Icy tossed Shirley’s hand. WHen she first returned to her home city, Shirley Lindley did a good job to give her a positive impression, and she once treated her as a friend. Very soon, Icy discovered that it was a bad idea to be friends with her. Now her life was on the verge of disarray because of Ms. Lindley, maybe half of the turmoil was caused by her.

Now she acted like a nice person again and pretended that she seeked her forgiveness. This was indeed ridiculous. Shirley’s performance was so good that she should quit her job as a designer; and should try to become an actress. Her family was very wealthy and definitely had more than enough resources to make her famous.

“What? ....Are you serious about this?” Shirley stepped backward and couldn’t believe what Icy had just said. Her elder brother was here, she thought Icy wouldn’t allow her to go in front of the whole company to apologize; Icy must try to stop her. “I am serious, if it is really what you want, then let's go together, i won’t stop you.” Icy replied coldly. If Shirley was serious about what she said, apology to Icy in front of the whole company, why would she be bullshitting here?

“No… I don’t really mean that… What I actually want to say is…” SHirley hesitated and choked; she faced round to look at her brother and stretched her hand to tug his suit. There was no way he could allow his own younger sister to say sorry to an employee publicly. “Forget about it. I really need to work now, Can you excuse me?” Icy gestured them to leave her alone so that she can start working. Her new office wasn’t a platform for Shirley’s acting and drama.

“Icy, Okay, you go back to your work and no need to worry about other issues.” Hosea Lindley understood that Icy didn’t want to continue the discussion with Shirley, so maybe it was time for him to say something nice to end this conversation, and walk away. “Mr. Lindley, thank you very much for your regard, I will do my best.” Finished talking, Icy walked back to her desk, sat down, and turned on her computers. Hosea Lindley gave Icy a quick glance, grabbed Shirley’s arm and walked out together.

“Brother, can you see that? I already said sorry to her and she still acted like that…” As soon as the brother and sister left the new chamber, SHirley couldn’t control herself anymore. She had lowered her tone and her voice and was being diplomatic to give Icy a chance to look good or to step out, but she didn't understand and had no idea who she was dealing with here.

“It is okay. Please don’t say more. You should try to understand her and think from her point of view. She recently came back from overseas and so many had happened. Her behaviours were totally understandable.” Hosea explained to his sister, trying to calm her down. In fact everyone would act the same.

“Brother, I heard that she went home from hospital by herself. Did you go visit her? What happened that day? How did she go home?” Shirley Lindley changed the topic. That day Paxon Chevy left her in the hospital parking lot, and then he was nowhere to be found. Later she was told that Paxon was in the commercial area near the hospital; Icy was in the vicinity too and disappeared very soon.

SHirley didn’t want to ask her sources more directly, or Paxon would suspect that his girlfriend was spying him, and he would be angry with her for sure. So, she must try other method to find out what happened that day after Chevy left her. Hosea Lindley was in the hospital; maybe he knew something.

“Why do you want to know?” Hosea squinted his eyes and tried to understand her intention. “Well, I am just curious. I heard that Cheung beat her up badly. How could she get discharged in one day? I was worried about her. Brother, do you think your sister, me was a evil-minded person? Shirley and Hosea grew up together; and she knew his brother’s strength and weakness; she knew well where and when she must stop pushing; after all she was a mistress of intrigue.

Hosea Lindley was a gentle and kind person; he was a man of goodwill and tended to believe that other people were as nice as him. All Shirley needed to do was pretending to be obedient, meek and mild; he would lower his defence. She was proven to be right again; her brother hesitated a second and told her everything.

“That day after she left hospital, she saw Paxon by chance and he drove her home. So you have nothing to worry about. She was fine. You just need to make sure you will not make similar mistake in the future.” Hosea Lindley was referring to that she tried to stop Icy from participating the design exhibition. She really shouldn’t have done that.

“Paxon Drove her and her son home?” SHirley furrowed her brows. The Pax she knew wasn’t really helpful and charitable. “You promise you won’t seek trouble again, okay? Pax gave her a ride home because she was carrying heavy stuffs and a boy. You should go back to your work too. I have a meeting to attend and must go now.” Hosea Lindley gave his sister a glance, telling her not to bother Icy anymore, who seemed to have forgiven her. “Of course, brother, I will see you later.” Pondering his words, Shirley replied hastily, smiled sweetly and waved his brother goodbye.

Hosea Lindley had entered the elevator; Shirley Lindley waited and looked at the elevator until the indicator light reached basement second floor; her smiling face faded and a murderous look emerged. Pang! The door was slammed open; Icy was stunned and sprang from her chair. What was it this time? Before she could think and react, Shirley closed the door, locked it and staggered furiously to her.

“Bitch!” SHirley Lindley didn’t say anything and didn’t allow Icy to say anything; she gave her a slap on her face. “Bitch!” When she wanted to strike again, Icy was able to catch her palm this time. “What do you think you are doing? Are you crazy?” Icy thrust Shirley who then fell onto the sofa. Rubbing her aching face, Icy wondered what’s wrong with this crazy woman.

“You know what you have done. That day you left the hospital, why did you ensnare Pax? Don’t you know that he is my fiance? You are very shameful. WHore!” Shirley spat. Why did Pax drive this kind of whore home? They had been together for so long, and he seldom drove her home without her asking.

“Shirley, You have been mistaken. Believe it or not. It was a sheer coincidence. Your brother knew it too. You can ask him yourself. Being driven home by someone’s fiance, Icy felt that she was indeed in the wrong and had a weak case; she didn’t want to continue this dispute with Shirley.

“Ask my brother? What am I supposed to find out?” Are you saying that you were not in his car?” Shirley Lindley laughed strangely. This is ridiculous. How could Icy get the man easily, the man who she had always desired and long for.

“I did get into his car, but it was a misunderstanding. I didn’t want him to drive us home either. I think I am wrong this time, I apologize to you.” Icy took a deep breath; she was a reasonable person and she admitted that she shouldn’t be driven home by Paxon Chevy.

“Shit. You’d better stop acting. If you really mean what you are saying, go back to the foreign country where you came from. And don’t ever let me and Pax see you again, especially Pax. Shirley Lindley stood up, walked close to Icy and gazed at her angrily. “Are you nut? I was born in this country. How can you tell me to leave my mother country? Okay, you must leave me alone, while you can and while I am still reasonable, because I really don’t know what I am going to do next.” Icy finished talking and wobbled toward Shirley. She knew she couldn’t step back now, or SHirley would be winning and her life would become miserable.

“Okay, I have time, patience and more. If you want to play game, I will play with you. You have no idea who you are dealing with now. I am more powerful than you can possibly imagine. Remember what I have just said. Or you will regret.”
