Chapter 482


    As Long As She Is Safe


    Irving had guessed correctly. Braden had originally nned topletely cut off all ties with Crimson


    Pawnshop, so he would not appear as Mr. Quintin.


    He even wanted to cancel the SIM card that concealed the IP address.


    However, when he saw the video that Irving had sent him which showed that Shirley was suffering in


    the water prison, he went crazy. He lost all his reason.


    At this moment, he was apanying Alina to attend a very important family dinner while discussing


    the cooperation between the Gilmore family and the Stewart family in he next quarter.


    Martin was very satisfied with Braden’spromise. His words were hinting that the wedding of


    Braden and Alina should be on the agenda.


    “Braden, you know how I have been treating you all these years. You and Alina have been growing up


    together as friends.


    The natural and next step is to get married, isn’t it?” “Daddy, you drank too much. How can you talk


    nonsense?


    I told you that Braden and I are only dating now. We will only get married when we see fit.” lina blushed


    and stopped Martin from continuing. She was afraid that Braden would be impatient and stop acting


    with her.


    “I didn’t talk nonsense. I worked so hard to make the Gilmore family prosper like this. In the future, the


    Gilmore family will be handed over to you.


    As long as you and Braden get married, it will be handed over to Braden. Braden is so capable.


    The Gilmore family will definitely be more and more prosperous in his hands…” Martin patted


    Braden on the shoulder, his eyes full of appreciation.


    Braden, our family will depend on you in the future. Think about it, with the alliance of the Gilmore


    family and the Stewart family, who dares to provoke us?”


    “Yes, in the entire Seatie City, other than Braden, who else is qualified to marry the daughter of the


    Gilmore family?”


    “Come on. No more talks. Cheers!” The other members of the Gilmore family also echoed and toasted


    Braden one by one.


    “Sorry, everyone. I have to go.” Braden’s expression was cold. He ignored the toasts and got up to


    leave.


    Alina quickly grabbed his wrist and tried to squeeze out a rxed smile. “Braden, the family banquet


    has just begun. Everyone is having fun.


    Isn’t it inappropriate for you to leave so suddenly?” “I have something to deal with.” “What is so


    important that makes you leave now?”


    Alina smiled, lowered her voice, and pleaded, “I’m begging you, okay? If you leave now, my dad will be


    embarrassed. He couldn’t tolerate that.


    Can you hold up for another ten minutes? Just ten minutes!” “Not even a minute.” Braden shook off


    Alina’s hand with a cold face and left the banquet.


    Braden, Braden, wait a minute. Braden, don’t leave!” Alina could still pretend at first, but in the end, she


    could not pretend anymore.


    She held her head and cried. The originally lively banquet was now silent. Only the sound of breathing


    could be heard.


    “How dare you! The Stewart family is falling, yet you still dare to be so arrogant. You are stepping on


    the dignity of the Gilmore family.


    I will never get over this!” Martin was so angry. He flipped the table and threatened to be irreconcble


    with the Stewart family.


    Braden turned a deaf ear and walked out of the Gilmore’s house. He started his car and stepped on the


    elerator to the end.


    He then arrived at the Crimson Pawnshop as fast as he could. “Where is she? Where is Shirley?”


    He was still wearing Mr. Quintin’s ck and white mask and headed straight to the water prison. He


    questioned Irving who was guarding the door.


    “She is inside. “Our boss said that he wanted you to personally undo the shackles and use your life to


    exchange for Ms. Wilson’s life,” Irving said carefully.


    Although Irving already knew that the man in front of him was an imposter, Braden’s powerful aura still


    made him tremble and unconsciously be respectful.


    “Then let him do what he says!” Braden pushed the door open without hesitation. “Wait!”


    Irving frowned and stopped Braden when Braden pushed the door open. “Think about it carefully. This


    is a water prison.


    If you go in, you may really die. And it will be the kind of suffering that is worse than death!” “As long as


    she’s safe, nothing else matters.”


    Braden took a deep breath and pushed the door open without hesitation. In the water prison, the water


    level had already risen to Shirley’s waist.


    In less than five minutes, when the water level rose to her shoulder, at least 500 snakes, insects, rats,


    and ants would be automatically released.


    There would also be many poisonous snakes. The situation was very urgent.


    “Shirley!”


    Braden saw her locked with iron chains, and he felt so worried. He shouted out her name loudly. “You


    … you really came?”


    Shirley was about to doze off since she thought that he would note. She was about to give up.


    When she saw that he really came to save her, she was very touched and no longer doubted that he


    was just ying with her.


    “I have been looking for you for a long time. Why don’t you want to see me? Why do you want to give


    me to Braden? I have many things to tell you.


    I have many things to ask you. I…” “Don’t say anything. The water level is about to reach a dangerous


    position. Come out of the water prison first!”


    Braden knew better than anyone how inhuman the water prison was, so in the four years that he was in


    charge of the Crimson Pawnshop, he directly sealed this area.


    He didn’t expect that the moment that pervert returned, the water prison was restarted. If he had known


    this, he would have destroyed it!


    He did not even take off his clothes before jumping into the water prison and rushing to Shirley. He


    used all his strength to try to undo her shackles.


    Shirley was so cold that her lips were a little pale. Her whole body was wet, but her eyes were bright.


    She looked at Braden with great emotion.


    “You clearly know that you came to walk into the trap, but you still came to save me. It proves that your


    feelings for me are true, so you had difficulties marrying me before, right?


    You were coerced by that bad guy Braden, right?” Braden didn’t reply. Braden remained silent the


    whole time, only breathing rapidly.


    He was focusing on unlocking the shackles, so even though he was in the water, he was sweating.


    Shirley thought, rx. I’ll be fine.


    It’s just a prank. I was just trying to lure you out. You…Shirley was moved and was about to confess


    everything to Braden.

    At this time, all the lights in the water prison lit up, and four or five strong men rushed in. “Time off. Cuff


    him!”


    Larry stood at the highest position and looked down at the two in the water prison. Irving stood next to


    him.


    “What’s going on? Irving? Didn’t you say that we can deal with this matter ourselves? Why…” “I’m


    sorry, Ms. Wilson.


    There are some things that I can’t control.” Irving sighed apologetically.


    The next second, Braden was cuffed by a few strong men in the original position where Shirley was.
