Oops My Toyboy Is A Hidden Tycoon

With such realization, Shirley suddenly had an idea. She boldly rushed to the company, but unexpectedly, she was immediately informed that she had been fired when he saw Chude. She didn’t even get a chance to see Jonathan.

She could only make a scene, and finally, Jonathan let her in. If it were anyone else, they would have been kirked out already. My place in his heart is indeed different,‘ she thought confidently.

In truth, Shirley was also aware that she might not match Cynthia in terms of appearance, knowledge, and temperament However, she possessed something that Cynthia lacked: authenticity and spontaneity.

In her view, most prominent young ladies raised by their families from a young age were well– behaved, virtuous, and understood etiquette and propriety. However, men would inevitably find them boring after encountering many such women. She knew those scions well that despite having well–bred girlfriends, they would seek out wild and spicy “bad girl” for excitement.

Moreover, she would soon create another persona for herself–righteous. She knew that Jonathan’s family was complicated, filled with deceit, schemes, and power struggles, making it difficult to have genuine emotions. Shirley believed that those qualities were rare and precious to Jonathan.

Just as she expected, Jonathan asked indifferently, “Ms. Jones, are you here to seek justice for your friends?

With a righteous and resolute expression, Shirley replied, “Of course. If you need someone to vent your anger on because of Cynthia, just come at me. I was the one who did that, and it had nothing to do with my friends. I’m willing to take full responsibility.”

Jonathan smiled faintly, but his eyes remained indifferent and cold. He casually remarked, “Ms. Jones, you’re quite righteous.”

Jonathan’s words were full of irony. But Shirley, lost in her fantasies, didn’t pick up on it. She even felt a bit proud, thinking that Jonathan was starting to see her in a new light.

be so

ungrateful to

Unexpectedly, Jonathan added, “However, Ms. Jones, if you are so loyal and righteous, how could you your adoptive mother who raised you for 20 years? You knew she acted in excessive self– defense, yet you refused to testify in court and watched her get sentenced to life imprisonment.”

Shirley’s face stiffened, seemingly taken aback. She hadn’t expected Jonathan to mention Rachel suddenly. But soon, she figured it out. She assumed that it must have been Cynthia who told him that to ruin her image in Jonathan’s eyes.

Shirley asked angrily, “Did Cynthia tell you that? She’s indeed good at throwing dirt on me.”

She believed that nobody knew what had happened that night. Although Cynthia might know a bit, it was just the tip of the iceberg. Hence, Shirley wasn’t afraid.

Jonathan said indifferently. “It has nothing to do with Ms. Cynthia Jones, I just happened to come across a video. Ms. Shirley Jones, you might as well have a look.”

Jonathan then took out his phone and played a video. Shirley felt a bit nervous but still leaned over to watch. The scene showed her running away from the crime scene on the night Dennis was killed.

Shirley’s face immediately turned pale. “How did you get this video?

Jonathan didn’t answer Shirley’s question. Instead, he said. The video has a timestamp. At the time of the incident, you were at the scene. Neighbors also saw Dennis hurting you and your mother. This proves your adoptive mother acted in excessive self–defense. However, neither the police investigation nor the trial saw you defending her, which I find puzzling. According to my investigation, although Rachel isn’t rich, she treated her daughter well and even spent a lot of money to send you to an elite school

Tue, Nov 5 El B

Shirley did attend an eltre high school in Betrico. It was also thee that she first heard of Jonathan’s name. Jonathan surely didn’t know that she had seen him back in high school and had fallen in love with him at first sight.

Shirley was momentarily speechless. Deep down, she felt guilty Except for Rachel, no one knew the truth about that night. But she knew Rachel would never reveal it because Rachel owed her. She didn’t testify in court, partly because she wanted to avoid being known as a murderer’s daughter, and partly because she hoped Rachel would stay in prison forever. That way, she wouldn’t have to worry again.

But Jonathan had started to get involved in the matter and even had evidence of her at the crime scene. If she continued to deny it, it would solidify her image as someone who abandoned her adoptive mother, heartless and ungrateful. She couldn’t let Jonathan see her that way.

Shirley suddenly squatted down, covered her face, and cried. “Yes, I was there that day. It’s not that I didn’t want to testify in court, but my adoptive mother refused. She said she wanted to end the rest of her life repenting in prison for her past wrongs. I tried to persuade her, but in the end, I had to respect her choice.”

She continued, “I’m also upset. That night was horrifying. Seeing my adoptive mother kill my adoptive father was terrifying and shocking. My adoptive mother has always been very good to me. She didn’t want me to get involved, so she told me to leave. It’s not that I don’t care about her fate. I’ve always hoped she could be released sooner, but she feels too guilty to deserve freedom. My adoptive father was a jerk, always hitting and scolding me since I was a child while my adoptive mother always tried her best to protect me. She truly cared for me. She then burst into tears.

As Shirley said the last sentence, she also showed a trace of true feelings

Rachel was indeed very good to Shirley, to the point of being completely accommodating. Although their family was poor, she had tried to satisfy Shirley materially, even if it meant buying shoes worth hundreds of dollars. However, Shirley felt that that was what Rachel owed her. Rachel had swapped her with Cynthia back then, causing Shirley to miss out on a wealthy life and grow up in poverty. Despite Rachel’s guilt and regret, Shirley believed that Rachel deserved her fate.

At that moment, Shirley tried hard to recall everything Rachel had done for her just to make her tears seem more genuine.

Jonathan said indifferently, “I see. I almost misunderstood and thought you wanted to distance yourself from your adoptive mother to protect your reputation.”

Shirley hurriedly denied, “I’m not like that. I don’t get involved in the grudge between my biological and adoptive mothers My adoptive mother has been very good to me. If she can be released, I will surely look after her in her old age.”

Jonathan responded, “In that case, Ms. Jones, I suppose you’ll be willing to appeal to the courts of appeals to clear your adoptive mother’s name.”

Shirley was stunned, thinking. ‘Appeal and clear Rachel’s name? Won’t that mean everyone will know I’m the daughter of a murderer? Besides, Mom hates Rachel the most. If I appeal for her.

Mom will be furious” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

However, Shirley couldn’t understand why Jonathan was so concerned about Rachel’s case.
