When She Unveils Identities Novel Chapter 226 – He Isn’t Even Qualified to Be Jealous
A week later
Shirley’s leg had recovered well. Today, she was able to remove the cast and get discharged.
Ewan, Nancy, and Cordell came to pick her up.
“Today is a nice day Shirley can finally get out of the hospital. We must celebrate that!”
Overwhelmed with joy, Ewan even prepared a wheelchair for Shirley
“Of course, we have to celebrate. I have already booked a restaurant and also prepared a mysterious surprise for Shirley. I believe she will like it!”
Nancy said mysteriously with a beam.
They drove to the restaurant that Nancy booked in advance.
Seeing the table full of delicious food, Shirley felt hungry and couldn’t wait to eat
“Shirley, eat slowly, or you’ll get stuffed.”
Ewan patiently and meticulously served Shirley. Then, he quietly put her favorite food on her plate, as if he
was taking care of a child.
Ewan cared too much about Shirley and couldn’t endure her injury again. So he had to take care of her even
when she was eating.
Shirley was a little helpless as she said, “Ewan, my leg is just injured, not crippled. Don’t treat me like a
disabled person, alright?”
She had been in the hospital these days and eating too lightly.
It wasn’t easy for her to enjoy herself today. But Ewan even watched her and told her to eat slowly. What a
bad thing!
“I want to eat it quickly, but I want a big bite. I’d rather die full than starve to death!”
Shirley argued with Ewan like a child.
The awkward thing was that she quickly choked and coughed violently as Ewan expected.
“Kaff!”
“Hey, look at you. I told you to eat slowly. Hurry up and drink water!”
Seeing that, Ewan felt sorry for her and quickly handed over a bottle of water as he gently patted Shirley’s
back.
It seemed that he was coaxing a kitten.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Ewan, come on! How about you just treat Shirley as a baby?”
Nancy, who was watching from the side, felt goosebumps all over her body.
In the past, Ewan was a dissolute and unruly playboy who attracted so many women. When he met Shirley, he immediately turned into the most affectionate simp in the world without caring about his dignity.
Cordell couldn’t help but sigh, “I used to think that it was very hard for the girlfriend who was in love with the younger boyfriend because the girl had to be so tolerant and take care of the man. Otherwise, this relationship won’t be smooth. Now it seerns that I am wrong. Mr Parker, you’re a role model for us men. In the future, I have to learn more and strive to spoil Nancy!”
Nancy suddenly blushed, leaned on Cordell’s shoulder, and pouted prettily, “Hmph, you always say blarney!”
Shirley gulped down a bottle of water and finally calmed down. Then she smiled and teased, “How could you joke about us? Don’t say sappy words in front of us, alright? Especially you, Nancy. This is the first time I know that when you are in love, you can be so melodramatic. I’m going to go blind!”
“Shirley, you don’t know that. When women meet their true love, they all will become melodramatic. As for you and my brother, I feel that you two are too respectful to each other. It doesn’t seem like a couple who is going to get married. You should also be like me and act prettily in front of my brother!”
Nancy had always felt that Shirley chose to be with Ewan not because of love, but gratitude.
This relationship, over time, would become a double–edged sword and hurt them.
1.”
Shirley bit her lip, awkward and powerless.
How could she not know that the relationship between her and Ewan was not love?
However, she firmly believed that as long as she worked hard enough, she would fall in love with him.
“Shirley, why don’t you learn from me and act flirty and pouty in front of Ewan? Otherwise, if you guys keep treating each other so respectfully, when will you truly fall in love with each other?”
Nancy painstakingly fixed them up.
Cordell encouraged with a nod, “Ms. Wilson, just act flirty and pouty in front of Mr. Parker. I believe that no
man can resist you when you act like that.”
“That’s right!”
Nancy applauded and encouraged her.
In a quandary, Shirley stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to do.
It was not difficult for her to act coquettishly, because she had done so before. However, facing Ewan, she couldn’t make up her mind to act pouty
Seeing Shirley’s hesitation, Ewan felt a little bit heartbroken, but quickly he calmed down.
“Alright, you two are bold. How dare you joke about us? Do you still want to hold the wedding at the end of
the month?”
He blamed Ewan and Cordell with a long face.
Only then did they stop this topic.
Ewan said to Nancy, “Didn’t you say that you prepared a surprise for Shirley? Why haven’t you taken it out
yet?”
“Don’t worry Just wait for a few more minutes!”
Nancy looked at her watch and then counted, “Ten, nine, eight, seven….
When she counted to one, the restaurant suddenly began to play energetic music and a group of handsome men began to dance on the stage.
“Shirley, these handsome men are from the currently most popular idol group. Young Blood, in South Korea. Many domestic television stations and merchants want to invite them, but they can’t. I know that this is your type, so I used a lot of connections to invite them to perform for you… This is their first show in our country. How is it? Is it very eye–catching?”
Nancy asked Shirley with confidence.
Women understood women the best, not to mention that she was Shirley’s bestie.
Others might not know what Shirley liked, but how could Nancy not know?
In addition to eating well, people should play well.
Since men could enjoy themselves and search for beauty, why couldn’t women do the same thing?
Those men were tall, handsome, and stylish and also danced well, which quickly attracted Shirley. She even stood up and clapped with all her might. “Good. Good dance. These guys are all too handsome.”
“Very handsome, right? Shirley, I know you well, right? They are the top idol group in South Korea. Hike that silver–haired one the most. Look, his lips are so exquisite that I even want to kiss him!”
“Right. I also like this silver–haired one. Sexy and handsome!”
Nancy and Shirley leaned together and discussed excitedly, their eyes shining with excitement.
Ewan darkened his face beside them and tried to calm down. He couldn’t vent his anger there. Otherwise, it
seemed that he was too mean.
Cordell’s face also turned gloomy
He originally planned to mess around with Nancy because of a mission, not love.
However, seeing Nancy staring at another man and drooling, he felt a little jealous!
He had to let Amelie fulfill her promise and end this “game” as soon as possible. Otherwise he would fall in love with Nancy sooner or later!
“Nancy, stop. If you like to watch dancing, I can dance for you. I won’t allow you to look at other men…
Out of control, Cordell turned Nancy’s head to the side.
Ewan also wanted to do this to Shirley, but he was afraid.
He loved Shirley so much that he wasn’t even qualified to be jealous!
It was a video call that broke Shirley’s mood.
“Ms. Wilson, something happened!”
On the other side of the video, May said in a trembling voice, with tears welling up in her eyes.
Chapter 227 She Faints From Anger
Shirley’s heart sank as she became serious “May, what happened? Don’t worry Just tell me slowly.”
“Just now, I felt something was wrong, so I forced my way into Bennett’s laboratory I found that he was not inside I searched the entire island but I couldn’t find him. He is still so young. Will he be captured by bad
people? What should I do, Ms Wilson?”
May said with tears rolling down her cheeks
Shirley asked her to take care of two children. In the end, May was so careless that she didn’t even know it after Bennett was gone. Not to mention Ms. Wilson, she even wanted to die to atone for her sins!
“What did you say?”
After hearing May’s words, Shirley was dumbfounded as her mind went blank.
Bennett and Alisha were her life and the only motivation for her to survive.
Now that Bennett had disappeared out of thin air, no matter how calm and powerful she was, she was just a
helpless mother on the verge of breaking down.
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Ewan took over Shirley’s phone and looked calmly at helpless May and asked, “May, firstly, check the surveillance on the island to see if there is any trace of Bennett, and then
check if there’s a note left by Bennett at home. Ben is smarter than adults and will be fine. We shouldn’t scare
ourselves.”
“Okay okay, I’ll go and see!”
May scrambled to her feet and ran to retrieve the surveillance.
For the sake of safety, Ewan had already installed surveillance cameras on the island and set up an alarm
system. If any bad people approached, these systems would immediately notify them and the bodyguards
stationed around them would also rush over to protect them.
Those bodyguards were carefully selected by Shirley and Ewan, who were experts that could not be dealt
with by ordinary people!
“Wait a minute!”
Shirley finally calmed down. Her face was still a little pale but her eyes showed invincible firmness.
“May, give your phone to Ally She should know where Bennett went ”
She suddenly remembered that Alisha had been acting strangely all this while. Whenever Shirley proposed to
have a video call with Bennett, Alisha would divert her attention and dispel her vigilance through different
excuses
Now it seemed that it was they who had collaborated to trick her and May.
“Ms. Wilson, don’t disturb Alisha at this time. Alisha is so anxious that she is crying. I finally put her to bed I
lied to her that Ben had just temporarily disappeared for a while and that we would find her soon. Then she
stopped
“It’s okay I know Alisha well. She is not as fragile as you think Unless she is guilty, you just let her answer
my video call”
May’s descriptions made Shirley even more certain that Alisha had also been involved in the sudden disappearance of Bennett
“Then I’ll call Alisha”
May took her phone and ran to Alisha’s room.
Cordell sat beside them and had already known about the matter
He asked Nancy in a low voice, “Is Ms. Wilson’s child missing?”
Nancy nodded and reminded him, “Don’t talk. It’s fine as long as you know that. Shirley regards her children
as her life and doesn’t want too many people to know that she has children.”
“I understand.”
Cordell secretly tightened his fingers.
