When she unveils identities

Chapter 13

Chapter 13 Shirley, I Underestimated You!

“Mr. Stewart, please calm down and don’t hit Mrs. Stewart!”

“Domestic violence is against the law. Mrs. Stewart is so nice and loves you so much. Will it make your

feel guilty if you beat her?”

“If you dare to beat Mrs. Stewart again, we will quit the job and sue you for domestic violence

collectively!”

These people were employees of Stewart Group’s administrative department. They used to be

entrusted by Shirley with the meals and gifts for Braden as tokens of her love, and they had the chance

to take their remnants. After several exchanges, they had already treated Shirley as their friend.

Braden and Shirley still maintained ambiguous postures.

Looking from a distance, it was Braden who relied on his tall stature to bully the delicate and frail

Shirley.

What a brute he was!

Braden had aroused public outrage at this moment, and even his most reliable assistant, Liam, stood

on the side of Shirley and blamed him for the injustice done to her.

“Mr. Stewart, I have to say a few words for the sake of justice.” Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Mrs. Stewart was a very kind person. During the past few years, she had been diligent and had never

neglected her duty as your wife. But in the end, you’ve committed adultery…”

“It was shameful of you to have betrayed her while unwilling to sign the divorce agreement!”

Saying this, Liam showed a provocative expression again and challenged his authority fearlessly.

“Mr. Stewart, could it be that you are still in love with Mrs. Stewart and refuse to sign the divorce

agreement?”

This reminder was seconded by everyone present.

“It must be like this. Mr. Stewart had committed adultery on a whim, and the person he loves most

is Mrs. Stewart…”

“A mistress is not as good as Mrs. Stewart. Mr. Stewart had just toyed with her for fun.”

“Mr. Stewart, don’t be embarrassed. If you love Mrs. Stewart, admit it generously and make a

confession to her. She will definitely forgive you!”

“If it were me, I would have knelt down. Although a man values his dignity most, he would give it up

without hesitation for the sake of his beloved woman!”

These employees knew that these words would make Mr. Stewart lose face and may cost them their

jobs.

But thinking of redeeming the relationship between the couple they had been counting on for so long,

they let their fear drop.

Shirley never expected that things would turn out like this. After being dazed for a few minutes, she

took advantage of the situation and said, “That’s right. Husband, do you still love me and refuse to sign

the divorce agreement to retain me?”

“If you love me, just say it straight. Why do you hide your feelings? Just like what your staff said, as

long as you kneel down and beg me, I will definitely forgive you!”

“Shirley!”

Braden stared at the woman who was as cunning as a vixen in his arms, his stern face about to twist

with anger.

He suddenly realized that even though he had been fighting through all obstacles in the business

world, there was nothing he could do with this woman.

“It is all in your head! How can I love you?”

Braden didn’t want to let this farce continue. He opened the drawer of his desk, took out the new

version of the divorce agreement, and signed his name in one stroke.

“With so many tricks, you just want me to sign it, and I will fulfill your desire!”

With a cold face, he threw the signed divorce agreement in front of Shirley.

At the same time, Shirley turned off the live broadcast.

She raised her eyebrows, took the divorce agreement into her hands, and said with a smile, “Thank

you for your cooperation, Mr. Stewart. Please transfer Blosso Law Office to me as soon as possible.”

She admitted that she was hurt by the man’s words.

But it didn’t matter. At least, she managed to get what she wanted.

Holding the divorce agreement, Shirley walked out of Stewart Group’s headquarters contentedly.

“Mrs. Stewart, wait a minute!”

Liam stopped her from behind.

“Is there something wrong?”

Shirley looked back at Liam.

In the past four years, he served as the medium through which Braden and Shirley exchanged

views.

So Liam was no stranger to her, who even felt that she could get along well with him.

“Actually, it’s nothing. I just want to apologize to you on behalf of Mr. Stewart.”

“Also… Why do you want Blbsso Law Office? Don’t you know how unreliable the three lawyers in this

law office are? They are not qualified at all. Your loss outweighed your gain in this divorce!”

“This…”

Shirley smiled noncommittally, “I believe, you will know it soon.”

