Chapter 6

Sharon Bailey curled her lips and nodded.

Beth Holmes burst into laughter through tears. "Ha ha, I didn't expect you to be so ill bred. You've just been released from prison and you're so restless. Do you want to go in again?"

I don't want to talk to her.

"Sharon is right. It's really a shame for the Bailey Family to have no one to raise you. I've never seen you so..."

Before Beth Holmes could finish her words, her throat was blocked.

Because I hit her

Sharon Bailey was completely stunned. After being stunned for a few seconds, she said in a shrill voice, "sister, can't you talk nicely? What are you doing?"

"That's my principle. Don't talk nonsense."

Beth Holmes covered her face and cried even more sadly. "Brother, brother, did you see that? She hit me!"

Colin Holmes' face was as cold as ice. He would come up and slap himself in the face the next moment.

"Apologize!" Colin Holmes opened his thin lips and said two words coldly.

I rolled my eyes and ignored him.

Sharon Bailey lowered her head and smiled faintly. Colin Holmes had said that Siobhan Bailey was doomed.

"Apologize!" For the second time, Colin Holmes said in a colder tone.

I looked out of the window and turned a deaf ear to him.

"Siobhan Bailey, do you hear me? Apologize to me!" Beth Holmes felt that she had Colin Holmes to vent her anger, as if her face didn't hurt anymore

Colin Holmes and I looked at each other. His eyes were still unfathomable. I curled my lips and turned my head away.

"Beth Holmes, I want you to apologize to Ms.Siobhan."

As soon as Colin Holmes finished speaking, there was a dead silence in the shop.

Even I couldn't help but take a look at him in astonishment. So he asked Beth Holmes to apologize to me?

"Colin..."

"I told you to call me Mr.Holmes."

Looking at the aggrieved expression on Sharon Bailey's face, I felt happy.

Beth Holmes looked at Colin Holmes pitifully. In the Holmes Family, what she feared most was not her parents, Grandpa, but her brother.

"I'm sorry." After a long while, Beth Holmes squeezed out three words.

I was talking to Kelly Moore and ignored him.

"I'm sorry." Beth Holmes raised her voice.

Only then did I suddenly turn my head and look at Beth Holmes. "Are you talking to me? I'm sorry that you should be louder. I didn't hear you clearly."

Suppressing the anger in her heart, Beth Holmes closed her eyes and shouted out three words, "I'm sorry!"

"Well, it's just a child's talk. I don't want to argue with you." I waved my hand generously.

Just as Beth Holmes was about to lose her temper, the thought of Colin Holmes by his side calmed Beth Holmes down.

"Mr.Holmes, thank you so much!" I looked at Colin Holmes with a smile.

"No, you don't have to. It's all my sister's fault." Colin Holmes replied with a smile.

I sighed, "Alas, it's just a pity that this dress... It's not easy to have a favorite..."

"I will pay for this dress. In order to apologize to Ms.Siobhan, I will pay for everything young lady bought today."

"Brother, why..."

Siobhan Bailey's POV

"Shut up!" Colin Holmes interrupted Beth Holmes immediately.

Sharon Bailey's face darkened.

"Mr.Holmes, it's not my fault. It's not Beth's fault alone..." Sharon Bailey was trying to show her gentleness and magnanimity.

"Bailey Family, you are not on your sister's side, but on the other hand, you are on the outsider's side. You are really knowledgeable!" Kelly Moore interrupted Sharon Bailey.

Sharon Bailey's face darkened when she heard Kelly Moore's words.

At this time, the door was pushed open again.

The manager's legs went limp when he saw the man.

Chris Harris pulled his hair and walked in impatiently with a confused look in his eyes. I raised my wrist and looked at the time. I was wondering what time it was. Did he just get up from the bed?

"Siobhan, what's wrong?" Chris Harris walked up to me and leaned against the counter like me.

"I asked you to take care of the Beauty Killer, but you ended up like this?" I squinted and said in a bad tone.

Hearing what I said. Chris Harris, who had been in a coma just now, immediately cheered up.

"I'm quite busy these days, so I'm a little relaxed. How about you go to another shop and have a look? I promise I'll run it well."