With a bad feeling in his heart, he did not dare to say anything.
“Ally, your mommy is looking for you to have a video chat. Don’t sleep. It’s time to get up!”
May walked into Alisha’s bedroom and called Alisha, who was still lying on the pink bed.
“Let’s have another video call another day. I’m sleepy!”
Alisha curled herself into a ball and covered herself in the quilt.
Alisha knew that Shirley was definitely here to interrogate her, but she had promised her brother not to reveal
she could only choose to be a coward! his whereabouts. She could not afford to offend both sides, so
“Ally, be good Mommy has something very important to ask you. Come out quickly!”
May tried to persuade Alisha, who was still on the bed.
“No, I’m sleepy. I want to sleep. Tell Mommy to call me after a while!”
When Alisha said this, he let out a snoring sound and said softly, “I’m already asleep. I can’t hear anything
you say ”
May looked a little embarrassed and tried to pull away the quilt covering Alisha, but Alisha was wrapped so
tightly that May couldn’t let her get up.
Finally, May panted and said tiredly with sweat on her forehead, “Ms. Wilson what should we do?”
Shirley put on a long face. It was obvious that she had been angered by the willful Alisha.
She took a deep breath, placed her hands on her hips, and shouted, “Alisha Wilson!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Alisha came out of the quilt with a whoosh with a red face, who looked so
cute.
“Mommy, don’t be angry. I will tell you everything!”
Alisha blinked her big watery eyes and completely surrendered.
Every time Shirley called her and her brother’s full name, it meant that she was pissed off. If she was not
obedient, the consequences would be very serious!
Sorry, Ben. To not let Mommy be angry, I can only temporarily betray you… thought Alisha.
Only then did Shirley cool down a little. Then she said softly, “Ally is still the best. Tell me, what is going on?
Where is Bennett now?”
“Mommy, promise me first. If I say it, don’t be mad at Ben and me.”
Alisha was clever and discussed the conditions with Shirley.
“Be at ease. I promise that I won’t be angry.”
Shirley tried her best to put on a fake smile, but in reality, she had already clenched her fists tightly.
Shirley thought, hmph, how come? If you two dare to act recklessly, I’ll punish you.
“It’s like this, Mommy. Ever since you went to Seatle City, Ben was very worried that you would be bullied by bad people, so he tried to make a plan to go to Seatle City to protect you… A few days ago, he succeeded in his research, so he is now in Seatle City.”
Alisha told Shirley the entire matter clearly and logically.
Her brother, Bennett, was a superhero in Alisha’s heart and Bennett’s plan was very scientific and perfect, not a childish game.
Today, if May had not found out that her brother had disappeared and caused the plan to be leaked, Alisha would support Bennett to the end!
“What? Bennett… has come to Seatle City?”
After hearing Alisha’s words, Shirley felt that she was going to faint from rage.
Chapter 228 Break Up
Shirley didn’t expect that Bennett would come to Seatle City without telling her
“Alisha, I’ll take Ben back. Then you two will be grounded. I’m serious!”
Shirley was so angry that she lost her mind She clenched her fists in front of the camera, and her knuckles
cracked
Alisha blinked and looked very innocent. She looked at Shirley with her big, round eyes and said, “Mommy, you promised me that you wouldn’t be angry If you lie, your nose will grow longer. Then you won’t be pretty Bennett did the wrong thing. He should be grounded, not me ”
“You didn’t tell me that Bennett came to Seatle City. And you lied to me. So you’ll be grounded too!”
Shirley got very angry and stared at Alisha. She finally realized that Alisha had been hiding the truth from her
these days
In fact, Alisha and Bennett were really clever. It was never easy to deal with them.
Bennett was highly intelligent, and Alisha had high EQ. Once they worked with each other, they could keep
secrets from Shirley easily.
Besides, Alisha admired Bennett, so she’d listen to Bennett and do anything that he wanted her to do.
“Alisha, you got me really angry this time. Go in that corner and stand now!”
Shirley’s face darkened when she spoke.
Alisha was scared when she saw Shirley’s expression.
Alisha knew she had pushed Shirley’s buttons and walked up to the corner obediently. Then she said, “Mommy, I’m sorry. Don’t be mad at me. I won’t lie to you anymore.”
Even a hard-hearted person would melt when seeing Alisha’s cute expression
Ewan’s heart melted, and he said, “Shirley, Alisha has realized she made a mistake. Just let her off. The most important thing is that we have to find Bennett now.”
Shirley tried to calm herself down and asked Alisha, “Since you know you were wrong, I will give you a chance to make things right. Now tell me, when did you last contact Ben? And where was he at that time?”
Alisha looked up at her and thought for a while. Then she answered, “I made a video call to Ben last night It was the last time I saw him. He said he’d go to Daddy’s company to steal the important files you need And he’d teach the people who offended you a lesson. Ben is very strong. I think he might have made it now But I called him just now. He didn’t answer the phone. .”
“Did Ben go to the Stewart Group?”
Shirley wasn’t that worried about Bennett before Alisha told her this thing. After all, Bennett was talented and very intelligent since he was little. When Bennett was three years old, he took a speedboat and left Sunflower Island alone. He came to Seatle City when he was four. Shirley didn’t think he’d be in danger.
However, Shirley didn’t expect that Bennett would first come to Braden when he arrived at Seatle City Shirley was afraid that Bennett would get in trouble.
“May, please help me take care of Alisha. I have to go find Bennett now!”
Shirley felt a slight sense of foreboding and hung up the phone. She planned to go to the Stewart Group and
find Bennett
“You haven’t recovered I’ll go with you.
Ewan quickly caught up with Shirley.
Now, the Stewart Group didn’t have a leader. If Shirley came there, someone would find that Braden had
passed away.
It was a time of crisis Ewan decided to stay by Shirley’s side and threw his full support and protect her when
she needed help.
Nancy and Cordell stood still and looked at each other.
Cordell was stunned after he saw Shirley make a video call with Alisha.
“Did I hear right? Ms. Wilson’s child came to Seatle City alone and even went to the Stewart Group?”
After Cordell saw Shirley walk away, he immediately began to talk to Nancy.
“Yes.”
Nancy nodded. She was much calmer than Cordell. It seemed that she had been used to it.
“Are you sure her son came to Seatle City alone and is only four years old?”
“More accurately, he’s four years and three months old.”
“But How is that even possible? How could a four-year-old child do this? You look so calm. Aren’t you afraid
that he’ll be in danger?”
“It wouldn’t be normal for other four-year-old children to do this thing. But it’s normal if it is Bennett who did it. It’s not the first time that Bennett leaves home without telling Shirley. He’d be grounded every time Shirley caught him. But Bennet really knows how to escape. He’s an expert. Shirley can do nothing with him.”
Nancy looked proud when she talked about Bennett. She said with great confidence, “Moreover, we don’t have to worry that bad guys will pick on him. Bennett is smart. He knows how to deal with those guys.”
Therefore, Nancy was not worried about Bennett now. She was more worried about the Stewart family and Braden. After all, Braden had been a thorn in Bennett’s side since Bennett was little. He had decided to teach
Braden a lesson.
“Really? The boy is really amazing. Is he Mr. Stewart’s son?”
Cordell was shocked when he heard Nancy’s words. He was also curious about Bennett’s identity.
Nancy had been careless most of the time. But she was instantly alert when she heard Cordell’s question.
She frowned and stared at him. “You seem to care about Shirley. You asked me where her kids were before. Now you want to know who their father is. Why are you so curious about her?”
Cordell got nervous and cleared his throat. Then he said, “So are you jealous? Ms. Wilson is your best friend, so I’m concerned about her things. I’m curious about her because I care about you.”
“I am not jealous. Listen, don’t you get any ideas. If you dare to get something against her, I won’t let you off
the hook!”
Nancy felt that Cordell had a secret identity and was pretty questionable.
Nancy wasn’t afraid that Cordell would cause trouble for herself. But she didn’t want to get Shirley in trouble.
“I’ve been thinking about our relationship these days. Desperate times call for desperate measures. We’d better not meet each other for now. I’m afraid that you’re up to something!”
After that, Nancy took her bag and was about to leave.
Cordell was anxious and grabbed Nancy’s arm. “Babe, are you going to break up with me? You leave me
without giving me a chance to make up for it. That’s unfair to me.”
“More accurately, we’ll just break up for some time. When everything settles down, I’ll think about whether we
get back together or not.”
Nancy took a glance at Cordell coldly and then left the restaurant.
Nancy was still obsessed with Cordell, but she could feel that Cordell got close to her purposefully. She didn’t
want to put Shirley at risk, so she decided to break up with Cordell.
“Don’t go!”
Cordell’s heart was torn when he saw Nancy’s back.
He realized that he had fallen for Nancy.
But Cordell didn’t know what he was supposed to say to Amelie if he met her.
Suddenly, his phone rang. It was Amelie.
He hesitated for a long time before answering the phone.
“What are you doing? Why didn’t you answer the phone?”
Amelie frowned and said impatiently, “Go to Sutor Wharf now. I want you to send a special thing to a person.”
Chapter 229 Surveillance Footage
When Shirley and Ewan came to the headquarters of the Stewart Group, the employees who had been down became excited
The employees who had worked in the Stewart Group for more than four years knew the things between Shirley and Braden They were actually shipping Shirley and Braden
“Oh my, Mrs Stewart is finally back. I’ve been looking forward to this for four years. I know they are true love!”
