Chapter 193 Internet Celebrity
The voice that she hadn’t heard for four years was still as cold and distant as she remembered it to
be
Shirley listened quietly, her expression and mood calm.
“Well, M–Mr. Stewart, sorry to disturb you…‘
Roland didn’t expect Braden to pick up the call so quickly. He was so nervous that his tongue trembled.
He said incoherently, “Well… my niece Shirley has returned to Seatle City today. You know that she has
disappeared for so many years. It’s good that she finally came back. You have been taking care of me
these years. I want to invite you and her to my place for a meal. You…”
“There’s no need.”
Braden directly refused almost without any hesitation or emotion.
Then, without any extra words, he quickly hung up the phone.
“Ah, Mr…. Mr. Stewart…”
Roland shouted at his phone for a long time, but he could only hear the beep sound.
He called again, only to find he was blacklisted.
“Shirley, well… don’t be angry. I think Mr. Stewart must be busy. He is the president. I will use Mollie’s
phone to call him later.”
Roland glanced at Shirley with a guilty and embarrassed look, afraid that Shirley would be hurt.
He never expected that Braden, who had always taken care of his family, would suddenly turn him down.
He was obviously avoiding Shirley. Shirley would feel awkward.
“It doesn’t matter!”
Shirley shrugged and smiled. “If he comes, we will prepare another set of tableware. If he doesn’t, I will
eat more. It’s not a problem.”
It’s not that she pretended to be cool, but Braden was just a familiar stranger to her. It couldn’t
affect her emotions at all.
Mollie frowned and showed a disappointed expression. She shook her head repeatedly. “Tsk, I was blind.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI misjudged him. Mr. Stewart is really not like a man. He is so reluctant. He doesn’t even dare to dine
with us. He is not as straightforward as Shirley!”
Roland said, “You silly girl, what do you know? If he has forgotten Shirley, he won’t care If he is
reluctant, then it means he still cares. Mr. Stewart has always been kind and generous. This time,
he is so petty He must still have Shirley in his heart. I’ll ask him out again when the time is right!”
Shirley chuckled, “Your imagination is too wild. He is now a big company president. Isn’t it normal for him
to refuse to dine with us common people? Besides… I have such an awkward relationship with him. He
doesn’t want to see me in case his girlfriend has some misunderstanding.”
“That’s right!”
Mollie touched her chin and nodded. “These few years, his relationship with that Amelie is very stable.
He is often photographed by reporters to be on a vacation with Amelie. Maybe he doesn’t care about
Shirley anymore.”
“No, I don’t think so…”
Roland didn’t agree. “I am a man, so I understand men. If a man had really let it go, how can he care
about his ex’s relatives? Mr. Stewart has been taking care of us all these years. And every year he goes
to pay respects to your aunt and uncle. It doesn’t look like he let go of Shirley.”
“But if he doesn’t, why didn’t he even refuse to dine with us? Why did he have a new girlfriend? Isn’t he a
jerk?”
Mollie became excited. She pulled Roland’s arm and said, “Dad, do you dare to bet with me? I bet that
Mr. Stewart has let go of Shirley…”
“No way. I quit gambling!”
”
“Let’s bet. If you win, I will wash the dishes all this year!”
“This is okay. Then I bet that Mr. Stewart hasn’t let go of Shirley. If you don’t believe me, let’s wait
and see…”
Roland and Mollie quarreled hard with red faces and even began to make a bet.
Shirley didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She silently left the room and walked around the
apartment.
Roland’s place was not luxurious but simple, but it was cozy. She felt warm and relaxed when
staying in it.
On the piano shelf in the study, there was a family portrait with Roland, his wife and daughter, Shirley,
her parents, and her late grandparents.
Shirley stopped in front of the photo and looked at it for a long time. Her eyes were slightly red.
She was only about ten years old when the photo was taken. Her parents were young and beautiful. That
was the happiest and most hopeful time in her life
But now, she had experienced storms and hell and could no longer return to the carefree and pure days
she used to have with her broken heart.
Shurley at that time, you and Aunt tris were so beautiful that you looked like you weren’t part of
the family. You look completely different from us!”
Mollie had come in and stared at the family portrait.
“Don’t exaggerate. You are also very beautiful now. You really resemble our family members…..”
Shirley turned around and held Mollie’s chubby cheeks, praising Mollie from the bottom of her
heart.
Mollie’s facial features were not amazing but soft and cute. She appeared friendly.
Her appearance would attract many audiences‘ attention, making her a suitable star in showbiz.
“Well, I agree with you. I know I’m beautiful. I will secretly tell you, Shirley. I am a social media influencer
with more than 2 million fans. You can follow me on TikTok, Mollie the Cutie. Let me
show you!”
Mollie said while logging onto her TikTok account, proudly showing it to Shirley.
Shirley saw that Mollie was not bragging. She was really an Internet celebrity with more than 2.2
million fans.
“It’s great!”
Shirley gave Mollie a thumbs–up and said earnestly, “However, you still have to focus on your study.
Seatle Academy of Dramatic Arts is a great school. When your new semester starts, you have to study
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhard, understand?”
“I understand. Seatle Academy of Dramatic Arts only accepted me because of Mr. Stewart. I’ll put in all
my efforts. Otherwise, I will embarrass you and Mr. Stewart.”
Mollie patted her chest and promised seriously.
She asked timidly, “Shirley, are you very sad and disappointed now?”
Shirley was confused. “What am I sad or disappointed about?”
“You loved Mr. Stewart so much before. You left for four years. Now that you’re finally back, he doesn’t
even want to dine with you. He’s so heartless. Anyone would be heartbroken when facing.
this!”
“As you
said, it was all before. I almost forgot what he looked like now. Why would I care?”
“That’s good…”
A bold idea suddenly popped up in Mollie’s head. She whispered into Shirley’s ear
“Is this really okay? Shirley looked embarrassed.
“Of course!”
Mollie put her hands together and said to Shirley, “I’m begging you, Shirley Help me this time. If I
succeed, I will thank you for a lifetime!”
“Okay!”
Shirley couldn’t change Mollie’s mind and could only agree reluctantly.
At the Headquarters of the Stewart Group.
All the employees were holding their phones and watching Shirley’s famous video. They were all
crazy.
“Ah, isn’t our president’s ex–wife who disappeared for a long time? She has finally appeared. She is
really crazy!”
“Geez, I even feel she is handsome. Who can withstand her charm?”
“Can I bet on something? I bet the couple I used to like will show love again.”
Liam was also watching the video. He was extremely excited at this moment and rushed into the
president’s office with his phone in hand.
“Mr. Stewart, you have to see the trending topic. Be quick and take a look…”
