When She Unveils Identities Novel Chapter 156 – He Lost Her
This scene shocked the people at the airport.
Braden and Shirley were also surprised, not knowing what was going on.
Kaza frowned and said unhappily, “Colton, didn’t I make it clear? When the time comes, I will board
the plane myself. Don’t draw everyone’s attention.”
“Mr. Danny, Mr. Robinson was waiting for you anxiously. He was afraid that you would change your mind, so he asked me to escort you back. I have already booked the entire plane.
Please go with me.”
“Escort?”
Kaza rolled his eyes. “I think it’s more like spying on me. It’s been so many years, and grandpa still goes his own way. Isn’t it normal for me to run away?
“But you don’t have to worry. This time, I’m bringing his future granddaughter–in-law back. I definitely won’t run away.”
When Colton heard this, his eyes lit up. He immediately sized up Shirley. “I presume this is the future wife of Mr. Danny. You are really dignified and charming. Mr. Robinson… No, the entire Robinson family will like and accept you.”
“Well…”
Shirley was extremely embarrassed. She couldn’t help but glance at Kaza. Her eyes were sparkling like crystals, filled with shyness.
Kaza was actually going to tell the Robinson family about them?
Now she felt like she was stuck in the middle. She didn’t know what to do.
“The Robinson family?”
Braden’s eyes suddenly became cold and sharp as he looked deeply at Kaza.
This little hacker, who looked free and unruly, seemed not as simple as he looked on the surface.
“Yes, Mr. Stewart.”
Kaza nodded, and the smile on his lips deepened. He said unhurriedly, “It’s a powerful family in Santho City. Bruce is my grandfather.”
“Could it be that you are…”
“I am the sole heir of the Robinson family and the only biological grandson of Bruce. My name is Danny… As for the identity of a hacker, I just did it for fun.”
“It’s you!”
Braden felt that it was expected and reasonable after listening to Kaza’s introduction.
Everyone knew that the Stewart family in Seatle City and the Robinson family in Santho City. One was on the east side, and the other was on the west side. Both families were powerful. But they never interfered in each other’s business.
Braden had always wanted to meet Danny, who was also responsible for the whole family. Unfortunately, this guy was as free as the wind. He was more willful than Braden and never cared about family affairs. His whereabouts were also uncertain, so Braden had never seen Danny.
Unexpectedly, this was the first time they had met, and it was with Shirley as the middleman.
“Mr. Stewart, are you very surprised?”
Danny put his hands in his pockets and smiled with ease.
Compared to Braden, who was as cold as an iceberg, Danny was relaxed and casual as if he was a common boy. He was easygoing, not like a guy from a rich family at all.
“I thought that based on the deep friendship between the Robinson family and the Stewart family, you had already investigated me thoroughly… After all, I have lived in the halo of Mr. Stewart since I was a child. I have known you since then.”
Braden snorted, “In other words, you have been plotting for a long time. You were on purpose when you got close to her.”
“Not all of it is like this…”
Danny said, “Back then, Mr. Wilson originally wanted to entrust Ms. Wilson to me. Unfortunately, I refused him, so I missed a nice young lady.
“Now… Ms. Wilson has gained freedom. I’m just pursuing the fate that should belong to me. I hope that Mr. Stewart can be a gentleman and fulfill my wish as her ex–husband.”
After he finished speaking, Danny confidently and naturally tried to pull Shirley to his side.
“Is that so?”
Braden refused to let go. He was always high and mighty. “Then let’s see if you have the ability to get her.”
Hence, Shirley was like a doll, being pulled by the two men. It was miserable.
“Stop!”
Shirley could not endure this kind of behavior. With a shout, she kicked the two of them and finally broke free.
“Are the two of you crazy? Do you think that I’m a doll? Neither of you asked for my opinion when you were busy getting me!”
Braden and Danny finally stopped competing and stared at Shirley.
Braden said coldly, “If you could think about it, you should know that this man has an ulterior motive for getting close to you. What choice will you make? You should already know what to do.”
Danny shrugged his shoulders and admitted frankly, “I didn’t deny that. Because I have been obsessed with you. I want you to become the future hostess of the Robinson family. I believe that the Robinson family can give you a prosperous and stable life as the Stewart family does.”
Shirley looked at Braden and then looked at Danny. Without a moment of hesitation, she stood on the side of Danny and said with a faint smile, “Indeed, I know what to do. One is a man who brought me pain, and the other is a man who will bring me happiness. Who do you think I will choose?”
After she finished speaking, she held onto Danny’s arm and walked towards the boarding gate.
At this moment, she had an unprecedented carefree feeling. She finally understood that in Braden’s eyes, she, who was dull and useless, could also shine in other people’s eyes…
Braden froze.
Braden watched as the two of them left, and his heart felt great pain. It was as if something important was flowing out of his soul.
When she was with him, he felt nothing, and he never thought she was important.
When he lost her, he knew that without her, his life was so miserable.
Shirley got on the plane with Danny. She held her head high, and her expression was cool, like a proud swan. She would never let herself reveal a trace of timidity and hesitation.
Jason had said that one could feel sad in his heart, but his back must be cool.
Just as Colton had said, the Robinson family had booked the entire plane to welcome them back to Santho City.
Shirley sat in the luxurious cabin, watching the plane fly from the ground to the sky bit by bit, her eyes melancholic.
Danny sat next to her, holding fresh fruits and exquisite sweets in his hands.
“You seem unhappy. Do you want to eat some sweet food to help you get better?”
Shirley turned around and looked at the colorful and exquisite dessert. Her eyes immediately lit up. She took a small cake and concentrated on tasting it.
“Of course, I want to eat it. If I don’t eat some food, how could I have the strength to be sad?”
Shirley chewed while enjoying the pleasure the dessert brought her. She looked out the window and continued to be sad.
Danny was amused by her appearance.
He had never seen a contradictory woman like Shirley, who could perfectly merge depression and optimism.
The side of the woman’s face, in her beauty, there was a bit of melancholy, full of stories, which made him feel pity.
Danny’s heartbeat fastened, and he could not stop thinking about her.
“That…”
He cleared his throat and carefully probed, “What you said just now, is it true?”
Chapter 157 This Is Too Much
Shirley turned around and met Danny’s eyes which were filled with affection. She was stunned for a moment. Then, she calmly smiled and said, “What about you? Did you mean it when you said it?”
Danny’s heart skipped a beat again, and his expression was very unnatural.
He hadn’t expected this. He didn’t plan to take it seriously, but now, he suddenly felt a little out of control.
He raised his eyebrows, half–joking and half–serious. “Of course. Ever since I found out that you are FireDance, I have regretted not marrying you four years ago…”
“Really?”
Shirley curved her red lips and said with a faint smile, “But I was married. The Robinson family is a well–known family. Why would you want a woman who married someone else?”
“What’s wrong with that?”
Danny’s handsome face immediately became serious. He said indignantly, “Those women who were married are the best of the best. Those stupid men didn’t know how to treasure them and lost. them. Those who can marry them are lucky!”
“Although you don’t mind, your family may mind.”
“Don’t worry, no one in the Robinson family dares to mind. They will only open their arms and warmly welcome you!”
Danny continued, “My grandfather has never submitted to anyone except for your grandfather. If he knows that you are the granddaughter of General Wilson, he will probably want to give us a wedding ceremony on the spot. The Stewart family may not value you, but the Robinson family will definitely treat you as a treasure. Just rest assured!”