“Mrs Stewart has become prettier and hotter. She looks so refined. By the way, I think Mr. Stewart is a little
out of her league
“Mr. Stewart has been missing for so long. The Stewart Group is in a mess now. Does Mrs. Stewart want to take over the company now?”
The employees whispered to each other They were overwhelmed by Shirley’s charm and beauty and guessed the purpose of her sudden visit to the Stewart Group.
Shirley kept her expression blank and walked in a hurry. She walked up to the front desk and said, “Lisa, could you please tell Braden that I want to meet him?”
Her voice was steady, and she looked very calm. Although she was gentle, everyone could feel that she was strong and nobody could change her mind. Lisa found that Shirley had become a whole new person. Shirley used to be soft and gentle. But now she was aloof and powerful.
Lisa had known Shirley for a long time. But she was nervous when she met Shirley’s eyes. Lisa swallowed and said carefully, “Mrs. Stewart, welcome back. Mr. Stewart has not come to the company for many days. I’m afraid he can’t see you for now.”
“What? He hasn’t come here for many days?”
Shirley narrowed her eyes and wondered if Lisa was lying.
“Yes, we couldn’t reach Mr. Stewart. We don’t know where he is and what happened to him. We thought you knew his whereabouts when you came here.”
Lisa was not as nervous as before after talking to Shirley. She told Shirley everything she knew
After all, when Shirley was Braden’s wife, she got along with the employees. She often sent them food and gifts Everyone in the Stewart Group liked Shirley.
Shirley thought for a moment and believed Lisa’s words,
Braden and she got injured at the same time. And his injuries were more serious than hers. Shirley thought he chould be in the hospital now. It was normal for him not to be in the Stewart Group.
Shirley raised her head and asked, “Have you seen a little boy come here these days?”
“A little boy?”
Lisa thought for a while and said with excitement, “Yes. I saw a super cute boy before. He’s about five years
old. He was wearing a suit at that time. I was impressed by him. Because he was very cute, I even took pictures of him.”
“Let me see the pictures!”
Shirley was excited when hearing that.
Lisa took out her phone and showed Shirley Bennett’s pictures.
In the photo, a guard was holding Bennett’s hand and took him into the building of the Stewart Group.
“The guard said that the boy was the kid of his relative. No one could look after him, so he had to let the boy stay in the lounge. And he’d take the boy back home after work. But I didn’t know when the guard took the
boy away.”
Lisa told Shirley everything she knew about Bennett.
“My Bennett…”
Shirley stared at Bennet in the photo that she had not seen for a long time, and her eyes suddenly turned red.
Although Shirley knew Bennett would be picked on easily, she was worried that his identity would be exposed after he came to the Stewart Group. Someone might want to take advantage of Bennett if they knew who
Bennett was.
“Don’t worry.”
Ewan gently patted Shirley’s back. Then he said to Lisa seriously, “Ask the guard to come here now.”
Lisa wasn’t afraid of Ewan. She glanced at him and said, “I’m sorry, I work for Mr. Stewart. You can’t boss me
around.”
In fact, all the employees of the Stewart Group didn’t like Ewan. They thought Ewan ruined the relationship between Shirley and Braden. They even wanted to throw Ewan out when they saw him.
Shirley took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She whispered to Lisa, “Please let the guard come
here.”
Lisa immediately nodded. “OK, Mrs. Stewart. I’ll make a call to him.”
Actually, the employees in the Stewart Group would be willing to follow Shirley’s orders. Sometimes, she was
more respected than Braden in the company.
Shirley’s charisma made people believe in her.
After a while, the guard came to the hall nervously.
When he saw Shirley, he immediately knelt and said, “Mrs. Stewart, I don’t know anything. I don’t know who the boy is. I just wanted to help that boy, so I took him to the lounge to have a rest. But I don’t know where he went and who took him away. Please trust me!”
Shirley said in a low voice, “Take it easy. I’m not giving you trouble. I just want to know what the boy has been through. I want to find him as soon as possible.”
“…”
The guard shivered and didn’t dare to look at Shirley He stuttered, “I saw the little boy stand in front of the building alone yesterday, so I asked him where his parents were. He said that his father was an employee of the Stewart Group. He was waiting for his father to get off work. I was worried that he might be in danger, so I took him to the lounge and asked him to wait for his father there. But he disappeared after I left the room Mrs. Stewart, I’m telling the truth Please trust me.
The guard guessed that the boy might be the kid of a big shot, so he was afraid that he would be implicated
if the boy was missing
After all, he took the boy into the company. He just wanted to help the boy, but he didn’t think others would
believe him if the boy was in danger.
“You mean he was in the lounge of the company when you last saw him, right?”
Shirley stared at the guard.
“Yes, I wanted to get him some snacks, but when I went back, he wasn’t in the room. I thought his father took him back home, so I left directly.”
“OK, I see. You can go back to work!”
Shirley knew that the guard was not lying, so she did not make things difficult for him.
She said to Lisa, “Can I check the surveillance footage of the company?”
“Well…”
Lisa hesitated and then answered, “You can watch the surveillance footage of the public area. But you can’t watch the footage of the managers’ offices without Mr. Stewart’s permission. But we can’t reach him now,
“I’ll check the surveillance footage of the public area first.”
Shirley could easily get around the server’s firewalls to get the footage of the managers’ offices.
“No problem, I’ll take you to the IT Department now.”
Then they went to the IT Department on the third floor. According to the surveillance video, they found that Bennett had been here Moreover, Bennett was watchful. He avoided the cameras on the way to Braden’s
office.
But they still saw Bennett take the elevator to the top floor of the building. There was Braden’s office.
“Sorry, Mrs Stewart, we don’t have the authority to check the surveillance footage of Mr. Stewart’s office. We need to get his permission. Maybe you can make a call to Mr. Stewart.”
Lisa then turned to look at Shirley after finishing her words.
“I can help.”
They heard a voice come from behind them. Then a tall and handsome man walked into the room.
Chapter 230 Stay With Me for One Night!
“Antwan?”
Shirley looked coldly at the handsome man, who walked into the IT Department and furrowed her eyebrows immediately, showing a vigilant expression
This guy was not easy to deal with. When Shirley was Braden’s wife, Antwan was the first to be unconvinced. He often made trouble for Shirley in the open and secretly.
As the grandson of Howard’s brother, according to seniority, Antwan was Braden’s cousin. He had always been in charge of the business of the Stewart Group overseas. How could he suddenly return to Seatle City?
“Mr
Mr. Stewart!”
Lisa and the rest of the employees immediately lowered their heads and became cautious, as if they had
seen the King of Hell.
From this, it could be seen that Antwan, who was always the second-in-command, was still authoritative in
the Stewart Group.
“Shirley, my sister-in-law, I haven’t seen you for so many years. You really blew me away
Antwan was in a high-end, custom-made dark suit with his hands in his pockets. His burning gaze wandered around Shirley’s body. He smiled, “As expected, a young woman is more charming and attractive than a girl
Hearing this, Ewan was instantly enraged. He stood in front of Shirley and warned, his handsome face cold. “Mr Stewart, please mind your words. She’s not your sister-in-law. If you call her that again, don’t blame us for sending you a lawyer’s letter.”
Antwan raised his eyebrows and said with a faint smile, “I’m sorry. I forgot Ms. Wilson and Braden had been divorced for four years. But in my heart, she’s forever my sister-in-law. Even if she has nothing to do with Braden, she will always be my nice sister-in-law. I still want to have a good chat with her!”
After Antwan finished speaking, his gaze swept past Ewan without restraint, still burning hot
“How dare you still look at her?”
Ewan couldn’t take it anymore. He didn’t care whether he was decent or not. Ewan clenched his fists and said, “If you can’t control your sight and don’t know what to look at or what not to look at, I don’t mind changing a pair of clean eyes for you!”
In the past, Antwan was not a good person.
Relying on his position in the Stewart family, which was second only to Braden, he was arrogant in Seatle
City
Especially when Shirley married Braden, Antwan objected the most. He said Shirley was not worthy of Braden and was not qualified to be a member of the Stewart family. Antwan gathered hundreds of ruffians to go to their wedding to make a scene, which was extremely humiliating to Shirley.
In the end, Howard flew into a rage. He cut off Antwan’s rights in the Stewart Group and sent him overseas,
giving him a few unimportant businesses. Only then did Antwan stop.
Ewan had been angry with Antwan. He wanted to beat up this shameless man but had never met him. This time, Ewan got a chance!
“It doesn’t matter!”
Seeing that Ewan’s fist was about to smash Antwan’s eyeballs, Shirley said slowly, “Everyone loves beauty Since Mr. Stewart likes to look at me, it is also an affirmation of my beauty. I allow him to look at me openly”
Ewan was displeased “Shirley, why do you tolerate this rascal? Have you forgotten how he humiliated you
back then?”
“All that has passed People will change I believe Mr. Stewart will be our good friend.”
Shirley looked at Antwan with a meaningful expression
“You’re a person of vision!”
Antwan looked at Shirley with surprise.
People would really change. Shirley of the day was totally different from herself, who used to be dull, boring, and conservative! It was interesting!
