Her Biliionaire Husband (Veronica and Matthew)
Chapter 1071 Shirley Wilson Knows the Truth

After hesitation, she clenched her fists and took the courage to remove the mask from her face, revealing a fair and delicate complexion marred by a sinister scar.

"Tsk tsk..."

When Skyler's mother, Keysha Oliver, saw Shirley's appearance, she clicked her tongue and shook her head. "What a pity. You have such a delicate face. How did it end up like this? Don't you plan to have plastic surgery to restore it?"

Confronted by the formidable presence of the woman, Shirley felt a suffocated pressure that prevented her from raising her head to meet her gaze. Perhaps it was the deep-seated insecurity within her that robbed her of the courage she needed.

"I... I do plan to, but the wound hasn't healed yet, and it will take some more time," she answered truthfully.

Keysha nodded slightly and gazed at Shirley. "Do you like Skyler?" she straightforwardly questioned.

"Yes."

"Do you plan to marry Skyler?"

With a direct question, Shirley was taken aback and looked up in alarm at Keysha. However, the powerful presence of the well-maintained, charming plumpy noblewoman compelled her to lower her head. "I... think so," she stammered.

"Great."

Instead of the refusion, the lady gladly agreed.

Shirley knew things wouldn't be that simple. Instead, she lightly pursed her lips and repeatedly encouraged and forced herself to directly meet Keysha's gaze, waiting for her following words.

"Well, let's talk about my son then," Keysha concisely stated. "Skyler may appear suave and light-minded to outsiders, but as a mother, I know he has only had two relationships in total. Well, including you, it makes it three. The first was when he mistook 'liking someone' for love during his first infatuation. He fell in love with Sofia Green when he met her. He loved Sofia for eight years, but they broke up due to a small mistake."

"After the breakup, Sofia went to Castron and married someone, but that person was not someone Sofia genuinely liked. It was all just to make Skyler jealous. However, my son is also a stubborn person, and when he found out that Sofia had married someone, he couldn't accept it, which gradually made him develop feelings for you. In other words, he... "

She scrutinized Shirley with the gaze of examining an item. "You're not his type. I suppose he's just using you to provoke Sofia. Also, seeing you being beaten by Sofia makes him feel guilty, and your disfigurement evokes his sympathy."

Keysha's words were sharp and pierced Shirley's heart with each word. The pain was almost unbearable, as if it were bleeding, but she struggled to conceal it. However, respect must be shown since she was facing Skyler's mother.

"However, if you're not afraid of him toying with your emotions and truly want to marry him, I won't stop you," the woman glanced at her phone and said. "In two days, it's his grandmother's birthday celebration, and they will invite businessmen and celebrities from various fields. If you dare to attend without makeup, I think... his grandmother might agree."

"Oh, I forgot to mention. Skyler inherited his father's bad habit of being very concerned about his reputation." Keysha seemed to remember something and said.

Without waiting for Shirley's response, Keysha turned around, got into the car, and drove away without another word.

Shirley stood still and watched as the car gradually moved farther away. Her heart sank deeper.

Although Keysha's words were not particularly sharp and mean, Shirley understood the meaning clearly.

Firstly, Skyler's father, Friderik Robins, would disagree because she was disfigured. Secondly, Skyler was somewhat famous in Bloomstead, and, just like his father, he cared a lot about his reputation. If she were to attend Skyler's grandmother's birthday party without makeup, not only would she but the entire Robins family would also be ridiculed.

Ding-

Just then, the sound of a text message notification rang from the phone.

Shirley picked up her phone in a daze and opened a text message. It was a video message where in the video, Veronica and Matthew conversed in Melinda's office at the plastic surgery clinic.

Veronica asked, "Miss Levine, is there really no solution to my sister's scar-prone condition?"

Melinda shook her head and let out a sigh. "The scars on her face are too deep, and she is prone to scarring. Even after multiple repairs, the results will be minimal."

Clang! Shirley's phone slipped and fell to the ground. Her body lost focus upon hearing the bad news.