After the global live broadcast, Braden was deeply involved in the turmoil of public discussions.

Netizens filled with righteous indignation flung hundreds upon hundreds of curses upon him every day

and even uncovered the evidence that the mistress Amelie had an intimate relationship with his

elder brother Charles.

Netizens denounced Braden not only for his debauchery but also for his consorting with his brother’s

girlfriend, which was a devastatingly inhuman act.

It was even worse for Stewart Group. It had just recovered from the aftermath of the hacking of its

customer system, but the scandals of its CEO went viral on the Internet and produced a plunge in its

stock price.

“Braden, what’s going on with the live broadcast? How dare you treat Shirley like this? How could I,

Kenny Stewart, give birth to such a bastard like you?”

“Now that everyone knows that you’re an adulterer!”

“How dare you beat Shirley? If I hadn’t been abroad to prepare the heart implant for your grandfather, I

would have broken your leg!”

Early in the morning, Braden was upset by his father Kenny, who yelled at him grumpily.

With a cold and handsome face, he tugged at the tie irritably with his slender fingers and said in a deep

voice, “It was all designed by that woman, and you were all deceived.”

“Nonsense!”

Kenny was so angry that he cursed in an excited voice, “Stop slandering my Shirley! She is an honest

and dutiful child. If she wasn’t cornered by you, how could she give away the scandal of this family?”

Honesty?

Braden was on the verge of resorting to violence the instant he heard these three words.

It was true that in the past, Shirley had been honest and well–behaved.

But now, she was a scheming and outrageous vixen!

“Or, as a minority of netizens guessed, the remnant of love made you unable to sign the contract and

divorce her?”

When Kenny said this, he finally showed a smile, “If you are still in love, you have to admit your

mistakes. Women need to be coaxed. As your father, I’m experienced in this respect. When I come

back, I will teach you how to console women with flattering words.”

“I don’t love her, and I can never love her.”

Braden’s voice was as cold as ice and removed all possibility that he would love that woman.

Kenny was discouraged by Braden’s announcement, and his face twisted with anger, “Forget it. It’s all

up to you!”

“Anyway, you should deal with this matter quickly and remove online comments detrimental to your

public image. Your grandfather is still lying on the bed in the ward and has no access to the news on

the Internet. If he got worse after reading it, I would put the blame on you!”

Kenny finally hung up the phone, and Braden felt that the whole world quieted down.

He leaned back in his office chair and looked up at the ceiling.

He said that he would never fall in love with Shirley, but his mind was full of images of that woman.

He didn’t expect that one day, He would be messed up by his insignificant nominal wife.

“Shirley, I really underestimated you!”

“Mr. Stewart.”

There was a knock on the door.

“Come in.”

Braden tried to calm down and maintain his reason.

The person who entered the room was his personal secretary, Rachel.

“Mr. Stewart, according to your instructions, the public relations department has dealt with the negative

comments online and offline, and we have bribed the major news media into issuing the news to

restore the reputation of you and the Stewart Group.”

“Only…”

When Rachel said this, she hesitated and looked embarrassed.

“Only what?”

Rachel swallowed and said cautiously, “The netizens are consumed with indignation and are divided

into two groups. One group dismisses you as an adulterer who resorts to domestic violence and

intends to boycott you and the Stewart Group. The other group feeds on the love romance between

you and Mrs. Stewart and firmly believes that you flirted with her in that live broadcast in order to

please them.”

Braden’s face sank.

He didn’t expect the current netizens to have so much leisure time and indulge in such wild fancies.

“The problem now is that although we can bribe the media into altering the direction of speech, we

cannot bribe the netizens.‘

“They released all kinds of posts on the forum at speed beyond our control. They also set up a lot of

groups, including the one that denounces you and the other that counts on your love for Mrs. Stewart.

The two groups fight every day and make you a heated topic on the Internet.”

Braden was completely speechless and found the situation irritating and ridiculous.

“So, what’s the solution?”

“The public relations department came up with a solution overnight, which can not only quell the turmoil

but also improve the sales of Stewart Group. But, it may cost you a lot.”