Danny comforted her sincerely. Shirley’s gloomy mood became a lot better.
“Okay, then I’ll consider it.”
After Danny heard it, he became so excited. “Okay, then I’ll take it as you agree!”
It took about three hours to fly from Seatle City to Santho City.
After chatting with Danny for a while, Shirley fell asleep.
When she woke up, the plane had already landed.
“When you get off the plane, be mentally prepared. The Robinson family is…”
“Huh?”
Shirley took off her blindfold and looked at him with her sleepy eyes.
Danny paused and shrugged helplessly. “The Robinson family is fancy.”
Shirley did not take his words seriously. She yawned and lazily followed him off the plane.
The moment she got off the plane, she saw the exaggerated scene in front of her. She immediately shivered and understood why Danny wanted her to be mentally prepared!
With a bang, gorgeous fireworks bloomed in the night sky. Over a hundred drones kept changing positions, revealing the words: Shirley, welcome!
Moreover, the large tarmac had been cleared. A group of mercenaries lined up in an orderly fashion and shouted in unison, “Shirley, welcome to the Robinson family!”
“Kaff! Kaff!”
Seeing this, Shirley was too scared to stay steady. She quickly hid behind Danny and grabbed his arm as a cover.
After the group of mercenaries finished shouting, they began to sing military songs. Then, they held large spears in their hands and began to practice. They looked murderous as if they were going to go to the battlefield in minutes.
“What… what’s going on?”
Shirley was like a cute rabbit, hiding behind Danny the entire time. She was so confused.
Were they going to fight or skin her alive?
Danny gently touched her furry head and smiled helplessly, “This is the tradition of the Robinson family. We do this to welcome distinguished guests. Isn’t it very exaggerated? That’s why I told you. to be mentally prepared!”
“I see…”
Shirley finally relaxed and complained, “This is too much… I thought that I was just here to see your parents. I thought I would die here!”
“Don’t worry, you are a distinguished guest of the Robinson family. This is the highest courtesy. We treat you like a treasure and will never hurt you!”
After Danny finished speaking, he suddenly grabbed Shirley’s hand and said, “Since we’re acting, we have to act good. We should be intimate like real lovers, or else my grandfather will see through our lie very soon.”
Shirley cooperatively held Danny’s hand and said in a very serious tone, “No problem, leave it to me!”
So, they held hands and got off the plane step by step.
From afar, Shirley could see an old man wearing battle clothes at the end of the group of mercenaries. His jacket was covered in medals. With the help of a man and a woman, he got out of an armored car and rushed over to greet them.
“Grandpa! Dad! Mom!”
Danny had tears in his eyes as he excitedly waved at them.
He had been away from home for so many years. He missed his home, his grandfather who spoiled him a lot, and his parents.
He let go of Shirley’s hand and opened his arms to give them a warm hug. However, they did not hug him. Instead, his grandfather patted his face.
“Brat, get out of my way!”
Bruce impatiently pushed Danny away. Then, he looked at Shirley, his face full of smiles. He used all the gentleness and kindness he had and said to Shirley, “Good kid, are you Shirley Wilson? Are you Jason’s granddaughter?”
Shirley was a little embarrassed by Bruce’s warmness. She nodded and said, “Yes, I am Shirley.
Jason is my grandfather.”
“Great! Awesome! I have waited for this day for twenty years!”
Bruce recalled the past emotionally, “If it hadn’t been Jason, I wouldn’t be standing here. Back then, I was too willful. Because I had a grudge against the Stewart family, I even had a conflict with Jason… So I missed the last chance to see Jason!
“You are indeed Jason’s granddaughter. Your eyes look like his, brave and determined. I can tell that you are a talented leader…”
Bruce carefully sized up Shirley. He was very pleased and his eyes were full of praise.
Danny’s father Chaz Robinson and Danny’s mother Yasmin Robinson were also full of praise for
Shirley.
“Wow! Ms. Wilson is so beautiful. She looks like my future daughter–in–law. Luckily, the Stewart family doesn’t know how precious she is, so I can have this chance to meet her!”
Yasmin held Shirley’s hand. Her eyes were like an X–ray, probing Shirley, wishing she could see through Shirley completely.
“Of course. Think about it. Ms. Wilson’s mother used to be a famous beauty in Seatle City. Back then, in order to get her, those young and rich guys from those noble families fought and turned the entire Seatle City upside down…”
Chaz was excited as he said, “In my opinion, Ms. Wilson is even more beautiful than her mother!”
“Ahahahaha…”
Shirley didn’t know how to react to their enthusiasm at all. She smiled awkwardly and looked at
Danny for help.
Danny quickly pulled away Yasmin’s hand and came to stand in front of Shirley. “Guys, control yourself. Don’t scare my girlfriend!”
Bruce said, “Good child, why are you scared? In the future, you will be the mistress of the Robinson family. To express our sincerity, the Robinson family has prepared a special meeting gift for you. I believe you will like it!”
Chapter 158 A Natural General
“Gift?”
Shirley hurriedly waved her hands and stepped backward. “Mr. Robinson, thank you, but I can’t accept your gift. See, I haven’t even prepared anything for you. You really don’t have to give me at gift”
Ever since the Wilson family declined and Shirley married into the Stewart family, she had suffered a lot over the years. It had been a long time since she had felt respected and loved.
As the Robinson family was friendly, Shirley was very touched and a little guilty.
After all, she was just acting it and failed to live up to them.
Bruce frowned and said seriously, “What nonsense are you talking about, Shirley? What do you mean by that? I like you very much. I’ve made up my mind to take you as the future hostess of the Robinson family… So I’m not joking. You can even take it as a betrothal gift.”
Shirley cleared her throat. “Thank you, anyway.”
Shirley was so embarrassed, wishing that she could leave quickly.
If she had known that the Robinson family was so serious, Shirley would not have interfered no
matter what.
Shirley hurriedly winked at Danny, who pretended not to see her. He even asked Bruce excitedly, “Grandpa, don’t pay lip service. The betrothal gift cannot be too cheap, or it will be very
embarrassing.
“It is said that the Stewart family gave Shirley a luxurious house as a betrothal gift when Shirley got married. How much are you going to spend?”
“Humph, it’s tacky to measure it by money. Nowadays… who still lacks money? Only the nouveau riche like the Stewart family likes to take this way.”
Bruce showed a very disdainful expression. He did not take the head of the top eight families of Seatle City seriously at all.
Bruce looked up and proudly pointed to the hundreds of armed soldiers. He said, “Shirley, you are Jason’s granddaughter and were born into a military family. You’re a natural general, but your father chose to be a businessman instead. In the end, he suffered a crushing defeat. So… I will give you this well–trained No. 16 army of the Robinson family to help you revive your family.”
“You … want to give me a troop?”
Shirley was stunned by this gift.
She had thought that Bruce would give her money, treasures, real estate, and so on, but Shirley had
not expected that it would be such a strong team.
“This troop is trained by me. All of the soldiers are strong and have made countless contributions. I
named them ‘Devil Legion‘. Now it is yours.”
After that, Bruce took off a medal in front of his chest and seriously handed it to Shirley. Then, he
said to the legion of 500 people, “The medal is like a military order. The person holding the medal
will be your general. From now on, you will fight for her.”
The moment Bruce finished speaking, 500 well–trained and loyal soldiers immediately knelt on one knee and said to Shirley in an imposing manner, “We’re always at your service, General
Wilson.”
