When she unveils identities

Chapter 40

Chapter 40 Possessiveness Was Not Love

Shirley left the bar and waited for the car

The night breeze was slightly cool, brushing against her cheeks. She felt comfy.

She was dressed in a white dress, with waterfall–like hair fluttering slightly in the wind. She was

attractive

Many men stopped their cars, honked or whistled at her, and tried to take her for a ride But they were

all scared away by her fierce eyes.

Another car came. The window slowly rolled down. It was Braden.

Her eyes were cold as if she didn’t know him at all.

“Need a ride?”

He invited.

“No! We don’t go to the same place.”

She refused.

He was speechless.

They lived in the same house!

She didn’t even try to hide her hatred.

Braden didn’t understand.

She must be pretending

Thinking of this, he felt inexplicably happy.

Even though she embarrassed him in public just now, he didn’t think it was a big deal.

He tilted his head slightly and invited again, “Get in the car. Let’s talk about Blosso Law Office”

“Unnecessary.”

Shirley pursed his lips, “I think I can handle it. At least better than you.

Braden’s voice got cold, “Do you think everything will be fine if you can handle Jim? The real problem is

not him.“

Shirley knew he was referring to Eliza, who hadn’t met her yet.

She was the real backbone of the Blosso Law Office.

If she couldn’t handle Eliza, she couldn’t really have Blosso

Braden’s cold eyes were as sharp as a falcon. He stared at her face

He saw her doubts and retreated, so he generously gave her a chance to choose again.

*The divorce agreement hasn’t taken effect yet. If you regret it, get in the car and talk to me about

property division again. As long as it’s not too much, I will agree. You don’t have to use your uncle

as a cover anymore

Braden thought he was a generous ex husband

Shirley raised her thin eyebrows lightly and curled her lips into a chuckle, “Thank you. But please rest

assured, from the moment I agreed to divorce you, every decision I made and every word I said, was

sincere. I will never regret it.

Her broken heart would not be healed as he said some nice words

Braden narrowed his eyes slightly, wondering if she really meant it

A silver supercar drove over from behind.

“My car is here

She walked away and said, “By the way, please don’t be late for the divorce next week.”

Inside the silver sports car, Ewan was driving cautiously. He didn’t want to have any accident to hurt

Shirley and her babies.

“You go to a bar when you are pregnant. Cool!”

“I only had juice

Shirley propped her head and looked out the window absent–mindedly

Ewan noticed it

He joked, “You guys haven’t officially received a divorce certificate yet. Why don’t you tell him about

your pregnancy*

“I could see that he still cares about you. He has possessiveness”

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so angry to see her getting into his car

As long as a man was still possessive of a woman, their story would not be over

“Besides, you risked your life to save him.

”

Ewan added

“Stop!”

Shirley interrupted him, “Why should I let him choose? What good will it do for me to go back?”

“I’m tired of being a housewife. I’m not a masochist!”

Besides, possessiveness was not love

“That’s right!

Ewan was instantly relieved, “I’m glad you have finally recovered from loving him!”

“However, children always need a father I can play a role here”

His eyes were sparkling, cynical, yet affectionate. He was charming

Shirley glanced at him, “Are you sure?”

Ewan was threatened, “Okay, Okay. I’m the uncle!”

He was a master of romantic affairs. But he had nothing to do with her

However, he knew he was special to her

They shared a secret. Even Braden didn’t know it

“Let’s not talk about those messes. How are the things Lasked you to do?”

Shirley asked.

“I’ve already made an appointment for you. At ten o’clock tomorrow morning at Cloud Valley.”

Shirley nodded, “Okay, I will go alone tomorrow.

“That can’t be done. You are pregnant, and I have to accompany you. Besides, that person is not easy

to deal with. He is Braden’s friend. What if he makes it difficult for you?”

Ever since Ewan knew that Shirley was pregnant with twins, he wished he could be by her side 24/7

But Shirley was firm, “I can handle this.”

“That’s true.”

Ewan suddenly figured it out.

Shirley was a leopard with sharp claws. She didn’t need anyone’s protection.

‘Be cautious tomorrow. I’ll wait for your triumphant return.”