“I heard you want to check the surveillance video of the president’s area, but unfortunately, you didn’t have Mr. Braden’s authorization. I happened to get all his authorization. Perhaps I can help you with this.
Antwan said unhurriedly, his eyes full of pride.
Shirley was composed. She said, “Then I’ll have to trouble you.”
Even if Antwan didn’t lend a hand, Shirley had many ways to hack into the surveillance system of the
president’s area.
But since Antwan took the initiative, Shirley didn’t have to trouble herself.
Moreover, Braden was cautious and always held the authority of the Stewart Group tightly. He never took
Antwan seriously.
At the time, Braden was so generous to give all his rights to an unreliable person. Shirley wondered if he was thoughtless or if he had other plans.
Considering that the Stewart Group had a key role in the survival of Korita Group, Shirley planned to take this opportunity to inquire from Antwan.
After all, Antwan looked like an idiot. He would probably confess everything if Shirley casually played a trick.
‘I can help you, but I have a small request.
Antwan said slowly with a smile
Shirley’s expression was calm. “Tell me about it.”
“I want you to stay with me for one night.”
The moment these words were spoken, everyone present sucked in a cold breath.
Antwan, Braden’s cousin, wanted his ex-sister-in-law to stay with him for a night. It was disgraceful, and Antwan pissed on Braden.
Ewan was so angry that he grabbed Antwan’s collar and raised his fist. “You brat, I think you are courting death. How can you humiliate Shirley?”
It was not the first time Antwan had been so disrespectful to Shirley.
In the past, when Shirley was Braden’s wife, Antwan had publicly announced many times that he wanted Shirley to spend a night with him.
However, it wasn’t that Antwan wanted to plot against Shirley, but he felt Shirley was just a plaything and wasn’t worthy of Braden. Thus, Antwan could casually toy with and humiliate her.
But this time, it was obvious that Antwan was really interested in Shirley.
“Ewan, stop.”
Shirley stopped Ewan again and said to Antwan, “Are you sure you dare to let me spend a night with you?”
“Haha, your words are interesting. Others can’t have the chance. Why wouldn’t I dare?”
“Chance?”
Shirley curved her lips and said with a forced smile, “Then let’s see if you are worthy of the chance.”
“Tsk, then I’m looking forward to it.”
Antwan felt Shirley was interesting.
He teased Shirley to reminisce about her previous “bashful” appearance, but he never expected that her
reaction would be so bold, making him look at her in a new light.
All the employees present felt there was something wrong with their hearing. How could Braden’s wife, conservative and dignified, completely change? How could she be flirting with someone like Antwan?
Ewan probably understood Shirley’s intention, so he suppressed the anger and let them go.
Shirley was not someone to be trifled with. Since Antwan had come to her himself, he would suffer!
At the time, the first thing they had to do was check the surveillance video and confirm the situation of
Bennett.
With Antwan’s authorization, the surveillance video of the president’s area was successfully obtained.
However, the scene made everyone shocked.
Chapter 231 Braden and Shirley Have a Bad Ending
They saw in the surveillance video, from when Bennett entered the president’s private elevator, the entire video was playing “Tom and Jerry”. It continued to play for more than an hour before it returned to normal
In the normal picture, there was no trace of Bennett at all. Apparently, someone had deliberately replaced this
part
“What happened? Was the monitoring system of the president’s area invaded?”
“The security system of the Stewart Group has always been indestructible. This time, it was broken and humiliated. The opponent must be a capable character. The kid seems in danger!”
“Hell, no! The IT Department has to set up an emergency team instantly and inform the network police to assist in the investigation. The opponent is not easy to deal with!”
The employees of the IT Department stared at “Tom and Jerry” on the screen with panicked expressions and
were in a highly prepared state.
However, Shirley wasn’t worried. Instead, she covered her forehead with her palm, speechless.
“Tom and Jerry” was played by Bennett, and it was obvious that he did not want to be tracked by Shirley.
Bennett, you little brat, you are getting bolder. Not only did you come to Seatle City, you even played a counter-tracking. You really get carried away… Just you wait. When I find you, I will beat up your little butt!
Shirley clenched her fists in anger, silently making this plan in her heart.
Ewan also knew it was Bennett’s style. He sighed resignedly and asked Shirley, “Shirley, what should we do
now? Should we call the police?”
“We can’t call the police.”
Shirley said solemnly, “The fewer people who know about these things, the better.”
If the police were to intervene, Bennett’s identity would be exposed, and there would be a lot of trouble.
Shirley was not ready to put Bennett and Alisha in public.
Ewan nodded. “Your consideration is not unreasonable. Now I will send more people to find Bennett. I believe
we will find him soon.”
The Parker family was influential in Seatle City, especially in the underworld. It was not difficult to find a
child.
However, Shirley had a negative expression as she sighed helplessly. “Now, it seems Bennett deliberately did not want us to find him. You know I have pitted him against wit for so many years, but I have never won Unless he has enjoyed himself and shows up himself… I think it is hard!”
“That’s true!”
Ewan recalled the ‘glorious deed’ that Bennett and Alisha had created in the past few years and revealed an
expression of not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
If Shirley was a genius, then her two kids were super genius.
For so many years, only Shirley had been able to trick others, but no one had been able to trick her, except for her two kids.
So this time, if Bennett really didn’t want Shirley to find him, they would probably find nothing. Even if they searched the entire Seatle City…
At the same time, Antwan stood at the side, his eyes sharp as he observed Shirley and Ewan.
Although Antwan couldn’t hear what they were talking about, he could tell their relationship was exactly the same as the rumors. They were very intimate.
Antwan smiled coldly and said to Shirley, “Ms. Wilson, you have seen the surveillance video. Shouldn’t you fulfill your promise?”
Shirley looked at Antwan with her clear eyes, neither humble nor arrogant. “Of course. I’ve always kept my word. I just don’t know what you need me to do.”
When Antwan heard this, it was like a game he had been waiting for was finally pressed the start button. His overly handsome face revealed an excited expression. “You don’t have to worry. I am not a pervert. I will not force you to do those indescribable things with me. You only need to follow me to a place and stay for a
while.”
“If you are not a pervert, there will be no pervert in this world!”
Ewan could not bear it any longer. He grabbed Antwan by the collar and pressed him against the wall, his eyes cold. “You, Antwan, have never been a good guy. Do you think I can’t tell you’ve been coveting her for a long time? I warn you that if you dare to touch even half a hair of her, I will kill you!”
“Warning isn’t enough. If you are really such a tough guy, kill me now.”
Antwan allowed Ewan to press him. He smiled coldly and mocked, “Unfortunately, without her permission, not to mention taking my life, you don’t even dare to touch a hair of mine. The rumors are that your relationship is extraordinary. In my opinion, you are just her dog. What are you proud of?”
‘Shut up!”
Ewan was enraged. He instantly grabbed Antwan’s neck with his slender fingers and exerted more strength.
The employees were stunned when they saw this. The security guards quickly stepped forward to dissuade
Ewan.
However, Ewan was “Seatle Slyboots”. Who dared to offend him?
In the end, Shirley stopped this rather embarrassing scene.
With a serious expression, Shirley said to Ewan, “Ewan, I said I know what to do. Your emotions have been too unstable recently. I don’t want to see such a situation again.”
This time, Ewan was indeed angry. He could no longer be as amiable and obedient as before. Instead, he asked unpleasantly, his handsome face cold, “In other words, do you really intend to spend the night with
him?”
“I’ve always kept my word, and I won’t go back on my promise to Mr. Stewart. I believe he won’t have any bad
intentions.”
Shirley felt Antwan was useful, so she didn’t want to miss this rare opportunity.
Shirley also believed Ewan and she had been together for so many years, so there must be some tacit understanding between them. He should understand and support her.
“Then have you considered my feelings?”
Ewan’s long and narrow eyes were slightly red because of sadness, but it made his handsome face even more charming. Ewan had a lump in his throat and said with emphasis. Then, he asked again, “Have you considered how I feel as your prospective husband?”
When this was said, the surroundings were in an uproar.
All the employees present widened their eyes, unwilling to believe what they had heard.
It turned out that Shirley’s gorgeous return wasn’t to reconcile with Braden but to marry Ewan!
My goodness! Braden and Shirley had a bad ending!
Antwan frowned slightly and looked at them with a complicated and meaningful expression.
Shirley was a little embarrassed and said harshly, “You’re throwing a childish tantrum again. Don’t you know what kind of person I am? Don’t you understand why I agree? We’ve been together for many years, but don’t we have a tacit understanding?”
“I understand, but I don’t accept it!”
In this world, no man would accept the woman he loved spending a night with another man, even if nothing happened that night…
Ewan didn’t want to be wronged anymore, and his eyes were cold. “Choose, If you go with him tonight, we won’t marry.”
Chapter 232 She Can Hit on Any Guy
With her hand on her forehead, Shirley felt a little tired. She said helplessly, “I think you shouldn’t ask this question.”
In Shirley’s opinion, Ewan was the one who understood her the most and also the one who had the most tacit understanding with her. Why would he make things difficult for her at such a critical moment?
Ewan’s soulful eyes, which fascinated thousands of girls, gradually turned from bright with expectations to
dim because of discouragement.
Ewan’s voice was choked with emotion as he mocked himself, “Alright. Shirley, you don’t have to answer. I
already know your answer.”