"You fired these two people." I pointed at the manager and the clerk who looked down upon me just now.

Chris Harris nodded without asking why.

"young lady... Mr.Harris..." the manager hurriedly bowed t and apologized.

The manager of the Beauty Killer was not an ordinary person. She had an easy job and a high salary. It was not a problem for her to show off or squander money.

he really didn't want to lose this job!

I just stood up and walked out.

Chris Harris also ran out in a hurry. He didn't even greet the others after he came in, as if he only Siobhan Bailey.

"second young lady..." the manager had no choice but to turn to Sharon Bailey, hoping that she could put in a good word for him.

Rolling her eyes, Sharon Bailey looked at Colin Holmes and said softly, "Colin, they look pitiful too. How about you arrange a position for them in the Holmes Group?"

The manager's eyes lit up again. If he could join the Holmes Group... It was worthwhile to be fired today!

A smile appeared on the thin lips of Colin Holmes, which made Sharon Bailey's heart beat faster.

"Do you think the Holmes Group is a shelter?" Colin Holmes stood up and left.

His tall and handsome back exuded an intimidating authority. Sharon Bailey put her hand on her chest with lingering fear, still unable to come back to her senses from the smile just now.

Chapter 7

I went straight to the revolving restaurant of International Trade Building on the top floor.

Chris Harris served me a cup of tea.

I looked at the person in front of me and suddenly couldn't say anything to blame him.

Yes, what can I blame you for? Isn't Chris Harris merciful enough to me?

I have known Chris Harris for a long time. It has been five or six years since I knew him.

I still remember that the first time Siobhan Bailey met Chris Harris was in a nightclub. At that time, Siobhan Bailey was the queen of the nightclub, and many people wanted to take advantage of her. The most outrageous thing was that when they met Chris Harris, someone who was extremely bold actually drugged Siobhan Bailey. If it weren't for Chris, then Siobhan Bailey would have been done. Siobhan Bailey was very grateful to him. I was also grateful to him when I knew it from my memory.

In fact, Bruce Bailey was a poor person before. He had full of ambition, but he couldn't carry it out. Later he met my mother, at that time he was a poor scholar, and became a rich son-in-law. But what made him feel depressed was that he had changed f the family name to Bailey. This matter had always made him sad, but with strong financial support, Bruce Bailey compromised.

And its biggest industry was Beauty Killer.

Before my mother died. She made A will, but I don't know the details. The only thing I know is that Bruce Bailey handed over several Beauty Killer shops in a city to me.

Perhaps it was because Bruce Bailey came from a poor family, although he had money now, he was still very stingy. The pocket money he gave me every month was not enough for me to squander. When I had the source of money under my name, I was really complacent.

Now I recalled how stupid i was at that time. Compared with mother's will, these several shops that seemed to be sky high in the eyes of outsiders were probably not even worth pocket money.

I have no sense of management and I don't care about the shop. Fortunately, the Beauty Killer brand is big. Over the years, these shops haven't been squandered by me.

When I was put into prison, I wrote a book and transferred all these shops to the name of Chris Harris.

I've always regarded Chris Harris as my good friend. I really don't know how to respond to his love. So I have to use this method to make up for the past he has spent on me.

"Chris Harris." I said slowly.

Chris Harris raised his head from the plate and blinked at me.

"I have transferred these shops to your name, which is your property. You don't need to report to me."

The light in Chris Harris's eyes dimmed.

"Siobhan, as I said before, I'll take care of the shop for you. Your things are still yours."

I've heard this sentence many times. It seems that Chris Harris will say it every time he goes to visit the prison.

"Chris Harris, I don't want to owe you so much."

"It doesn't matter." Chris Harris grinned and said, "I owe you too much. Since when have you been so polite to me?"

"But I don't want to now." I looked at him seriously and said, "Chris Harris, it's impossible for us to be together."

Chris Harris wiped his mouth with a tissue and leaned back in the chair.

"Siobhan, I'm in a good mood now that you can call me here today. Don't say those words to disappoint me, okay?"

"I really..."

