What does it mean to forget the old when you have the new? Please, he only has Esther, okay?
“Don’t talk nonsense. When were you my old flame? At most, you can be considered an acquaintance!” Chris Shelby responded seriously. At this point, Chris Shelby had to be serious because his wife was watching.
Sure enough, hearing Chris Shelby’s reply, a hint of satisfaction appeared on Esther’s face. Clearly, she was very satisfied with Chris Shelby’s answer.
Suddenly, Candace Nance seemed on the verge of tears. “Chris, are you going to hurt me like this? You hurt me deeply, and when you’ve hurt me enough, I’ll give up…”
A chill ran up Chris Shelby’s spine. What the hell? Candace Nance wasn’t like this before. She was always cold-faced, like a frosty beauty! When did she become so girlish? And she was crying at every turn? Was this still the business queen of the north? Was this still the young lady of the Nance family?
At the same time, Yvonne Rainey and Mimi were also stunned. They had known Candace Nance for so long, yet this was the first time they had seen her like this. Clearly, Chris Shelby held an irreplaceable position in Candace Nance’s heart!! Such a proud woman as Candace Nance could change everything for Chris Shelby!
“Alright! I’m not going to talk anymore, I’m leaving, Chris, goodbye!” “I hope I can see you in Middleton!” After saying this, Candace Nance once again regained the demeanor of a business queen. She left without any hesitation.
Before leaving, Mimi took a deep look at Chris Shelby and then turned to leave. From the time she arrived until now, Mimi hadn’t said a single word to Chris Shelby. But one glance was already worth a thousand words!
After Mimi and the others left, Esther looked at Chris Shelby with a displeased expression. “Husband, what did Candace Nance mean by ‘old flame’? Don’t tell me you two had a thing?”
“Injustice!” Chris Shelby shouted, “I swear, in my life, I’ve only been with you and absolutely no one else!”
“That’s better!” Seeing Chris Shelby swear, Esther finally let him go.
“By the way, husband, I always feel that Mimi’s gaze at you seems a bit off,” Esther said with a frown. Chris Shelby shrank his neck. Were women’s intuitions all so frightening? Mimi didn’t even speak. Just one gaze made Esther feel uneasy. Chris Shelby was sweating profusely inside, and quickly laughed it off, “How could that be? Honey, aren’t you overthinking? I just met Mimi for the first time today, am I such a handsome guy that any woman who sees me will like me?”
“Don’t flatter yourself!” “But you’re right, maybe I was mistaken!” Esther rolled her eyes and didn’t bother to think about it anymore. After all, it was Chris Shelby’s first time meeting Mimi. How could they possibly have an ambiguous relationship? Seeing that Esther didn’t continue to question him, Chris Shelby couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Jake Johnson walked over and pulled out a check from his pocket. “Mr. Shelby, this is the one hundred million dollars that Yvonne Rainey gave me!” Although the temptation of a hundred million was great, even if Jake Johnson had ten times the guts, he wouldn’t dare to pocket it himself!
Chris Shelby glanced at Jake Johnson and said lightly, “Jake Johnson, you performed well this time, not succumbing to Yvonne Rainey’s sugar-coated bullets!”