“Ewan, don’t be like this. You know what I’m thinking. You are…”
“So be it!”
Ewan endured the reluctance in his heart and tried to squeeze out a calm smile. He gazed at Shirley with
deep affection. “From this moment on, I will withdraw from the identity as your future husband, and we will just be friends. I will go through fire and water for you, but I am no longer your shackles. You can be free and
follow your heart to choose the man you really want to choose.”
These words made Ewan ache, like cutting his flesh and bones.
But there was nothing else Ewan could do.
Forced love did not last. Although Ewan and Shirley had tried very hard to be together, the result was that
they were both unhappy.
At this time, letting go was the only thing Ewan could do for her!
“Ewan, what do you mean by this? Do you want to break up with me and give up on me?”
Shirley was also anxious. She grabbed Ewan’s arm with her slender fingers and could not care about anything
else. She said hurriedly, “I was too impatient. I didn’t care about your feelings when I spoke and did things. I
realized I was wrong… I won’t choose anything but you. Don’t be angry, and don’t give up on me. Please!”
Shirley’s words sounded humble but came from the bottom of her heart.
To Shirley, Ewan was a ray of light that shone into her dark life, always bright and pure, supporting her all the
way until this time.
If he also left, Shirley really didn’t know how to go on the dark path…
Ewan’s eyes were red. He shook his head and pried her fingers apart one by one. “Shirley, I understand you. Without me, you will fly higher and go further. I don’t want to be your burden and a shackle that binds your footsteps. If you chose me against your heart tonight, you would regret it later. You will blame yourself for being too emotional and irrational. So… I am willing to be this bad person.”
After Ewan finished speaking, he turned around and left. His handsome back was resolute, but the tear at the
end of his eyes was sorry.
Shirley looked at Ewan’s back and did not chase after him. She was lost in thought.
However, the surrounding employees were all moved by Ewan’s affectionate confession. Some even cried.
Tsk, it was so rare and touching for an impeccable man with status to love a woman so humbly these years that they wanted to be the shippers of Shirley and Ewan!
“You seem to be reluctant. Why don’t you chase after him?”
Antwan’s expression was playful as he asked Shirley in a teasing tone.
“Do you want me to chase after him?”
Shirley put away her fluctuating emotions and put on an impeccable expression as she looked at Antwan with a forced smile.
“Of course not.”
The corners of Antwan’s mouth curled into a smile as he reached out to Shirley gently. “Since you’re free now, I can’t let go of the chance to spend the night with you. Why don’t we set off now? I can’t wait to let you go to
that special place.”
Shirley nodded calmly. “Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go!”
Then, Shirley and Antwan left intimately in front of all the employees of the Stewart Group.
The employees were like deflated balls, showing disappointed expressions.
“I didn’t expect Mrs. Stewart to change so much after four years. I feel that she is no longer the gentle, dignified, innocent, and kind Mrs. Stewart. She has become a woman without moral integrity and can hit on
any guy!”
“In that case, I’m afraid ‘Summery Memories’ is going to be dirty. I don’t like women who enjoy flirting with men. How can she be worthy of Mr. Stewart? He has been keeping his integrity for her all these years. Finally, she didn’t even let a playboy like Antwan go. Mr. Stewart is too pitiful…”
“Not only is Mr. Stewart pitiful, but I think Mr. Parker is also pitiful. He is innocent!”
The employees no longer liked Shirley, and one employee gossiped, “Hey, have you heard? Mr. Stewart didn’t come because he was seriously injured, and it was for Mrs. Stewart.”
“Not just seriously injured. According to reliable information, Mr. Stewart is likely to fail to survive…”
“Ah, will Antwan replace him? It is too terrifying. Although Mr. Stewart is frightening, at least he is charming. Antwan is a villain. If he becomes the leader of the Stewart Group, I will quit immediately!”
Everyone was in a heated discussion when a stern voice came.
“Are you all very free?”
The person who spoke was Liam, Braden’s assistant, who had not appeared in the Stewart Group for a long
time like Braden.
“Mr. Mr. Steele!”
Everyone immediately fell silent.
Liam was Braden’s confidant and had a high position in the Stewart Group. Sometimes, seeing Liam was equal to seeing Braden.
“What were you talking about just now?”
Liam frowned and asked coldly.
He hadn’t returned to the Stewart Group for a period and felt everything in a muddle.
“Mr. Steele, we were talking about…”
A bold employee told Liam everything that had just happened.
“Mr. Steele, if Mr. Stewart is fine, you should let him come back early to preside over the overall situation. The Stewart Group is now under the control of Mr. Antwan Stewart. He has touched many things he should not touch, and it is obvious that he wants to seize power. Even … even he dares to touch his sister-in-law, Mr. Stewart’s wife, Ms. Wilson!”
This employee was crazy about Summery Memories. He complained to Liam indignantly.
“He even dared to touch his sister-in-law. I’m afraid he’s risking his neck!”
Liam was also furious and clenched his fists tightly.
“Mr. … Mr. Steele, may I know what happened to Mr. Stewart? He hasn’t been to the Stewart Group for so long, and the rumors have gone crazy. It will affect the Stewart Group’s reputation!”
An employee mustered up his courage and asked Liam.
“Don’t ask too much. How can you ask about Mr. Stewart’s matter?”
Liam thought for a while and asked, “Do you know where Mrs. Stewart and Antwan went?”
Chapter 233 Sea Whisper
Under the dark sky, the silver Bugatti Veyron was galloping like a ghost.
Shirley sat in the front passenger seat and looked ahead indifferently. Even though she knew very well that Antwan, sitting in the driver’s seat, was not a good guy and that night was bound to be full of traps, she was still composed.
Shirley might not be confident in dealing with others, but she was the most experienced in dealing with a fool
like Antwan.
Lively rock songs were played inside the car.
Antwan was so happy that it was visible to the naked eye. There was a smile on the corners of his eyes. His hand was holding the steering wheel while the other hand was tapping on the window. Antwan’s slender fingers were well-defined. Under the street lamps’ dim yellow light, he looked dazzling.
“If you haven’t slept yet… if I keep chasing… if being awake is a sin, take away the oath and change the promise to never return…”
Antwan swayed his body and hummed happily. His side face, which was a bit like Braden, had a delicate silhouette, impeccably handsome. He had a good vibe.
For a second or two, Shirley thought the idiot Antwan had been possessed by some handsome guy. Why did
he look somewhat charming?
“I didn’t expect you to sing so well. The tune of this band’s songs sounds flat, but it’s difficult to sing. If one is not skillful in singing, the songs will be not pleasing to the ear. I feel you sang better than the original…”
Shirley praised sincerely.
Although she did not have a good impression of this fool, his singing had amazed her.
“Really?”
Antwan’s lips curved into a deep smile. He glanced at Shirley beside him and said, “You weren’t the first to discover that I was good at singing, but I feel I still can’t be compared with you.”
“Mr. Stewart, could it be that you’ve heard me sing?”
“Not only have heard, but I can also be considered your loyal fan…”
When Antwan said this, he frowned as if he had fallen into a long memory. Then, he slowly said, “Sea Whisper from back then is much more awesome than the current popular bands and once fascinated many rock and roll fans. It’s a pity that… they were disbanded!”
Surprise appeared on Shirley’s face. She pinched her chin and said, “You know Sea Whisper. You are… not
that simple!”
Shirley had always thought Antwan was an airhead and relied on the support of the Stewart family to
wantonly run amok in Seatle City. She didn’t expect that his taste was okay, and he was a man of some
culture!
“People playing rock music all like Sea Whisper. After all, the lead singer of this band is good at singing and producing. Also, she has a gifted voice Listening to her sing a song is a cleansing of the heart. No one can
resist it.”
When Antwan talked about the emotional part, he closed his eyes and seemed to be recalling something.
does our memory still exist…” Then, he began to sing. “That sea. the sea in your dream
Shirley’s cold face was slightly moved, and some memories were awakened. She couldn’t help but sing, “You are the child I have lost for a long time. The sea that you and I ran in the dream lit up my heart. Are you still
there?”
“Yes, yes, yes, this is the feeling. I like your voice too much. “The Sea in the Dream” of Sea Whisper is rock
fans’ favorite song!”
Antwan’s eyes were shining as he looked at Shirley. He was like a crazy fan who wanted to wave the
fluorescent stick on the spot.
“Kaff kaff!”
Shirley realized she was too excited. She stopped singing, combed her drooping hair, and said resignedly, “That’s all a thing of the past! Sea Whisper no longer exists. You’d better be a fan of another band!”
“Since you are here, Sea Whisper exists. You are the lead singer and the soul of the band!”
Antwan was no longer in the mood to drive. He turned to look at Shirley, his expression full of devotion.
Shirley never expected that her brother-in-law, Antwan, who had always disliked, humiliated, and ridiculed her
whenever he had the chance, was… her fanatical fan.
It was unbelievable!
“From what you’re saying, you already knew me before I married your cousin and was even my fan? Is that
so?”
Shirley felt it was too inconceivable and could not help but confirm it with Antwan.
The band “Sea Whisper” was established with her laboratory partners by chance when she was bored during
her university days.
Shirley and her partners were not the kinds of scientific freaks who only stayed in the laboratory. They were all versatile, especially Shirley.
