When She Unveils Identities By Zaylee CortéZ Chapter 43

Chapter 43 Faithlessness

About ten minutes later, a waitress led Susan to Resford 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 Braden’s left was observant and gave away

quickly.

Everyone in Seatle City knew the intended heir of Burman Group, Susan, who was spoiled by Jack, wa s crazy about Braden.

Burman Group and Stewart Group 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

to be a certainty.

However, no one would expect Shirley to show up…

“Braden, I haven’t seen you for so long. You look more handsome. You don’t know how much I miss

you. I even 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 anymore. Wh at a friend are you?”

Braden wore a straight face. His sharp eyes swept across the banquet, and he asked in a sulking tone, “This 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 monster. Why are you always avoiding me?”

When she said this, her arrogant brows showed a gloating smile. She said, “You’re a decent married m an while your prudish wife is not an honest woman. If she didn’t admit it today, 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 admit?”

“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, I can finally stay with you alone. I…”

“Five minutes.”

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. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

“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 a 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. “Alas. 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 like 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

staring 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 her 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 place 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 visited. 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 occasionally 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.

According to the plan, 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!

“I…”

Shirley was dumbfounded.

Why did he come 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 will come to help me later. You can go back now. Don’t worry about

me.”

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 her later so that her setup could run smo

If Braden kept staying here or took her away, her plan 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 throug

“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

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 a pl

“Shut up!”

Braden didn’t want to talk more and was about to pick Shirley up and take her away.

When Shirley was about to resist, she was aware of something dangerous coming. She froze immediately and reminded Braden in a low voice
