When she unveils identities

Chapter 22

Chapter 22 It Was Time to Give up!

Her words immediately infuriated Jane who was vain.

“You jinx, are you insane because of jealousy? How could it be a fake? Blaine spent millions of dollars

buying it!”

“If you dare to keep talking nonsense, I will tear your mouth apart!”

As she said that, regardless of her status, she stamped her feet and rushed towards Shirley. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Shirley avoided her easily, which made her fall to the ground.

The funny scene made the crowd roar with laughter.

Braden’s face was cold, and he felt very angry.

What was she doing?

It was already very inappropriate for her to dress so attractively, and now she was fighting with his

cousin on the stage. He could imagine the front page headlines in the newspaper tomorrow!

The auctioneer tried hard to control the situation.

“Miss Wilson, you are joking about brightening the atmosphere, or… do you have any evidence to

prove that this pendant is fake?”

“Of course, I have proof.”

After Shirley finished speaking, she picked up a laser pointer and said to the crowd with a firm

smile, “The real ‘Original‘ had been carefully polished. The inside of the crystal had been cut eight

times, which happens to be the eight letters of ‘original‘. When the laser pointer shines on it, the word

‘Original‘ will be projected on the outside, which is used to entrust the love of the king of Loria for his

goddaughter…”

“So, after using this laser pointer to shine on it, we’ll know whether it was real or not.”

The crowd listened to it interestingly. Even some of them echoed Shirley’s words, saying that they had

heard of a similar rumor about the “Original“.

Shirley did not hesitate and immediately took the laser pointer to shine on the pendant.

As she expected, no word was projected.

“Ah, it turns out to be a fake!”

“Tut, how could they denote something fake to do charity? For that little vanity, they have no moral

integrity!”

The situation changed suddenly. The crowd began to diss Jane who was complacent just now.

Jane felt humiliated. She gritted her teeth and asked Blaine, “Is what she told the truth? You are fooling

me with a fake?”

“I’m sorry, Jane. I didn’t know about that. Although the pendant is not the original version, I spent

hundreds of thousands of dollars buying it!”

Blaine lowered his head, bearing the ridicule from the crowd.

Unwilling to reconcile, he asked Shirley, “How do you know this? As far as I know, only experts know

how to tell the difference!”

“Well…”

Shirley couldn’t help laughing in her heart.

Of course, she knew it!

The real “Original” was in her jewelry box, and she was the mysterious goddaughter of the king of

Loria!

“I take it.”

Shirley replied casually.

In the end, Jane stepped off the stage in disgrace.

Under the stage, Ewan heaved a sigh of relief.

He knew that Shirley would not be easily bullied by others.

“Since what Jane donated is a fake, I’ll donate a real one to apologize to you on her behalf.”

Shirley spoke suddenly.

Everyone’s attention was once again drawn by Shirley.

Braden’s cold expression changed slightly, and he was also curious about what she would donate.

According to his limited understanding of her, she should not have saved much money in the four

years since she married him.

If she couldn’t donate something presentable, she would be humiliated by herself.

In the next second, the crowd saw that Shirley stretched out her white right hand and then took off the

big diamond ring on her ring finger.

“This is my wedding ring. Although it is not a priceless item, it is full of special meaning. Now I donate it,

hoping to get great proceeds to help more people in need.”

Her move directly surprised the scene.

How could she donate her wedding ring so readily?

Some people praised her for having great love and not being a stickler about love affairs.

Some people speculated that there was a problem with the marriage between her and Braden, as

rumored.

Braden sat in the center of the crowd area, exuding a cold aura, and his handsome face showed no

expression at all.

Ewan was overjoyed. With an evil smile, he said to Braden, “Tut, Shirley used to treasure her wedding

ring. She never took it off no matter what she did. But now she is willing to donate it. Mr. Stewart, it

seems that she is really disappointed in you and your marriage, so she is ready to let go. It is a great

thing that is worth celebrating!”

After he finished speaking, he stood up straight away and whistled to Shirley who was on the stage.

“Shirley, don’t worry. I would like to offer half of the Parker family to bid for your ring and get it

back to you!”

He showed his love for Shirley in a high–profile way, which surprised the crowd again.

They didn’t expect that Mrs. Stewart, who usually looked dignified, would have a story with this playboy

from the Parker family.

On the stage, Shirley gave a Merkel Raute sign to Ewan.

She had to say that Ewan let her act with ostentation!

The auctioneer said to Shirley, “Mrs. Stewart, the diamond ring is of great significance. Are you

sure you want to donate it?”

Shirley looked at the diamond ring and was silent for a moment.

What happened in the past four years flashed in her mind quickly. She remembered that she used to

cherish this diamond ring very much. Even when she bathed, ate and slept, she was unwilling to take it

off. She cherished her marriage with Braden in this way.

But what she got was a mess.

Now, the moment she took off the ring, she realized that this seemingly gorgeous and glamorous object

brought her only bondage and shackles, not love and hope.

She must learn to clear up unnecessary things in life.

So, it was time to give up.

“I am sure. This ring should be placed in a more suitable place to play a greater value.”

Shirley said it firmly.

There was thunderous applause from the crowd, praising her for her kindness and care.

Shirley could feel that Braden was staring at her with burning eyes, which could tear her apart.

But she didn’t care anymore, and she didn’t even bother to look at him again.

After getting off the stage, she didn’t return to her seat immediately but went to the restroom.

She washed her face with cold water, put her arms on the washstand, and stared into the mirror in

front of her.

The person in the mirror was noble and glamorous, no longer aggrieved.

She felt like she was back to who she was again!

She didn’t need that man now. Isn’t it a better choice to have a career?

Recalling Braden’s gloomy expression, she felt very happy!

The purpose of attending the dinner party had been achieved, so she reapplied her lipstick and was

about to leave.

But suddenly, she heard a man’s voice in the restroom.

“As soon as Braden comes on stage, I will start to act and finish him!”

“Hmph, three months ago, his brother died for him. This time… he won’t have good luck!”

Shirley’s nerves tensed up suddenly, and her long fingers tightened subconsciously.

Someone planned to kill Braden?
