When She Unveils Identities Novel Chapter 176 – 186

When She Unveils Identities Novel Chapter 176 – Your Fate Is Up to You

As the atmosphere was tense, they arrived at Sutor Wharf.

Keith curled his lips and said to Braden with a half–smile, “Braden, why don’t we compete with each other? If you find Shirley first, I will accept the fact that she is yours, and from now on, I will never have any thoughts that cross the line. But if I find her first… I’ll make a move.”

Braden’s eyes were cold and indifferent. He said indifferently, “It’s up to you.”

“Sure enough, you are the top man in Seatle City. How large–minded!”

After Keith finished speaking, he opened the car door and got out of the car in an instant, starting to look for Shirley quickly.

Braden got out of the car slowly, straightened his fine suit, and looked around with indifferent eyes, looking cold and proud, as if he was here making an inspection tour.

The antique market at Sutor Wharf was the largest antique market in the entire Seatle City.

Since it was located at the border of several countries, countless valuable treasures were smuggled here for reselling. The market made a lot of people rich, and it was also the gathering place for criminals. In short, people in various trades could all be found here.

Braden strode through the bustling crowd like a tourist. He walked around, looked around, and finally stopped in front of a stall.

The stall owner was an old man with a gray beard and dark skin. A piece of coarse linen cloth was on the ground, on which all kinds of treasures were laid out.

There were all kinds of treasures, such as ornaments, ancient paintings, pottery figurines, and so on. Each of them seemed aged, and obviously, they were freshly dug out.

Yet the market was full of similar stalls, and the treasures sold by owners were pretty much the same Therefore, there weren’t many people visiting this stall.

“Young man, fancy taking a look at the treasures?”

The old man stroked his beard and said slowly, “The things that I, Kole Maurice, sell are different from those produced wholesale from some small commodity markets. Anything you see here is dug out by me personally from the graves. Just relax. You can’t go wrong with each one of them.”

Braden said, “I’m not here to buy things.”

“I know. You are here to look for someone.”

Kole raised his eyebrows, looked at Braden, and said meaningfully, “You look noble, and I’m sure you aren’t some ordinary man. Since you are willing to condescend to this place where the mixed lot is, it is obvious that the person you are looking for means a lot to you.”

Braden did not admit it, nor did he deny it. He went straight to the point and said, “You strike me as someone mysterious and capable I don’t think there is anything you don’t know.”

Kole paused slightly as he stroked his beard. Then he smiled and said, “I’m not that capable, but I might be of help if you want to find the person.”

“That will be great.”

Braden was a bit intrigued and sat on a chair next to the stall.

Kole took out a tube with dozens of sticks in it.

“Different sticks represent different results. All you need to do is ask sincerely, and the stick that pops out will give you the answer ”

After Kole finished speaking, he pushed the tube to Braden and stretched out his hand. “You may begin.”

Braden narrowed his eyes and looked at the tube Just as he was about to shake it, Keith rushed.

over, drenched in sweat.

“Braden, seriously? Are you a tourist here? I can’t believe you’re in the mood to buy antiques. Are

you really not worried that I might find her before you and snatch her away from you?”

“Not at all. You can’t have her, and you are not a threat to me,” Braden sneered.

“What? What are you talking about? How come I can’t have her? Are you saying that I’m bad at wooing women?”

Keith acted childishly and was determined to compete with Braden. He continued, “Don’t forget.

that I taught you those tricks when wooing women. That makes me your teacher How dare you.

offend me?”

Braden replied, “Then does she strike you as an ordinary woman? Do you think those lame tricks of yours will work on her?”

“Well…”

Keith instantly wasn’t that confident anymore.

Keith thought, Shirley is not like other women. She is so smart and lucid, and she sees right through me in seconds. How could she be so easy to take down?

Let alone other things, I have been running around all night and searching half the wharf, and she is still nowhere to be seen. Therefore, I am here in the dumps, wanting to see if Braden has any leads.

Keith was a little embarrassed. He braced himself to change the subject and said, “Braden, what are you doing? Why are you holding a tube? Are you a witch or something?”

Braden ignored Keith and began to shake the tube.

He shook the tube about five times, and one of the sticks fell to the ground.

Kole picked it up and looked at the words on it with a complicated expression.

“Young man, what do you want to know?”

Braden said clearly, “I wonder if she and I are still meant to be

Needless to say, he was referring to Shirley.

Kole let out a long sigh and said, “Wind is unpredictable. It can be either strong or gentle. Similarly,

your fate is up to you.”

“What do you mean?” Braden frowned.

“The things between you and her are like the wind, and no one can tell what might happen. You two may have come to an end, but not entirely. From the words on the stick, you won’t have any contact with her for at least the next four years. As for whether anything might change after those four years, it depends on the state of you and her If you two still miss each other and still want to be with each other, then you may still have a chance. If either of you gives up, then nothing will ever happen

between you two.”

Kole explained it very carefully and was very straightforward.

Braden didn’t say anything.

He was lost in thought and silent for a long time.

Keith, who was aside while listening to their whole conversation, said disdainfully, “Tsk! What a charlatan! None of your words make any sense. One minute you say it’s over between them, and the next you say they still have a chance. Pick a side!”

Then Keith comforted Braden, “Braden, don’t listen to him. I have already ordered a lockdown of the wharf. Shirley can’t hide from us whatsoever. The only question is whether you or I find her first. You won’t be waiting for four years!”

Kole was not angry. He stroked his beard and said to Keith, “Young man, if you are not convinced,

you may give it a go and see which stick you get as well.”

Keith grabbed the tube and shook it with his eyes closed.

Soon, another stick fell.

“No matter where you are, your loved one is on the way, and a wedding can be foreseen.”

Keith read the words on the stick, and his handsome face was filled with joy. “Hey! This is interesting. From the looks of it, I’m about to meet my loved one. Maybe Shirley will be mine after all.”

Kole smiled, “You are lucky indeed. The stick indicates that you will meet the destined one tonight.”

Hearing that, Braden and Keith reacted totally differently.

Braden’s face was cold to the extreme, while Keith had a big grin on his face.

“The destined one… Come on! Surely it’s Shirley!”

He immediately clapped and shouted, “Sir, I didn’t give you enough credit. You are so capable!”

What was even more dumbfounding was that Keith’s phone rang. His men told him that there was news. However, the situation was a bit complicated, and they wanted him to go to the underground casino at the antique market right now.

“Braden, Shirley is in the underground casino now. She is probably in trouble To be fair, let’s rush over there together. Whoever gets her out first gets to be with her What do you say?”

Chapter 177 The Casino

As soon as Keith finished speaking, he rushed out.

“What a childish man!”

Braden rubbed his temples and shook his head.

He was worried about Shirley as well. So, he stood up and followed Keith.

Surprisingly, the old man stopped him and said meaningfully, “It’s an important chance for your

friend. He will meet someone special tonight. There is no hurry to catch him up. Why don’t you stay

a little longer and take a look at my stall? You can pick a commodity here. It might be a token for you

and your beloved to get back together one day.”

The old man’s words sounded strange. Few people would take them seriously.

However, Braden trusted him inexplicably. He stopped and observed the commodities in the old

man’s stall. Then, he was attracted by a piece of silk.

To be exact, he was attracted by the pattern on the silk.

“How much is this silk?”

Braden asked the old man.

“It’s lucky to meet you today. I just need one dollar. You can take it home.”

After the old man finished speaking, he carefully put the silk into the box and handed it to Braden. “You are an expert. You are very knowledgeable. It is a blessing for the silk to be bought by you.”

“Thank you.”

Braden took it.

Although there were many questions in his heart, he was afraid that Shirley would be in danger. He didn’t waste time anymore and rushed to the underground casino.

The underground casino was located in the antique market of Sutor Wharf. It was a dangerous. place, which was free of law and full of violence.

The casino was filled with blood and horror as a place beyond the law. Lots of people died there.

every day.

Braden couldn’t figure out why Shirley went there She probably didn’t realize how dangerous the place was at all. Braden felt anxious at the thought of her current situation.

It was crowded in the underground casino. It was a horrible place as it was filled with the acrid

smell of tobacco and other unknown items.

Everything could be traded here, and no one would follow the law. A great number of gamblers surrounded the gambling table with red eyes. They could earn a fortune as well as become

penniless overnight.