"Enough!" Chris Harris stood up from his seat and interrupted me abruptly.

His voice was so loud that all the people in the hall could not help turning their heads to look at him.

Apart from me, Chris Harris rarely cared about other people's feelings. Now that he has become the focus, he doesn't care at all.

"You know it clearly..."

I know I like you so much

I didn't interrupt him, nor did I respond. I just stared at him with a pair of black bright eyes.

"Take your time. I'm leaving now." After saying that, he ran away as fast as he could.

I looked at the person who disappeared in the blink of an eye, full of helplessness.

"Do you mind letting me have dinner here?" A clear and magnetic voice sounded faintly above.

As soon as I raised my head, I met a pair of deep eyes of Colin Holmes.

He wore a black shirt and ironed straight suit pants. Perhaps because of the hot weather or something else, the top two buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned, revealing his sexy collarbone.

"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your acquiescence." Colin Holmes pulled out a chair and sat down.

"I can see that he likes you." Colin Holmes put his hands on the table and stared at me.

"Okay." I nodded and uttered a syllable.

"How about you?"

I poked the steak on my plate with a fork and pursed my lips without saying anything.

Colin Holmes looked at the delicate and fair face of the girl opposite, saw her biting her lips as if she was embarrassed, and looked at her long eyelashes that were drooping

"I..."

I was stunned by only one word.

Because Colin Holmes put a wisp of my bangs to my ears.

I suddenly raised my head and looked at him in surprise.

Colin Holmes said with a playful smile.

I covered my face and cried in my heart.

What are you laughing at!

Colin Holmes picked up my plate and began to eat elegantly.

"Hey, that's what I have eaten." How could he be so familiar.

Colin Holmes nodded, "I don't mind."

I don't care whether you mind it or not? I'm also hungry, okay?

"Open your mouth." I opened my mouth reflexively, and a piece of fresh and juicy steak had been fed into my mouth.

I think my face can be fried now.

I felt embarrassed and wanted to ask the waiter to bring me a set of tableware.

But not only the waitress was gone, there were only the two in the big restaurant now.

What happened!

Just as I was speechless, ashamed and angry, a "warm" dinner finally came to an end, and Colin Holmes had already sat next to me from across the table.

Chapter 8

"Do you like him?" Colin Holmes repeated.

"Who is it?"

"That guy just now."

"No."

Colin Holmes didn't feel surprised.

"Did you ever go to B city when you were a child?"

When I heard this, I immediately became vigilant. Did this person detect something wrong with me, so he came to test me?

B City, isn't that the place where Andrea Bailey grew up?

Under the high-speed operation of my brain, I immediately shook my head and denied, "I have never been there."

Colin Holmes's eyes narrowed as if something was flashing inside. Even his voice was lower. "You haven't been there?"

"I've never been there!" I insist.

I've been hanging out with A city since I was A child. I've never been to B city.

Somehow, hearing my answer, Colin Holmes seemed to be relieved. He leaned against the chair with one hand supporting his forehead.

"Are you familiar with Andrea Bailey?"

If I hadn't been so concentrated, I would have jumped up from the chair!

Who else is more familiar than me?

Then--

Siobhan Bailey's POV

"Not familiar." I rolled my eyes.

"I think so." Colin Holmes seemed to be talking to me or to himself.

I don't know what he is doing.

"Are you full? Let me drive you home if you are full."

"No, thanks." I waved my hands and tried to avoid him. After all, it's my first time to meet him today. Although I'm interested in handsome men, I still have to be careful of their beauty.

Colin Holmes raised his eyebrows and looked at me with a faint smile.

"You have a girlfriend now, and I have a boyfriend now. It's not appropriate."

"Why didn't you say it was inappropriate when I fed you just now?"

"I didn't have a plate just now. Now I have a driver!"

"Oh? Where is your driver?"

Only then did I realize where my driver is?

I didn't see Kelly Moore either.

I made a phone call. It didn't take long for Kelly Moore to come here. She didn't seem to be surprised to see Colin Holmes with me.

The silver gray Rolls-Royce stopped at the gate of the Bailey Family mansion and I got off.

