desperately want a mature men! JOIN NOW *Waming* these rich women will persue you.