Chapter 41 Small Body with Big Appetite

The next day

tsir eit

it

In a base reisial with her hair neatly end up a ponytail Shirley went wrought as Cond Vallory lendking

New young & forth out of college

Clent Valley was a good lovers orated more than 50 kilometers away from Searle Cry

Covered by dense vegetation was full of negative oxygen ons and boasted nature ter springs, got

course and nature fishing ponds. It was katso es the best balletey resort fise many rich

Due to the traffic yem when Shirley arned there it was exactly one past ten, just one minute inte

As the same time man surrounded by a large group of flattering people was walking out of Cloud

Vallery

He was Jack Burman, the chairman of the Burman Group with whom Shirley had made an

expointment

Burman Group had powerful strength and a strong background. As one of the largest investment

compenses in Searle City, it had been a loyal partner of Stewart Group for many years.

Since the client data leakage crisis of Stewart Group had caused a lot of losses to Burman Group, the

lætter had terminated their cooperation contract and was now looking for a new partne

Shirley walked up quickly and stood right in front of that group of tail and burly men. She said a perfect

smile on her pretty face, neither humble nor pushy, Mr Burman, I am Shirley Wilson, and I have heard a

lot about you. Shall we have a minute?

Although she looked slender and delicate, she presented a powerful aura. For a girl speaking with such

a strong tone, almost everyone couldn’t bring themselves to decline her

But Jack Burman was not everyone.

After Burman Group terminated its contract with Stewart Group, he had been like a piece of walking

cake that everyone wanted to have a bite of. So for the countless people who came up to him wanting

to “chat” with him, like Shirley, he didn’t want to pay any attention to them at all.

“Shirley Wilson, I know you, the daughter of the failed Wilson family and dignified daughter in–law of

the Stewart family

Jack checked her out from head to toe with a complicated look and sneered, “Braden really

panicked. Any port in a storm, huh? In order to make me change my mind, he even sacrifices his wife I

guess no one is crueler than him.”

Shirley thought that Jack must have misunderstood, so she explained calmly. “It has nothing to do

with Braden nor the Stewart Group. I came here just for myself and Korita Group ‘

“So, you are the mysterious person for whom Ewan keeps pestering me all the time?”

Jack slightly raised his eyebrows, showing a little more interest in her

He vaguely remembered meeting her at a family party two years ago.

At that time, she had just been an eye candy standing next to Braden, silent, dignified, and not

appreciated by Braden. She hadn’t left many impressions on him.

But now she was totally different!

In the distance, a shuttle of the Four Seasons Golf Course was driving over

Jack said to Shirley, “I am very curious about you, but you were late. I don’t like unpunctual people, so

you can go back now.”

Shirley had expected his refusal.

She knew that Jack was not easy to deal with, otherwise Ewan would have nailed him long ago and

she wouldn’t have to do it herself.

“I’m sorry for keeping you waiting for a minute. Here is a small gift as my apology.”

After she finished speaking, she took out a kraft paper bag from her bag and handed it to Jack

Everyone around was very disdainful.

After all, Jack was a big ass and had been sent many rare treasures, so how would he take a fancy to

her gift in such a worthless kraft paper bag?

Jack’s assistant even stopped her directly and said coldly, “I’m sorry. Mr. Burman never accepts

random gifts from others. Miss Wilson, please behave yourself.

But when Jack saw the writing on the kraft paper bag, his suddenly changed his expression, “This

“Give it to me!”

Jack eagerly snatched the paper bag and took out the documents inside to read. His fingers were

trembling because he was too excited.

it was a freshly released court verdict in favor of him.

Except for Shirley, no one present knew how significant this verdict was to him.

After a long while, Jack finally looked away from the verdict.

He looked at Shirley, with tears that were almost invisible in his shrewd eyes, and said, “Come with

me!”

Then, amid the unbelievable expressions of everyone, Shirley successfully got the opportunity to have

a private talk with the chairman of Burman Group.

In the fancy private lounge, Jack was very excited.

“I won! After five years, I finally won the lawsuit… I have been waiting for this moment for so long!”

He read the content of the verdict again and again and still couldn’t believe it.

Jack at this moment reminded Shirley of her deceased father, so she said with emotion, “Justice will

never be absent. Mr. Burman, your love for your daughter is as great as a mountain. I believe Miss

Bosson’s spirit in heaven will be gratified.”

Jack suddenly stared at Shirley very vigilantly and asked in a deep voice, “How did you And how did

you manage to overturn the case that had already been concluded?”

know this?

“Well, I admire you so much and want to become your most trusted partner, so I spent some time

getting to know more about you.

