Chapter 460 I’ve Let You Down

“I refuse.”

Braden didn’t wait for Shirley to finish the countdown and gave the answer.

His expression was indifferent as if he was looking at a stranger. He said emotionlessly, “You are always self-righteous. You think that you are charming enough to win my heart. Let me tell you the truth. From beginning to end, I was just playing with you. I have confirmed your love for me. I won, so I don’t want to continue to be with you. However, you fell into the trap and were unwilling to give up on me. You even want to offer me the so- called help. It is disgusting.’

“Enough!”

Antwan clenched his fists. For the first time, he lost his composure. He was a little out of control as he mocked Braden. Braden, if you have time, why don’t you think about how to bring the Stewart Group out of the crisis instead of hurting a woman? Aren’t you afraid of disgracing the Stewart family if the news spread out?”

“Isn’t it what you want?”

Braden’s eyes were as sharp as a blade. He looked at Antwan and said meaningfully,

“In addition, I am different from you. At least I am open and honest. I never play dirty tricks.”

Antwan had always been uncompromising. However, Braden’s words hit his sore points, and he no longer argued with Braden.

He turned back to hold Shirley’s hand and said in a low voice, “You see him, and you should learn about his true colors. Let’s go.”

“Why are you in such a hurry?”

There was no sadness or joy on Shirley’s delicate face, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking.

Was she sad, angry, or nonchalant?

“He said so, yet you still refuse to give up?”

Antwan frowned and was angry with Shirley’s unusual calmness. “It seems that you are still the same as before. For him, you even gave up the basic dignity of a woman.

You deserve to be disappointed and humiliated!”

“So noisy.”

Shirley rolled her eyes at Antwan and said impatiently, “If you don’t want to die, stay away, lest you get injured accidentally.”

“What do you mean?”

Antwan was confused, but he stood further away obediently.

Alina swallowed her saliva and shrank into Braden’s arms. “You… What do you want to do? This is the banquet held by the Gilmore family. Don’t think about making a scene… Ah!”

Before Alina could finish her words, Shirley grabbed her neck and threw her into the pool.

The scene was in chaos. The men and women ran around in a panic. Braden was the only one who remained seated in the recliner. His handsome face was expressionless as he waited for Shirley’s next step.

“Braden, you have the guts to betray me again. Do you know what the price is for betraying me?”

Shirley looked down at Braden and asked coldly.

“I don’t know, but I accept.”

Braden smiled coldly. “I’ve let you down. You can do whatever you want to take revenge on me.”

“Do you think I can’t do anything to you? Braden, listen up. This time, I won’t just let it go. If you dare to betray me, I will make you suffer!”

After that, Shirley grabbed the water pipe from a man in the pool and aimed it at Braden’s handsome face.

“Ah!”

The people at the scene were frightened.

No one had thought that someone would dare to be so disrespectful to Braden.

Braden’s bathrobe was completely soaked, and so was his hair. His outlined facial features were painful, and he was in a sorry state.

But he was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled. He rubbed his wet hair with his long fingers, and his handsome face became even more dazzling under the sun. “Is this the only way for you to take revenge? You are as childish as a primary school student.”

“Of course not. This is just an appetizer. A big meal is coming. Just wait and see!”

After Shirley said those harsh words, she threw the water pipes away and messed up the banquet hall like a madman. Then, she left the hotel.

The hotel manager wanted to rush forward and asked Shirley to compensate the loss, yet Braden stopped him.

Braden said coldly, “She can do whatever she wants. I will bear all the losses.”

Confirming that Shirley had gone far away, Alina came ashore from the pool and walked to Braden. She apologized, “I didn’t expect her to be so crazy. Do you need me to chase after her and explain?”

“If you want to explain, nothing will happen today. Isn’t it?”

Braden’s tone was cold and did not carry a trace of emotion. His previous affection for Alina disappeared completely.

“Braden, you hate me, don’t you?”

Alina clenched her fists, and her expression was pained. “Do you know how much effort I put in to make my father cool down? I just want you to date me for three months. Three months later, the grudge between the Stewart family and the Gilmore family will be written off. At that time, you can go back to your dear wife. For you, is this a big sacrifice?’

“There will be a battle between the Stewart family and the Gilmore family. It can’t be avoided even if I compromise for three months. I promised to date you, and I just hope you can keep your promise and not hurt Shirley.’ Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Braden’s eyes were full of threat. He warned, “In three months, if you don’t destroy everything in your hands, just wait for the Gilmore family to be destroyed with you.”

His words infuriated Alina. She lost control and shouted, “Do you love that woman so much? You even gamble on your future and the interests of your family. Are you so heartless?”

“I don’t care. So, you better not challenge my bottom line.’

“Your words are always reminding me of my stupidity. Compared to you, I am more like a fool. For a man who doesn’t love me, for the three-month illusory love, I also gamble on the future of the Gilmore family!”

“That’s right. You are so stupid. You have used up all the good feelings I have for you.”

“Since that’s the case, I can only go even further…”

Alina held Braden’s shoulder and leaned against him. “Since you have promised to be in love with me for three months, you have to fulfill your duty as a man.”

After leaving the hotel, Shirley walked along the sea.

The weather by the sea was always changeable. Just now, it was still sunny, but the next moment, it was raining heavily.

Shirley stood in the rain and was drenched.

Antwan held the umbrella and followed her. He teased, “The heavens love Braden so much. They can’t tolerate him being wronged at all. You just force him to take a cold shower. Now, he returns it to you.”

“Get lost.”

Shirley did not even look at Antwan. She crossed her arms and said angrily, “I’m annoyed right now. If you don’t want to die, don’t talk nonsense.”

“Go to my car. Don’t stand in the rainstorm to vent your anger. Do you think you’re filming a love movie? What benefits can you get other than falling ill?”

As Antwan spoke, he suddenly shouted, “Hey, Braden, why are you here?’