As soon as Braden entered, he frowned at the unpleasant smell inside.

He casually glanced around and saw a bloody beating heart on a gambling table

A sexy female dealer in a tight black leather dress with rabbit ears on her head pointed at the heart and said to the gamblers around, “Everyone, take a good look. It’s a bull’s heart. Since it has just been taken out, it is still beating. It’s good for your health if you eat it raw. Alright, you can start to

bet.”

All the gamblers began to bet one after another, and the dealer kept moving the body as she rolled

the die.

Soon, the result came out. It was a fat man who won the heart. With his jaw wide open, he took the heart and began to bite it. His mouth was full of blood, and everyone cheered.

Braden felt nauseous and quickly looked away.

Although the heart was a bull’s, it was not much different from the human heart. It was disgusting.

Braden looked around the casino and found that similar scenes were everywhere. All those people

here seemed to be insane.

He had heard of the underground casino at Sutor Wharf long ago. However, he didn’t expect it to be

such a crazy place.

Braden was about to have a blood phobia. He felt like he couldn’t breathe and was dizzy. He couldn’t

stay here any longer

He took a deep breath and forced himself to search around.

He thought, Shirley, you indeed know how to bother me. When I find you, you will be in trouble!

The casino was large, and every area here was crowded. However, one of them seemed to be the

most popular area. Numerous people surrounded a round gambling table and continuously let out

excited and wretched cries.

Braden immediately realized that something was going on over there, so he quickly walked over.

To his surprise, a young woman was tied up with a rope on the round gambling table.

The woman was dressed in a thin white dress. With a feather mask on her face, she curled herself

up and shivered in fear

Braden’s heart sank, and his hands clenched into fists. He worked hard not to rush over

The facial features of the woman under the feather mask were exactly the same as Shirley’s.

Braden observed the woman’s delicate nose, tender lips, and pretty neck and collarbone. He had to

admit that they were truly the same as Shirley’s.

However, the woman had a collar on her neck. With a chain on it, she was held by a tall and strong

tanned man.

“Look, she is a stunning beauty. You can win her back for yourself or others. It won’t be a loss. Is

there anyone who wants to bet?”

The tanned man shouted and tugged at the iron chain. In an instant, the woman’s body moved

charmingly, and she let out a groan in pain.

All the men surrounding her were ignited by her pitiful groan immediately. They shouted out.

loudly and kept throwing money onto the table.

Braden stopped as soon as he heard the woman’s voice.

He stood motionlessly, sinking in thoughts. His expression was no longer tense and became cold.

Just then, Keith, who stood in the center of the crowd, spoke.

“I’ll count down. You’d better give her to me. Otherwise, all of you will be in big trouble.”

The tanned man would meet people like Keith every day, so he was extremely calm. He laughed and

said to Keith, “Everyone here loves the beauty. If you want her, you can spend money to bet. As long

as you win, you can take her home.”

Keith did not have the patience. With a snort, he said, “Three, two…”

While he counted down, the security guards of the casino began to gather around him. Each security guard held a weapon in their hands.

However, Keith was not afraid at all.

Although the casino was powerful, it was no match for the Guerra family.

Keith had ordered his people to ask for help before the guards here moved towards him.

All the guards aimed their guns at Keith.

The tanned man jumped down and said to Keith, “You are courting death. How dare you cause trouble here? Do you know what place it is? It’s your date of death today”

The tanned man threw a punch at Keith’s face. The latter dodged and gave the tanned man a hard

kick.

The tanned man was sent flying, and he let go of the chain in his hand.

The woman, who was tied up by the chain, was about to be sent flying off the gambling table as well. As soon as Keith saw it, he reached out his arms and caught her firmly.

The woman was so light. Keith felt as if he carried a feather and wondered if Shirley was this light.

Keith’s heart beat crazily. He was like a young man who had just fallen in love. He held the woman. in his arms and didn’t dare to move at all. He asked nervously, “Are you alright? I saved you again

this time.”

Braden stood at the outermost edge of the crowd, watching the scene with an expressionless face. It seemed that he was watching a play, which had nothing to do with himself.

At the same time, the tanned man who was lying on the ground became furious and shouted to the security guards, “Hurry up and kill them!”

Chapter 178 You Fool!

“Be careful!”

Braden warned loudly from the edge of the crowd.

Anyway, they were not on their land. What Keith did was high–profile. He would be in danger and at a disadvantage.

“He doesn’t come alone.

The tanned man noticed Braden and pointed at him. He said to another group of security guards, “Go and kill him right away!”

“Stop! How dare you!”

In an instant, Keith was no longer calm.

He put down Shirley, who was in his arms. Then, he glared at the tanned man with cold eyes and said fiercely, “How rude you are! Do you know who he is? How dare you curse him! You are courting

death!”

The tanned man was stunned at Keith’s words.

Keith was bolder than anyone the tanned man had met before. The tanned man wondered, what’s

wrong with this man? Does he know the current situation? He is at death’s door. How dared he provoke me again?

Without a word, Keith kicked the tanned man in the stomach and shouted, “He is Braden. Have you

ever heard of him? Hurry up and kneel before him.”

Braden didn’t know what to say for a while. He didn’t understand why Keith did so. He had no habit. of asking someone else to kneel before him.

Actually, he didn’t want to get involved, but Keith’s words put him in hot water. It seemed that the tanned man wouldn’t let him off easily. Braden regretted speaking to Keith just now.

The security guards pointed their guns at Braden and Keith. As soon as they pulled the trigger, the latter probably couldn’t leave the casino anymore. However, as they stared at Braden and Keith, they felt intimidated and didn’t dare to do anything. No one wanted to be the first one to shoot.

“Release them and call your manager over. I will take full responsibility for the matter.”

Braden said to the tanned man, who was kicked on the ground, with his hands in his pockets.

Keith said coolly, “Braden, you can leave with Shirley. Leave it to me. I know how to deal with such a

condition better than you.”

The Guerra family controlled most of the businesses in the entertainment industry of Seatle City

Many of these businesses were in the gray area. As Keith had been in the industry since he was a

child, he was skilled at dealing with similar matters.

“You are risking your neck!”

The tanned man’s head was stepped on by Keith. No matter how hard he struggled, he was unable to

free himself. He was so angry that his black face turned red. He shouted to the security guards, “What are you doing? Hurry up and kill them all!”

The security guards regained their senses and were ready to shoot.

Just then, there came a trembling voice, “Stop!”

The tanned man was about to curse However, he paled when he saw who it was.

At the same time, the armed security guards lowered their heads and shouted in unison, “Good

evening, Mr Dell!” They seemed to be scared.

Clearly, the man was their manager

His name was Torr Dell. He was in his forties and looked shrewd.

As soon as Torr made his way through the crowd to Keith and Braden, he knelt before them and said, “Mr. Guerra, I’m sorry I didn’t know that you brought a friend here today. It’s my fault for not asking people to entertain you. The security guards didn’t know you. They didn’t mean to offend you. Please go easy on them…”

As he said, Torr kicked the tanned man a few times in anger He pointed at his head and scolded, “You fool! How dare you offend Mr. Guerra! Do you know how the Guerra family has helped the underground casino? Without them, it wouldn’t have been built at Sutor Wharf. You are supposed to be grateful to them. How could you try to hurt Mr. Guerra?”

Seeing that the tanned man was about to die, Keith raised his eyebrows and said casually, “Alright, let him off. Braden is a kind person. He is not accustomed to such a scene. Let’s call it today. Be

careful in the future.”

“Yes!”

Torr nodded hard. The tanned man almost fell apart. He hurriedly said, “Mr Guerra, it’s my fault. Thank you for forgiving me

It made sense that they were humble. They couldn’t afford to annoy the Guerra family at all. Working in an underground casino, they might not take the law seriously, but they did not dare to ignore the Guerra family They couldn’t suffer the consequences of it.

Keith had ordered his people to go to Torr before he entered the casino. That was why he had behaved arrogantly

“It smells bad in the casino. I can’t stay here any longer

Keith covered his nose and said disdainfully.

“Mr Guerra, I can’t help it. I have to attract more people to come here in this way. Although the casino is chaotic, it’s a magical place. You can get whatever you want from here.”

