Her Biliionaire Husband

"I know that Wade likes you. His mother is currently undergoing cancer treatment in the hospital and owes over a million. Now
she works as a secretary under Talila. But from what I know, Talila has tried multiple times to make him submit to her, but he
refused every time. As a result, he has suffered a lot of beatings.
"If you pretend to be in a relationship with Wade and let me film a video or take photos, I will give you 3.75 million and help him
pay off his debt. This way, I will have evidence to prove everything even if you change your mind. Skye will be able to stave his
guilty off and won't marry you to make up for it."
Shirley was stunned, instantly losing her train of thought.
On the other end of the line, Sofia's voice resounded again. "You have 30 minutes to consider." She hung up the phone.
Shirley held the phone and sat down on the sofa, not knowing what to do. After hesitating for a while, she finally decided to call
Wade.
Since he wasn't doing well either, it would be better for the two of them to pretend to be in a relationship. They could help each
other. It would be a win-win situation.
She dialed his number. "A-Are you busy?"
"Not really. What's up?" Wade's voice was as gentle as ever.
"How's life recently?" she questioned concernedly.
Ever since returning from the hidden clan, she had only talked to him a few times on the phone. He had invited her out several
times, but she refused because she didn't want him to find out about her current appearance.
Her question received no response for a while. Later, she faintly heard a self-deprecating laugh from the other end. "I'm fine,
really fine."
It was a very forced answer.

Shirley bit her lip tightly, watching the clock on the wall as the seconds ticked away. There were less than eight minutes left. She
clenched her fist and mustered her courage. "Wade, can I ask you for a favor?"
"Of course. It will be my honor," he agreed without hesitation. She was moved by that.
Then, she told him in detail about everything that had happened recently except the fact that she had gone to the hidden clan.
She only mentioned the kidnap that transpired in Castron and disfigurement. She even highlighted that it had little to do with
Skyler. She then conveyed Sofia's words to him.
After a long silence, Wade only asked one question, "Won't you regret it?"
Regret? Shirley Wilson smiled bitterly. Do I even have the chance to regret it?
"No, I won't," she answered.
He naturally agreed to the deal. After hanging up the phone, she immediately called Sofia.
Sofia booked a hotel room under Shirley's name for the duo's meeting. As the mastermind, Sofia gave instructions for every step
of the plan, and Shirley followed them one by one.
That night, she and Wade stayed in the hotel and left early the next morning. They passionately kissed in the corridor and
elevator.
Later, Shirley received a check for 2 million. The outstanding amount acted as an assurance for Sofia. As long as Shirley
followed her remaining orders, she would be able to receive the outstanding amount.
Helpless, Shirley agreed and handed the 2 million to her mother so that they could request a delayed payment from the debt
collector.
Wade also paid off his debt and left the company.

Veronica and Matthew brought fruit baskets and supplements to a private hospital at Elarian to visit the heavily injured Skyler.
Only Caleb and a nurse were present in the ward.
"Matt, Roni," Caleb greeted them as he noticed their arrival.
Veronica looked at the bedridden Skyler. "Has he not woken up yet?"
"He woke up earlier, but just fell asleep again," Caleb explained.
Matthew looked at the pale-faced Skyler while asking Caleb, "Have you looked into the car accident?"
