Oops My Toyboy Is A Hidden Tycoon

Chapter 334

Shirley felt so good. The feeling was just amazing. Like being the center of attention, with everyone focused on her, as if she was born to be in the spotlight.

The feeling was utterly euphoric, nourishing the insecurities she had suppressed for so long. All the wonderful emotions reached their peak. She looked at Cynthia with the utmost disdain and provocation.

Shirley felt ecstatic at this moment. However, Cynthia did not place the jewelry in Shirley’s hand. Instead, she closed the sandalwood box and handed it to Simon beside her.

Shirley’s face instantly darkened when she saw this. She said, “Cynthia, what are you doing? Give me back my jewelry now!” Shirley’s face was full of anger and impatience.

To her, it was 300 million dollars, all the glamour and fame. It was her ticket to the higher ranks of society, and her stepping stone into the world of big money.

She thought, ‘What on earth is Cynthia trying to do? If she dares to cause trouble, I’ll definitely tear her into pieces!”

Cynthia’s expression remained calm, but her voice was cold, “I’m sorry, but I won’t let a murderer taint my design.” The word “murderer” instantly shocked everyone present.

As soon as Shirley heard it, her face went ghostly pale and her heart started pounding wildly. She felt really guilty as if a hidden secret buried deep inside had suddenly been exposed.

For a moment, Shirley was overwhelmed with panic and confusion. But a thread of rationality remained. She thought, ‘Cynthia can’t possibly know. How could she know I had killed someone?

‘Even if she knew, she had no proof. Otherwise, she would’ve put me in jail a long time ago. Maybe she was just suspicious. Or maybe she simply wanted to ruin my happiness.‘

After thinking this way, Shirley felt a bit more relaxed. But the fear was still clear on her pale face. Trying to act tough, she pointed at Cynthia’s nose and scolded, “Cynthia, you bitch! How dare you slander me?! I’ll sue you and put you in jail!”

Shirley looked confident, but she was actually in a panic, especially after she saw Cynthia’s calm gaze. Every time Cynthia had that look, it always spelled trouble for her.

She thought, ‘What exactly is Cynthia trying to do?‘ Shirley had only one thought, ‘No matter what Cynthia is planning, I can’t let her succeed.’

Shirley turned and saw Whitney still on stage. Whitney was her biggest support now. Without wasting any time, Shirley hurried over to her.

She said, “Ms. Bennett, I’m your person. She dares to publicly insult and slander me, meaning she doesn’t respect you at all. You can’t let off her!”

Whitney had already regretted bringing Shirley inside. Not only did Shirley embarrass her, but she could also cause problems. She didn’t know whether Shirley had committed murders or not, but Whitney knew Shirley hated Cynthia more than anyone else in the world.

Driven by jealousy and hatred, Shirley was capable of anything, and this was exactly what Whitney wanted to take advantage of. Otherwise, she would never associate with someone like her

Especially now. Whenever something happened, Shirley would just rely on her and her strength. Shirley would ruin her reputation as well.

But in everyone’s eyes, Shirley was brought in here by Whitney, so she was seen as one of her people. Besides, she even gave away jewelry worth 300 million dollars to shame Cynthia in such a high–profile way.

To everyone else, Whitney and Shirley appeared to be very close. If Shirley was labeled a murderer, Whitney couldn’t escape the blame either. She suspected that this might be a trap set specifically for her.

Whitney sensed a hint of danger and quickly distanced herself from Shirley first. “Ms. Shirley Jones, the issues between you sisters are none of my business.”

Shirley was stunned. She thought, ‘Whitney is not gonna stand up for me? So is she still gonna give me the jewelry worth 300 million dollars?‘

After that, Whitney turned to Cynthia and said, “Ms. Cynthia Jones, you should be more forgiving towards your sister. In situations like this, you have no proof yet to label her a murderer. Your careless words can become a lifetime burden for a girl. Ms. Jones, you should strive to be kinder.”

Although Whitney didn’t want to deal with Shirley, she couldn’t just ignore her completely. Otherwise, it would mean admitting defeat to them. Her person wasn’t just anyone’s punching bag.

Cynthia didn’t say anything, but the big screen behind them started playing a video with Shirley’s voice coming through.

“Give me the video, and we’ll be even from now on.”

“Video, what video?”

“Back then, I was just curious, but when I went over, I saw you stabbing your dad with a knife. I was so shocked. I couldn’t even think about filming. I was lying to you.”

After watching the video, Shirley was completely stunned. She felt as if her whole body had frozen. She stood there motionless.

On the big screen, a conversation between her and Luke was displayed. It happened right after Luke shot Lilian and then took Shirley as a hostage.

This incident was a sensation at the time. People overseas might not be aware, but it dominated social news headlines for a whole week.

The live room was heated.

[Isn’t that the guy who fired a shot at Mrs. Yates‘ wedding?]

[Yeah, I saw the suspect’s picture on the news. They said he went back to his rented apartment and took his own life out of guilt.]

[Why was Shirley with this suspect? Judging from their conversation, they’ve met before and even have some sort of deal.] [You guys might not know this, but I was one of the guests that day. The reason the criminal was able to escape was because he took a hostage. You’ll never guess who it was–it was Shirley.]

[Holy shit! Were they accomplices?]

The video on the screen continued. Luke opened the suitcase, revealing it was full of fake bills. The two started to argue.

When Shirley saw this, she was completely dumbfounded. She had no idea what was going on. She thought, ‘How did Cynthia get these videos?

‘No one was supposed to know. I not only killed Luke but also set a fire. The entire building burned down, leaving nothing but ashes.

‘When they investigated the scene later, they found only a charred body in the room. I didn’t leave any trace of evidence. But how did Cynthia have such a clear video?‘ Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

In the video, Luke and Shirley were still arguing. Shirley already knew what was going to happen next. Like a crazy person, she pounced at Cynthia.

But this time, before Cynthia could do anything, Jonathan and Simon stepped in almost at the same time, each grabbing one of her arms.

There was a crack, and then Shirley had already fallen to the ground. The thud overlapped with the sound of a gunshot in the footage.