Torr didn’t own the underground casino. At most, he was the person in charge.

In the past few years, he had managed the casino well and even made it famous all over the world

under the instructions of the real boss.

Keith sneered, “Yes, everything can be traded here. However, I didn’t expect you to be this bold. You kidnapped Braden’s wife You are courting death!”

Hearing this, Torr broke out in a cold sweat and said carefully, “Mr Guerra, may I ask, is the person you mentioned from the Stewart Group?”

“That’s right.”

“Are you serious?”

Torr could hardly maintain calm anymore.

The Stewart family was the head of the top eight families in Seatle City. It was even more powerful

and influential than the Guerra family. Torr almost collapsed at the thought of what they had done.

They had kidnapped Braden’s wife. They were at death’s door today.

Torr kicked the tanned man on the ground again. “What did you do? How dare you kidnap Mr. Stewart’s wife? You put all of us in trouble now. Didn’t I tell you earlier to be cautious? You can’t

hurt anyone from the top eight families. We are dying!”

The black didn’t dare to fight back. He could only explain carefully, “No, I didn’t kidnap Mr Stewart’s wife To be precise, I didn’t kidnap anyone… I don’t know who she is at all. She sold herself to me!”

Everyone looked at Shirley, who wore a white dress and a feather facial mask. Her mouth was.

covered with a seal.

Keith was so angry that he wanted to kill the tanned man. “What nonsense are you talking about? As Braden’s wife, she is richer than you can imagine. It’s impossible for her to sell herself, okay?”

The tanned man repeatedly nodded and cried, “It’s true. I didn’t lie. She asked me for 160 thousand dollars. After I transferred the money to her, I took her to the casino. If you don’t believe me, you can ask her.”

“Is that so?”

Keith found it strange.

Shirley had a technology company and a law firm. What was more, she gained a lot of money from Braden. He didn’t believe that she would sell herself for 160 thousand dollars.

He walked to Shirley and was about to help her take off her mask. Just then, he thought of something and stopped.

“Braden, come on and help Shirley. You found her earlier than me. You should do it.”

Keith truly had affection towards Shirley.

However, he forced himself to respect her

He could make jokes with her, but he had to know what he could do and what he couldn’t.

To his surprise, Braden shrugged indifferently. “Do you forget what the old man said? You will

meet someone special in your life tonight. What does it have to do with me? Hurry up! She is waiting for you to save her!”

Chapter 179 Thank You

After Braden said it casually, he turned around and left without even glancing at Shirley.

“Hey, Braden, are you leaving?”

Keith looked at Braden’s back and realized he had gone overboard. Keith shouted anxiously, “I was joking with you. Why did you take it seriously? Don’t worry. She is still your wife. Even if I saved her, she is still your wife. I won’t do anything rash!”

“It doesn’t matter You can do whatever you want.”

With his back to them, Braden made an “OK” gesture, leaving without looking back.

Keith couldn’t persuade him to stay, so Keith stayed where he was in a daze.

Was Braden really so generous that he could give away his wife?

Keith turned around and looked at Shirley, who was still tied up as if he was looking at a wrapped

gift. He felt a little embarrassed.

“Well, Shirley, don’t be afraid. Braden is probably jealous. He has run away, so I can only take care

of you for now.”

Keith didn’t dare to have ill intentions toward Shirley.

However, his fake politeness seemed shady.

Keith couldn’t help himself. Shirley was wearing a transparent thin silk dress. With the ropes and

iron chains on her body, she looked too seductive.

“Hmm!”

Shirley’s mouth was sealed by tape and she could not speak. She could only make a soft voice like a kitten and shook her head fiercely, looking like she was frightened.

“Don’t worry. I’ll untie the rope for you first.”

After Keith finished speaking, he was busy untying the rope for Shirley.

The rope was a bit thick. It was wrapped around her body, not easy to untie.

Keith would inevitably touch her skin.

Shirley’s hair was like seaweed, emitting a faint fragrance like a lilac. It swept past Keith’s handsome face. He was so tempted.

“Don’t worry. It will be untied soon!”

Keith took a deep breath and suppressed his desire for her

It was going to kill him. How could he know the woman he had disliked the most was so charming? Who wouldn’t be seduced by her charm?

Finally, all the ropes were untied.

Keith was sweating profusely. It wasn’t because he was tired, but he was nervous.

After regaining her freedom, Shirley gently moved his limbs. There were red marks on her skin left by the rope. She looked pitiful.

“I’ll help you take off your mask as well. You look quite good when you wear it. You look pitiful instead of aggressive as you usually do…

As Keith spoke, he carefully took off the mask for Shirley.

However, the moment the mask was taken off, he and the woman looked at each other. He found

she wasn’t Shirley!

“You… You are…”

Keith was so shocked that he took a step back and stared at the woman as if he had seen a ghost.

Her eyes were clear and gentle. There was also tenacity in them. They were exactly the same as

Shirley’s.

Not only that, but her facial features were also similar to Shirley’s. She was like a replica of Shirley.

It was not difficult to understand why Keith would be mistaken.

The woman quickly took off the tape on her mouth and looked at Keith with tears in her eyes. She said excitedly, “Sir, thank you for taking me. If not for you, I would be that man’s. Then I would be

dead. You saved me… From now on, I am yours.”

“What the hell?”

Keith swallowed and was unable to digest what the woman said.

“I sold myself to the casino. The casino can deal with me at will. I didn’t intend to live anymore, because my life will be a living hell no matter which man takes me. Fortunately, I am lucky to be

saved by you…”

She was too excited and couldn’t help but get closer to Keith.

“Don’t Don’t. Don’t come over!”

Keith was a tall man, but he kept retreating as if he had seen a terrible monster, keeping a distance

from her

The woman’s slim body froze, and she looked a little hurt. “Sir, you think I’ll pester you? Do you

despise me?”

“No, no, no!”

Keith waved his hand. “I don’t mean that. I just think you are a human, not an item. You shouldn’t give away your life so casually.”

“I understand what you mean, but I have signed an indenture with the casino to sell myself. If you don’t want me, then another man will take me. I don’t want to be tied up like a commodity and put on the gambling table for disgusting men to fight for

“There’s an indenture?”

Keith frowned and looked at Torr

Torr was scared and immediately urged the man in black to hand over the indenture.

“Here Here…. The casino spent 160 thousand dollars to buy her, and now she belongs to you!”

The man in black nervously took out an indenture with a woman’s signature and handprint on it.

Keith took it and looked at the name on it. He whispered, “Alice Palmer?”

Then, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly realized something.

“I remember you. The girl who danced with Braden at a bar. No wonder I found you. familiar ”

“Sir, you finally remembered me. We met at the bar not long ago. At that time, I had a deep

impression of you.”

Alice’s eyes were gentle as she looked at Keith.

That night, she had a crush on Braden, and Keith had also attracted her attention.

Because Keith was her type. He was handsome and cheerful.

However, that night, she had swooned over Braden’s coldness and melancholy, so she had ignored.

other men.

When she came to her senses, she realized Braden wasn’t her type. Keith’s face appeared in her

mind often.

Until just now, when Keith had saved her, she had completely fallen for him.…….

She had thought she had nothing to live for, but now she saw the motivation to live!

“Can you take me away? I promise I won’t drag you down. I can work for you and help you earn

money…

Alice pulled Keith’s arm, and she was selling herself seriously. She told him about her university,

major, and talents.

“Okay, I’ll take you away.”

Keith nodded and pulled the woman out of the foul casino.

Outside the casino, the sky was blue, and the air was fresh. It was like heaven compared to the

casino.

Keith looked at his watch. It was getting late. He tore up the indenture and said to Alice, who had been following him, “Now that you are free, you can leave.”

Alice froze for a moment. She looked at the indenture that now meant nothing and said, “I know you don’t like me, so you don’t want me, but I don’t like owing people favors. I will find a way to repay you… Goodbye!”

Keith raised his eyebrows as if he wanted to explain something, but in the end, he only said lightly, “Goodbye!”

They parted ways.

However, before Alice took a few steps, she fell heavily to the ground.

Chapter 180 His Calamity

“Ah, someone fainted!”

The crowd shouted in panic.

Keith had gotten in the car and did not want to care about a woman that had nothing to do with him.

