Chapter 574 "If This Isn’t Love?"
Shirley also found it strange. She hadn't even made a move yet, and the trouble was already resolved?
It felt unreal, like winning the lottery.
‘When I say you can leave, you can leave. If you don't want to, you can go back and continue staying
here." The prison guard furrowed her brows, sounding extremely impatient.
She never had a good attitude towards wealthy girls like Nancy who relied on connections to evade
legal consequences.
"I'm willing. I'm willing. I'll leave right away!' Nancy was too excited, unable to contain herself.
Happiness came too quickly, like a tornado. She didn't even have time to think about it. She quickly
tidied up, changed into the clothes she was wearing when she was arrested, and walked out of the
prison cell.
‘Shirley, I'm finally free!" As soon as she stepped out of the prison gates and smelled the fresh air
outside, looking at the bright moon in the sky, tears filled Nancy's eyes. She tightly embraced Shirley.
’It's all over now, it's all over. You didn't do it on purpose. You're also a victim. Freedom is only natural,’
Shirley embraced Nancy, gently patting her back and comforting her tenderly.
‘Sob, sob, Shirley, let me tell you, this place is more terrifying than hell. It's not a place for humans. We
must always abide by the law and never get involved with this kind of place in our lives..."
’Of course." Shirley's heart tightened, and she couldn't help but shiver. She thought about the 'life' she
had on her hands, which was even more heinous than Nancy's. She could easily be charged with
murder, and it wouldn't be resolved in just three to five years. It could be life imprisonment or even the
death penalty!

‘However, if it wasn't for you helping, then who would have helped?' Nancy wiped away her tears,
puzzled. "I have such poor social connections.
Besides you, I really can't think of anyone with the ability to get me out. Could it be my father or my
brother?"
But this matter was kept completely confidential, and her brother was currently on an expedition to
Antarctica. It wouldn't be possible for him to receive the news so quickly.
Her father was still angry, having declared that he would no longer care about her life after their last
falling out. It wouldn't make sense for him to intervene so quickly either.
‘Maybe it's someone secretly in love with you?" Shirley was also filled with curiosity and sighed,
"Regardless of who this person is, they certainly have quite the ability. After all, this kind of thing can't
be solved with just money."
As the two were talking, a silver sports car on the roadside honked its horn. Shirley and Nancy both
looked toward the car.
Then, they saw Keith open the car door and elegantly step out, his charming phoenix eyes curved into
a captivating arc.
'Is it him?" Shirley and Nancy exchanged a glance, surprised yet feeling that it was within reason.
Yes, why didn't they think of Keith? This guy’s feelings for Nancy couldn't be considered pure. With
such an incident, he must have been at the forefront.
‘Shouldn't... shouldn't be!' Nancy swallowed nervously, feeling a bit apprehensive.
Lately, she hadn't had much interaction with Keith, and their relationship had remained at the level of
'friends.' Just ordinary friends, there shouldn't have been any reason to alarm Mr. Charles.
‘Only one way to find out," after Shirley said that, she pulled Nancy toward Keith and straightforwardly
asked, "Keith, did you use your connections to get Nancy out of here?"
Keith raised an eyebrow slightly and casually replied, "Didn't really use any connections, just spent a
little money.'
’Specifically, money alone wouldn't be enough to resolve this matter."
"Specifically, I transferred 50 million to the victim's family's account, then sent a few people dressed in
black with knives to pay them a fruit basket. After that... they realized that Steven Beltran had been a
jerk, so they reached a settlement with the police."
Keith spoke lightly, as if it was as simple as buying groceries. But this grocery shopping came at a sky-
high price!
Shirley patted his shoulder, unable to contain her laughter, "You're something else! Just giving away
$50 million. If this isn't love...’
Nancy blushed and tugged at Shirley's sleeve, "Shirley, don't say that."
Then, she raised her head, composed herself, and said to Keith firmly, ‘Keith, thank you. I will find a
way to repay you the 50 million.’
‘Just 50 million?" Keith joked, "Do you know how much interest that amount would accumulate in a day
in the bank?"
Nancy’s face darkened instantly. Oops, it was the same old recipe. She was still as clueless as ever. It
seemed she had been moved for nothing.
‘All right, calculate the interest based on the bank's rate. I'll repay you within a year."
Nancy gritted her teeth.
’That won't do," Keith continued teasing, ’You should know that my family also has a high-interest loan
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbusiness. So the interest can't be calculated based on the bank's rate. Let's say... it'll be a 4% interest."
4% interest? High-interest loans are only 3% interest. Why don't you just become a loan shark?" Nancy
felt that she had been taken advantage of and turned around, "I think I'd better go back. Being in prison
is better than being drained of all my marrow and bones."
’Hahaha, don't worry, you can definitely afford the interest. I just want you to accompany me."
Keith grabbed Nancy's arm and playfully kneeled down.
Shirley watched them, one teasing, the other responding, and couldn't help but smile like an aunt. Ah...
Keith finally straightened up. It was about time.
‘Um, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do. I'll leave first!"
Then she swiftly 'whooshed' away.
'Hey, Shirley, I'll go with you. I..." Nancy tried to chase after Shirley, but Keith held her back. She
watched her good friend leave in a taxi.
‘What are you two up to? Did you conspire together?" The woman couldn't help but turn her head and
let go of Keith's hand.
’No, it was entirely my own doing," Keith put his hands in his pockets and half-jokingly, half-seriously
said, ’You don't know how difficult that couple was to deal with. They almost cost me my life. I was
haggling with them for almost a week before they agreed to sign a settlement agreement.’
Nancy couldn't help but feel touched. She bit her lip and said, "Regardless, thank you. I’ll remember
this favor."
‘We don't need to be so polite between us," Keith said and made an inviting gesture, "Let's go. I'll take
you to have a good meal and ward off bad luck."
’No need." Nancy adjusted her hair, and her wounds became visible. "What happened to your eyes?’
Keith noticed the injuries on Nancy's face. He had just been acting like a silly husky, but now he turned
serious, exuding a chilling aura.
