When she unveils identities novel (Shirley and Braden) novel Chapter 16

Chapter 16 Got Your Back

“Or what?”

Shirley turned around, and her eyes fell on the big palm of the man holding her wrist. Her expression was calm. “Could it be possible that Mr. Stewart wants to slap me back?”

Braden didn’t say anything but just looked at her coldly with a deep gaze.

Shirley moved closer to him, put her fair face in front of him, and talked to him jokingly. “I heard that Mr. Stewart was always revengeful. If you are upset, you can also slap me.”

Naturally, he didn’t do anything. He raised his eyes and signaled everyone present to go out.

Soon, only two of them were left in the huge restaurant.

Braden let go of Shirley’s hand and said in a low voice, “I didn’t use you as a tool. Maybe I love you

part was fake, but I meant it when I said sorry.”

Standing in the brightly lit place, he looked so perfectly handsome but far away and unreal.

“Are you apologizing to me?”

Shirley was stunned.

She never thought that there would be a time when the arrogant Mr. Stewart, the mighty Mr.

Stewart, would put down his noble figure and apologize to others.

“No, you heard it wrong.

Braden coughed to hide his embarrassment and arrogantly denied it.

He calmed himself down and brought back his cold, handsome face. “The Stewart Group was

greatly affected by your prank live stream. Since you caused it, you must be responsible to the end.”

“Didn’t I cooperate with you in the show just now and help you change your reputation? What do you want from me now?”

She felt that she had been supportive enough.

If it was not her, anyone else would only make his reputation worse, so they could make another fortune by taking advantage of the situation.

She was still too kind in the end, for the sake of loving him for four

years.

“Now people all over the world are on our side. We could divorce, but we still have to act as a loving couple on the outside.”

Braden said it with confidence. He even tried to control her private life.

“Technically, you are still my wife, so you’d better not get too close to that Parker dude. It’s not gonna be good for you.”

“As compensation, you can continue to use your identity as Mrs. Stewart to go where you want and buy what you want.”

“When someone bullies you, tell me immediately, and I will get you back.”

Shirley couldn’t help opening her mouth when she heard his orderly arrangement.

What was wrong with him?

Who did he think he was?

How could he just make an excuse to control her life? Nobody even asked him to protect her. What a

narcissistic!

“Mr. Stewart, you seem to have forgotten one thing.”

Shirley sneered and said, “We are going to get a divorce certificate soon. I have nothing to do with you anymore. Why do you control my life? Who gives you the authority?”

“On the one hand, you already had a child with your side chick, and on the other hand, you still need to use your ex–wife to maintain my public image. You have taken all the benefits. Aren’t you

embarrassed?”

“The most ironic thing is that I have been married to you for four years, and you treat me like nothing. Do you know how many people have bullied me before? Do you know how much I suffered? You have never asked me about anything like that. Now you told me that you got my back. I feel

sick!”

Shirley had never been more disappointed with this man before.

She just wanted to leave here immediately, and she didn’t want to be entangled with him at all!

“The day after tomorrow, grandpa will have a heart transplant.”

He looked at her thin back, and said slowly, “The doctor said that he couldn’t be stimulated.”

Shirley turned her back to the man, and her indifferent expression was slightly changed.

In the entire Stewart family, old Mr. Stewart loved her the most and always treated her like his own granddaughter.

If he knew they were getting divorced, he wouldn’t take it well.

If his health situation got worse because of this, she would not be at ease in her life.

Braden seemed to have grasped her mind. He relaxed his frown. “Think about it. If you agree, I will

pick you up tomorrow.

“By the way, where do you live now? Send the address,”

Shirley clenched her fists in anger.

Why did she feel that Bradeh suddenly looked like a rascal?

“None of your business!

After she rolled his eyes, she strode away.

After she got home, she lay on the bed, tossing and turning for a long time, but she couldn’t fall

asleep.

Braden was all over her head.

She couldn’t stop thinking of what he said and how she felt when he kissed her.

Her mood was like riding a roller coaster, changing between angry, shy, and sad.

Damn, she told herself to wake up. Hadn’t she been hurt enough? How could she let her emotions be manipulated by him again?

After finally falling asleep, she was woken up by a phone call early in the morning.

“Shirley, how are you? What did that monster do to you? Do you want to call the police?”