But in the end, noticing more and more people surrounding Alice, including some men with ill intentions, Keith could not help but frown and quickly walk over

“All of you, get out of the way!”

Keith pushed aside the dense crowd and spoke in a dignified voice

When the crowd realized he was a rich young man, they obediently made way for him.

However, some arrogant punks did not take Keith seriously, trying to carry an unconscious Alice

away.

“Let go of her!”

Keith put his hands in his pockets and ordered a scar–faced man who touched Alice.

“Who the hell are you? Mind your own business. I saw this girl first. Don’t snatch her from me!”

After the scar–faced man finished speaking, he grabbed Alice’s arm and openly carried her on his

back, preparing to leave.

The onlookers were not surprised. Not only did they not stop him, but they were envious.

It was a feature of Sutor Wharf, commonly known as “picking up corpses“.

Any woman who fell unconscious on the street, whether she was drunk, dizzy from hunger, or sick, became a public resource. Whoever picked her up first would have her, and the law could not.

control it.

A stunning beauty like Alice was a rare treasure How could someone who picked her up let go so easily?

“I told you. Let go of her!”

Keith blocked the scar faced man’s way with his tall body. Keith’s frivolous expression was now ruthless, making people shudder.

Of course, the scar faced man was famous in this area. Ordinary people did not dare to provoke him, so naturally, he would not buckle to Keith.

“Why do I need to listen to you?”

“Because she is mine!”

After Keith finished speaking word by word, he took out the indenture that he had torn apart and sneered, “This is the indenture I just got from Torr. If you insist on taking her away, I can only ask

Torr for her

“Torr?”

The scar faced man swallowed his saliva, and his eyes turned scared.

Torr was the king in this area, and no one dared to offend him.

“I’ll give you three seconds. Decide whether you will let her go….

H

Keith said coldly, “Three

“Here you are! Here you

are!”

The scar–faced man was instantly terrified. He stuffed Alice into Keith’s arms and stubbornly argued, “The girl is so skinny. I am not interested. Whoever wants her can play with her I don’t

care!”

Keith carefully held Alice in his arms like a baby, afraid of dropping or hurting her

She was indeed skinny. Alice was of medium height and as light as a feather She might be

malnourished.

Keith had thought Shirley was the thinnest woman he had ever carried, but he was surprised Alice

was thinner

Keith lowered his head to look at the woman in his arms. She had a face that resembled Shirley’s,

but her skin was fairer than Shirley’s, and her eyes were gentler

Her two thin eyebrows were knitted together She looked pained and melancholic. He didn’t know

what she had experienced and felt sorry for her

Keith reached out his hand, wanting to smooth Alice’s eyebrows.

At this time, Alice slightly opened her eyes, weakly but gently smiling at him.

“Eh you woke up. I saw a mosquito on your face, so 1.

Keith guiltily explained

He was a playboy but he had rarely been so flustered. It was really embarrassing

“I heard everything

Alice lay in Kently a arms and said lightly

“Eh, what did you hear?”

“You said I was yours. It means you accept me, right?”

“Don’t misunderstand. It happened so suddenly just now. I had no choice but to…”

“Thank you!”

Although Alice was smiling, her eyes were red. She said meaningfully, “With your words, I can die

with no regrets. I won’t be alone on the road to the underworld.”

“What are you talking about? Why do you keep mentioning death?”

Keith’s heart lurched. He felt Alice was strange as if she was telling her last words.

“Can I ask you to do me a small favor?”

Alice grabbed Keith’s arm, her eyes full of sorrow.

As he looked at the pitiful woman, Keith’s attitude softened.

“After I died, put my ashes in a small box and then bury them in an ancient well in the village. There is no need for a funeral. Just send someone to pay my respects….

When Alice said that, her breathing was weak.

Keith felt something was wrong. He asked with a serious expression, “What’s wrong with you? Are you hiding something from me?”

“I’m fine L… Cough! Cough!”

When Alice said that, she spat out a large mouthful of blood and fell unconscious.

Keith panicked. He quickly carried her into the car and said, “Hang in there, I’ll send you to the hospital right away. Hang in there!”

The car sped through the crowd.

Perhaps from this moment on, their fates were bound together.

Just as the old man had said, Alice was Keith’s destiny and calamity!

It was late at night when Braden returned to the Stewart’s house at Sutor Wharf.

There was still no news of Shirley.

Shirley, as if she knew magic, vanished off the face of the earth!

Karen comforted Braden, “Braden, don’t worry too much. I’ll send more people to search for her

We will search other countries… I’ve worked with the information department of other countries to lock onto Ms. Wilson’s personal information. I believe it’s only a matter of time before we find

her!”

However, Braden was no longer enthusiastic He said lightly, “There’s no need to find her. Just let

her be!”

“Braden, what do you mean by that? Are you going to give up just like that?”

“There are too many gaps between her and me that we can’t cross. Even if I find her, we’ll hurt each other It’s better to forget each other and never meet again!”

“What you said makes sense, but… are you sure you can really let go?”

“So what if I can? And what if I can’t? Maybe we are not right for each other in the first place It’s

just that I am not used to the sudden divorce, so I don’t want to let her go. Time will cure

everything.”

Braden didn’t suddenly think things through. It was all thanks to the old man’s words.

The old man said he and Shirley’s relationship wasn’t right in the past four years. Whether they could really be together depended on their feelings for each other.

Time was a good thing. It could throw a person in love and make him sober

It could also make those who were deeply in love more affectionate and understand their own

feelings.

Braden felt he and Shirley both needed time to calm down and understand their hearts…

After Braden finished speaking, he went upstairs and returned to the bedroom.

He spread out the silk he had bought from the old man on the table. Then he spread out a baby blanket and put the two together

Sure enough, the patterns converge, looking like a map.

Braden salvaged the baby blanket from the Wilson’s house in the fire. However, he did not tell

Shirley about it.

When he saw the silk in the antique market, he felt its patterns were related to Shirley’s baby

blanket.

Braden studied it carefully and suddenly discovered something. “This map….……..

Chapter 181 Play With Fire

Braden was surprised to find that the terrain and route of this map were surprisingly similar to the entrance to the ancestral tomb of the Stewart family in Lorren Mountain in North City.

The Stewart family had a long history. They were all generals and ministers for generations and had great power The family had been active in the North City. Their ancestors were buried in Lorren Mountain in the North City.

Then the family went down south and created a kingdom in Seatle City, which was separated from

the North City by a sea.

In these years, apart from important ceremonies, the Stewart family rarely returned to the North

City

“That’s strange. How could the topographic map of the Stewart family’s ancestral home be embroidered in Shirley’s baby blanket?”

Could it be that the Stewart family and the Wilson family had some sort of relationship?

Braden could only ask his grandfather about this.

Thinking of that, Braden carefully placed the baby blanket and silk into a small box.

He suddenly remembered something and took out Shirley’s notebook with a Kraft cover. He called

Keith.

At this moment, Keith was sitting on a bench outside the emergency room, waiting for Alice’s

rescue results.

Keith thought he was probably crazy.

Keith never meddled in other people’s business and was used to being alone. This time, he was actually so “warm–hearted“. For some reason, he picked up “trouble“. And for this “trouble“, he

didn’t even eat dinner!

“Braden, it’s so late. Why are you looking for me?”

Although Keith picked up Braden’s call, his attention was still on the flashing red light in the

emergency room.

Because when the red light stopped flashing, it meant the rescue would end.

He knew nothing about Alice, but he was worried about her, and he did not want her to die like this.

“I showed you the notebook in the car. You promised to help me with something. Do you

remember?”

Braden asked slowly from the other side of the line.

“Ahem, can I say I don’t remember?”

When Keith heard Braden’s tone, he knew something bad was going to happen.

It was like Braden wanted to cause Keith trouble

Braden said, “Don’t be so nervous. This is a profitable business. I won’t cheat you.”

Keith said, “Thank you, Braden. I don’t lack money. You can keep this good thing for yourself!”

What a joke! Keith, Braden, and Karen had grown up together How could Keith not know what

Braden was like?

Braden understood what he meant and didn’t answer

“You don’t lack money, do you?”

