When She Unveils Identities By Zaylee CortéZ 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 feltfy.


    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 al


    l 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 ce.”


    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 prop


    erty 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 a


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


    cere. 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 bete for the divorce next week.”


    Inside the silver sports car, Ewan was driving cautiously. He didn’t


    want to have any ident 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 p


    regnancy*


    “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 d you have finally recovered from loving him!”


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


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


    Shirley nced 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 apany you. Besides, that person is not easy t


    o 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 ws. 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 N


    ew 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 r


    esort 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 arge group of ttering 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 thergest investmentpenses 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 l?tter had terminated their cooperation contract and was now looking f


    or 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 abou


    t 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 ca


    ke 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 aplicated 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 exined 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 appreci


    ated 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 werete. 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 sh


    e 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 epts rando


    m 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 trem


    bling 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 sessfully got the opportunity to have a private talk with the chairm


    an of Burman Group.


    In the fancy private lounge, Jack was very excited.


    “I won! After five years, I finally won thewsuit… 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 ne


    ver be absent. Mr. Burman, your love for your daughter is as great as a mountain. I believe Miss Bosso


    n’s spirit in heaven will be gratified.”


    Jack suddenly stared


    at Shirley very vigntly 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 be your most trusted partner, so I spent some time gettin


    g 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 appe


    arance, 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 t


    o 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..


    甲


    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 regrett


    ed 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


    te, 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. B


    urman, I’ve


    said I want to be your most trusted partner And I also want that in the next five years, Burman Gro


    up will be thergest investor and distributor of our Korita Group.”


    “Thergest investor and distributor in the next five years?”


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


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


    Shirley said, “Five yearster, 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


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


    Seeing the dawn of sess, 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 ck high heeled boots and carrying a limited edition handbag, Susan yelled dominee


    ringly with her eyebrows knitted,pletely like a spoiled princess


    She saw Shirley sitting across from Jack at a nce 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 indu


    lgence 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.


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    Susan gave no quarter to Shirley


    and scolded, “You shameless slut, how dare you betray Braden and seduce my father? I will call Brade


    n 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 Wils


    on 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 bet


    ray 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 nce 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 annoyin


    g 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, “Yo


    u 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 arr


    ogant 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 a


    t the main table as the absolute key figure, being ttered 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 ttery, 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 mad


    e 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 gett


    ing a strong momentum under his management!


    His words were particrly abrupt among the ttery. It could almost be called heresy and was ridicule


    d by other people.


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


    day long. How can he bepared 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 re


    searched thispany.


    “Although Korita Group was established not long ago with a


    limited scale, it is growing rapidly, definitely not a shellpany for yboys 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 thei


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


    e ago!”


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


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


    Liam had told him about thispany 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 nce 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 v


    ery pleased, and it is said that he is nning to cooperate with Korita Group!”


    These words surprised everyone again.


    Braden Stewart’s wife went to intercede for Ewan’spany. 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 ss slightly with his long fingers, Braden did not show much emotion on his han


    dsome 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 cane in now!”


    Chapter 41 Faithlessness


    About ten minutester 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 qu


    ickly


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


    azy n 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 tub


    e 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 e


    ven dream of you”


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


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


    more What a friend are you?”


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


    his 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 m


    onster. 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 toda


    y, 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. “s, 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 lik


    e 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 star


    ing 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 t


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


    r 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 ce at night. A


    ll 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 visite


    d. 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 asionally


    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.


    ording to the n, 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 hee 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 m


    “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 abo


    She shook her head quickly, trying to keep herself sober


    ‘Mr. Stewart. I’m fine. Ewan wille to help meter. 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 herter so that her setup could ru


    If Braden kept staying here or took her away, her n 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.


    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


    stic 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 dangerousing. She froze immediate


    “Be careful Braden, don’t move!”


    Chapter 44 I Found You Are Crazy!


    Braden thought Shirley was ying 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 ck snake standing on its neck and spitting out bright red snake lette


    “Damn it!”


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


    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 ce all year round. Don’t move anymore, so as not to sprea


    ‘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 be


    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


    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 shlight 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 pped her forehead helplessly. “It’s over. We’re screwed!”


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


    “Hey, stand back!”


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


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


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


    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 maic 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 cour


    “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 als


    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


    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 nk 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.


    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 whe


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


    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 yearster, 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 t


    “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


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


    Shirley had no time to care about the n 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


    “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


    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 t


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


    “Brat, are you trying to get tossed!”


    Shirley’s cheeks blushed immediately, and she pped 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 gopletely Have you ever considered telling him


    your little secret and listening to his thoughts?”


    “What nonsense are you talking about!”


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


    my best to control myself and never make such mistakes again.”


    “Try your best?”


    Ewan raised has eyebrows yfully


    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 .
