CHAPTER 33

Before she could go on, Frank’s grip around her tightened slightly, and Shirley let out a painful hiss.

illegitimate child… Tamara’s face fell at once the moment she heard those words, and she scoffed coldly. “I know you were born in a distinguished family, Miss Goldie-you’re the young lady of the Goldie Family. Is that why everyone else’s kid is an illegitimate child to you?”

Frank only let her go when he saw that Shirley’s face was pale with agony. He took out a piece of tissue paper and wiped his hand clean, as if he’d touched something dirty.

“You… You don’t even know how you came to have him, so what else can he be besides an illegitimate child?” Shirley was in a lot of pain, but she was still stubborn with her words.

“Shirley!” The air around Frank seemed to have gotten a few degrees colder all of a sudden.

In terms of connection, the Goldies and the Holts were considered acquainted. That was why Elle had

m up with each other. Frank only didn’t want to pick a bone with Shirley out of respect for Ronald Goldie, the old master of the family. But he didn’t think that Shirley would continue to act more and more brash.

Meanwhile, Shirley was completely blinded by anger. Not only was she not scared, but she even

started to sound smug. “I bet Old Mrs. Holt hasn’t approved of your relationship either, right? Otherwise, she wouldn’t have arranged a date for me with Frank. This alone proves that he’s an illegitimate child. Also, you’re Tamara Randall, aren’t you? You’re a divorced woman who gave birth to a bastard-it’s no wonder the old madam wouldn’t approve of you!”

Shirley had run an investigation on Tamara’s background, so it was natural that she knew about the matter that had caused an uproar five years ago. She felt exceptionally liberating to let it all out at this moment.

There was nothing that Tamara hated more than hearing hateful comments about Tim. However, this woman was speaking nothing but the truth, so Tamara couldn’t find the words to argue. She felt cold

all over; the look in her eyes was hostile and her red lips parted slightly. She pointed at Shirley and asked Frank in an accusatory tone, “Frank, who’s she?”

Frank took a step forward; his thick brows knitted just a little as he said to Tamara in a low voice, “She’s Miss Goldie.”

Tamara bit down on her lip and anger rose in her chest.

Well done, Frank! Going on arranged dates behind my back, huh?

The next second, Tim stepped forward. He held Tamara’s trembling hand in his to make her calm down. He kept his other hand in his pocket, and a look of pure enmity filled his face. He looked exactly like Frank when he was angry. Property © of .

“Why’re you still going on arranged dates when you’re almost 30, you old maid? Not only that, but you keep clinging on to a man with a family. Even the man who’s supposed to be on a date with you has

already run away after seeing your ugly true colors, hasn’t he?”

Hearing that, Shirley turned around instinctively. Sure enough, the man who was here with her was already long gone.

Meanwhile, Tim simply continued, “Also, marriage and divorce are nothing more than bread and butter in today’s society. If two people stop loving each other, the only right thing to do is to get a divorce before things get worse. I don’t think this is a valid reason for you to ridicule my mommy. My mommy is amazing for raising me all alone-she’s much better compared to an old spinster like you. You have such a stinky attitude and you can’t even feed yourself… No wonder nobody wants to be with you.”

Tim’s every word was as sharp as a dagger. The longer Shirley listened to him, the more dramatic her facial expressions became.

“It seems like you’re worrying about us a little too much, Miss Goldie. I’m always ready to marry her into the family, as long as she’s happy to do that.” Frank stared readily at Shirley’s colorful expressions as he let out a scoff. “When the time comes, I sure hope to see the entire Goldie Family at our wedding!”

Shirley’s face turned white when she heard Frank’s remark which had an underlying sense of threat. She finally realized that he was obviously protective toward the woman and the child. It definitely didn’t seem like he was reluctant to accept the kid as his son!

Moreover, she just gave Frank’s own son a fierce scolding a moment ago. Even though the Goldie Group was quite an established company, it was still unbelievably unwise to anger Cloud Industries.

Just as Shirley was about to apologize, a hard slap landed on her cheek all of a sudden, making her head spin.