Shirley said calmly, “Everyone knows that you have a daughter named Susan Burman and you love her

very much, but few know… you also have a daughter named Abby Bosson in the distant North

City”

“Miss Bosson was two years older than Miss Burman and was better than her in terms of whether

appearance, character, or talent. But because she was an illegitimate child, she had a distinct fate from

Miss Burman.

Hearing Shirley’s words, Jack got lost in his memories, and a trace of gentleness and sadness started

to appear on his serious face

“Yeah, Abby was much better than Susan, and she was also more thoughtful. If she had not been so

thoughtful and afraid of getting me into trouble, she wouldn’t..

At this point, Jack couldn’t go on talking anymore, and his expression was very painful.

Shirley looked at him silently and didn’t say anything

No matter how unfairly he had treated his illegitimate daughter in the past, at least now he really

regretted what he had done and missed her very much.

This was the deepest love of a father for his deceased daughter!

Jack took a deep breath to calm himself down and put the verdict into the kraft paper bag properly.

“You must have spent a lot of effort to get the judge to overturn the unjust case of five years ago.

Although it was a bit late, it eventually cleared my daughter’s name

Jack looked at Shirley with admiration and gratitude. He didn’t bother to beat around the bush and said

straightforwardly, “I really appreciate your gift. Let’s be frank. What do you want?”

Shirley smiled lightly, took out the prepared contract and a signing pen, and handed them to him, “Mr.

Burman, I’ve said I want to become your most trusted partner And I also want that in the next five

years, Burman Group will become the largest investor and distributor of our Korita Group.”

“The largest investor and distributor in the next five years?”

Jack was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled, “Young lady, you have a small body with a big

appetite, don’t you? In the whole Seatle City, no one except for Stewart Group is qualified to say it.”

Shirley said, “Five years later, Korita Group will be more qualified than Stewart Group.”

“Oh?”

Jack raised his eyebrows slightly.

These words were very arrogant, but he didn’t find them abrupt when they were said by this young

lady.

“It’s interesting to see Braden Stewart’s wife standing for Korita Group.”

Seeing the dawn of success, Shirley gave another boost, “So Mr. Burman, would you like to make a bet

and cooperate with Korita Group:

Right at this moment, the voice of a spoiled girl came from outside, “Get out of my way. I’m going int”

Chapter 42 A Spoiled Princess

The next second, a beautiful figure had already barged in

“Daddy, I heard that you were seduced by a roquette Let me see who is the coquettish womani

shamelessly following you all the to Cloud Valley!”

Stepping on her black high heeled boots and carrying a limited edition handbag, Susan yelled

domineeringly with her eyebrows knitted, completely like a spoiled princess

She saw Shirley sitting across from Jack at a glance and was slightly surprised

“It’s you. keeping yourself upon Braden for four years even though he has rejected you”

Susan gritted her teeth and looked at Shirley with contempt, jealousy, and hostility

Shirley smiled faintly and stretched out her hand to Susan gracefully, “Hello, Miss Burman, I’m honored

that you still remember me

She had dealt with Susan before, the biggest fangirl of Braden, who took advantage of her father’s

indulgence and did whatever she liked

For this kind of person, she normally kept herself as far away from them as possible

But this time, it seemed that she couldn’t get away.

Susan gave no quarter to Shirley and scolded, “You shameless slut, how dare you betray Braden and

seduce my father? I will call Braden right now and tell him you cheated on him!”

“Susan, don’t mess around!”

Jack frowned and looked at his precious daughter seriously, which was very rare for Susan, “Miss

Wilson is here to talk business with me. You go and wait for me outside

“What kind of business can a housewife talk with you? Are you really seduced by her? How can you

betray my deceased mom?”

Susan stomped her feet and made a fuss, “Woo, I knew it. You don’t love my mom at all, and you don’t

love me at all. I’m dropping you as my father from now on!”

‘Susan, here you go again.

Jack sighed, feeling very helpless.

The more arrogant and wilful Susan was, the more he missed his deceased eldest daughter Abby, and

the more he felt sorry for Abby.

Feeling ashamed, he said to Shirley, “Miss Wilson, I will carefully consider the cooperation with Korita

Group. If it’s convenient for you, can we have the room?”

“Sure. Mr. Burman, I’ll be waiting for your reply.”

Shirley nodded and left the lounge readily.

As she was walking out, she cast a sympathetic glance at Jack.

At the same time, from the bottom of her heart, she also felt Abby’s death wasn’t worth it.