Shirley originally wanted to refuse, but probably because she was touched by the words “a natural
general“, she looked at those soldiers and immediately felt excited.
Shirley remembered when she was a child, her grandfather told her the story of leading soldiers to fight. She also dreamed more than once that she would one day wear a battle suit and become a great general who made her grandfather and the Wilson family proud.
Therefore, Shirley raised the medal high and shouted to the soldiers, “Fight for honor!”
It might look exaggerated to others, but when it came to Shirley, it was so perfect as if she was born
to fight. It looked very stirring.
“Good. Very good!”
Bruce stood to the side and kept nodding. He looked gratified, his eyes filled with tears. He thought, Jason, do you see this? Just like you, your granddaughter is a natural general. Her future is promising!
Chaz held Yasmin’s hand, and tears also welled up in their eyes. They wondered, so cool. Our son has finally made us proud once. This is simply our dream daughter–in–law.
Only Danny was a little embarrassed. He thought, damn. They seem to be serious. The troop was even sent to Shirley. If I’m caught, will they let go of me?
Then they sat in a fancy car and went to the top–notch restaurant in Santho City.
Yasmin believed that Shirley was her future daughter–in–law. She pushed Danny to the side and tried to sit next to Shirley. Along the way, Yasmin held Shirley’s hand and pointed to the view outside the window. “Shirley, look at that mall. It belongs to our family… That building and the highest TV tower in the distance are also ours. We’ve invested in five local TV stations…”
Shirley looked at those buildings all the way and couldn’t help but sigh. She thought the Robinson family was really strong, even comparable to the Stewart family.
However, the two powerful families didn’t take it the same way.
The Stewart family was located in Seatle City. As it was close to the coast and the traffic network was well developed, it was an economic center.
The situation was different in Santho City. It was an inland city, and the industrial structure was simple. There were many monopolies.
The two families were both very powerful. Because of their ancestors, they disliked each other. Fortunately, they didn’t interfere with each other and developed their own ways. So there were no disputes of interest.
Thus, Shirley seemed to become the center of a bitter competition battle between the two great
families.
Shirley and the others came to the restaurant and sat down.
Bruce sat at the head of the table. He picked up a glass of wine and said, “Shirley, you have suffered these years. I heard that the Stewart family did not treat you well, and you were kicked out of the Stewart family. You can take it, but I can’t. So I thought twice and decided to attack the Stewart family. I will teach them a lesson and avenge you.”
After he finished speaking, Bruce drank a glass of wine.
Shirley held the wine glass and said in fear, “Thank you for your care, Mr. Robinson. But you don’t have.to avenge me. I haven’t suffered much in the Stewart family all these years, because I was willing. Now that I am divorced, I have nothing to do with the Stewart family. I don’t want to contact
them anymore.
“No!”
Bruce said, “You’re too soft. You can’t think that way. I have to look after you for your grandfather’s
sake, so I must avenge you.”
“Well…”
Shirley was a little awkward.
She thought, is Bruce joking or just paying lip service? If he really wants to avenge me, what’s he going to do?
Just as Shirley was about to say something, the waiter nervously pushed open the door and came in. He said in fear, “Excuse me. I’m sorry to disturb you. Someone is waiting outside and would like to have a meal with everyone. Do you agree?”
Chapter 159 Both Tough and Silly
“How dare someone make such an arrogant request?”
Bruce slapped the table and said to the waiter, “Let him in. In Santho City, the turf of the Robinson family, how dare someone do so?”
Shirley also looked in the direction of the door with great curiosity.
After all, the Robinson family was the only powerful one in Santho City. One must be bold enough to challenge the Robinson family.
The door of the private room opened. A woman dressed in silk clothes and carrying an expensive
bag walked in slowly.
“Long time no see, Mr. Robinson. I miss you so much, so I came all the way from Seatle City. I hope that you can allow me to stay with you for a meal.”
Under everyone’s gaze, the woman placed her expensive Hermes bag on the table and naturally sat
down.
This person was elegant and arrogant. It was Shirley’s ex–mother–in–law, Tracy.
“Mom.”
Shirley was too surprised and subconsciously shouted, but she quickly corrected it. “Mrs. Stewart, what are you doing here? This is Santho City.”
In other words, this was the turf of the Robinson family, and this wasn’t Seatle City. Given the grudge between the Robinson family and the Stewart family, Shirley thought it was risky for Tracy
to be here.
“Ah, goodness!”
Tracy immediately turned to Shirley. Tracy was surprised and said, “Shirley, my good girl. Long time no see. Interesting. Why are you here? What did you just call me? Say it again?”
Shirley was speechless.
She thought, didn’t we meet yesterday?
Also… do we have such a loving relationship? Mrs. Stewart, you can act more pretentious!
At that time, the most emotional person was Danny’s mother, Yasmin.
future
She stood up directly and pointed in the direction of the door, saying, “Tracy, Shirley is not your daughter–in–law. Everyone knows that your son and Shirley have divorced. She is now my daughter–in–law. Don’t try to get close to her. No one welcomes you here. Get out now!”
L
Tracy naturally would not show weakness. She slowly poured herself a glass of wine and leisurely swayed the glass. Tracy smiled and said, “Yasmin, why are you so emotional? We have been good. friends since we were young. When we were young, we were connected and always liked the same things, such as flowers, dolls, jewelry, and even men…”
“Tracy, shut up!”
At this point, Yasmin’s face was already very gloomy. She subconsciously approached the wine
bottle and seemed to beat Tracy up.
Tracy was spoiled by her family when she was young. After she was married and her son was born, her husband and her son also doted on her. So she had long been bold and arrogant. Not only did Tracy not restrain herself, but she even said, “Back then, you and I both liked Braden’s father. I was generous enough to give him to you, but Braden’s father was so stubborn. He said that he fell in love with me at first sight and wanted to live with me. I had no choice but to marry him. Since then… We haven’t seen each other for twenty years.”
“Tracy, enough! Everyone is here. Don’t you feel ashamed to say so?”
Yasmin clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.
If Yasmin didn’t mean to leave a good impression on her future daughter–in–law, she would
probably have hit Tracy.
“How come? Back then, we got ugly with each other for fighting over Braden’s father. Your husband also knows this. That’s our youth. I didn’t feel ashamed at all…”
After Tracy finished speaking, she clinked Shirley’s wine glass and smiled. “Look, my good girl. I
also have wonderful memories. That is much more interesting than yours.”
“Eh, haha…”
Shirley smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to respond.
In the past, she only knew that Tracy was arrogant and unreasonable, but Shirley did not know that
she was both tough and silly.
Shirley thought Tracy was risking her neck to show off in front of Yasmin.
“How dare you!”
Sure enough, Chaz looked fierce. He slammed the table and shouted, “Do you think you are in Seatle City? This is the turf of the Robinson family. If you continue to talk nonsense and offend my
wife, I won’t let you go.”
Tracy snorted. “Oh, I am so scared. Chaz, no matter what, we were childhood sweethearts. When we were young, I even pretended to be your wife in the game. Now, are you threatening me?”
“You!”
Chaz was furious. He clenched his fist and wanted to make a move.
Given that, Shirley quickly stepped forward and said, “Mr. Chaz, please calm down. Mrs. Stewart always says harsh words. Just take her as a rude and childish kid. Please don’t lower yourself to her
level.”
All these years, Shirley had always thought this way to survive it.
In fact, Tracy was not bad in nature, apart from her harsh words and fiery temper.
To some sense, Tracy could even be considered a good person.
