Chapter 304 A Second-Hand Woman
As he heard Nancy’s “good idea”, Ewan’s furrowed brows finally relaxed a little.
At that time, Steve came to Ewan’s room. Like a general who had won a battle, Steve was very proud.
“Ewan, how do you feel now? Can you still move?”
Steve smiled. Apparently, he was in a good mood.
Ewan’s expression was cold. He didn’t even want to look at Steve. He said angrily, “Thank you, father, for
showing mercy. I can still move.”
“Oh, judging from your tone, you are still mad at me. I did it for your own good. You are my son. You can
get all kinds of women. Why do you have to like a divorced woman?
“Fortunately, that divorced woman still has some conscience. She actually collected enough money you
owe the bank. You are indeed my son. You definitely got the charm from me…”
When Steve said that, he proudly patted Ewan on the shoulder.
Ewan said nothing.
There was still a deep lash mark on Ewan’s shoulder, and he immediately grimaced in pain, speechless.
Nancy quickly defended Ewan and said angrily, “Dad, you still have the nerve to say it. Ewan has been
pursuing Shirley for so many years. It’s not easy for Shirley to open up her heart. But you… How could
you break them up? How could you be so cruel? It’s even more ruthless than breaking up Romeo and
Juliet!
“And now you admit that Ewan is your son. Before, you called him your unfilial son and threatened to
beat him to death. Sure enough, now the money is in the account. It seems that the outside world said
that our family is a nouveau riche. I think they are right! We are money-grubbers!”
“Shut up, you damned girl. Do you have to be against me every day?”
Steve was scolded by Nancy until his face turned red. But he really doted on Nancy. He was not really
angry. Instead, he happily said, “This is called killing two birds with one stone. I helped your brother solve
the debt crisis and cut off the wrong relationship for him. I did everything for him! What do you know…”
After he finished his words, Steve looked at Ewan, his expression becoming a bit more serious, and he
said coldly, “I thinkncy has already explained the situation to you very clearly. In the future, if you dare to
go. near that divorced woman again, she will be the punished one.”
Ewan snorted coldly. There was no longer any respect in his eyes as he looked at Steve. There was only
deep disappointment and indifference. “You’ve never said no to me as I grew up. Can you tell me why
you have to
be so ruthless in this matter? Why can all the women in the world be allowed but not her?”
“Since you want to know, then I will tell you everything today…”
Steve took a deep breath, his gaze incomparably cold. “First, the Parker family can accept poor women,
but
not a second-hand woman that has been kicked out. Second, even if the Parker family can accept a
second-hand woman, she can’t be the second-hand woman that the Stewart family abandoned. Third,
Shirley
is an ominous woman with a curse on her. The Parker family can’t afford the risk of being destroyed.
“If you are just fooling around, I can turn a blind eye to it, but you are obviously trapped now. If you
continue, the Parker family will be destroyed by you. I have to separate you two!”
“Bullshit!”
Ewan was naturally unconvinced. Just as he was about to quarrel with Steve, Nancy winked at him.
Ewan took a deep breath and suppressed the anger. He said to Steve, “However, since it has come to

can promise you that I will cut off my relationship with Shirley and never look for her again. It’s just that |
have a condition.”
Steve felt that Ewan was reasonable and had not yet lost his mind, so he said frankly, “What condition?
Tell
me.”
“All these years, I have had a deep relationship with Shirley, especially the Korita Group. I started the
company with her. To be exact, the Korita Group took many years of her hard work. I only invested
money in
1. If I really have to cut her off, the Korita Group must be divided well. Either it belongs to her, or it
belongs to
me…..”
Ewan paused and observed Steve’s expression. He probed, “If it belongs to me, then I will give her
money. If it
belongs to her, I have no face to ask her for money. You see…”
Steve waved his hand with a look of disdain. “I heard that the company has always been in debt. No
matter
how much you try, you won’t be able to turn it around. As long as you promise me that you won’t tangle
with
her, you can let her have the company.”
In Steve’s opinion, the Korita Group was a small workshop that Ewan had set up for Shirley. Although the
Parker family had initially paid and occupied 80% of the shares, they were only negative assets. If they
left
early, they would lose a bit less.
“Thank you for agreeing so quickly, but Cecelia is now the third largest shareholder of the Korita Group.
Can
she agree?”
Ewan sighed and said worriedly, “If Cecelia doesn’t withdraw, the Parker family will always be involved
with the Korita Group. Then how can I break up with Shirley?”
“I’ll persuad
celia. It’s a company that has lost money for years. I don’t understand why she has been
guarding it all the time. It’s a waste of time!”
Steve’s words were full of disdain for the Korita Group.
Ewan looked at Nancy silently, both of them relieved.
It was already the middle of the night after Shirley left the Parker’s house.
She had originally planned to go home directly, but for some reason, she drove all the way to the
Stewart’s
house.
This was the place where she had lived for four years. It was her and Braden’s home.
Although this so-called “home” was only a home in her concept. For Braden, he probably went there
even less
than the number of times he went to the hotel. It was not even considered a “home”!
Shirley originally thought that after she left and Braden passed away, this house would become a
deserted
house, and she couldn’t help but feel sad.
