Chapter 355 What Do You Want?
“I’m so angry! I’m so angry! Braden, you son of a bitch, I wish you would die from eating too much steak!”
After walking out of the fancy restaurant, Shirley finally lost her cool and began to curse.
She was shocked this guy was so shameless. He had angered her so much that her blood pressure
rose.
Then, he enjoyed the dinner Shirley paid for with Alina. Did he treat Shirley as a sucker?
Shirley hated herself so much. Why was it that after so long, she was still easily affected by him even
though her mind was clear? It made her seem incompetent and powerless.
Braden was her nemesis. If she met him, nothing good would happen. In the future, she had to stay far
away from him.
With that thought in mind, Shirley calmed down a little.
She couldn’t afford to offend him, but she could at least stay away from him.
She hailed a taxi and returned to the apartment.
When she arrived at the apartment and was about to open the door, Rocco called her.
When Shirley thought of the Golden Meal that Braden had mentioned, she couldn’t help but feel
nauseous
However, to take back the Wilson’s house, she endured the disgust and said in a warm tone, “Mr. Warter,
we have only been apart for a short while, and you called. It seems you treat me as a confidant!”
“Hahaha, Shirley, of course I treat you as a confidant. Otherwise, you would have been mine long ago.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHow could I give you the chance to leave the Warter’s Manor? We are soulmates. Our relationship is
platonic…”
Shirley rolled her eyes in annoyance. She resisted the urge to hang up the phone and continued, “Since
that’s the case, Mr. Warter, you might as well give up the area where the Wilson’s house is located. It has
the best environment in Seatle City. It is not suitable to be used to build sewage works. I’m not afraid you
will be angry. If you transform that area, it will be a misuse!”
Rocco snorted coldly, revealing a sly smile. “Hey, Shirley, you are my confidante. But you keep talking
shop. That’s not cute. Besides… Although you are a close friend of mine, I can’t lose money for you. Do
you know how much I spent to get the development rights of that area?”
“Then you mean there’s no room for discussion?”
“That’s not it… I told you this morning. You can offer something of equal value in exchange for it.”
Rocco tried to lure Shirley to take the bite.
Shirley had a serious expression and did not want to beat around the bush anymore. She said directly.
“Then tell me. What do you want?”
When she had chatted with Rocco in the morning, she could tell he was sophisticated. At least, he would
not do business that would make him lose money.
It was impossible for him to hand over the area where the Wilson’s house was located to her because of
the so-called “favor”.
However, she had chatted with him for so long but she had not figured out what he needed.
He probably did not lack women.
As for money, he had more than enough to spend.
Therefore, she had no idea where to start.
“Hey, you might not believe it. It is rumored that I am a pervert, but in fact, I have a lot of hobbies,
especially when it comes to antiques and cultural relics. I know of an antique called ‘Seven-colored
Glazed Cup…”
“Seven-colored Glazed Cup?”
“Seven-colored Glazed Cup is a delicate artifact in the colors of the rainbow. Every side of it has a
beautiful beast carved into it. It is the symbol of luck and is said to bring fortune and health to its owner. I
have longed for it for quite some time now.”
Shirley continued to roll her eyes, disgusted. “From your words, I guess you want me to help you find the
treasure, right?”
“Shirley, you are so smart and cute. As expected of my confidant, you understood my words so fast.”
Shirley was annoyed and ground out, “Are you sure you are not making things difficult for me? Is there a
possibility that this treasure is just a folk legend? It might not exist at all. Where can I find it for you?”
“If you succeed, it can prove how amazing you are…”
Rocco smiled and said, “Don’t worry. It definitely exists. Try your best to look for it, and you will succeed.
When you find it, I will give you the land. Of course, my time is also precious. I hope it won’t be more
than a week.”
“But…”
Shirley still wanted to say something, but Rocco hung up the phone.
“Dammit! These bastards!”
She was so angry that she wanted to smash her phone.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut it seemed that the simplest and smartest way to take back the Wilson’s house was to find the Seven-
colored Glazed Cup.
Shirley took a deep breath and calmed herself down. She decided to investigate the origin of this thing
and see if the chances of finding it were high.
She opened the door and entered the apartment.
The two children obediently waited at home for her.
Due to Alisha’s asthma attack yesterday, Shirley had ordered them to stop running around today. They
couldn’t go to Crimson Pawnshop. “Ally, how do you feel today? Are your breathing still uncomfortable?”
Shirley held Alisha in her arms, kissed her, and asked with concern.
“I’m sorry, Mommy. I have made you worry. I am not uncomfortable today, but Mommy, when can we go
back to the Wilson’s house? Today, May told us it is the locust blossoms season. In the courtyard of the
Wilson’s house, there is a tall and big locust tree. It is beautiful and fragrant!”
“Yes, there is a swing under the locust tree. When I was young, I liked to sit on the swing. Your
grandparents pushed me on the swing. That was my most carefree and happiest time…”
Shirley was missing home. When Alisha brought it up, Shirley couldn’t wait to move back.
Bennett was sitting in front of the computer and writing codes. Shirley said to him, “Ben, can you do me a
favor and search for who has the Seven-colored Glazed Cup?”
“Okay, Mommy. Leave it to me!”
Bennett typed on the keyboard, and in less than ten minutes, he hacked into the internal database of the
cultural relics website and found the whereabouts of the Seven-colored Glazed Cup.
“Mommy, I found the whereabouts of the Seven-colored Glazed Cup. What a coincidence… You can’t
guess where it is!”
Bennett waved his little hand and cheered.