Braden half jokingly said, “It seems the Guerra family’s performance has been great recently. It’s

time to experience a little storm…”

“No, no, no. Braden, don’t beat around the bush. Just tell me what you want me to help you with.”

Keith was afraid of being cheated and buckled.

Keith was cunning, and everyone wanted to avoid him, but Braden was worse, and Keith wanted to

avoid him.

Resistance was not an option, so Keith had to buckle.

“What do you think of the novel?”

Braden asked Keith with a straight face.

“Good! It’s awesome!”

Keith slapped his thigh and instantly became excited. It was unknown if he was truly feeling emotional or if he was cursing indirectly. “Especially the male protagonist! His character is so

vivid. He is a total jerk!”

Braden was displeased.

He suspected Keith was talking about him, but he had no evidence.

Because the male protagonist was indeed stupid and hateful.

“I need you to turn the novel into a movie in three months. It will be released in the world and

become a hit!

Braden went straight to the point and said his request.

The Guerra family had a world–famous entertainment company, Universe Entertainment. All its artists were international superstars. They produced many world–renowned movies, TV shows, variety shows, and so on. Braden knew Keith could handle this.

“I felt the same way after reading it!”

Keith’s eyes lit up, and he said, “The novel’s characters are vivid, and it has a strong conflict. It should be turned into a show, but the plot is too melodramatic. It’s more suitable to be made into a heart–crushing idol drama. It’s difficult if you want to make it a world–famous movie.”

“If it were easy, why would I need you?

“Three months later, I want to see the movie become famous all over the world.” Braden was firm

about this.

Keith wanted to cry.

“Braden, you can’t make a decision so rashly. Even if we make it into a movie, the novel hasn’t ended yet. Who will act in it? Will there be a copyright dispute? Have you considered it?”

“I don’t care about that.”

Braden played an overbearing CEO to the extreme. He said coldly, “Three months later, I will check the results. If it fails, you will be in trouble.”

“Hey, Braden, you can’t be like this. You…”

“Beep…”

Braden hung up the phone.

Keith stood still and wanted to cry.

It was easy to film a movie, but… it was hard to make such a melodramatic movie world–famous.

At this time, the red light in the emergency room finally stopped flashing.

The doctor came out of the operating room, looking relaxed.

“How is she, doctor?”

Keith quickly stepped forward and asked.

“She is lucky to survive the poison.”

The doctor sighed with emotion, “I have saved many people who tried to kill themselves by taking poison. Most of them didn’t want to live, but this girl really wants to… She can take half the credit”

“You mean she is like this because she took poison?”

Keith was surprised.

It seemed she hadn’t been lying when she said she sold herself to Torr’s subordinate intending to

die.

She had planned to die before selling her body and giving up on her dignity. She sold herself as a commodity just for 160 thousand dollars?

Why did she need the money in such a rush?

Keith’s curiosity about Alice increased a lot. It was not a good thing.

“Yes, the poison is potent. One drop of it can penetrate a person’s intestines. I just gave her a gastric lavage and found she drank at least half a bottle. She was really cruel to herself!”

The doctor shook his head. He guessed the young couple must have quarreled, so the girl did something silly. The doctor advised earnestly, “Girls always value relationships. As a man, treat your woman better… Her stomach has suffered. In the future, she must pay attention to her diet. She can’t eat spicy food. Otherwise, something bad will happen.”

“I understand.” Keith nodded.

“Alright, there’s nothing else. Go to her and take care of her

After the doctor finished speaking, he left.

Keith walked towards Alice’s ward, but when he reached the door, he stopped.

Because he realized he seemed to care too much about the woman he didn’t know at all!

Keith’s hand was placed on the door handle, but in the end, he didn’t open it.

Forget it, Keith. You’ve already done enough. If you continue… you will play with fire!

Chapter 182 In One Shot

Three months later, on a private island in Southeast Asia, Shirley lay on a white hammock.

She ate iced watermelon and scrolled through short videos happily.

She was more than two months away from the expected date of childbirth, and her belly was very

big.

After leaving Seatle City, she had been staying on this island. Every day, she would enjoy the sea

breeze, eat, and drink. She would read stories and take care of the Korita Group and the law firm

remotely. Her life was leisurely and comfortable.

Sure enough, just like what was said online, don’t get close to men, because they would make you

miserable!

Ever since Shirley completely left Braden’s world, she had been enjoying herself. She was in great

health and slept until she woke up naturally. She was happy and grew fatter

She had bought this private island many years ago with her academic bonus, patent fees, and pocket money she had saved up since she was a child. She built it according to her dream.

She had planned to turn the island into a paradise and bring her grandfather and parents here for a

vacation.

Unfortunately, the universe did not grant her wish. Not long after the island was built, an accident happened at home. Because she married into the Stewart family, she didn’t have time to come to

the island.

All these years, Ewan paid to maintain the island. Not only was it not abandoned, but it was built better It even had a base station that could provide signals.

So, Shirley could surf the Internet without her personal information getting locked on.

It was not an exaggeration to say that this island was a small country. It had everything. As long as Shirley wanted, she could live here until she died of old age, and she would never have to worry about being discovered!

Shirley named the island Sunflower Island. She planted many sunflowers here, hoping when the children were born, they would be like the flowers, forever following the sun and with strong and optimistic hearts!

Shirley’s nurse, May, also lived on the island with Shirley.

May inherited her ancestor’s medical skills and paid attention to the development of the fetus. Every day, she made all kinds of nutritious meals for Shirley.

They were looking forward to the birth of the children to bring more vitality to the island!

Ta da. The sound of a speedboat came from the dock.

After May saw the person who got off the boat from afar, she excitedly said to Shirley, “Hey, Ms. Wilson, quickly look here!”

Shirley was swaying in the hammock and happily watching short videos. She didn’t raise her head and said, “Other than Ewan, who else could it be?”

“Not only Mr Parker, but Ms. Parker is here!”

“What? Nancy is here?”

Shirley’s big eyes lit up. She held the hammock pillar and wanted to get up to welcome them.

Nancy ran to Shirley wearing a slip top and super short jeans.

“Shirley, I miss you so much!”

Nancy opened her arms and gave Shirley a tight hug

The hug made Ewan, who was behind her, tremble in fear

“Didn’t I warn you not to be so reckless? Shirley is almost seven months pregnant now. If you hurt her, the consequences will be unimaginable!”

Ewan said while frowning. He forcefully separated the two women.

He was dressed in casual clothes. He wore a white shirt with beach shorts. The handsome face under the sunglasses was more than enough to be on a magazine cover Many women had been charmed by him.

Now, in his unrestrained handsomeness, there was another trace of the caring daddy style.

“Okay, okay, you are so wordy. During the nine hours of travel, you never stopped talking. You look. like you are going to be a father!”

Nancy impatiently rolled her eyes at Ewan and held Shirley again, but this time she was careful and

gentle.

She touched Shirley’s baby bump and said, “Shirley, your belly is so big. It’s amazing. Are there really two little babies inside?”

Shirley guessed Ewan had confessed everything to Nancy and did not plan to hide it. She smiled and said, “Yes, twins. A girl and a boy. They will be born in two months.”

Shirley also felt that life was so magical.

In the days she stayed on the island, her world seemed to have slowed down. She could feel her

babies growing every day.

She talked to, sang, and told stories to the children. They seemed to be able to understand her They would always respond to her, making her feel extremely happy..

“A boy and a girl!”

Nancy’s eyes almost fell to the ground in shock. “You are so awesome You got them in one shot? 1 thought you never had sex with Braden. Now I think you guys did it a lot. Otherwise, twins!”

“Eh…”

Shirley rested her hand on her forehead, feeling a little embarrassed.

Nancy was so straightforward. How could Shirley explain this?

Braden’s sperm was great, she guessed. Or, Shirley was too healthy

“But Braden’s family doesn’t have twin genes. Could it be…?”

Nancy jumped up in excitement. “Don’t tell me you are pregnant with my brother’s child! After all, my family has twin genes… That’s great! I’m going to be an aunt! I’m going to be an aunt!”

Shirley didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Shirley hoped she was pregnant with Ewan’s children so that they could have a good father

Ewan would come to the island to visit her every few days. He would report to her about the situation of the Korita Group and make her happy.

Every time he came, Ewan would bring her and her children a lot of gifts and prepare a lot of jokes. He would take care of her and make her laugh.