She could write lyrics and compose. Also, she had a gifted voice.
At first, Sea Whisper recorded singles and published them online. The band had a large number of fans. Then, Sea Whisper performed in some underground bars. The show had a full house for every performance, and the band gained countless fans.
Tsk. Now that Shirley thought about it, she felt it was relaxing not to get married. The feeling of being cheered and embraced by flowers and applause was fantastic.
Later, because the Wilson family had an accident, Shirley married Braden, and Sea Whisper disbanded. The
band’s members were big shots in the scientific field at the time
The glorious time that belonged to them was forever engraved in the flood of history Shirley never expected Antwan would dig it out
“Of course, I knew you, and you were like a saintess in my heart, who was as holy and unattainable as the lotus Even when I dreamed of you, I felt I had defiled you and had to repent!”
“Puffi
When Shirley heard Antwan say this, she couldn’t help but laugh. “Mr. Stewart, even if you’re joking, you have to be realistic. You’re not suitable to pretend to be a pure man. Don’t you know it’s absurd?”
“Don’t you believe me?”
Antwan had a solemn expression as he said to Shirley, “Just you wait. I’ll prove it to you.
After saying that, Antwan tapped on the car’s screen and clicked on the Favorite. Every song and every performance of the Sea Whisper were stored in it.
The most outrageous thing was that Antwan took a lot of close-ups of Shirley’s performance. Only loyal fans could catch those angles and light.
“It is… too exaggerated!”
As Shirley flipped through the videos and photos of the performances, her memories were forcefully pulled
back to many years ago.
At that time, there was no Braden, and her parents were still alive. The Wilson family was at its peak, and Shirley was a genius in the academic world. She could do what she wanted to do as she pleased. Everything
was so perfect.
Unlike this time, after experiencing a tiring marriage and loving the wrong man, even though the wound had healed over time, the scars still existed, and the feeling of pain and despair still existed!
“Mr. Stewart, I don’t quite understand. Since you knew me before and were my fanatical fan, why did you target me all the time and humiliate me at every opportunity, making me embarrassed? Do you have a split
personality?”
Shirley looked at Antwan and asked curiously.
In this short period, she had a completely new understanding of Antwan.
He seemed not a black sheep as Shirley thought. Perhaps… Antwan was not that easy to deal with!
“Curious?”
Antwan raised his eyebrows but did not answer. Instead, he kept them in suspense and said mysteriously, “When we reach our destination, I will tell you everything!”
Chapter 234 What a Crazy Man!
Therefore, Shirley could only hold back her curiosity and sit in the front passenger seat.
The luxurious sports car gradually drove into the deserted suburbs of the bustling city. The surroundings were getting darker with no street lights, and the atmosphere was getting weirder. It was a hotbed that bred
evil.
However, Shirley was not afraid at all. With her skills, she could deal with ten men like Antwan even if her leg injury had just recovered.
“Where do you want to take me to?”
Shirley became impatient, and her face darkened.
“Don’t hurry. We’ll arrive soon.”
As Antwan spoke, he turned the car into a dark path. Lush cypress trees were on the two sides of the road,
standing like pennants.
Shirley opened the window and looked around, feeling that this place was a little familiar.
Then, she suddenly remembered. Damn. Isn’t this the forest cemetery Braden and I had fallen into before?
This forest cemetery was said to be a brilliant graveyard. If dead people were buried here, it would make their future generations prosperous endlessly. However, living people would encounter bad things after staying here for a long time, and their luck would be damaged. It was strange.
Why did Antwan bring Shirley to such a gloomy place in the middle of the night? She had just removed the
cast and didn’t want to fall again!
“Turn around!”
With a strong attitude, Shirley ordered Antwan, “I don’t like this place. I want you to turn around and leave
immediately.”
Antwan refused to do so. A sneer showed on his handsome face. “I’m controlling the steering wheel. What if I
don’t turn around?”
“Then don’t blame me for being impolite!”
Shirley’s beautiful eyes turned cold, and a cold silver light flashed in the car. A knife firmly stuck to Antwan’s
neck. “Anyway, this place is desolate and remote. There are more ghosts than people. If you push me too far, I will cut your throat and bury you on the spot!”
Antwan was also a ruthless character. Not only did he not admit defeat, but he also showed an excited expression. He stared at Shirley with bright eyes. “Then cut it open. It’s my honor to give a beauty my life.”
“Do you think I don’t dare?”
“Of course you dare… If you don’t dare, I will help you!”
After Antwan finished speaking, his palm suddenly covered Shirley’s hand holding the knife. With a slight force, the skin broke on his neck, and blood seeped out
Shirley quickly pulled back and roared angrily, “Antwan, are you crazy? If you want to commit suicide, don’t
are!” involve me What a crazy man you
Her knife was made in Switzerland The blade was sharp and could cut iron like mud. It was only eight. inches, but it was destructive. It was the first weapon Jason had given Shirley.
All these years, Shirley had always carried it with her for self-defense. Under normal circumstances, she
would not use it.
It was because there was a rumor that once the knife was exposed to light, it had to be wetted with blood.
Otherwise, it would be blunt.
Antwan was crazy, but he had completed this for Shirley’s knife. The blood was not in vain.
“It’s getting late. If you want to tease me, you have achieved your goal. Forgive me for not being interested in
performing with you again.”
Shirley put away her knife and tried to open the door to get out of the car, but she found Antwan had locked
the car.
“We haven’t arrived yet. Why are you in such a hurry to get out of the car? We’ve run for dozens of miles. If you
get off, our time and efforts will be wasted.”
Antwan sneered and calmly started the car.
His neck was still bleeding, but Antwan seemed not to sense it. He even didn’t bother to deal with it.
“Are you sure you don’t wipe off the blood on your neck?”
Shirley stared at Antwan and suggested with a face full of disgust.
Imagine, at midnight, a man with a sinister smile drove through a remote and evil forest cemetery, blood constantly spurting from his neck and dyeing his shirt red… This scene was too strange!
Antwan’s smile deepened, his eyes flashing as he stared at Shirley. “Are you concerned about me?”
Shirley was speechless.
“If I can gain your concern because of bleeding, I don’t mind cutting my neck to win your smile.”
“Then go to hell!”
Shirley rolled her eyes and threw him a handkerchief.
Antwan took the handkerchief and placed it in front of his tall nose. He took a deep breath and reluctantly covered his bleeding neck. He tied a knot and sighed, “Such a good handkerchief. What a pity!”
“Mad. You’re really mad!”
Shirley rubbed her temples, feeling endless regret.
Shirley thought Antwan was just a fool whom she could casually get confidential information about the Stewart Group from, but she didn’t expect that he was insane. It wasn’t so easy to play tricks on him.
If they continued to drag on like this, it would delay Shirley’s plan and cause a rift between Ewan and her.
It was a mistake!
At this moment, Antwan was so crazy. Shirley could only let him drive to the destination and think of other
ways to get away.
The car turned several times and came to a wide platform.
“Here we are.”
Antwan stopped the car and said to Shirley with a mysterious face, “Trust me. You won’t regret this trip.”
“Well, I hope so!”
Shirley said perfunctorily but had another plan in mind.
Seeing Antwan get out of the car, Shirley also got off. When Antwan walked toward her, she kicked the man
in the stomach and grabbed the key from his hand.
“It’s time for me to sleep. I don’t want to waste my time on you. If you like it here, you can stay here. I have to
go back.”
After that, she opened the car door and sat in the driver’s seat. She was ready to start the car.
Antwan felt his internal organs had been smashed by that kick. Even blood was flowing from the corner of
his mouth.
However, his handsome face was even more excited. He smiled coldly, licked the blood at the corner of his mouth, and stared at Shirley. “Are you sure you leave now and even my proud and perfect cousin can’t keep you?”
Shirley was dumbfounded. She stepped on the brake and did not let go. She asked Antwan, “What do you
mean? Make it clear!”
“Don’t tell me you haven’t heard the rumors?”
On the ground, Antwan propped up his upper body. His perfectly contoured face revealed a strange smile. “Many people are guessing where Braden, who hasn’t appeared in public for half a month, has gone and why I, the second-in-command, was suddenly summoned back to preside over the situation. Are you really not curious at all?”
“He… he is seriously injured. He should be recovering now, so it is inconvenient to tell the outside world.”
Shirley’s eyes flashed. Thinking of this special place, she vaguely had a bad guess in her heart, but she refused to believe it.
“Are you sure he’s just recovering?”
“Could it be… could it be that he has something else to do?”
Shirley’s expression was gloomy.
She kept hinting to herself that Braden was a lucky person. No accidents would happen to him.
Antwan sneered “What are you afraid of? Don’t worry, and make a bold guess. I believe… you have guessed it. Am I right?”
Chapter 235 Unfollow and Diss
Shirley shook her head and said coldly, “I didn’t guess, and I don’t want to guess. I’m not in the mood to listen to your nonsense. You’d better make way yourself. Otherwise, don’t blame me for crushing you!”
Antwan’s slender body fell lazily in front of the car, ignoring Shirley’s warning. He smiled evilly, “I thought you had become a lot stronger in the past few years. I didn’t expect you still to be a coward. You don’t even have the courage to face the truth. Don’t you feel sad to deceive yourself?”
