Secret Wealthy Marriage

When Simon Carrington arrived at Henry Carrington’s house, Shane Auclair had just eaten breakfast alone. She had changed her clothes and put on makeup, sitting in the living room as if she had prepared herself specifically to wait for Simon.

"Oh, look who’s here, my dear uncle-in-law," Shane said with a forced smile as she heard from the servant.

"Hello, sister-in-law." Simon walked in, greeted Shane first, and then looked around, "Isn’t Stella at home? It’s the weekend."

"Yes, it is the weekend. Heidi’s uncle took the two sisters to the Countryside to see the ocean. I didn’t know you would be back today. If you had called us beforehand, I wouldn’t have let them go," Shane said as she instructed the servant to make tea, casually dealing with him.

"..." Simon’s eyes suddenly turned frosty.

Shane, fearless, stepped up to him. It was a good thing someone tipped her off and gave her advice; otherwise, she really wouldn’t know how to restrain Simon. If Simon had taken Stella away, it would only be Heidi and herself left, helplessly crying out with no one to hear them.

For now, at least they had Stella as their trump card, and Simon dared not act rashly.

However, Shane didn’t realize that their presumptuous actions were akin to digging their own graves. Simon wasn’t very angry initially—as long as Henry returned the embezzled funds to the company quickly, by some compromise method, writing an IOU, or deducting it from his salary every month, Simon wouldn’t have gone to extremes, considering their brotherly bond.

But, he had never thought Shane would consider hiding Stella away.