Many times, Shirley felt regret. Why did she not like Ewan? He was such a good man and risked his life for her. He could do anything for her and always made her the priority. Why didn’t she like him?

Perhaps, it was fate. She was destined to like Braden.

There was no reason for that, even though he hurt her a lot.

Braden hated her so much and hurt her so unscrupulously. He was born to do it, right? Shirley had to let herself get hurt. It was no one’s fault!

“Do you remember what you promised me before? Stop gossiping!”

Ewan slapped Nancy’s head. He regretted his heart softened and he brought Nancy here.

“If not for the fact that you thought Shirley was murdered, crying at home all day and even seeking revenge on Braden, I would never bring you here!”

Ewan shook his head repeatedly.

He had no way to deal with his twin sister

“In short…, it doesn’t matter who the father of the children is. You just need to remember that their mother is Shirley!”

“I understand. I understand. No matter what kind of dreadful beast their father is, I will still love them, because Shirley is their mother. I will treat them as my own.”

Nancy embraced Shirley and talked for a long time Suddenly, she thought of something and quickly took out her phone. “Oh right, Shirley, I want to show you something good!”

Chapter 183 Braden Stars in “Summery Memories”

“What’s that?”

Shirley was curious and quickly went over to take a look.

She saw Nancy turn on a video, which seemed to be taken in a movie theater Several men and women stood in front of the screen as if they were advertising the movie.

“This is…”

When Shirley saw the actors and actresses introduce themselves, she opened her mouth in shock.

“You didn’t expect it, did you? This is the premiere of the movie “Summery Memories” It was adapted from the novel about you and Braden. I watched it, and it was a wonderful movie. I cried at

it.”

Nancy was excited when she said that, and she wanted to watch it again.

“I know what you feel, but why will Braden the jerk star in the movie?”

Shirley rubbed her eyes repeatedly and confirmed that the man was Braden. She couldn’t believe that the male lead of the movie was actually Braden.

Wasn’t he a workaholic? He was a business elite who could earn 100 million dollars in a minute. But he actually went to make this kind of dramatic film. Was he too idle, or did the production team get the goods on him?

“Yeah. This movie was secretly made and was suddenly announced for release. When the cast was publicly released, the entertainment industry, business industry, the upper class, and normal people were all stunned. And this movie immediately became hot. Rumor has it that the reason Braden wanted to star in the film was that he wrote the script. It turned out that he was the writer of the famous novel. And the film was made in memory of you.”

“Bullshit!”

Shirley scolded angrily, “He’s not the writer! How shameless he is to plagiarize someone else’s work! What’s wrong with the audience? Can a cold and ruthless jerk like him create such warm and emotional work?”

“Hey, don’t be excited. Sit down and talk slowly. It won’t be good if the fetus is affected.”

Nancy pulled Shirley to sit down and said carefully, “I also think that with Braden’s cold blood and heartless character, he couldn’t create such a touching novel. But up until now, the author has not come out to refute the rumor. So everyone thought that the original author is Braden.

“Besides, the novel that was published on the Internet has not finished yet, and this movie is a complete version of the novel. I think that the plot is reasonable as if it was created by the same

person. The second part of the story is even more touching than the first part. You will know when you watch it!”

“T”

Shirley was at a loss for a moment. She didn’t know what to say.

She really wanted to tell Nancy that the novel was not written by Braden, because she was the

author

However, when she thought of the first half of the story, in which the heroine was described as a humble, affectionate figure, which represented herself, Shirley didn’t want to admit that she was

the writer

“I don’t think it’s a good movie. Braden is like a fox. He wants to use the movie to whitewash himself and advertise for the Stewart Group.

Ewan, who had been silent all this time, crossed his arms and said disdainfully, “Because of the divorce, Braden attracted a lot of scolding of himself and the Stewart Group. It once affected the company’s stock price. The reason he made a movie and starred in it was that he wanted to describe himself as an affectionate person. In fact, he was hypocritical and fickle!”

“I agree with that!”

Nancy raised her hand and agreed with Ewan’s analysis. “This movie is really popular Although it hasn’t been released, it’s famous among the crowd. And Braden has gained a lot of fans. The Stewart Group’s popularity has also risen, directly driving the stock price of the Stewart Group to

rise ”

“He is indeed cunning.”

Only then did Shirley remember that when she browsed the stocks in the morning, the Stewart Group’s stock price rose.

She was wondering why the Stewart Group’s stock price would rise, as there were no new movements in the company recently. It turned out that it was because of a movie.

“I also heard that the reason Braden starred in the film was to chase the leading lady. The woman was quite powerful. She seemed to be in an intimate relationship with Keith, the man behind the back of the production team and the boss of Universe Entertainment.”

Nancy loved to spill the tea, so she was very informative. She pointed to the actress on the screen and said, “Do you think this woman looks familiar? Does she look like you?

Shirley frowned and said, “I think I’ve seen her somewhere before.”

“Don’t you remember her? She’s the one Braden took away at the bar. She looks very much like you!”

“Oh, I remember ”

Shirley finally remembered it and felt a little complicated.

She had thought that Braden would feel guilty and only love Amelie for the rest of his life, but she didn’t expect him to change his mind so quickly.

Men were really fickle

“What do you think he is thinking? Why did he spend so much money on this woman?”

Nancy looked at Shirley and then looked at Alice on the phone screen. They looked too alike

“Is it because the jerk hasn’t gotten over you, so he found a woman who looks like you as a

substitute?”

“Don’t talk nonsense!”

Shirley’s eyes were calm, and she said coldly, “It’s just that he still hates me. I killed his child, causing his beloved woman to have her womb removed. It was nice enough for him not to kill me.”

“Then does he know that you are also pregnant with his child? If he knew, would you….

“Enough!”

Shirley interrupted Nancy and said impatiently, “If you are my good friend, don’t mention this jerk. in front of me again. Both children are mine, and they have nothing to do with others. If you continue to talk nonsense, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

“I’m sorry, Shirley. I wasn’t considerate. I understand your feelings and promise not to mention him again. Or I will be at your disposal.”

Nancy quickly swore.

Actually, after watching the movie, Nancy felt sad that Shirley and Braden weren’t together

However, nowadays, it was a good choice for a woman to keep the children with her when she was divorced. As her good friend, Nancy naturally supported Shirley.

Shirley did not say anything else. She said to Ewan beside her, “Go to the study room. Let’s talk

alone!”

They came to the study room of the seaside villa.

Ewan took out the USB and gave a detailed report on the recent situation of Korita Group. Their biggest move was to build their own research and development center.

Ewan had always been against this plan.

The plan wouldn’t start operating until Shirley signed, so he tried to persuade her, “This project is

actually very risky and will cost a lot of money. The biggest difficulty is that we do not have an excellent research and development team.

“Maybe in the end, we will get nothing and cause the company to saddle with a huge debt and become a joke in the industry.

“Moreover, terminal companies like us mainly focus on production and sales. We don’t need a research and development center Just like the Stewart Group, they don’t have their own research and development center. They cooperate with professional research and development companies and become the industry leader with their excellent productivity and sales ability”

“Is that so?”

Shirley rested her chin on her hand and raised her eyebrows. “Just do as I say. We will take their place and become the industry leader sooner or later

Chapter 184 Shirley Copies the Movie

After Shirley sent off Ewan and Nancy, it was already dark.

The island returned to its peace. The fragrance of flowers accompanied by the gentle wind made

Shirley feel extremely pleasant.

Shirley looked around the island and felt the plants. And she even fed the newly raised kitten canned food for half an hour. It seemed that she was deliberately trying to avoid something.

During this time, her big watery eyes would occasionally look at the computer. She then flexed her fingers and was ready to do something.

In the end, she couldn’t resist her curiosity and turned on the computer.

She typed on the keyboard and hacked into the internal system of the production center and copied the upcoming movie of “Summery Memories“.

She wanted to see how awesome Braden was so that he could gain so many good reviews on his first

movie.

The movie lasted for more than two hours. Shirley projected it to the private theater, prepared

some snacks, leaned on the sofa, and watched the movie.

Shirley admitted that the movie had a good texture. It vividly depicted pure love, and each frame was made carefully, which was different from the crudely–made bad movies.