“I don’t understand what you’re saying!”
Shirley said coldly, “I’ll say it one last time. Get out of the way!”
With her foot on the accelerator, Shirley only needed to step on it to make Antwan crushed into ground meat
in minutes.
“Hehe, do you think crushing me can change the fact that my unfortunate cousin has kicked the bucket?”
Antwan slowly stood up from the ground, supported the hood with both arms, and looked at Shirley in the driver’s seat with a cold smile. He continued, “Aren’t you curious about why I would bring you here? Look at this cemetery. The location is excellent. I heard the Stewart family carefully selected this place for Braden. When the time for burial arrives, my proud and arrogant cousin will be trapped here forever…”
“No, it’s impossible. You must be lying to me!”
Shirley’s mind went blank.
She couldn’t hear what Antwan was saying and had no time to listen. All she could hear was, “My unfortunate
cousin has kicked the bucket!”
No, how could this be? How could Braden die? He was even more awesome than a cat. A cat had nine lives,
while Braden had ten lives. She didn’t believe Braden would be dead!
“You know very well whether or not I lied to you. If you don’t believe me, you can come and take a look at this cemetery. Braden’s inscription has been set up in advance. Ironically… you are engraved in his wife’s column.
It’s so funny!”
Antwan put his hands in his pockets and looked at the imposing tombstone in front of him. His eyes were full
of ridicule.
“Sometimes, I think it’s really boring to be a human being. No matter how powerful and awesome he is, he is
a mortal, He will die. Once he dies, he is no different from an insect. In the end, he is just a mound of earth. If
I want to step on it, I will step on it!”
After Antwan finished speaking, he raised his slender legs and stepped on Braden’s black-and-white photo on
the tombstone. He said with a sick smile, “Braden, aren’t you awesome? Haven’t you always been top in your life? Why don’t you get up and resist?
Do you know I lived in your shadow from the moment I was born? Other people were praised for their high
marks, but I was beaten up. It was because you got full marks!
I worked assiduously to make the performance of the Stewart Group’s branch into the top three in the
industry. However, because of your words, I was transferred abroad to do the most peripheral project!
People call me a fool, a playboy, a soum of the rich and powerful, but they don’t know how hard it is for me to
stand out with you suppressing me.
Fortunately, you died for a woman, giving me a chance to come back. From now on, I will take back
everything I lost, including my dream girl!”
Antwan said happily, and the smile on his handsome face became colder and twisted.
His feet stepped hard on Braden’s photo to vent the jealousy and forbearance he had hidden in his heart for
so many years!
“Take your feet away!”
At some point in time, Shirley had gotten out of the car. Her delicate face was frozen, and she said coldly,
“Bullying a dead person isn’t worthy of being a gentleman.”
“Do you feel sorry for him?”
Antwan withdrew his leg and turned to look at Shirley. With a sneer, he said with a clear conscience, “I am not a gentleman but a notorious scum. It’s not the first time you have known this… I can’t deal with the living Braden. As for the dead Braden, I can humiliate him as I want!”
The rims of Shirley’s eyes reddened. She gritted her teeth and said, “You are a madman. Even if Braden dies, he will always be more awesome than you!”
A hint of viciousness flashed through Antwan’s eyes as he approached Shirley step by step. “Is that so? But what can he do now? His face is imprinted with my footprints. Even if I fuck his woman in front of him, he can only watch. Do you think he’s awesome?”
“Shameless!”
Shirley raised her hand and gave Antwan a hard slap. “Wanna get close to me, you scum? You overestimate yourself!”
After Shirley finished speaking, she felt it was not enough to vent her anger. She raised her slender leg and kicked at Antwan’s stomach.
“Ouch!”
Antwan was in the shape of a shrimp as he knelt in front of the tombstone.
Shirley stood condescendingly and stepped on Antwan’s back. She snorted, “This is the attitude you should have toward your cousin. If you fail to learn it, I don’t mind teaching you again.”
Hahaha, great! I feel so good! Continue to treat me like this! Don’t stop! I like you to be like this!”
Antwan was about to be beaten to death by Shirley, but his emotions were abnormally high. His eyes were even flashing with excitement.
“You asked me before why I used to worship you so much and be obsessed with you, but after you married Braden, I embarrassed and humiliated you everywhere. Let me tell you now. It’s because you’ve disappointed
me!”
Antwan closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, “You are so outstanding, dazzling, spiritual, sacred, and inviolable, but you married the man I hate the most, and also the man I despise the most!”
“Braden is a machine without feelings, but for this trash, you disbanded Sea Whisper and became a humble
wife in a rich family. You carefully curried favor with everyone in the Stewart family and guarded a man who
didn’t love you at all, consuming your supposed amazing life. This feeling is like the moonlight in my hands
falling into a stinking manure pit. No wonder I would make things difficult for you and humiliate you.”
Antwan’s words shocked Shirley greatly. “You… you are an unreasonable pervert!”
Shirley had never known that a man who had never interacted with her would treat her so seriously… It would be called unfollow and diss in the fan community.
In short, Antwan was a madman!
“Judging from your reaction, I’m afraid you haven’t let go of Braden. Unfortunately, he is already dead. You have to let him go sooner or later. Why don’t you consider me? It won’t be long before the entire Stewart Group is mine. I can give you everything you want!”
Although Antwan was being stepped on by Shirley, his aura was still strong when he said these words.
Shirley was disdainful. “I will fight for what I want. I don’t need anyone to give me anything. I also don’t believe Braden will die. You only please yourself!”
“If you don’t believe me, you can ask Ewan for confirmation. If… he is still willing to talk to you.”
Antwan smiled arrogantly.
In one night, he had solved two love rivals. It was even more exciting than him taking over the Stewart Group!
Chapter 236 I Am Tired
Shirley didn’t want to waste time on Antwan. She turned around, got into the car, and drove away from the cemetery.
From beginning to end, Shirley didn’t even glance at the so-called Braden’s tombstone.
It was because she didn’t believe that Braden was dead.
In the darkness of night, Shirley returned to Nancy’s apartment in the city center as fast as she could.
She had been through too much today and was exhausted. She was very sleepy and didn’t want to do
anything but have a good sleep.
When Shirley opened the door, she saw Nancy as well as Ewan.
Because Shirley quarreled with Ewan earlier in the Stewart Group, the atmosphere was a bit awkward when
they looked at each other.
“Shirley, you are finally back. If you hadn’t come back, Ewan would have called the police.”
Nancy heaved a long sigh of relief. She intimately held Shirley’s arm and asked, “Are you hungry? If you are, I’ll
go make some supper for you.”
Shirley shook her head, and the look in her eyes was a little tired. “I’m not hungry. I’m just a little sleepy. I
want to sleep.”
After she finished speaking, she walked past Ewan and headed toward her room.
“Have a sleep?”
Nancy looked at Shirley’s back and felt that something was wrong.
She thought, could it be that there is news from Ben?
Otherwise, Shirley wouldn’t be in the mood to sleep at this time, and she will certainly do everything possible to find Ben!
“Shirley, have you been bullied by Antwan? I feel something is wrong with you.”
Nancy asked worriedly.
She knew that Shirley and Ewan had broken up, and she also knew that it was because of Antwan. She thought, it is a little unfair to Ewan.
After all, Ewan has paid a lot for his relationship with Shirley over the years.
If Ewan is defeated by Braden, that will be acceptable. But if Shirley gives up on him and is with a bastard like Antwan, not to mention him, even an outsider like me will not be able to stand it.
Nancy originally planned to criticize Shirley moderately to clear Shirley’s head, but when she saw Shirley like this, she was softhearted and couldn’t say anything harsh!
“If he bullies you, just tell us. Ewan and I will not let him go!”
Nancy held onto Shirley’s shoulder, and a look of indignation showed on her face.
Shirley looked up and revealed a slightly bitter smile. “Do you think he is capable of bullying me?”
“Oh, I overlooked it. You’re good at fighting. A scum like Antwan is no match for you!”
However, after Nancy finished speaking, her expression became even more confused. She continued to ask, “Then what happened to you? Is there any bad news from Ben?”
“It has nothing to do with Ben. I am just tired. I want to forget everything temporarily and have a good sleep.”
Shirley’s voice became weaker and weaker. She even felt tired while breathing, as if she was carrying a heavy mountain. She was not as spirited and energetic as before.
“Don’t worry. I’m fine. I just need to sleep.”
Shirley forced a smile at Nancy. She then unscrewed the door handle of the bedroom and walked in lightly like a ghost.
“She can’t be fine!”
Nancy was very anxious. She said to Ewan, who kept silent all the time, “Ewan, do something about it. Shirley must have suffered a blow. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be as upset as she is now. Although you have broken up,
you can’t be so indifferent to her. You stayed here all night just to wait for her to come back and have a good talk with her, didn’t you? Why did you not say anything?”
Nancy had a short temper. She directly pushed Ewan into Shirley’s room. Then she closed the door with a bang and locked it from the outside.
Ewan instantly got anxious and wanted to open the door, but he could not pull it at all. He shouted angrily,
“Nancy, what the hell are you doing? Open the door!”
“Anyway, you must make Shirley happy tonight, or you won’t get out.”
After Nancy finished speaking, she was worried that the door would be kicked open by Ewan and pinned a steel bar to the door as a latch.
