Cathy and Adam could not help but sympathize with Shirley as she tried to suppress her pain.
“Two days from now, you’ll accompany me to this hotel.”
Shirley turned to Cathy and requested.
“I’ll give you a handsome reward. On that day, you must stick with me. You’ll do whatever I ask you to do.”
When Adam heard this, he thought it pathetic. “ Shirley, what do you mean? Are you going to attend Carter’s wedding? You’d even want Cathy as your bodyguard?”
Shirley held back her tears. She then lifted her red but beautiful eyes, displaying a meaningful smile, and looked at Cathy, then at Adam.
“She said it, didn’t she? I have the right to choose, and I choose to attend the wedding. Don’t tell me that it’s not allowed?”
“ .” Adam was momentarily speechless. However, he quickly snapped back, “Alright, you want to go, huh? You can go alone. Cathy will not be your maid.”
“ She can do whatever she likes. If she won’t go, I can hire other people. There are a lot of money- minded people who are willing to wait on and serve me.” Shirley’s attitude was firm. She then operated her wheelchair to head toward the stairs.
Seeing Shirley’s figure as Shirley put on a brave front, Cathy felt as if she had seen her old self.
Back then, she had also been this stubborn for Felipe.
However, in the end… Everything went up in smoke.
“Shirley, have you truly thought it through? Are you sure you want to attend his wedding looking like this?”
Adam asked, looking at Shirley’s back. His tone was not as harsh as before, sounding much gentler instead.
“Are you certain that you’d want to torment yourself by witnessing his wonderful wedding ceremony with his beautiful wife, while you’re in a wheelchair, wearing a half-disfigured face?”
Shirley pressed the start button on the wheelchair and turned her back at Adam. After a while, she spoke slowly.