The first scene of the movie caught Shirley’s attention.

The plot displayed how the male and female leads met each other on a rainy day in midsummer.

As Shirley watched the movie, her eyes turned red. She felt that she was not watching the movie but re–experiencing her previous life.

The four years of marriage were shortened to two hours. The sweet and bitter moments, the joys and sorrows, were all displayed in the movie.

The latter part of the movie was composed by Braden. It was not as sad as the former part, and it mainly talked about how the male and female leads raised the baby. It was sweet and warm.

But one day, the male and female leads quarreled because of a small misunderstanding. The female lead was so angry that she ran away from home and never came back.

The male lead took the baby to every corner of the world to find the female lead. And every place he went, he wrote a postcard to the female lead.

There were more and more postcards, and they stuffed the suitcase, but the male lead didn’t hear

any news about the female lead

Finally, in the dream of the male lead, he murmured, “You are finally back.” That was the end of the

movie.

As the prototype of the female lead, Shirley could not calm down for a long time after watching the

movie.

She wiped the tears that kept streaming down her face with a tissue and said in her heart, I didn’t expect this jerk to be so talented. The continuation is very touching. In order to whitewash himself,

he tried every means.

Suddenly, the private theater was lit up.

May went in to watch Shirley with worry. “Ms. Wilson, why are you crying? Did you think of something sad? Or did someone bully you?”

“Well, I…”

Shirley was too embarrassed to say that she was crying because she was moved by Braden’s movie.

“Did the cat bully you?”

May pointed at the cat in Shirley’s arms and said sternly to the cat, “I have told you not to keep close to Ms. Wilson. She’s pregnant. You can’t lie on her stomach, or you will press on the baby Come

here!”

The cat looked aggrieved. She jumped in front of the movie screen and sat quietly.

May then noticed that the male lead in the movie was Braden!

“Oh, my dear, did he film a movie? Is the Stewart Group going to go bankrupt? He’s coming to make

money in the entertainment industry.”

Shirley didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She said half–jokingly, half–seriously, “Theard that he

was to pursue the actress.”

“Disgusting.”

Ever since May found out that Braden had almost strangled Shirley in order to vent anger for

Amelie, she hated Braden to the extreme. And May didn’t want to see him again.

Now, hearing that this cold–blooded and heartless man was chasing another woman, she was even angrier and scolded, “He is such a jerk. Sooner or later, he will ruin his reputation for his

promiscuity Ms. Wilson, you made the right choice to leave him. Otherwise, you will have to end him going out and messing around. Babies growing up in that kind of environment will not be happy I support you to be separated from him”

Churley just smiled and didnt say anything

If she didn’t watch this movie, she might have echoed May and scolded Braden.

But after watching the movie, she couldn’t bear to scold him. She felt that the cold man was not as

ruthless as she imagined. He should be sensitive and thoughtful. Otherwise, he couldn’t write such

a beautiful and touching ending.

“Well, for the sake of the baby, I won’t scold him.”

May took a deep breath and suppressed her anger.

As usual, she took Shirley’s pulse and measured the children’s heartbeat, blood sugar, and blood

pressure. All the indices were normal.

“The babies are healthy!”

May was very happy and said, “Mr. Parker heard that you wanted to have a water birth. A while ago, he secretly hired a designer and workers to fix an underwater delivery room for you. The room

extends all the way to the bottom of the sea, and the walls are made of glass. When you give birth to the children, you can see underwater creatures swimming around. It should be very relaxed.”

“Underwater delivery room?

“This is so great. I just mentioned it casually, but he actually remembered it!” Shirley was

surprised.

“Yes, Mr Parker is really considerate to you. He can deal with every detail perfectly, and he really takes you to his heart. In my opinion, Mr. Parker is a hundred times better than that bad guy. How about you let Mr Parker be the babies‘ father?”

In the past, Shirley would definitely refuse.

But this time, she did not refuse. She put her hand on her belly and felt the vitality of the two little guys. Then she whispered, “I will think about it.”

“That’s great. If Mr. Parker knows your thoughts, he will be crazy with joy!”

May sighed, “Ms. Wilson, you finally thought about yourself. If you want to marry, you need to find someone who loves you. This way, you won’t get hurt. If you find someone you love, you might get

hurt.”

Shirley said, “When men and women marry, it may not be because of love. For me, Ewan is my most trusted partner and friend. This kind of friendship lasts longer than the so called romantic love And now. I need a long term and stable relationship.

In Searle City

Keith was trasting with the big shots of the big cinemas and was ready to promote the movie

Farmery Memonies”

Suddenly, he received a call from the distribution party, saying that a mysterious person had copied. the original movie

Keith was shocked and quickly called Braden. “Braden, as you expected, the fish has taken the

bait!”

Chapter 185 Shirley, You Can’t Run Away

Braden had expected that when the movie was hyped up and well–known, Shirley would definitely

do something.

But he didn’t expect that she would act so quickly.

This movie had a premiere privately, and it hadn’t been released. Shirley was so impatient to find it. out. It seemed that she hadn’t let go of the past.

At the same time, Keith came to the president’s office of the Stewart Group and mysteriously

stuffed a note into Braden’s hand.

“Braden, take it. I have helped you with everything. If you still can’t take her, you will let us down.

Don’t blame me for not helping you!”

Braden was focused on his work. He frowned and looked down at the note in his hand. “What is

this?”

“The coordinates of your wife!”

Keith was extremely excited. “Didn’t I tell you just now that a mysterious person invaded our internal system and copied the movie? Then, I spent a lot of money hiring a hacker to trace the address of the mysterious person. It was actually on a small and remote island. If I guess it right,

Shirley is on that island right now.

“Tsk. Tsk. no wonder we couldn’t find her after searching for so long. It turns out that she hides on

an island.”

Braden’s deep eyes shrank for a moment, but soon he looked cold. He said indifferently, “Where she is has nothing to do with me. Take this thing away. I don’t need it.”

“Braden, what are you saying? Didn’t you ask me to pay attention to her every move? When you were filming this movie, you even starred in it. Didn’t you do this for her and want to apologize to her with the movie? You planned to attract her attention. Now she took the bait. But you don’t care

about that now?”

“I asked you to pay attention to her just to verify if she hasn’t let go of the past. Now I know the results, so I don’t care about where she is now.”

As Braden spoke, he handled the documents in his hands. He seemed to really not care about where Shirley was, and he had no intention of looking for her.

This caught Keith off guard.

He was full of confidence that when he found out Shirley’s whereabouts, Braden would go to her immediately, and with this ‘credit‘, Keith could show off in front of Braden. But Braden didn’t play by rules

“Braden, you can’t treat me like a fool. You once urged me to find her and make a movie Wasn’t it because you want to know where she is? Why are you suppressing your missing of her and pretending not to care? Or are you afraid that she will shut you out and make you lose face when you come to her?”

Keith stared at the expressionless Braden and earnestly advised, “It has been three months. You

you

both still can’t continue like this. Or you might not have the chance to get back together. Since care about each other, you should get her back. Even if you fail, you will at most be laughed at by

your

friends. But you won’t have any regrets, right?”

“Why do you care so much about this? Do you love her?”

Braden raised his eyes and continued coldly, “Everyone knows that we have divorced, so you don’t have to worry about my feelings. This is such a good opportunity. If you love her, go get

her

“You!”

Keith was choked by Braden’s words.

Braden was right. Keith did take a fancy to Shirley, but he wasn’t serious. He wouldn’t be with his

friends‘ women.

Besides, Keith seemed to be in love with another woman.

“Is there anything else? I’m very busy.”

Braden ordered Keith to leave coldly as if the whereabouts of Shirley were not important to him at all. Knowing where she was more like a kind of disturbance.

“It’s fine. I shouldn’t have been involved in this.”

Keith was so angry that he took the note back and tore it into pieces. Then he threw it into the trash can and said, “Since you don’t want to look for her, then don’t do it. Anyway, it wasn’t me who would regret it!”

After that, he slammed the door and left.

At this time, it was already deep into the night.

The employees were off work.

Braden was still sitting in his office, dealing with the piles of documents.

In the past few years, the Stewart Group had developed very quickly, and it had also had many. problems and made many enemies.

