Chapter 488 Being Ruthless
Braden fumbled and closed the door with a wary expression.
In the entire Crimson Pawnshop, the only person he trusted was Irving. He did not think that the four years of friendship between them were all just for show.
“Mr. Stewart, what do you want to ask?” Irving sighed quietly and asked Braden softly.
“How is Shirley? Did that pervert hurt her?”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Stewart. Ms. Wilson is fine now. Even if our boss hurts himself, he won’t hurt Ms. Wilson,” Irving replied honestly.
“So, they are siblings?”
“Yes, they’re twins.”
“No wonder that pervert was willing to let me go for the first time!”
Braden tightened his fingers slightly. He was shocked.
Although he had already expected that the relationship between Shirley and Larry was deep, he still felt shocked when he knew their relationship now.
It turned out that the rumors were not groundless. Back then, the Wilson family did have twins, but the boy who was rumored to have died at birth was still alive.
“In that case, why didn’t Shirley come to see me? Could she be…” Braden’s heart sank, not daring to think further. His vague memory told him that Shirley had jumped into the water prison to save him, which meant that she could also be bitten by a poisonous snake.
If she was safe and was the younger sister of Larry, wouldn’t she come and leave
Crimson Pawnshop as she liked and have come to see him long ago? It had been so long, but she had not appeared. The reason was clear.
“You don’t have to worry. Ms. Wilson is fine. She is not at Crimson Pawnshop now.”
“Not here?”
“Yes, she left a long time ago. She left when you were on the verge of death. Maybe she didn’t care about your life and death so much!”
Irving shrugged and said lightly, “Ms. Wilson is the same as Mr. Wilson. She has always been a clear- minded woman. She wont delay her plan for you. And … there is one thing that I don’t know if I should tell you truthfully.”
Braden’s fingers tightened subconsciously. His heart ached uncontrollably. He said coldly, “What happened?”
“It wasn’t Mr. Wilson’s idea to lure you into the water prison. It was Ms. Wilson’s idea. She hated you for lying to her and betraying her, so she wanted to end your life as soon as possible to prevent herself from being affected again…”
“Impossible!”
Braden’s eyes were red as he said confidently, “Do you think you can alienate us? Shirley is not such a vicious woman. If she wants my life, it is so simple. She wouldn’t take the trouble to do such a thing and jump into the water prison to save me.”
“It is normal that you do not believe me. After all, you were once married and gave birth to a child. Who would believe that his wife wanted to kill him?”
Irving shook his head and gave him a fatal blow. But if she really cares about you, how could she leave at such a critical moment without hesitation? When you were blind and helpless, she left you alone in the dangerous place and did not care about you.”
“Enough, shut up!”
Braden finally collapsed.
No matter how mentally strong he was, how could he convince himself before the hard truth?
“That’s all I want to say. Your venom has been cleared. Our boss honors his words. Someone will bring you back to the Stewart’s place soon. I hope you will take care of yourself.”
After saying that, Irving bowed deeply to Braden apologetically and left the room.
After a long period of silence, Braden roared like a crazy beast, accompanied by the sound of smashing.
“Shirley, you are ruthless. You are really ruthless!’
Irving stood not far from the room, rubbing his fingers, feeling very tormented.
Next to him stood Larry who was tall and strong.
The man’s lips curled into a satisfied smile. He nodded at Irving and said, “Irving, well done. This time, you have made up for your mistakes. In the future, do your best in
Crimson Pawnshop. I will not pursue the past.”
Irving’s expression was filled with worry. He kept looking in the direction of Braden’s room and said in a worried tone, “Boss, Braden seems to be too agitated. He smashed again. Will it be too dangerous? After all, he is blind now. What if he steps on porcelain fragments or something…”
“Don’t worry, this guy is very cunning. He is just venting his anger. How can he hurt himself? Besides … I will send someone to send him back later. What will happen to him?”
Irving lowered his head and sighed. He seemed to want to say something but did not dare to say it.
Larry’s eyes turned cold as he glared at him. “What? You can’t bear to see that, right? Don’t forget how cold-blooded he was when he killed our men in Crimson Pawnshop. Now, you are the only one left among the three of you. Are you mourning for your enemy?”
“No!”
Irving hurriedly explained, “This guy deserves to die. Boss, you spared his life. It was all thanks to his good deeds from his previous life. Why would I pity him? I just think…”
“What do you think?”
“I think he is hateful, but he is faithful to Ms. Wilson. Ms. Wilson is also faithful to him. You just asked me to say those heartless words to sow discord between him and Ms. Wilson. Could it be … could it be bad for Ms. Wilson?” Irving asked carefully.
Shirley was clearly the one who risked her life to save Braden. When she woke up, she ran to see him, who was still in a coma.
But now, Larry wanted him to twist the truth and call Shirley a cold-blooded and ruthless woman. He felt that whether it was for Shirley or Braden, it was too cruel.
“Hmph, what do you know?”
Larry thought deeply and said, “I did this for my sister’s own good. If she wants to cut off all ties with this guy, she has to resort to some extreme measures. I am helping her.”
“Being emotional will only harm her. This time, you also saw it. She knew that the water prison was full of poisonous snakes. In order to save a heartless man, she still plunged into it. This time, she was lucky enough to survive. It is hard to say next time… Only by being ruthless will she not be hurt!” Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
“That’s right. This is the purpose you asked us to remember when you founded
Crimson Pawnshop. We have been following this tenet for so many years, and you have done your best to live up to this tenet. This is why Crimson Pawnshop is flourishing now. Perhaps you really did it for their own good.”
Thinking for a while, Irving chose to support Larry and convinced himself.
“Yes, being ruthless…”
Larry rubbed his fingers, his gaze gradually becoming deeper. Memories of the past flooded his mind.
He had been in a romantic relationship once and swore that he would never be in it again.
It was no different from poison. It was too painful and fatal for ordinary people.
