When she unveils identities novel (Shirley and Braden) novel 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

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..

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 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?”