That silly girl sacrificed her life and reputation for the dignity of the Burman family, and such an

annoying girl as Susan turned out to be the biggest beneficiary. What a loss!

Shirley did not leave Cloud Valley but waited in the cafe outside the lounge.

As long as Jack didn’t sign the contract, he could change his mind anytime, so she couldn’t just leave

She kept waiting for almost a whole day until the sun went down.

Shirley couldn’t wait anymore and decided to return to the lounge and talk to Jack again.

At this moment, Susan walked out, crossing her arms, and looked at Shirley with an arrogant face,

“You don’t need to wait anymore. My dad has already left through the VIP passage, and he has

promised me he will never see you again!”

“Oh? Let your father tell me personally.

As soon as Shirley finished speaking, she had already nimbly passed Susan and got to the lounge

behind her

Sure enough, no one was there

Damn it! Jack would literally do anything for Susan!

“I read the contract. As Braden’s wife, how dare you seek investment for another man? I feel really sad

for Braden!”

Susan seemed to be taking up the cudgels for Braden, but happiness and slyness appeared on her

arrogant face, “But I can do you a favor.

In Boelus Restaurant.

One of the best fancy restaurants in Seatle City, and the first choice of many business people to

socialize and entertain.

At this moment, in Resford Hall, the one with the highest standard in the restaurant, Braden wa sitting

at the main table as the absolute key figure, being flattered by everyone around.

“Across the entire Seatle City, Mr Stewart is definitely the most powerful man, leading Stewart Group to

new heights, head and shoulders above all of us!”

Toasts after toasts with endless flattery, anyone who heard these words would feel like walking on

air

But Braden remained unmoved, with an indifferent expression under his cold eyes. His noble aura

made him stand out clearly from these worldly and bourgeois businessmen.

At this time, a young man said cautiously, “Although Mr. Stewart is powerful, there are also many rising

stars recently. Take Ewan Parker, the son of Steve Parker as an example. The Korita Group is now

getting a strong momentum under his management!

His words were particularly abrupt among the flattery. It could almost be called heresy and was

ridiculed by other people.

The others said, “You know nothing! Mr. Parker is just a playboy and can do nothing but chase girls all

day long. How can he be compared with Mr. Stewart?”

Braden frowned slightly and finally opened his mouth, “Korita Group?”

The young man hurriedly said, “Right, Mr. Stewart. My family makes venture investments, and I have

researched this company.

“Although Korita Group was established not long ago with a limited scale, it is growing rapidly, definitely

not a shell company for playboys to chase girls as everyone thinks. It has a very promising future!”

As the others were about to refute him again, Braden said coldly, “Go ahead.”

The young man continued, “That it has a promising future is definitely not groundless. Do you know

their cooperation partners are all those clients who terminated their contracts with Stewart Group some

time ago!”

The last sentence was like thunder, making many crafty businessmen interested in this new

company

With a cold expression on his handsome face, Braden was lost in thought.

Liam had told him about this company before, but he didn’t take it seriously.

To be more precise, he didn’t take the brat Ewan seriously.

But now, this brat not only stole his wife but also poached his clients, which really impressed him!

The young man cast a glance at Braden and said cautiously, “Besides, there is something I don’t know

whether I should say or not…

Braden said coldly, “Say it.”

“This morning, Mrs. Stewart suddenly went to Cloud Valley to meet the chairman of Burman Group. We

all thought she went there for Stewart Group…

“But it turned out that she sent Mr. Burman a precious gift on behalf of Korita Group. Mr. Burman was

very pleased, and it is said that he is planning to cooperate with Korita Group!”

These words surprised everyone again.

Braden Stewart’s wife went to intercede for Ewan’s company. This…was so embarrassing!

Someone braced himself up to break the ice, “Nonsense! There must be some misunderstanding. Mr.

Stewart is known for her dignity. How would she do it…”

Shaking the red wine glass slightly with his long fingers, Braden did not show much emotion on his

handsome and cold face.

“It doesn’t matter. Whatever she likes.”

He said indifferently.

At the same time, the young man took out his mobile phone and typed out a line of words, “I have told

him every word you said. You can come in now!”

Chapter 41 Faithlessness

About ten minutes later a waitres les ran to Heaford Hall

“Braden, I finally met you You can’t avoid me this time!

