Chapter 271
“We don’t know if it was an accident or not. The only witness was Braden. If Braden said it was an
accident, then it must be an accident. The deceased is gone. I don’t want to investigate too much.”
Howard’s words were ambiguous, and it was difficult for people not to think more about it.
“Do you know that the whole process was recorded? But in the end, the surveillance video was forcibly
destroyed by the only witness, Braden. Don’t you think it’s strange?”
Howard smiled faintly as if he had known about the situation. He said calmly, “This is very normal. The
two brothers have been very close since they were young. Braden especially admires his brother. He
followed his brother wherever he goes. He treats his brother like an immortal!
“The immortal in his heart died in such a miserable and painful way. To him, the video was a second
injury. It also destroyed the sacred image of his brother in his heart. For Charles, it is a humiliation. So it
is
reasonable for Braden to choose to destroy it.”
Howard’s words seemed to make sense, but it was not enough to convince Shirley.
“I heard that the inheritance rights of the Stewart Group originally belonged to Charles. However, just as
he was about to return to the country to take over, he encountered this accident. The inheritance rights
fell into the hands of the only witness, Braden. Do you really think there is nothing suspicious in this
case?”
Shirley was unusually agitated.
Because the truth was very important to her.
She did not want the person she had loved to be a scum who would do anything to achieve his goal and
even
harm his own brother!
“Something suspicious?”
Howard said coldly, “Do you think that Charles’s death has something to do with Braden? Or to put it
bluntly,
Charles was killed by Braden, right?”
Shirley didn’t reply.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShirley buried her head deep in her chest.
It was fine if it was just a coincidence, but with so many coincidences together, it was hard for her not to
think too much about it.
It was precisely because she did not want to make a mistake in her judgment that she wanted to ask
Howard
about it.
Unfortunately, Howard did not tell her the exact answer. Instead, he said ambiguously, “Girl, don’t ask
me. Ask
yourself. Do you think that he is such a bad person?”
“Braden may be heartless, but I don’t think he is a person without a bottom line. No matter how silly I am,
I
can’t be that silly…”
“Then believe in your intuition. Braden is not bad in nature. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have fallen in love
with
him.”
After Howard finished speaking, his aged face revealed a tired expression. “Good girl, I am a little tired
today. If there are no other questions, you can go back first. It won’t be too late to ask me after you have
thought it
through.”
“…”
Shirley still wanted to say something, but seeing that the old man had closed his eyes to rest, it was not
good to disturb him.
“Then have a good rest. I’ll take my leave first. I’ll come to see you when I am free.”
After Shirley left the Stewart’s home, Howard who was still sitting in the study room said to Braden, who
had been hiding behind the bookshelf, with a stern face, “You disappointing fellow. She has left. You’ve
eavesdropped enough. It’s time to come out!”
Braden put his hands in his pockets and walked out. His smile was a bit cold.
Howard was already angry. He glanced at Braden who looked indifferent. He was angrier. He scolded,
“You heard it, right? Shirley doesn’t love you anymore. It’s impossible for her to remarry you. She even
suspects that you are a pervert who killed your own brother. Tell me, how much of a failure do you have
to be in your
wife’s heart?”
“That is because she is stupid. She doesn’t even distinguish right from wrong.”
Braden’s handsome face was very gloomy and his voice was cold like ice.
If not for the plan, Braden would have rushed out and knocked open her head to see what it was filled.
“Well, you are the one who is truly stupid!”
Howard was furious. “Your image in her heart has plummeted, and now you are here to pretend that you
died. What are you thinking about day by day? The two of you have been drifting away a long time ago,
and now
you have told such a big lie. I want to see how you will make it!”
Braden said, “I have my own plans. She hates me when I am alive. Why don’t I change my identity to
stay by
her side and win her heart again?”
“Bullshit!”
Howard was so angry that he covered his chest and said rudely to Braden, “Who do you think you are?
You’re
already dead. Don’t tell me she will still remain a widow for you?”
“No matter what you do, solve the matter as soon as possible. The further you go, the harder it will be for
you
to end it. If her heart is dead and she marries any man, you won’t even have time to cry.”
Braden’s eyes turned cold. He said possessively, “I won’t give her this chance!”
The reason why he chose to fake his death was to play a big game so that he could capture all the
“disharmonious” forces in the Stewart Group.
Jer 27
Originally, everything went smoothly, and he just needed to wait.
However, his grandfather’s words, as well as what Shirley had just said, inevitably made him a little
anxious
Braden was worried that if this continued, the distance between him and Shirley would get farther and
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfarther, so far that it was impossible for them to reconcile.
After all, Shirley now suspected that he was the murderer who murdered his brother.
Speaking of which, Braden felt that he was wronged.
His grandfather ordered him to destroy the surveillance video back then.
“Grandfather, I still don’t understand. Why did you want me to destroy the surveillance video of my
brother being shot? Moreover, you didn’t allow me to send people to investigate it to the end. Well, I can’t
even clear my name even if I died. Now Shirley thought that I am a murderer who will do anything for the
inheritance
right!”
Braden let out a long sigh.
He was “dead”. Even if there were many injustices, he couldn’t jump to the face of Shirley to argue. It
was
really depressing!
“I have a reason to ask you to destroy it. Since you saw it with your own eyes and said that it was an
accident, then it was an accident. The person who really knows you will not suspect that you are the
murderer. I believe that Shirley will have her own judgment.”
“I hope so!”
Braden said worriedly.
He felt that he couldn’t sit still and wait for death. He had to take the initiative to take action.
After leaving the Stewart’s house, Shirley drove absent-mindedly.
Howard’s words made her feel a lot more determined.
Perhaps, she really thought too much.
Braden respected his brother so much. He cried so sadly at Charles’s funeral. How could such a person
be
the murderer?
Thinking of this, Shirley felt enlightened and her mood became better.
At this time, a strange number called in,
Shirley frowned and picked up the call. There was a man’s voice asking for help. “Ms. Wilson, come to
Toyboy Bar. Help!”