She thought, I have no choice but to do so. Ewan is too gentle. As his sister, I must help him, or his wait tonight would have been in vain!
As a result, Shirley and Ewan looked at each other in Shirley’s bedroom.
“I’m very sorry. You know that Nancy has always been impulsive.”
Ewan put his hands in his pockets and deliberately pretended to be very casual. He looked as if he hadn’t quarreled with Shirley in the Stewart Group.
Shirley smiled, and her smile was a little tired and helpless. “I’m the one who should say sorry. Antwan is a lunatic.
I thought I could get some useful information from him, but I found that he was full of nonsense. He wasted my time, and he affected the relationship between you and me. I am indeed an idiot!”
Shirley sat in front of the dressing table and lowered her head powerlessly. She buried her beautiful, delicate face deep into her palms as if she were an ostrich unwilling to face the world. Immediately after that, her shoulders began to tremble slightly.
When Ewan saw this, he frowned tightly and felt sad for Shirley. He said softly. “It looks like you have heard that news. If you want to cry, just cry out loud. No need to pretend you don’t care about it. There’s no shame in it.”
From the moment Antwan appeared, Ewan knew that the news of Braden’s death could not be hidden no matter what.
The reason why he had such a strong reaction in the Stewart Group today was that he was afraid that Shirley
would not be able to withstand it if she knew the news.
But unfortunately, he didn’t succeed in stopping this…
“Haw-haw, is there anything I should know? I don’t understand what you’re saying.
Shirley was playing dumb, but Ewan was clear that she was faking it and felt sadder for her.
He walked behind Shirley and gently patted her shoulder as if he was transmitting power to her. “Just cry out
loud. After all, you once loved him deeply. It is normal for you to feel sad and shed tears for him.
“But you can’t stay sad. You must pull yourself together and live your life. Ben and Ally are still waiting to
reunite with you. You need to recover from this blow…”
“Nonsense!”
Shirley suddenly raised her head and stared at Ewan with red eyes. She looked very angry. “Antwan lied to me,
and so did you. Both of you think I’m easy to fool, don’t you? Braden is a hard nut to crack. How could he have
died so easily? This lie is too ridiculous!”
“I know you don’t want to face it. You can think he’s still alive. In that case, you will feel better. Then let me tell you, he is still alive. Don’t cry for him anymore.”
Ewan could tell that Braden’s death had a great impact on Shirley.
He thought, if it weren’t for Braden’s death, Shirley wouldn’t have been so cowardly as to not even have the courage to face the truth.
Since she’s not willing to accept it, I’ll lie to her for the rest of her life. Anyway, that’s what I planned to do at first.
“It’s none of my business whether he is dead or alive. I won’t shed a single tear for him. Even if he died to save me, I would only think he was so unlucky…”
Shirley took a deep breath, staggered to the side of the bed, and directly fell on the bed. She turned her back to Ewan and said, “I’m tired and going to sleep. If you have something to say, just do it tomorrow.”
Shirley was crying, and because she didn’t want to make a sound, she was trembling. Looking at her slightly skinny back and the way she looked, Ewan was heartbroken…
He thought to himself, Braden, are you dead or alive? If you are alive, just show up. Are you a man for letting a woman be sad for you?
Chapter 237 She Is Best at Snatching Men
In a certain hotel suitable for the whole family to stay together in the center of Seatle City.
Bennett was sitting cross-legged on the sofa of the living room in a suite and was intently watching “Tom and Jerry” on the TV.
Amelie washed the fruits and put them in front of Bennett. She said with a big smile, “Ben, eat some fruits
and take vitamins.”
Ben wore a cute smile and said, “Thank you, Ms. Nelson. You are beautiful and kind. You are worthy of being a good friend of my mommy.”
“Oh, little fellow, you are so honey-tongued.”
“That’s for sure. I have eaten the super sweet fruits that you washed, and of course, I’m honey-tongued!”
Amelie was overjoyed because of Bennett’s words.
She had warned herself countless times that Bennett was the son of Shirley and Braden, was a big obstacle to her marrying into the Stewart family, and must be sent away as soon as possible.
However, facing Bennett’s angelic smile and sweet words, she couldn’t help but want to be close to him and give him delicious food and beautiful clothes as if she had been enchanted!
Amelie originally planned to have Cordell send Bennett to a special person at Sutor Wharf, but because she couldn’t bear to let Bennett leave, her plan was pushed back again and again.
Due to the urgency and complexity of the situation, she knew that it could no longer drag on like this… She ordered herself to be ruthless and send Bennett away tonight.
Amelie held the fruit plate and sat next to Bennett. Looking at Bennett eating grapes like a little hamster with his cheeks bulging out, she thought he was too cute.
Bennett was watching the cartoon intently and did not even blink.
Looking at him like this, Amelie could not help but smile. She asked, “Ben, you like to watch ‘Tom and Jerry’, right? Do you hate Tom?”
Bennett shook his head. “Of course not. I don’t hate Tom at all. Tom doesn’t look like a nice guy, but in reality, he is not so bad. Although he always wants to eat Jerry, he fails every time. I think this is not only because Jerry is very smart, but also because Tom doesn’t want to eat Jerry wholeheartedly. They are just playing
around!”
“Is is that so?”
“Of course!”
Bennett took hold of Amelie with his soft little hands and said gently, “If you don’t believe me, you can watch it with me. After you watch it, you will find that Tom is quite cute although he is hated by many people. My mommy told me that there are no people who are absolutely good or bad in this world. If a bad person is willing to become a good person, then he can be a good person and is worthy of being liked by everyone.”
“What your mommy has told you is indeed… the great truth.”
After hearing Bennett’s words, Amelie had mixed feelings.
She thought, why do I think this little fellow was being sarcastic by saying so much?
But he is just a four-year-old child. He can’t be so deep and crafty… I must have been overthinking it.
“Ben, what your mommy said is reasonable, but I want to remind you that there are more bad people in this world than you can imagine. And most of the time, bad people are bad people. They will not easily become good people. So, you have to be more careful. Don’t trust strangers casually, and don’t follow strangers away casually. Otherwise, you won’t know it even if you are cheated!”
“Then are you a bad person? Will you cheat me?”
“Of course… I’m not a bad person!”
Amelie stammered because she felt a little guilty after being suddenly asked by Bennett.
Those words she just said were what she couldn’t help but tell Bennett. She wanted to avoid him running into bad guys in the future and didn’t think much about it.
Coincidentally, these words were also told to her by her mother
Her mother was originally his father’s mistress, and by competing with others in various ways and serving her father without dignity, her mother overcame his father’s original spouse, who had grown old, finally became his father’s wife, and created a decent and privileged life for her.
Her mother had told her since she was young that for a woman, birth was the first opportunity to decide her fate, and marriage was the second to decide her fate.
To get a good man, a woman must go snatch. The less ashamed a woman was, the better man she would marry. The more ruthless a woman was, the more stable her status would be. A cowardly woman could only be eliminated, and even her children would be unlucky.
Therefore, Amelie was good at nothing but snatching men.
She got Charles by snatching, and Charles was at her mercy.
She felt Charles was so stupid that he thought she was pregnant with his child, but in fact, that child was not
his.
In other words, even if the child she was carrying was healthy, she would not let the child be born smoothly. It
was just that Shirley happened to be the scapegoat.
Braden was the man she liked at first sight, so she was willing to pay any price as long as she could marry
Braden.
“Ben, you must believe that I am a good person and I won’t hurt you. You need to thank your mommy for
having such a good friend like me.”
Amelie said meaningfully with a smile as she gently stroked Bennett’s head.
She had made up her mind.
She thought, this little fellow is too unfortunate that he is Shirley’s child!
Suddenly, Bennett stopped watching the cartoon. He turned around and stared at Amelie with his big, grape-like eyes.
“What’s what’s wrong?”
Amelie was a little flustered when Bennett looked at her.
She thought, this little fellow looks so much like Braden. When he doesn’t smile, the look in his eyes is as sharp and serious as Braden’s as if he can see me through in a second.
“Nothing. I just think that you are too good. I like you so much. I feel so happy to know you… Ms. Nelson, I’d like to give you a hug!”
After Bennett finished speaking, he stretched out his arms enthusiastically and put them around Amelie’s
neck.
“Oh…”
Amelie froze, not daring to move.
Bennett’s body was soft and seemed to carry the scent of milk. Amelie was touched.
However, she could not see that although Bennett was embracing her warmly, his expression was rather disappointed.
Bennett thought to himself, tut-tut, I gave this bad auntie a chance just now and did not want to make things too bad for her, but she did not wake up to reality. Then don’t blame me for being so merciless…
“Ben, it’s getting late. Drink the milk and go to sleep!”
Amelie hesitated for a long time, but she eventually handed the glass of milk that had been added with a large number of sleeping pills to Bennett.
“Okay, thank you, Ms. Nelson.”
Bennett picked up the milk and finished it quickly.
Soon, Bennett fell asleep, and Amelie couldn’t wake him up no matter what she did.
“Little fellow, don’t blame me. All of this is caused by your mommy. Although you are cute and I like you very much, you are the son of Shirley and I must send you away!”
Amelie sat at the head of the bed and silently watched Bennett. She looked a little sinister and a little bitter.
At this time, the doorbell rang….
