When she unveils identities novel (Shirley and Braden) novel Chapter 10

Chapter 10 They Are Not Worth It!

When Braden woke up, he found himself lying on a hospital bed with gauze wrapped around his head.

Shirley had stayed by his hospital bed, now seeing him open his eyes, she finally stopped frowning, but her tone was still cold, “Alright, it looks like I can finally leave.”

She worried about him but didn’t want to let him know.

But he suddenly gripped her wrist firmly.

“Are you alright? Did they do anything to you?”

Braden was still weak, but his attractive eyes were still sharp and deep. He looked carefully at Shirley, who got up and was about to leave.

Shirley sneered, “Mr. Stewart, thank you for your concern, but I can take care of myself, and you shall worry more about yourself!”

She had loved this man for four years.

She dreamed of getting his concern before, and only a few words would be enough.

However, she didn’t need that anymore.

Braden was thinking about what had happened before and didn’t notice Shirley’s unusual indifference.

“Those people are really tough to deal with. How did you escape?”

“Well…”

Shirley didn’t know how to answer for a while.

She couldn’t tell him she could escape because she beat them up, and they knelt to beg her for

mercy.

“It’s not a hard question.”

Braden looked into the woman’s eyes and noticed something unusual.

She shouldn’t need so much time to answer that question.

Shirley felt Braden had seen through her, but she retained her composure and said calmly, “I told them you are Mr. Stewart, so they didn’t dare to hurt me!”

“After they heard that you are the future leader of the most powerful family in Seatle City, the Stewart family, they immediately knelt in fright and begged for mercy, and then I sent you to the

hospital.”

This was really a good excuse.

No one dared to offend the Stewart family in the entire Seatle City.

So Braden didn’t doubt her words.

He looked at the thin and weak woman, imagining the scene of her being surrounded and bullied by those gangsters in the food stall, and he got mixed feelings.

“If they were afraid of my identity, why didn’t you say it in the first place?”

“What?”

“If anyone dares to bully you in the future, you don’t need to try to reason with him. I believe if you tell them you are the ex–wife of Braden Stewart, they would be more respectful of you.”

“What?”

Shirley looked at the man in shock.

How pompous was he to talk like that?

“Mr. Stewart, do you know how many children die of hunger yearly in this world? Do you know how much a beggar can get in the door of a hospital for a day? Do you know how many meters the sea level will rise every hour because of global warming?”

Shirley’s words made Braden confused. He asked, “What does this have to do with me?”

“Yeah, so what does it matter to you if I am bullied?”

Braden’s face turned livid in silence.

Shirley stood in front of the bed, staring at the man with a half–smile, and said, “Do you know why a

man’s nose turned red?”

“Why?”

Braden asked dryly.

“Because he pokes his nose into everything.”

Shirley pushed back a few strands of hair from her cheeks and looked coldly at that man as if he

were a stranger.

“I hope Mr. Stewart remembers that we are getting divorced in about 20 days. Please don’t meddle

in others‘ business.”

“If you are really full of love and want to be nice to others, you can do more charity and earn a good

reputation for yourself.”

Braden was speechless at her words. He clenched his fists.

When did her words become so biting? She was sophisticated and sharp and didn’t like the sweet and innocent girl she used to be.

“So long!”

After that, Shirley turned and left without hesitation.

The belated affection was cheap.

Moreover, this was not affection but a hypocritical act to get himself peace of mind, and she wouldn’t give a shit!

Shirley stepped out of the ward’s door and bumped into her mother–in–law.

“Ah, are you blind?”

Tracy rubbed her forehead and cursed angrily.