But what surprised her was that the house was brightly lit, and she could see a man’s tall figure at the
window on the second floor.
Shirley’s heart suddenly tightened. Could it be…
She held her breath and approached the house step by step. Deep in her heart, she was full of
expectation.
She still hadn’t completely accepted the fact that Braden had passed away, so she guessed that the
person
in the house might be Braden.
Shirley thought Braden was playing a game with her, pretending to be dead to test her heart.
Others might not be so weird, but he, Braden, was a freak. What could he not do?
Shirley came to the front door of the house and entered the password according to her memory. She
actually
opened the door.
Shirley was inexplicably excited, her heart beating wildly. She gently pushed open the door and walked
towards the hall step by step…
Chapter 305 More Torture, More Love
The Stewart’s house was empty. The garden was cold and cheerless, and the hall was not lit. The entire
house was dark, and the air exuded a smell of decay.
Only Braden’s room on the second floor was lit with a dim yellow light, and a tall figure was reflected by
the
window
Shirley walked into the hall, followed the rotating stairs, and quietly went to the second floor.
Braden’s door was slightly closed, and through the gap, she could clearly see a man standing by the
window.
However, she could only see the man’s tall, straight, and cold back.
If it wasn’t Braden, then who could it be?
At that moment, Shirley once again felt her blood burning.
Without hesitation, she rushed forward and pushed the door open. “Braden, you are still alive!”
The man by the window slowly turned around, his lips curved, and he looked at Shirley with a sinister
look.
He spread out his hands and said, “Shirley, what a pity. I let you down. I am not the man you think about
day
and night.”
“Antwan, why… Why are you here?”
The burning blood in Shirley’s heart quickly cooled down when she saw the man’s face clearly.
She held her forehead with her fingers and buried her head in embarrassment, wishing she could just
disappear into thin air.
Gosh, I have recognized the wrong person again.
“After tomorrow, I will replace my high and mighty cousin Braden and take the position of president of the
Stewart Group. At the same time, I will accept everything that he once had. Tonight, I came to feel his
life.
Isn’t it a matter of course?”
There was a faint smile on Antwan’s handsome face. This smile was a smile of victory, a smile that
looked
down on everything.

Shirley was plicably angry and scolded, “What’s there to be proud of? You are just a despicable person,
taking advantage of the chaos in the Stewart Group. You came to usurp power. What kind of hero are
you?”
The smile on Antwan’s lips deepened. He shrugged indifferently. “Who told you that I am going to be a
hero? I am a despicable person. You have a very clear view of me. It seems that you have paid a lot of
attention to
me…”
Antwan’s eyes were a bit frivolous. He continued, “Since ancient times, heroes have been so miserable.
They were just like my short-lived cousin Braden. When he was alive, he was high and mighty, and could
not be reached. He had a good reputation of decent prestige. When he died, he was humiliated and
slandered. He became a street rat that everyone spat on. What could he do?”
When Shirley heard Antwan insult Braden like that, it was as if she had been insulted. She couldn’t help
but get angry. “Look at your villainous look. You won’t last long, and when karma comes, you’ll only be
worse off
than Braden!”
“Shirley, don’t be so agitated. Braden has already passed away. Why are you still protecting him? Back
then, he kicked you out for a mistress and made you the laughing stock of the entire Seatle City. Have
you forgotten it all? When have you become so virtuous? How disappointing…”
Antwan walked step by step towards Shirley. When he was so close to Shirley, he used his long fingers
to hold Shirley’s chin and said with a forced smile, “So what if I am down? As long as I have a good life,
as long as I get what he once got, I will die without regrets!”
“Then you can go to hell now!”
Shirley turned her hand back and pinned Antwan’s long arm back on his back, pressing him against the
wall
and exerting force.
She thought that Antwan would kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, but he was a madman. Instead,
he became even more excited and revealed a provocative smile. “Come on, harder. It’s best to break my
arm. That way, I will have a legitimate reason to rely on you for the rest of my life!”
Shirley was speechless. She was furious and said, “Antwan, do you have a masochistic tendency? Do
you feel
uncomfortable every time I don’t torture you?”
“That’s right. My greatest pleasure is for you to torture me. The more you torture me, the more I love
you!”
“You are crazy!”
Shirley had goosebumps and could only let Antwan go.
If she really crippled Antwan, she would be entangled by him!
“I knew it. Shirley, you still care about me. You can’t bear to hurt me…”
Antwan twisted his arm which was almost dislocated. He continued to speak glibly, not afraid of anything,
challenging the limits of Shirley’s patience.
Shirley trie er best to calm down and asked, “Do you really want to replace Braden and take away what
originally belonged to him?”
“Braden has already become history. The Stewart Group can’t run without a leader. If I take over the
Stewart
Group now, it will be like a big favor. How can it be called taking away?”
“Hmph, that’s only your wishful thinking. Even if Braden isn’t here, the old Mr. Stewart and his brother will
not let you do whatever you want. I advise you to give up on this idea as soon as possible so that you
won’t end up at a dead end!”
Shirley had always felt that the Stewart Group would not let Antwan get the company so easily. Howard
had worked hard for the company, so how could he give up for nothing?