She came to Braden’s left side, and the person sitting on firader’s left was observant and gave away

quickly

Everyone in alle city knew the intended heir of Hurman Group, Susan, who was spoiled by Jack, was

crazy alan Braden

hurman tarmup and Stewart farop were strategic partners who had cooperated for many years

“As the two were about the same age and their families were well matched, their marriage seemed

tube avertainly”

However, no one would expect Shirley to show up

“Braden, haven’t seen you for so long You took more handsome You don’t know how much I miss you

even dream of you”

As soon as Susan came in, her eyes locked on Braden She hooked his arm and said coyly, “Why are

you so cold hearted! We grew up together When you get married, you’re not spending time with me

anymore What a friend are you?”

Braden wore a straight face is sharpeyes swept across the banquet, and he asked in a sulking tone.

“This is a private dinner Who told her

Everyone bowed their heads and remained silent

Susan felt very humiliated, and her cheeks flushed with anger “Braden, what do you mean? I’m not a

monster. Why are you always avoiding me

When she said this, her arrogant brows showed a gloating smile She said, “You’re a decent married

man while your prudish wife is not an honest woman If she didn’t admit it today, I wouldn’t know she

was such an open woman. That’s so unbelievable I really feel sorry for you!”

Braden said in a deep voice. “What did she ad

“Well”

Susan looked at the crowd in embarrassment.

Everyone was also very proactive and left the room,

After a while, only Braden and Susan were left in the box

Susan was very excited she had been waiting for this moment for so long. She couldn’t wait to

throw herself at him “Braden, Ican finally stay with you alone. I

Braden’s voice was indifferent, full of impatience

It was not because he deliberately targeted Susan His instinct made him loathe to get close to women,

especially since he didn’t like women to touch him.

And Susan was clingy and restless which annoyed him very much

Susan was so mad but she tried her best to calm down.

Because she believed Braden’s attitude towards her would change soon.

“Braden, I have a video. After watching it, you will understand everything”

Susan took out her phone and opened the video she had recorded.

Braden saw Shirley in this video.

He stared at the phone and his eyes became colder

Shirley said in the video in a stressful tone, “As long as you can persuade your father to sign at contract

with Korita Group, I’ll divorce Braden and never see him again.

Susan carefully observed Braden’s reaction. She tried to let things get heated. “Alas, I don’t know what

Miss Wilson was thinking I just said I would help her while I didn’t expect she would really agree to

shoot this video. She’s not afraid to upset you at all. It seems she really has a deep affection for Mr.

Parker and would like to do anything for him!

Braden was indifferent and didn’t speak. He didn’t show any emotion in his deep eyes and was still

staring at the phone.

Susan continued, “However, Miss Wilson is really stupid. It’s just a lie. I like you so much. Even if I go

to persuade my dad, I will persuade him to continue to cooperate with Stewart Group. How could I let

her have her cake”

“Besides, I really can’t see her being faithless to you, so I teach her a hard lesson. I guess she must be

very regretful now!”

Braden’s eyes turned cold. He said in a harsh voice, “What did you do to her?”

At Cloud Valley.

This virgin forest with dense vegetation was a natural oxygen bar for the rich to take vacations during

the day, but it was a dangerous place at night. All birds and animals came out, making the

forest especially creepy.

In the center of the forest, there was a small underground room surrounded by thorns and seldom

visited. At this moment, it was emitting a faint blue light that looked like the ghost light in the dark.

Shirley sat at the pit. The humid air smelled musty, and there were mice and cockroaches occasionally

crawling past her Her face was expressionless and she remained calm all the time.

Susan thought tricking her into this abri and locking her up would be a punishment for her

What she didn’t know was that Shirley’s grandfather had taught her survival skills in the wild when she

was very young. This environment must be a nightmare for ordinary people, but she was not scared at

all.

In fact, Shirley had a hundred ways to escape, but she didn’t.

She also made herself in a mess on purpose as if she was about to die anytime.

Shirley rubbed the ground with a stone to create a fire. With the light, she wrote hard on the wall

with the stone

“Ten, nine, eight, seven.

She counted down in her mind.

According to the plan, Ewan should have brought Jack’s people over here to rescue her

Shirley was afraid she didn’t look miserable enough, so she quickly ruffled her hair, grabbed a handful

of ashes on the ground, and wiped it on her cheeks.

Sure enough, she soon heard the sound of the off road vehicle driving at high speed, getting closer and

closer to her.

She quickly extinguished the fire and pretended to be dying on the ground.