Among the many rich and powerful people, Tracy was the most active in charity and spent a lot helping others.
Therefore, even though Shirley had been bullied by Tracy for those years, she had never hated
Tracy.
“Shirley is right. Don’t lower yourself to the same level as the crazy person.”
Chaz and Yasmin finally calmed down and held back their desire to hit Tracy hard.
Shirley said to Tracy, “Mrs. Stewart, if there’s nothing else, please leave. This is a family party. It is not appropriate for an outsider like you to be here.”
These words sounded harsh, but Shirley said that to protect Tracy.
The Robinson family was not very kind. They had a legion, and they were very powerful in Santho
City.
If they were really mad, they wouldn’t let go of Tracy even though she was from the Stewart family.
“A family party?”
Tracy sat there calmly and smiled. “You are not their family, but you also sit here.”
Shirley was speechless.
She didn’t know how to help Tracy anymore.
It was because Tracy was spoiled. She was too ignorant and didn’t have the slightest sense of crisis.
At this time, Bruce, who had not spoken for a long time, said in a neutral tone, “Tracy, your family and mine can be considered to be related by blood somewhat.
It is a pity that this relationship has been completely ruined from the moment you married into the Stewart family. So… what exactly is your purpose? Why don’t you just say it? If you can’t explain, don’t blame my family for beingmerciless.”
Chapter 160 Are You Not Interested in Me?
Hearing this, Tracy raised her eyebrows and put down her wine glass. She said slowly, “In that ca I will also lay out my cards and stop pretending. My purpose of coming to Santho City is to bring
back my daughter in law Shirley safely.”
As soon as she said this, everyone immediately became nervous. The expressions on everyone‘
faces were quite complicated.
Tracy was not afraid at all and continued, “Shirley grew up in Seatle City. That is a coastal city. The climate is pleasant. The economy is boosting. She was born with a silver spoon. However, Santho City is located inland, poor and remote. The traffic is underdeveloped. It’s inconvenient to live there. Staying here can be very hard. She is too young and muddle–headed. I can’t watch her ruin her life!”
The Robinson family was stumped.
They were very angry. No one spoke up for a while.
But one could sense their anger
Shirley tugged on Tracy’s arm in fear and trepidation. She whispered, “Mrs. Stewart, stop talking. Why did you hold against Santho City?”
Tracy was outspoken. She was afraid of nothi
“I’m not discriminating against the city. This is the truth. Look at the annual global wealth leaderboard. How many people come from Seatle City? What about Santho City? There is a huge Can’t I be frank?” Shirley said.
Tracy grabbed Shirley’s hand, stood up, and said, “My dear girl, let’s bygones be bygones. I can see that my son loves you. Come back with me. You can start anew!
“Mrs. Stewart, don’t be like this!”
Shirley rejected Tracy in a serious and cold tone, “Didn’t Braden tell you? I made it very clear at the airport. Between him and Danny, I chose Danny. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have followed Danny to Santho City. Since Braden and I have separated, we should move on. If you continue to pester me, it
will be your fault.”
“Impossible, I don’t believe it!”
Tracy was like a child fighting for a toy. Her attitude was stubborn. “You loved Braden so much before. You wouldn’t give up on him so easily. I know that you are angry. You’re angry at Braden for not treating you well. You are angry that the Stewart family didn’t take you seriously and that I didn’t treat you well back then. But don’t joke about your marriage. The Robinson family is just hell. None of them are good people. If you marry into this family, they will exhaust you!
“Tracy, shut up! I’ve tolerated you for a long time
Yasmin couldn’t stand it anymore. She looked towards the door and loudly ordered, “This woman is crazy. She dares to come to the Robinson family and cause trouble. Bring her into the Penance
House and teach her a lesson!”
Soon, two tall men in black uniforms and pistols came in. They held Tracy by two sides and
violently carried her out.
Shirley panicked and quickly stepped forward to stop them. “Let’s talk about it. This is not decent.
Don’t do this.”
Yasmin soothed Shirley, “Shirley, stay out of this. Since she came to Santho City, she has to abide by the rules of Santho City. Anyone who dares to insult the Robinson family will be confined to the Penance House. If Tracy is exempted from it, people will think that the Robinson family is afraid of the Stewart family!”
“But…”
Shirley looked at Bruce and Chaz. The two of them were drinking and eating calmly as if nothing
had happened.
Obviously, this was exactly what they meant. Yasmin just did as they wished.
Rumors about the Robinson family were true. They were the local gangs in Santho City, more
domineering and arrogant than Shirley had imagined.
Danny noticed that Shirley was worried, so he tried to comfort her. “Don’t worry. Tracy is too unreasonable and willful. It’s good to teach her a lesson. She will be fine.”
“That’s right.”
Bruce laughed, “The Robinson family is decent. What happened just now was no big deal. Don’t let it affect your mood. Let’s dig in!”
Shirley was in a fearful mood over the meal. She felt like she was trapped in hell.
It was already very dark when Shirley returned from the restaurant to the Robinson’s house.
The Robinson’s house was a courtyard of archaic style, divided into four parts in four directions.
Each courtyard was unique, decorated with pavilions, carved railings, and a pool. It was very classic and elegant.
Shirley’s room was in the east courtyard, next to Danny’s.
“Danny, you must take good care of her. Show Shirley around. Let her get familiar with this place as soon as possible.”
卫
Yasmin told this to Danny before going to bed.
“Don’t worry, Mom. She’s my girlfriend. I will take good care of her. You don’t need to tell me this.”
“Humph, since she’s your girlfriend, you should live together. Why are you sleeping in separate
rooms?”
“Ah, Mom, I told you that my girlfriend is shy. She will be embarrassed if she lives with me before she gets married. We can talk about it after we get married…”
Danny pushed Yasmin out of the room and said, “Go to bed quickly. Don’t disturb the two of us.”
Hearing this, Yasmin went away quickly. “You’re right. I’d better leave you alone. Behave yourself,
my boy.”
Finally, everyone left, leaving only Shirley and Danny in the room.
“Kaza, tell me honestly. Are you trying to trick me?”
Shirley asked with a serious tone, her face tense.
“What makes you think so?”
Kaza was calm and had a faint smile on his face.
“You said that I would only pretend to be your girlfriend and meet your parents, but you didn’t tell me that they would take it seriously. They even gave me an army. If I didn’t marry you, I would think that I went too far. You make things difficult for me. What should I do next?”
Shirley clenched her fists and asked.
She was very uneasy.
On the one hand, she felt that the Robinson family was too good to her, but she lied to them, which
made her feel guilty.
On the other hand, she had also seen the way the Robinson family handled things. If she angered
them, she would probably be in trouble.
“Why does it concern you?”
Kaza moved step by step towards Shirley. The corners of his lips curled into a charming arc. “You might as well be serious and marry me. I am not joking about letting you be one of the Robinson family.”
“Stop joking!”
Shirley stepped back, trying to push the man away. She said, “I have no interest in taking care of the family. I just want to live a peaceful life.”
Kaza did not let go of Shirley. Instead, he blocked her between himself and the wall. His voice was full of magnetism. “FireDance, look up at me. Even if you are not interested in attending to a family, are you not interested in me?”
Chapter 161 Will Danny Marry a Divorced Woman?
To be honest, Danny was indeed a little charming at this moment, but Shirley was very unaccustomed to it and had goosebumps all over her body.
She grabbed the man’s arm and seized the opportunity to counterattack.