In the electronic technology section, the Stewart Group, as the terminal provider, was almost invincible and occupied three quarters of the market because of cooperating with KCL Group, the core research and development company

Therefore, many competitors were jealous of them and secretly made things difficult for them. Although the tricks wouldn’t hurt the Stewart Group, they were tricky to deal with.

For example, someone had been spreading rumors, saying that there were problems with the Stewart Group’s new batch of smart bracelets that would be on the market, which was suspected of eavesdropping on the privacy of users. The Stewart Group received a lot of complaints and reports, and its reputation was damaged. That was quite troublesome.

“Inform the public relations department. I need a definite plan to suppress the negative comments.

“Find the source of the rumors, and let the legal department draft a prosecution document to pursue the legal responsibility of the rumormongers.

“Recall the batch of smart bracelets and let IT Department check if there are any loopholes of

eavesdropping.”

Braden had held countless phone conferences, signed countless documents, and reviewed countless projects. Finally, he could no longer bear it. He quickly walked to the trash can and picked

up the broken note that Keith had torn into pieces.

The note was not big, but it was torn into pieces. It was not easy to put them together.

Braden buried his head and struggled for a while. He felt that his eyes were blurred and his head

was fizzy. He cursed, “Damn Keith! Was he a pulverizer in his previous life? It was torn to pieces!”

When Braden was about to put them together, the secretary suddenly pushed open the door and

came in.

“Mr Stewart!

“Well…”

Braden was guilty and quickly blocked the piece of paper. As a result, his big movement sent the

pieces of paper flying to the ground.

The secretary was shocked and went forward to ask, “What’s wrong? Are you alright?”

“Don’t move!”

Braden shouted. He looked at the pieces of paper on the ground and ordered coldly, “Don’t step on

them.”

“Is the floor too dirty? Do you need me to clean it up for you?” the secretary asked, not daring to

move

“No”

Braden finally returned to his composure and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“Mr Guerra just called me He said he had sent you an address. He asked if you…”

The secretary paused and glanced awkwardly at the trash can next to Braden, saying carefully, “He told you not to pick it up in the trash can. It’s very dirty”

Braden was embarrassed and said coldly, “Got it.”

After the secretary left, Braden dawdled for a while and finally checked his Line.

Looking at the address, he frowned and said, “Shirley, you can’t run away this time!”

Chapter 186 Braden Is Tricked by Shirley

Braden took his private plane and flew to the island that Keith told him overnight.

On the way, he repeatedly said in his heart, when I see Shirley, I have to look aloof.

After all, his looking for her was not because he missed her or wanted to fix their relationship. He just wanted to borrow the lawyers of Blosso Law Office because there were too many legal issues in the Stewart Group recently.

“Yes, that’s it!”

Braden thought for a while and finally found a reasonable reason, and he was immediately at ease.

When he arrived at the island, it was the morning of the next day.

The orange–red sun rose from the sea level, and the blue sea was dyed red, looking very spectacular.

Braden took the speedboat and rushed to the island.

As soon as he got on the island, a local little girl child came forward to greet him.

“Sir, are you here to find Shirley?”

The little girl asked him with a pure and genuine smile on her sun–tanned face.

“Yes.”

Braden looked at the little girl and was in a very good mood.

He thought to himself, not bad. She is smart and even knows to find a person to greet me.

“Come with me, I will take you to Shirley.”

The little girl hooked her finger at Braden and ran away.

Braden didn’t have any doubt and followed her closely behind.

He originally thought that it wouldn’t be too far away, but he was wrong.

He climbed up the mountain and walked for two hours without stopping for a moment.

Even though Braden was strong and healthy, he couldn’t help but feel tired. He panted slightly and said to the little girl who led the way, “Haven’t we arrived yet? Where is she?”

“Shirley’s home is very far away, but it’s very beautiful. It’s a paradise. You will definitely fall in love with it if you go there!”

Braden didn’t believe it, but he suppressed his complaints and panted, “Let’s take a break first

The little girl said, “Sir, are you tired from such a short journey? Just like Shirley said, you are just weak!”

Braden was confused.

How dare you, Shirley! When I catch you, I will show you whether I’m weak! Braden thought.

After walking for more than three hours, they finally reached the top of the mountain.

Braden saw a brown church in the distance, facing the wide sea and built on the edge of the cliff.

The little girl turned her head and said to Braden, “Sir, Shirley will come to pray in the church every day. You can go in and find her.”

At this moment, Braden was exhausted from climbing the mountain. He took a deep breath and

made an “OK” gesture to the girl.

“Sir, you are so handsome. Can you give me a hug?”

The little girl blinked her big and looked at Braden innocently.

“Of course.”

Braden’s heart softened, and he gave the little girl a big hug.

After that, the little girl went down the mountain.

Braden wiped the sweat from his forehead, sorted out his hair, and straightened his back. Then he walked step by step towards the church with a cold face

They hadn’t seen each other for three months, and he wondered what kind of person Shirley was now.

Would she be tanned or lose weight? Would she be depressed and sad?

Women valued relationships. And Braden didn’t think Shirley could let the past go so easily. She may hide in bed and cry every day.

He was different.

In the three months that they had been apart, he had become more self disciplined than before. He exercised every day, paid attention to his diet, and had better taste in dressing. He was like a gentleman, attracting many ladies.

The door of the church was closed. Braden had wanted to push it open, but he felt embarrassed. He stood outside the door, cleared his throat, and said coldly, “Come out ”

He didn’t receive any reply

Braden suppressed his displeasure and continued to speak in a cold and aloof manner, “Don’t play hard to get. My patience will be worn out. If I go in to fine you, you’ll be finished!”

He had taken a plane and a speedboat to get here. He even climbed for hours to get to the top of the mountain. He wanted to see what tricks Shirley was going to play.

However, there was still no response.

Braden was furious. He turned around and pushed the door open. “Don’t go too far, Shirley!”

“Surprise, Braden. Congratulations on your being tricked!”

There was no one in the church but a teddy bear in the middle.

The teddy bear was equipped with an intercom system, and now it was laughing at Braden.

“Mr. Stewart, you are so silly and cute. You actually came to me.

“Don’t waste your energy. As long as I don’t want you to find me, you will never find me.

“When I have to show up, I will appear Remember to come and receive me in person!”

The teddy bear let out Shirley’s voice mockingly.

“Shirley!”

Braden had never expected that he, who had always been smart and only schemed against others,

would be fooled by a woman.

He was so angry that his handsome face was distorted. He grabbed the teddy bear and wanted to tear it apart on the spot.

But the teddy bear said, “Don’t try to destroy me. Otherwise, you won’t be able to get out of this

wallet.” island. If you don’t believe me, see if you can find your

Braden reached for his pocket and found that his wallet had disappeared.

He quickly realized that the little girl had probably taken it away.

He definitely wouldn’t be able to catch that girl.

“Damn it! What are you trying to do?”

Braden was about to go crazy

The teddy bear sad unhurriedly, “You finally know that you can’t judge a book by its cover Sometimes, what you see may not be the truth‘

firaden was speechless

His anger was replaced by frustration.

He was so tired right now, and he was penniless. It was difficult for him to drink even if he wanted

to. If he was careless, he might even die in this desolate place.

Looking back at the past twenty years, he found that he had never been so stupid and in such a sorry

state.

Sure enough, Shirley was cunning.

“Now, take this teddy bear and say to the hundred islanders that ‘Shirley is the world’s most kind–hearted and beautiful woman in the world. I was stupid and blamed her wrongly. I am an idiot. Once you complete the mission, you can take back your wallet.”

“Shirley, don’t go too far You…”

“Beep.”

The teddy bear made a beeping sound.

It was obvious that Shirley, who was manipulating all of this in an unknown place, had already cut off the communication system.

Braden gripped the teddy bear tightly with his long fingers and looked furious. He wouldn’t say that.

On Sunflower Island.

Shirley lay on the sofa and was eating iced watermelon. Looking at the real–time picture, she laughed her head off.

In the picture, the cold and domineering Braden was sweating and gasping for breath. Every time he met a person, he said, “Shirley is the world’s most kind–hearted and beautiful woman in the world. I was stupid and blamed her wrongly. I am an idiot.”

Shirley thought, do you think your hackers can locate me? You’re so naive.