In the quiet and dark night, the iron door was forcefully pried open.

By the moonlight, Shirley saw a tall figure jumping down from above.

She cleared her throat and was about to call for help in a pitiful tone.

The next second, she heard a voice that was totally unexpected to her.

“Shirley, how are you?”

The cold voice with a bit of tension sounded very clear in the dark but also very unreal.

Braden?!

How could it be him!

“L.”

Shirley was dumbfounded.

Why did he come here in the middle of the night? How would she continue to act with his interruption?

Braden tightly held Shirley’s slender shoulders and carefully checked her up and down under the hazy

moonlight. After making sure she was not injured, his brows eased a little

“Susan went too far I won’t spare her!”

His stern face looked so perfect under the moonlight, which made Shirley a little obsessed and was

about to be bewitched.

She shook her head quickly, trying to keep herself sober

‘Mr. Stewart. I’m fine. Ewan will come to help me later. You can go back now. Don’t worry

me.”

about

Shirley distanced herself from Braden and said politely.

After all, it was not suitable for them to stay alone in the same space as they were about to divorce.

What was most important, Ewan would bring Jack’s people to rescue her later so that her setup could

run smoothly.

If Braden kept staying here or took her away, her plan would fail and cause bigger trouble!

“It’s him again.

Braden’s face became gloomy and freezing. He held her face and gazed at her as if he could see

through her

“Tell me. What exactly does he have to make you so obsessed with him?”

Shirley was frightened by his serious face. She pretended to be loveable with a smirk on his face.

“Well. Maybe it’s because he’s more handsome, and he’s my type

She fabricated an excuse casually and wanted to get Braden away quickly. “So you really need to

leave. Since we’re going to divorce, give someone else a chance!”

Braden wore a livid face and had the urge to rip her off.

What did she mean Ewan was handsome?

In Seatle City, Braden was recognized as the most handsome person while Ewan’s face looked like

plastic face How could they be mentioned in the same breath?

“Shut up!”

Braden didn’t want to talk more and was about to pick Shirley up and take her

When Shirley was about to resist, she was aware of something dangerous coming. She froze

immediately and reminded Braden in a low voice, “Be careful Braden, don’t move!”

Chapter 44 I Found You Are Crazy!

Braden thought Shirley was playing tricks again and didn’t take her words seriously at all.

Then he suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his ankle

When he looked down, he saw a black snake standing on its neck and spitting out bright red snake

letters, aiming at him aggressively

“Damn it!”

Braden frowned and could clearly feel the muscles around his ankle gradually becoming numb, making

him almost unable to keep his feet

He quickly pulled Shirley behind him and said calmly. “I will lead it away. Choose your moment and

leave quickly!”

“Did you get bitten by it?

Shirley clenched her fists and said in a tense voice, “This snake has a silver ring on its neck. It must be

very poisonous as it lives in this humid place all year round. Don’t move anymore, so as not to spread

the venom!

‘Shut up if you want to live!”

Braden got a headache from the noise.

In his opinion, the woman’s noise was useless except to irritate the cold–blooded animal in front of

him.

He had no experience in dealing with snakes. As the situation was urgent and the snake was likely to

attack them again, he could only bite the bullet!

Braden carefully took out his phone and turned slightly sideways. He said to Shirley who wi standing

behind him, “Get ready. When I count to three, you run out!

Shirley let out a deep sigh, feeling a little helpless. “Come on. Don’t worry about it. It will leave

soon.”

Based on her experience, this snake was not aggressive and had limited eyesight. It could only

perceive fast–moving objects, so the safest way was to stay still.

When the snake confirmed they were not threatening, it would slide away.

But obviously Braden had his own unique opinion and he would not believe her statement.

“One, two, three. Run!”

When Braden counted to three, he turned on the flashlight of his phone and shook it in front of the

snake, trying to divert the snake’s attention and buy a chance for Shirley to escape.

Shirley slapped her forehead helplessly. “It’s over. We’re screwed!”

The black snake was enraged instantly. It followed the direction of the light and stretched out its neck,

desperately trying to bite them

“Hey, stand back!”

At this critical moment, Shirley didn’t have time to care about anything else. She grabbed his arm and

pulled him aside

With a silver light flashing across suddenly, a silver dart directly pierced the snake’s neck. The snake

was cut into two pieces and died!

Everything happened so fast that Braden didn’t see it clearly. He just felt his head getting dizzy and his

vision getting blurred.