Danny, who had originally blocked her on the wall, was instantly suppressed. His handsome face was pressed firmly against the wall by Shirley. “Danny, behave yourself. Are you flirting with me? If
you dare to tease me again, I’ll twist off your arm!”
“Ah, it hurts. Shirley, please let me go!”
How could Danny have expected that Shirley was so fierce? He immediately surrendered. “Ah!” His exclamation resounded through the entire east courtyard.
Yasmin, who had not gone far, heard this voice. She beamed. Great! Danny finally made it this time!
Inside the room.
Shirley taught Danny a good lesson and finally let him go.
“FireDance, as a girl and a hacker, how can you grapple? You are so fierce. Who will dare to marry you in the future?”
Danny rubbed his arm that was about to be broken and kept a distance from Shirley. He teased her
with a fake smile.
“Are you still talking nonsense?”
Shirley raised her arm and warned him with a cold face.
“No, no, no…”
Danny took a step backward timidly. “You know, this is me. It’s not the first time you have talked to me. You can’t let me shut up, right?”
“That’s right. You deserve a beating.”
Only then did Shirley slowly put down her hand. Then she asked in a seemingly indifferent tone, “What are you going to do to Tracy?”
Danny stretched himself. Then he said seriously, “What can we do? Teach her a good lesson!”
“Are you all crazy?”
Shirley was a little excited, her expression solemn. “She is Braden’s mother. If you hurt her, the Stewart family will never spare you. Although you have an army, the Stewart family is powerful. They are not inferior to you. When the time comes, both sides will be injured!”
L
“How can both sides be injured?”
Danny’s eyes were cold. He sneered, “Since it is a fight, there will only be one result. The winner takes all. Although the Robinson family and the Stewart family have been at peace for so many years, we have been secretly competing with each other. It’s time to put everything on the table!”
All these years, the Robinson family had always wanted to attack the Stewart family, but they could not find a suitable excuse. Tracy’s sudden appearance provided a good opportunity!
“But…”
“Alright, FireDance, you don’t have to interfere in this matter. You are a member of the Wilson family. The Robinson family will treat you as our own. We won’t hurt you. Just stay here and watch
the show.”
After saying this, Danny adjusted his clothes and ended the topic.
“It’s very late today. You must be tired. Have a good rest. I’ll go.”
After Danny left, Shirley became even more worried.
She could indeed stand by as Danny had said, but she could not do it!
She was afraid that something would happen to Tracy. She was even more afraid that the Stewart
family would start a war against the Robinson family.
Thinking about it, Shirley felt that the only way to solve this crisis was to find the Penance House.
Then she would send Tracy back to Seatle City safely!
But Santho City was big. The range of the Robinson family’s influence reached everywhere. Where
would Tracy be locked up?
“No, I can’t wait any longer!”
Shirley thought of a plan and quickly opened the door to the cloakroom.
She did not expect that all kinds of expensive clothes had already been hung inside. All of the
clothes fitted her body size.
The wardrobe included clothes, shoes, bags, and jewelry.
It was very luxurious.
It could be seen that the Robinson family took her seriously. Bruce even gave her an army. She felt very guilty!
Shirley immediately decided that when she sent Tracy away, she would confess to the Robinson family!
She took off a few pieces of black and white clothes. Then she used scissors to cut them. Soon, she
made a black and white uniform that looked like a servant’s.
After changing her clothes, she sat in front of the dressing mirror. Then she deliberately put on
old fashioned makeup and combed a low ponytail.
“Tsk tsk, I am really clever!”
When Shirley saw that there was no difference between her and the servants of the Robinson
family, she could not help but smile. She wanted to immediately reward herself with a bunch of red
flowers.
It was late now.
In the back garden of the Robinson family’s east courtyard, a few servants had finished a day of
work and quickly gathered together while their masters were asleep, chattering about something.
“Have you heard of it? The girlfriend Mr. Danny brought back this time is the future mistress of the Robinson family. Mr. Bruce and the others like her very much!”
“But I heard that the woman was divorced because she was sterile. Will the handsome and elegant
Mr. Danny marry a divorced woman?”
“You’re right. The Stewart family abandoned her, while the Robinson family thinks highly of her. Is Mr. Bruce crazy?”
Shirley hid behind the stone pillar of the pavilion. When she heard these words, she directly. laughed in anger.
“Yes, the Robinson family is so prominent. Mr. Danny is so outstanding. How can he marry a divorced woman? He is blind!”
“Who? Who is talking?”
The servants were scared out of their wits and stayed close to each other.
Shirley slowly walked out and looked at the maids who were around her age with a faint smile. She clicked her tongue and said, “In my view, Mr. Danny should have married you. Look at all of you. You are all so young and pretty, so you must be able to bear children. More importantly, you’re still innocent. How precious!”
“Who are you? Why are you eavesdropping on us?”
The servants looked at Shirley warily.
“I am a new servant. Glad to see you.”
Shirley lowered her head, looking extremely modest.
“So you are a newcomer!”
Seeing Shirley’s old–fashioned clothes and innocent face, they started to put on airs. “The
Robinson family has always been strict in recruiting servants. A maid must be fair, beautiful, and well–educated. You are old and ugly and you look uncultured at first glance. You are far inferior to us. Tell me, what are you responsible for?”
“Well, I’m not very clear…”
Shirley put on a silly look, scratched her hair, and said, “I heard that I will keep watch on a woma who is disrespectful to the Robinson family and locked into the Penance House. I can’t find the exact location of the Penance House. Can you take me there?”
“I see. No wonder!”
Thanks to Shirley’s disguise, no one doubted her words.
“Come with me. I’ll take you there.”
The leading servant raised her chin and said to Shirley.
Shirley obediently followed the servant. She had not expected everything to go so smoothly.
After walking for a while, the servant suddenly stopped and frowned as she sized up Shirley. “N your uniform is a little different from ours!”
Chapter 162 Save Tracy
Shirley got on her nerve but she remained cool on the surface. “Is that so? How is it different? This
style is the same!”
“The style is the same, but the fabric is different…”
After the maid finished speaking, she rubbed the fabric of Shirley’s clothes with her fingers and said, “This is silk. How can such a high–end fabric be used as a working suit for a woman? So your identity is very suspicious!”
The maid was observant!
Shirley silently murmured, no wonder she can work in the Robinson family. Even though she is just
a maid, she is very intelligent.
However, Shirley did not panic. She remained calm and said, “Then maybe it is a modified version. The Robinson family is rich, so it is normal for them to allow the maids to dress well. You are not questioning the strength of the Robinson family, are you?”
“I, I didn’t mean that!”
The maid hurriedly explained, “The Robinson family is super in the world. I am loyal to the Robinson family. It’s just that I have always been cautious when doing things.”
“Then we have to go to Mrs. Robinson to confirm whether she can afford this dress.”
“No need!”
The maid did not dare to alarm Yasmin. She waved her hand and said, “Don’t dawdle. Let’s go!”
The two of them walked under the moonlight. After walking for a long distance, they finally saw a
thatched hut under a bamboo forest in a side courtyard of the Robinson family.
It was the Penance House.
“It’s here. Just guard outside the door. No matter what you hear, don’t open the door for her. Don’t send anything until Mrs. Robinson lifts the ban.”
The maid carefully explained with a very serious expression.
“Is that so?”
Shirley looked at the shabby thatched hut. She could not help but swallow her saliva.
She did not expect that the so–called Penance House of the Robinson family turned out to be a shabby hut.
“What do you think?”
