The more experiences one goes through, the more they engage in acting. Shirley Wilson remained calm and composed on her face, unaware that every word she spoke caused her heart to be pierced with pain like needles.
“Skyler Robins, I don’t owe you anything. You slept with me, you gained something, and I won’t make you take responsibility,” Shirley Wilson sighed, a serene smile on her face. “Now that Sofia Green is pregnant and you are about to get married, I sincerely wish you happiness. You and I are in the past, I hope we both find our own happiness in the future.”
Veronica Murphy had once told her that love is best when both parties are well-matched. Grey Lady could marry into a wealthy family, but she would also suffer a lot of pain.
At that time, she was indecisive, immersed in her liking for Skyler Robins, and in the end, she couldn’t ‘settle down’. Therefore, the pain she suffered was self-inflicted. Now, Shirley Wilson just wanted to live a simple and ordinary life.
“Find your own happiness, find your own happiness!”
Skyler Robins tapped his chin lightly, gritting his teeth as he repeated the phrase ‘find your own happiness’ four times. Anger surged within him as he grabbed Shirley Wilson’s wrist and pulled her closer. “You say you don’t need to take responsibility? Shirley Wilson, what the hell do you think of me, Skyler Robins?”
He exploded in anger, startling Shirley Wilson.
“I… I…” She stammered, feeling so nervous that she was almost suffocating. “What should I think of you? Or, are you willing to accept me as your mistress? If you don’t mind me sleeping with Wade every day and then being intimate with you, I have no objections. As long as you provide money, I can accept it.”
In order to make Skyler Robins give up on her sooner, she degraded herself to the point of worthlessness. Skyler Robins furrowed his brow, a dangerous glint appearing between his eyebrows. “You weren’t like this before!”
“That’s because you were too foolish to even recognize a performance,” Shirley Wilson said, shaking her head. “No, maybe you saw me as a consolation. A consolation for the emptiness in your heart after being abandoned by Sofia Green.”
As she spoke, Skyler Robins tightly gripped her wrist, exerting so much force that it felt like he was about to crush her wrist bones.
It hurt.
A piercing pain.
But Shirley Wilson clenched her teeth, not wanting to show any signs of pain in front of him.
“Shirley Wilson, you…”
Skyler Robins began to speak, but suddenly raised his hand to cover his chest. His face tilted slightly to the side, and his body suddenly leaned forward. “Pfft…”
Skyler Robins spat out a mouthful of blood with a “pu” sound. The blood sprayed from the side of Shirley Wilson and left tiny crimson stains on her pristine down jacket and face.
Shirley Wilson’s pupils dilated, her face turned pale with fright, and she stared blankly at him, her mind completely blank.
With bloodstains on the corners of his lips, Skyler Robins covered his chest and looked at Shirley Wilson. His lips trembled as he spoke, “Shirley Wilson, you… have such a cruel heart.”
After saying that, his vision went black, and he fell forward onto the ground. Shirley Wilson took a step forward and hugged him, letting him rest on her shoulder. One second, two seconds, three seconds…
After a long few seconds, Shirley Wilson snapped back to reality. She immediately took out her phone from the pocket of her down jacket and dialed 911 with trembling hands. “Hello, 911? Someone here is vomiting blood…”
After clearly explaining the situation to the emergency operator, she hung up the phone. Skyler Robins fainted, his body weak and gradually sliding down. Shirley Wilson supported him and gently laid him on the ground.
She sat down on the floor, cradling him in her arms.
“Skyler, Skyler…
Calling out Skyler Robins’ name, tears fell from Shirley Wilson’s eyes like broken beads.
Touching his slightly cold hand and pale face, Shirley Wilson nervously skipped a beat in her breath. “Skyler, please don’t scare me, okay? You… um… don’t scare me…”