Shirley walked forward calmly and put the snake into a bag to extract the snake’s serum.

She turned back to Braden and said, “You are poisoned. We have to go to the hospital immediately!”

Braden didn’t respond. His tall figure wobbled towards Shirley and his deep eyes locked tightly on

her

Shirley felt his eyes weird, so she kindly asked, “Can you still walk? Do you need me to help you?”

“Yes!”

Braden’s voice was magnetic and mellow like a mountain firmly trapped her between himself and the

wall

He forcefully raised Shirley’s chin with a strong possessive desire in his eyes. “You are my wife. Of

course I need you!”

“Braden, what’s wrong with you? What do you want?

Shirley pressed her back against the wall and was afraid to move

Braden was very abnormal!

She suddenly remembered the coral snake’s venom not only attacked people’s hearts and lungs but

also had aphrodisiac and hallucinogenic effects.

The more emotional the bitten person was, the more severe the toxicity would be!

“You’re a pretty woman, but your eyes are blind. That guy is just a few years younger than me. How

can he be better than me?”

Braden had totally lost control under the effect of the venom.

He stroked her red lips with his fingers as if he was ravaging rose petals. Then he kissed her under the

urge of desire

His lips were extremely hot like volcanic rocks.

Shirley’s brain went blank as if she was bounded, allowing him to suppress her

This wasn’t the first time he had kissed her, but it was the first time he had kissed her so passionately. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

She was also immersed in it and subconsciously opened her mouth to respond to him.

When they reached a rousing climax, Shirley opened her eyes and secretly watched his expression

when he kissed her

With his eyes closed, his long eyelashes were slightly curled and his stern facial features were

specially carved by the creator

His deep brows, Roman nose, perfect jawline, and thin and sexy lips. He was killing her!

Four years ago, she was captured by such a handsome face.

Four years later, she still couldn’t resist it!

In the darkness, someone coughed awkwardly

“Shirley, have you almost finished? John and I have been waiting for a long time.”

With a little disappointment, Ewan reminded softly.

“Damn it!”

Shirley was too flustered and pushed Braden away.

As Braden was too emotional, the venom spread quickly. He was out of consciousness and fell heavily

to the ground.

“Mr. Stewart!”

Seeing this, John seemed to feel the world crushing down and hurried forward to help.

Braden was the president of Stewart Group. If something happened to him because of Susan’s

reckless manner, John was afraid the whole Burman family would get in big trouble!

“He’s poisoned by a snake. Send him to the hospital immediately!”

Shirley had no time to care about the plan in front of John. She only wanted Braden to be safe.

At the hospital.

With the timely rescue and the snake serum, Braden’s life was out of danger, although he was still

“Thankfully, he is still alive!”

Shirley heaved a sigh of relief Her slender body slut down the corridor wall

With his hands in his pockets, Ewan watched her silently He was wearing a gloomy face now and

finally couldn’t hear it anymore

“Shurley, don’t you think you should worry more about yourself! Not your prospective

ex husband”

Shirley said rationally in indifference, “Don’t worry know what I’m doing I just care about his life

because he saved me and I don’t want to owe him favors”

Even if Braden was bitten because he irritated the snake, his original intention was to help her

“You’re still denying it

Ewan sighed and said straight to the point, “You kissed him so affectionately. Is it because you wanted

to repay him?”

“And Hound you are very crazy Braden was poisoned and you still kissed him so fiercely I don’t know

which of you is the crazy one now!”

“Brat, are you trying to get tossed!”

Shirley’s cheeks blushed immediately, and she slapped Ewan hard

In her mind, she was still recalling the scene of her kissing Braden just now.

She did seem to be a bit crazy as if she was hit by luck and wanted to make the utmost of the chance

Ewan restrained his ridicule and looked at Shirley seriously. He said softly with affectionate eyes, “I can

see that you haven’t let him go completely Have you ever considered telling him your little secret and

listening to his thoughts?”

“What nonsense are you talking about!”

Shirley glared at Ewan. “Braden and Lare over. The reason for that part was because I was bewitched

by his beauty I will try my best to control myself and never make such mistakes again.”

“Try your best?”

Ewan raised has eyebrows playfully

Her implication was she might still kiss Braden in the future

Ewan knew Shirley very well

So he didn’t bother to expose her mind.

At this time, at the end of the corridor, a group of people walked towards them .