The maid said proudly, “Mr. Robinson said that the severest punishment for a person is not physical punishment but mental torture. In short, it makes her lose her senses, freedom, and connection with the world. It makes her unable to feel the passage of time. It makes her feel it is better to die than to live!”
“You’ve got a point, but I’m confused. What is the meaning of losing her senses and not feeling the passage of time?”
“You don’t understand…”
The maid continued to explain, “This thatched hut is more complicated than it looks. Inside it is a silent wall made of special materials. It is a vast expanse of whiteness. Other than air, there is nothing. The most terrifying thing is that even sound cannot be transmitted…
“If a normal person stays there for half an hour, he will feel it is as long as a century. If one stays there for more than three days, he will go crazy!”
When Shirley heard this, she couldn’t help but shiver. “Damn, it’s really scary!”
She could imagine the suffocating feeling of not being able to hear
any
sound.
It seemed that she had to save Tracy immediately. Otherwise, Tracy would probably go crazy in
three hours!
“It’s good that you know how scary it is!”
The maid warned, “In short, you must not do anything to let down the Robinson family. Otherwise, the next one to be locked up will be you.”
“Don’t worry. I am loyal to the Robinson family. I will never and I dare not betray the Robinson
family…”
Shirley lied and then urged the maid to leave.
The maid took a look at Shirley’s honest appearance, believing that Shirley did not dare to violate the rules. Then the maid left in peace.
Shirley quickly ran to the thatched hut to take a look.
The thatched hut looked like a thatched hut, but its material was very advanced. It was made of hairy glass walls.
She could clearly see Tracy roaring in the room, smashing the door with her fist, kicking around on the ground, and even digging her nose.
But Tracy in the room could not see the outside. There was nothing in front of her except white.
“Hahaha, Mrs. Stewart, now you know the consequence. Who asked you to come to the Robinson family and make trouble? You deserve it!”
After laying on the wall and looking for a while, Shirley did not feel sorry for Tracy. Instead, laughed out loud.
she
Although she had seen Tracy put on airs quite a few times and even made a fool of herself, this time was different. Tracy had never been humiliated like this.
Shirley slowly recorded the crazy Tracy on her mobile phone and then began to study how to unlock
the door.
This lock was also very advanced and had a very advanced anti–theft system. It required a complicated key to unlock.
To others, unlocking this lock was difficult, but to a genius hacker like Shirley, it was as easy as pie.
She took out her phone and a wireless device. After a while, the floor automatically displayed a virtual keyboard.
Her slender fingers quickly tapped on the keyboard. Her phone made a decoding sound.
In the end, the door lock system made a “ding” sound. The password was successfully decoded.
After Shirley entered the password expressionlessly, the thick door opened.
Tracy, who was so angry and restless, suddenly got on her nerve. She shivered and quickly turned
to the door.
When she saw Shirley, she couldn’t believe it at first. Then she cried, “You jinx. Ah, my good daughter–in–law, you finally came to save me!
“If you don’t save me, I will die here. I won’t die from pain or boredom. I will be suffocated to death by shit and urine!”
Tracy didn’t care about her image at all. She threw herself at Shirley and hysterically complained about how painful she was in this Penance House.
Shirley rubbed her temples and said in a low voice, “You can shout louder. If you alarm the Robinson family, we don’t have to go.”
“Who cares? I am not afraid of them!”
Although Tracy said so, she still ran out of the house as quickly as she could.
At the same time, Shirley restored the hut and closed the door silently as if it had never been opened.
Shirley brought Tracy to a remote place and pointed to a dog door. “I have been secretly observing
for a long time. There are people guarding the main gate. The only place to escape is this dog door. When the Robinson family falls asleep at night, grab the chance to leave quickly!”
“No!”
Tracy said arrogantly, “I am not afraid of the Robinson family at all. Since I dared to come here this time, I will not go back easily unless I bring you back, or I will not leave.
“You are such a good daughter–in–law. I will not let Yasmin take advantage of you!”
Tracy never spoke highly of Shirley before. But she was saved by Shirley this time, so she changed
her attitude. Now she liked Shirley very much.
“Stop messing around!”
Shirley was a little resigned. She said, “To tell you the truth, the Robinson family plans to start a
war with the Stewart family, but they never find an excuse. Your sudden appearance provides them
with a good chance. In terms of financial resources, the Stewart family might be better. In terms of
military power, the Stewart family is not a match for the Robinson family!
“If you don’t leave now, you won’t have the chance to leave. You might cause trouble for Braden. Can you be more mature?”
Chapter 163 Nightmare
Tracy was stubborn, but what Shirley said made her hesitate.
Tracy said, “That’s right. My daughter in law is important, but my son is more important. I can’t
cause trouble for my son!”
Shirley said, “Exactly!”
Shirley finally breathed a sigh of relief and pointed at the dog door. “So, go now.”
Tracy took Shirley’s hand and said seriously, “Let’s go together… I’m not a selfish person. I can’t
leave you in danger to secure myself!”
Shirley said, “I am fine here. It’s much better than the Stewart family. The Robinson family won’t
hurt me. But if they know that I escaped with you, it will be hard to explain…”
Tracy felt embarrassed after hearing what Shirley said. “My family has treated you badly. I
apologize to you…
“I used to be so fierce to you. Actually, it’s not because I hate you. I just feel that you and Braden
have no feelings for each other. You won’t be happy together, so I tried to make you give up. I’m not
a bad person…
“I swear. I won’t be fierce to you from now on. I won’t urge you to have a child, and I won’t refer to you as a jinx. You can make up with our Braden and return to the Stewart’s home. Think about it. We will treat you better than the Robinson family do. And I will always support you!”
Under the moonlight, Tracy’s eyes were red. She raised her hand and swore.
It seemed that she had really realized her mistake and wanted to make up for it. Her anxious look
was a bit cute.
Shirley suddenly felt relieved.
To be exact, she didn’t hate Tracy. Shirley could not help but tease, “It’s good to be called a jinx. When people get to know me, they will be surprised to see how good a person I am. I don’t mind it.”
“You are so eccentric. I have apologized to you, but you still don’t want to forgive me.”
Shirley raised her eyebrows. “OK. I will think about it. Go home to wait for my news.”
“Really?”
”
Tracy’s eyes lit up. “If Braden knows, he will be very happy. He is too arrogant. I can’t stand him. He indulged in sorrow after you left him. He won’t be able to get you back without me. He is useless!”
Shirley thought, of course not!
It was just a pretext for letting Tracy leave here
From the bottom of her heart, Shirley knew that her relationship with Braden was over, and there was no possibility of reconciliation!
Finally, Tracy crawled out through the dog door Before she left, she said, “This is the most shameful moment of my life. If not for the big picture, I would have confronted them!”
Shirley held back her laughter and said, “Right. Right. Right. You are so honorable. It’s not embarrassing at all when you pass through the dog door!”
After Tracy went far, Shirley took some straw and other things and firmly blocked the dog door.
“Done!”
Shirley clapped her hands. Then she headed back to sleep.
When she turned around, he saw a tall and handsome man. Shirley was nearly frightened to death.
It was Danny.
“You… You… You… When did you come?”
Danny had worn a black sports suit and a sports headband. He was drenched with sweat and gasping for breath. “I’m just passing by. I run at night… Are you running too?”
“You’re just running?”
Shirley probed carefully.
“What else do you expect me to do?”
Danny frowned and stared at the dog door. He asked, “Why were you sneaking around? What are you doing?”
