Chapter 287 Crimson Pawnshop
Shirley had already walked out of the Parker’s house.
When she heard Ewan’s shout, she stopped in her tracks but did not turn around. She said coldly, “What
are you doing here? Go back and take good care of yourself. You’ve received the lashes. You need a
good rest
now.”
“Shirley, I’m sorry. Don’t be angry with me!”
Ewan’s lips were pale and he looked very weak now. Guilt was written all over his handsome face.
All along, his family had always disliked him getting too close to Shirley, but as long as he didn’t cause
trouble, they didn’t interfere too much with him..
This time, if he hadn’t taken the risk and angered his father, Shirley wouldn’t have suffered the
humiliation. from his family.
“Don’t be silly. I’m not angry with you!”
“Then why did you turn your back to me? Don’t you want to see me again?”
“Of course not…”
Shirley shrugged and sighed. The reason why she did not turn back was not that she was angry with
him, but because she felt too ashamed to face Ewan.
“I should be the one to say sorry. All these years, it was you who helped me so much. You’ve suffered so
much and done a lot for me, but I took it for granted that everything went smoothly…”
Ewan was a little anxious. He took a step forward and said, “Don’t say that. You are my light, and I am
willing to chase you and pay for you. I…”
“Let it end here and now!”
Shirley raised her hand and stopped Ewan’s confession. She said softly, “I owe you too much. It’s time
for me to repay you. I have already thought of a way to get that sum of money. You just need to wait
patiently for my
news.”
“What do you want to do?”
Ewan frowned deeply.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat was a lot of money. Just as his father had said, there were at least 500 million dollars needed. He
really could not think of a way for Shirley to suddenly get such a large sum of money, unless…
“Don’t tell me you want to return your old trade of dealing with those old foxes? That’s too dangerous!”
In the past, he was eager for Shirley to get back to her past life. After all, she had such a high status at
that time and she could do anything if she wanted.
But now, Shirley already had two cute little kids, Bennett and Alisha. A stable and calm life was more
suitable for her.
If Shirley wanted to go back to that kind of life again just for money, he might be so guilty that he would
even like to die!
“What are you thinking about? I promised my grandfather that I would never go back again. Besides, for
the sake of my two kids, I will no longer have anything to do with those guys.”
Shirley directly denied Ewan’s guess.
It was indeed a very tempting thought. As long as she got back to that kind of life, it would be so easy for
her to get the money, but it was too dangerous. It cost her a lot to get rid of that kind of life. Even if she
thought
about it now, she would still feel cold all over. How could she go back to that kind of life again?
“Then…”
“You don’t have to worry about that. Although I’m poor now, I still have some fixed assets. I can solve the
problem.”
“Don’t lie to me again! It’s not like I don’t know about your situation. You don’t have any fixed assets!
You…”
“Alright, don’t worry. You should know my abilities. When have I ever disappointed you?”
“That’s true…”
Shirley’s confidence and calmness made Ewan feel a lot more at ease, but he still couldn’t feel
reassured.
But he also knew Shirley’s personality. If she didn’t want to tell him, he wouldn’t be able to ask anything.
He also knew that as long as the problem wasn’t solved yet, Shirley wouldn’t give up, and she wouldn’t
get along with him normally, so Ewan chose to compromise.
“Shirley, no matter what you want to do, you have to protect yourself. If there is anything you need my
help
with, feel free to ask!”
“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing…”
Shirley waved goodbye and asked before she left. “By the way, do you know the exact location of the
Crimson
Pawnshop?”
Ewan instantly raised his guard. “Why are you asking about this?”
Shirley had a straight face, her expression displeased. “You only need to answer my question.”
“The Crimson Pawnshop is located at the Sutor Wharf. It is not a good place. It is a lawless place that
borders many countries. Anyone who goes there will be in danger…”
Ewan had been there with Steve once or twice before, and it made a very forceful impression on him. It
could be said that the whole experience had been like some hideous nightmare for him.
“Moreover, the Crimson Pawnshop is not the ordinary pawn shop that you think it is. As you know, their
boss, Mr. Quintin, is known as Midnight Ghost. Don’t even think about making a deal with him. That is
equal to making a deal with the devil, and you may lose everything there!”
After hearing this, Shirley didn’t feel afraid at all but was even more interested.
Devil?
She suddenly wanted to go there to see Mr. Quintin.
However, in order to not make Ewan worry, she randomly said, “You are thinking too much. I am always
listening to Bennett mention it, so I asked you… You know me. I have nothing to trade with Mr. Quintin
even if
I want.”
When Shirley got back to the apartment, Bennett had already had dinner and was reading a book in the
study,
with his little feet swaying, looking very cute.
“You’re so good! Ben. You can take care of yourself now.”
Shirley sat next to Bennett and gently patted his head.
“Of course. Since you’ve worked so hard, I can’t cause trouble for you, Mommy.”
In his hand was a physics book written in French. His knowledge had reached the level of university and

was definitely a child prodigy.
However, Shirley felt that Bennett was a little lonely when compared to children of the same age.
However, this kind of day would soon end.
Shirley said excitedly, “Ben, today, the headmaster of Monteria International Kindergarten told me that
they have abolished the bad school rules and welcome you and your sister to go to school. In a few
days, I will
bring your sister and May over, okay?”
She thought that Bennett would be very happy with that news, but Bennett responded very calmly.
“Really? It
seems that the guy is quite powerful.”
Shirley was confused. “Which guy?”
It was so strange that the headmaster suddenly changed his attitude. Could it be that Bennett knew the
reason?
“Eh, Ultraman. I made a wish to Ultraman last night. I didn’t expect Ultraman to satisfy my wish so
quickly.
Ultraman is great!”
Bennett said with a face full of satisfaction.
He now regarded Mr. Quintin as one of Mommy’s reserve husbands. Before Mr. Quintin passed the test,
Bennett did not want to expose him too early to prevent Shirley from getting addicted to him, so Bennett
temporarily referred to Mr. Quintin as Ultraman.
Shirley did not suspect much and said gently, “I see. Ultraman is really great. I also want an Ultraman
who can satisfy my wish!”
“That’s easy. You can just find an omnipotent husband…..”
Bennett hugged her neck and said warmly, “Mommy, don’t worry. I believe your Ultraman will appear
soon!”
It was late at night.
After Bennett fell asleep, Shirley gently walked out of his room.
She came to her room and changed into a light sports suit. Her hair was tied up in a ponytail and she left
the room cleanly.