When I walked in the yard, I realized that I went out to buy a dress today, but I didn't buy it back. I was so angry.

What a bad luck.

Whe I opened the door of the villa, I was greeted with a slap.

My heart was still fluttering with fear. If I hadn't dodged quickly, my face would have been ruined?

"Beauty Killer!" Bruce Bailey asked angrily.

"I'll leave it to Chris Harris."

"Siobhan!" Sally Bailey frowned and shouted unhappily, "that's the property of our Bailey Group. How can you give it to an outsider?"

"Then who do you think is your wife?" I crossed my arms over my chest and raised my eyebrows to look at her.

"Even if it's your boyfriend who will take care of it, can you come back after you give it to an outsider?"

"Boyfriend? Where did I get a boyfriend?"

"Isn't Johnny your boyfriend?"

I almost couldn't help laughing out loud. If I could get it back after giving it to Johnny Stewart, it would be impossible!

And... Johnny?How intimate!

"If I give it to Johnny, at least it's our family. Siobhan, you're young. I don't blame you for being thoughtless." Sally Bailey said sincerely, pretending to be generous.

Young? I tilted my head and smiled, thinking about my age.

"Mom!" Sharon Bailey cried out, "I saw her having an affair with Chris Harris today. She must have cuckolded my cousin!"

Cousin? I was stunned.

Was there any relation between Johnny Stewart and Sally Bailey?

Johnny Stewart never told me about it, nor did Sally Bailey!

Just now, Sally Bailey said that Johnny Stewart was a member of her family. Then I finally understood why Sally Bailey kept praising Johnny Stewart in front of me and trying to sell him to me. It turned out they were relatives!

If it weren't for Sally Bailey, I wouldn't have been with Johnny Stewart.

When Johnny Stewart's company was just sarted, the capital turnover was not good, but every time Johnny Stewart had a way to solve the problem. Andrea Bailey had thought about where his money came from. It turned out that he had been swindled from Siobhan Bailey!

The two people's memories were connected, making everything clear that could not be explained at the beginning. And this also exposed the conspiracy of Sally Bailey.

Conspiracy, it was a conspiracy!

Sally Bailey had been paying attention to my mother's will, but she couldn't do anything about it. It was clearly written in the will that the shares of the Bailey Group belonged to Siobhan Bailey, so Sally Bailey could not fight for it openly, but could only fight in secret!

"Sharon, don't talk nonsense! Siobhan is your sister!" Of course, Sally Bailey didn't know that I had thought everything through. As before, she still wanted to act as a good mother.

"Because of her, I lost my face in front of Colin!" Sharon Bailey was still crying. She hadn't seen Colin Holmes for many times, and it was ruined by Siobhan Bailey. How could she not be angry!

Thinking of this, Sharon Bailey really wanted to strangle her.

"It doesn't matter. You are his girlfriend. There will be many chances in the future." Sally Bailey tried to comfort her.

The noisy living room finally calmed down a little. Bruce Bailey rubbed his forehead wearily and said, "I don't care what method you use. You must get the shop back from Chris Harris!"

"What if I say no?"

"Believe it or not..." Bruce Bailey raised his hand high again.

"Beat! right here!" I pointed at my face and said, "remember, beat hard!"

"I haven't been beaten for a long time. I almost forget what it feels like." I ironically looked at Bruce Bailey's stiff movements.

"I'm sleepy. I'll go upstairs first." I strode up the stairs and made a phone call. "Send me a set of Beauty Killer's clothes this year to the Bailey Family mansion. Yes, one for each style!"

Bruce Bailey almost fainted when he saw how lawless I was.

Sharon Bailey glared at the empty stairway. Why! Why could she be so arrogant!

The person in charge of the Beauty Killer was very efficient. After a short while, he came over with his men and hung all the things in the cloakroom of my bedroom. There were also a variety of jewelry, shoes, bags... The people in the hall were sitting on the sofa, staring blankly at a group of people coming and going.

An hour had passed, but the things were still not sent out. Bruce Bailey couldn't help but stand up and pull a person.

"Isn't it a little too much?"