“No. It’s nothing!”
Shirley thought quickly. Then she said, “I’m here for a walk because this house is so beautiful. And
I suddenly needed to go to the bathroom. So, I”
Alas. For the big picture, I could only embarrass myself.
“I see…”
Danny gave a faint smile. “I should have come earlier. I missed out on something interesting.”
Shirley shouted, “You pervert!”
Shirley felt nervous, so she struck first and said, “If you keep talking nonsense like this, I will buy a plane ticket tomorrow and leave. I will stop playing your girlfriend.”
“Sorry Sorry It’s my fault I won’t do it again. But why are you wearing maid’s clothes? Your
makeup is also strange
“It’s not strange. This is what I look like without makeup. Are you implying that I’m ugly? As for the
clothes, they are in the wardrobe. I think they are beautiful, so I put them on. Are you mocking me for being like a maid?”
“No. I…”
Danny didn’t know what to say.
“Just shut up. I’m sleepy. I’m going to bed now!”
After Shirley finished speaking, she slipped away.
Danny watched the beautiful woman gradually disappear into the night. The smile on his face deepened.
Danny thought, tsk, tsk. She has a really strong heart. She hid her action by shouting at me!
After returning to her room, Shirley changed her clothes and removed her makeup to have a good
sleep.
The bed in the Robinson’s house was really comfortable. It was warm and soft, just like cotton. She
soon fell into a deep sleep.
Perhaps because it was a really sound sleep, Shirley even had a dream.
However, it wasn’t a good dream, but a nightmare that involved Braden.
In her dream, Braden tied her to a bench and kept hitting Shirley with a whip. He threatened her fiercely, “Shirley, you are so bold. How dare you betray me and marry someone else? I order to come back immediately, or I will punish you with all methods!”
you
As Braden lashed, the whip hit the ground. Swoosh! A pot of oil was burning and bubbling. Braden raised a hot and red branding iron and walked to her….
“Ah! No! I’ll come back right away!”
Shirley waved her arms, kicked her legs, and shouted.
“What’s wrong? What’s wrong? Good child. Are you having a nightmare?”
Someone was patting Shirley’s back gently. She patiently comforted Shirley. “It’s alright. It’s alright. Don’t be afraid. It’s alright…
Shirley woke up from her nightmare. She saw Yasmin looking at her gently.
In a trance, Shirley seemed to see her late mother. She directly held Yasmin and said, “Mom, I miss
you so much. Can you and Dad stay with me?”
In front of outsiders, Shirley was a strong woman who was afraid of nothing. It seemed that she could face any difficulties.
But in fact, Shirley was only in her early twenties. She was as beautiful and fragile as a flower.
It was just that Shirley would only show her fragility to people close to her…
“What kind of dream makes you so scared? Poor child!”
Yasmin liked Shirley in the first place. Now that she saw Shirley being so weak and helpless, Yasmin felt worried. She softly coaxed, “It’s alright. It’s alright. No one will dare to bully you from now on. The Robinson family will protect you. We will be your strongest backing!”
Shirley gradually became lucid. She realized that she had lost her composure. Shirley quickly sat upright. “I’m sorry, Mrs. Robinson. Sorry to let you see that.”
While she and Yasmin were chatting, Shirley received a call. The phone kept ringing as if it was urgent.
Chapter 164 The Rules of the Robinson Family
Shirley had a feeling that the call was from Braden. Because the location showed Seatle City.
Shirley wanted to ignore it, but the phone kept ringing. Yasmin was also looking at her with a gentle face, indicating that she should answer it.
To make herself less strange, Shirley could only pretend to be calm and press the “accept” button.
“You finally answered the phone!“,
Braden’s voice was as cold as the one in her nightmare. Shirley shuddered when she heard that. Then she pretended to be dumb. “What? The insurance company? Sorry. I don’t need that. Bye!”
“Shirley, if you hang up, I’ll… You…” Beep! Beep! Beep!
Braden’s roaring was cut off in time.
“Alas. My number must have been sold. I always get calls from insurance and loan companies. It’s
so annoying.”
Shirley calmly explained to Yasmin and blocked the number.
Braden soon called with a new number. And every time Shirley blocked his number, he would call again with a new one. At last, Shirley pretended that she needed to go to the bathroom and called
him back.
“Braden, are you crazy? Why do you keep calling me? We have gotten divorced. Don’t call me!”
Shirley lowered her voice and scolded Braden.
After a few seconds of silence, Braden said coldly, “I have no intention of disturbing you. I just want to ask you if my mother has gone to see you. Is she well now?”
“Mrs. Stewart hasn’t gone home yet?”
Shirley was a little surprised.
She thought, Seatle City isn’t far away from Santho City. Tracy should have arrived in Seatle City. How could she be missing?
Did something happen midway?
“According to you, my mother did go to Santho City to see you. Right?”
Shirley said, “That’s right. She was here, but last night I let her leave. It’s impossible that she hasn’t gotten home yet!”
“Damn it!” Braden cursed in a low voice.
His tone was so cold and distant that Shirley felt a little scared. Braden warned, “I’m going to the Robinson’s house right now. You’d better pray that she’s safe. Otherwise, I won’t let you go, and I won’t let off anyone in the Robinson family!”
“What? You want to come to the Robinson’s house? Are you crazy? You…”
Shirley still wanted to say something, but Braden hung up the phone.
At the same time, Yasmin knocked on the bathroom door and asked with concern, “Shirley, are you alright? Do you need help?”
Shirley put away her phone and walked out. “I’m fine. I just made a call to my housekeeper.”
Shirley was worried and thought, what if Braden really comes to the Robinson’s house? The two
families are bound to fight, and both sides will suffer. No one would benefit from it!
So, I can’t let Braden come here, or… I should prevent Braden from seeing the Robinson family.
Yasmin did not suspect anything. She pulled Shirley out and said warmly, “Today is your first day in
the Robinson’s house. Let’s go to the dining room now. Bruce, Chaz, and Danny have been waiting for you to have breakfast!”
“Waiting for me?”
Shirley looked at the bright sun hanging high in the sky and felt awkward.
She slept until noon, and the Robinson family was waiting for her to eat breakfast. Shirley felt she
didn’t deserve the courtesy!
The dining room was traditionally decorated. On the square wood table were some regular dishes. Bruce, Chaz, and Danny were waiting at the table.
The three men had serious faces and were sitting upright. It was obviously a military family!
“Hi. Shirley is up. We can eat now.”
Yasmin led Shirley to sit down.
“Good morning, Mr. Bruce, Mr. Chaz, Danny.”
Shirley greeted the three of them politely and gave them a perfect smile.
“Shirley, did you sleep well last night?”
Bruce looked at Shirley with a kind expression. The longer Bruce looked at her, the more satisfied
he became.
“Thank you
for
your concern, Mr. Bruce. I had a nice sleep.”
Shirley continued pretending to be well–behaved.
In this aspect, she was especially experienced. After all, that was how Shirley lived during the four years in the Stewart’s house Harmlessness was her feature at that time.
“Did you really sleep well?
Danny held back his laughter and said in a serious tone, “You took a walk in the side courtyard at midnight, didn’t you? You even had the energy to block a dog door. I thought you were unused to the environment and couldn’t sleep!”
Shirley glared at Danny. She wanted to strangle him to death.
Shut up, Kaza! Don’t bring it up. If I didn’t agree to help you, I wouldn’t have needed to do that! You’re ungrateful!
“A dog door?”
Bruce’s gentle gaze immediately turned cold.
His eyes were filled with the ruthlessness of a soldier and made Shirley afraid.
Shirley hurriedly explained, “I was unused to the bed and didn’t fall asleep last night at first. And the moon was very beautiful, so I went out to take a look. I happened to see a hole. And I couldn’t help but block it.”
Bruce nodded and didn’t ask further questions. “Today is your first day here, so you can sleep in.
can’t do that again in the future. The Robinson family has military–style regimentation. We eat and sleep at fixed times every day. This will help to strengthen our willpower!”
But you
“Ah?”
“Shirley, you are the granddaughter of a soldier. These rules are necessary. I believe that Jason will also want me to cultivate you into such a strong–willed person!”
“Um…”
Shirley swallowed. She really wanted to say “I don’t think it’s necessary!”
Jason had taught Shirley military tactics, boxing, gun assembly, bomb–making and disposal, and training soldiers. But he never had such strict requirements in terms of her life. Jason allowed
Shirley to live a free life and had nearly spoiled her.
“OK. Grandpa, it’s our rules, not Shirley’s. We haven’t gotten married yet. Don’t scare her away!”
Danny finally got his conscience back and helped Shirley. “Don’t listen to my grandpa. You can stay up and sleep in as much as you want. I want my wife to be happy and free. You don’t need to follow those rules!”
Yasmin couldn’t agree more. “Right. Right. Right. Shirley and Danny can do whatever they want as long as they will be happy. We should not interfere.”
Bruce still looked serious and wanted to retort. But at this time, a maid ran over and shouted, “Mr. Bruce! Mr. Bruce! Tracy has escaped from the Penance House!”
“She escaped?”
Bruce slammed his fork on the table and asked, “What happened?”
“This morning, I went on duty. And I found that there was no one in the Penance House, and the lock was intact. Tracy has disappeared into thin air!”
Bruce said, “What nonsense are you talking about? Don’t you want me to cut your tongue?” Chaz also asked, “How can a person suddenly disappear? Someone must have released her!” The maid suddenly understood and shouted, “It’s that new maid. It must be that new maid!”
Chapter 165 We Must Fight
“Don’t talk nonsense!”
Yasmin shouted with a stern expression.
The maid tried her best to stay cool. With her head down, she said, “Last night, a maid in a uniform
of a higher level came to me. I didn’t know her, but she said that she was sent to watch over Tracy. I
took her there and then left… This morning, I found that both Tracy and that maid were gone.
Therefore, I believe that it is that maid who released Tracy!”
“How dare!”
Bruce was furious. Feeling that the authority of the Robinson family was challenged, Bruce said fiercely, “Who was so reckless to sneak into my house and mess about? The culprit looks down upon me!
“Start the investigation now. Find the culprit, and break both his hands and feet. Then, he will know
that nobody can challenge the bottom line of the Robinson family!”
Chaz nodded. He said to the soldiers stationed around, “What are you waiting for? Immediately lead your teams to block the city off and start the investigation. We must find this fugitive who dares to go against the Robinson family!”
Shirley buried her head all the time and held her breath in fear the maid would recognize her.
Watching rows of well–trained soldiers drive the armored vehicles away, Shirley swallowed her
saliva with fear.
Shirley thought, oh my, are they serious? Do they have to do so?
Would they break my hands and feet if they found out that I set Tracy free?
It was reasonable for Shirley to feel astonished because the Robinson family was always freakish.
The Robinson family loved to use coercion, dictatorship, and torture to enhance their authority in
the city and even the whole world.
“Let’s have breakfast first. Don’t spoil Shirley’s appetite.”
Yasmin reminded Bruce and Chaz, both of whom were furious.
The crowd began to have breakfast after they stood up and sang a military song loudly.
Shirley felt that life here was torture. She thought, no wonder Kaza fled away to be a hacker. This atmosphere is too depressing. I would run away too if I was in his place!
After breakfast, I should confess, ask for forgiveness, and then leave this place as soon as possible!
The maid who had humbly kept her head down raised her head carefully. She mustered up her courage and shouted after scrutinizing Shirley, “She! The maid last night! It is she who released Tracy!”
Everyone looked at Shirley in shock.
Pointing at Shirley, the maid continued, “The light was dim last night, and she had a good disguise. However, I know that she was the maid last night. She has a mole under her left eye like that maid!”
Shirley lowered her head awkwardly and thought, oh no! I forgot to hide the mole under my last night. I thought nobody would notice such a small thing.
The Robinson family is awesome. Even a humble maid is observant.
“Shirley, do you have anything to say?”
left eye
Yasmin gently patted Shirley on the shoulder and said, “Don’t be afraid. Admit it if you did set Tracy free. We won’t make things difficult for you. If you were innocent, the maid who slandered you would be at your mercy.”
“L..”
Shirley took a deep breath and thought, why don’t I confess now?
Danny had been indifferent all the time.
Right then, he said, “Enough! Stop the nonsense. It is I who let Tracy go.”
“Brat, what nonsense are you talking about?”
Yasmin glared at Danny.
Are you tired of living? Given my understanding of Bruce, he will mercilessly punish the traitor no matter who he is, Yasmin thought.
Danny said casually, “I am not talking nonsense. I did set Tracy free. Look, your password is complicated, and only the Robinson family knows it. Shirley is a babe in the woods. Even if she wanted to do so, she couldn’t crack the password, could she?”
Speaking, Danny deliberately looked at Shirley with a faint smile on his face.
“Haha!”
Shirley dodged the inquisitive gaze from others and laughed awkwardly.
I’m grateful to Danny for taking the blame, but… I don’t like his attitude! Shirley thought.
Danny continued, “I think we have gone too far. We took Shirley away from Braden and locked his mother up…
“We know that the Stewart family is strong. No doubt we have an army However, the Stewart
family is rich. If we push them too far, they may hire a suicide squad to beat us up… We should be a bit restrained, so there may be peace between us in the future!”
“Right‘ Great!”
Shirley couldn’t help but stand up and applaud Danny.
Shirley thought, Danny spoke my mind.
The Robinson family is in a state of arrogance, and only Danny, who has seen the world, is
clear–headed.
With a frown, Bruce glared at Danny. “Brat, you shake our confidence to help the opposition. Based on what you said, we dread the Stewart family?
“The Robinson family and the Stewart family should have fought a long time ago. It didn’t happen
because Shirley was a member of the Stewart family back then. I didn’t want to hurt her. Now
Shirley has nothing to do with the Stewart family, so I have nothing to worry about. Just fight to the
death!”
Hearing Bruce, Shirley felt numb with shock.
Shirley thought, as expected, Bruce is a militant. Back then, he fell out with his two buddies
because they differed about the management of the army and paid a bitter price for the argument.
Bruce has never seen his old friends again after the split.
In comparison, Grandpa and Mr. Stewart are dovish. They won’t fight unless it is necessary.
Therefore, they left the army and achieved something great in the dangerous and complicated
business world.
Well, not everyone who is militant is evil. They just love to solve problems with force and rules.
They believe that order is everything.
In other words, Bruce seems benign but will be ruthless if I cross his bottom line!
Nobody can challenge his authority!
I can’t piss him off again! Or, I will get myself in trouble.
Moreover, I can’t let Braden and Bruce see each other, or I will get implicated.
In a dilemma, Shirley made a decision.
“Fight! We must fight!”
Shirley raised her hand and became excited. Her attitude changed abruptly.
