Chapter 319 Confrontation
The teacher looked a little embarrassed. She looked left and right and said tactfully, “Miss, don’t worry.
Nothing will happen to the two children. They will go back when the time comes. As for the person who
took them away… Forgive me for not daring to reveal his identity.”
When Shirley heard this, she was still calm. She just clenched her fists silently and sneered, “It seems
that this person is important. He openly took my children. Yet as the mother, I have no right
to know who he is.”
“He’s indeed powerful. In Seatle City, few people dare to cross him, so…”
The teacher paused for a few seconds before revealing more useful information. She whispered, “The
two children call him daddy sweetly. They are very affectionate to him, and he… is related to
the Stewart family.”
“Related to the Stewart family?”
Shirley frowned slightly, and her heart skipped a beat. She pondered over the teacher’s hint.
The answer seemed clear now.
The man was a big shot in Seatle City. The kids called him daddy, and he was related to the
Stewart family. Wasn’t it clearly Braden?
No wonder he spoke in a weird tone in the men’s room today, saying that she kept a big secret
from him… It turned out he already knew about the existence of the two children!
It made sense. During this period of time, she had thought Braden was dead, so she hadn’t
concealed the two children’s existence.
In addition, previously, when Bennett came to Braden’s territory to make a scene, the kid must have
attracted his attention. Braden only needed to investigate it to know that Bennett was his son.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMaybe he had met Bennett several times in private. Bennett had said that he wanted to fix Shirley
up with a Seatle City famous chef. Was he referring to Braden?
Thinking of this, Shirley became uneasy.
“Thank you. I know who I should go to now. Thank you for taking care of the two little guys. I will
bring them tomorrow.”
When Shirley finished speaking, she left, her eyes filled with killing intent.
May followed behind, confused. “Ms. Wilson, do you know who took the kids? Why am I still
less? What should we do now? The two little kids are not even five years old. What if
something happens to them?”
“Don’t worry, May. Nothing will happen to the children. I’m going to bring them back.”
After Shirley took May home, she went straight to the Stewart family’s old residence.
Today, the Stewart family’s old residence was very lively. Braden didn’t die. And taking down all the
enemies in one fell swoop was something worth celebrating for the Stewart family.
Howard, Kenny, Tracy, Braden, and the other important people of the Stewart family all gathered in
the old residence to enjoy the family banquet.
Everyone was drinking and chatting happily when a domestic worker came, looking nervous and
hesitant.
“Why are you flustered? If you have something to say, just say it!”
Tracy said impatiently.
The domestic worker looked out of the hall and stammered, “Madam, there’s a guest. Should I
stop her or…”
“How rude!”
Another domestic worker tried to stop Shirley, but she already walked into the hall with a confident
bearing. She jeered, “At least I was once a member of the Stewart family. I even saw the old Mr. Stewart
as my own grandfather. Why are you stopping me from visiting him?”
Howard, who was sitting in the main seat, had a stern expression on his face because he had known
about the rumors about Braden, Shirley, and Antwan. He was about to tell Braden off.
When Howard heard Shirley’s voice, his eyes suddenly lit up. He kindly waved to her. “Shirley, sweet girl,
I was angry and about to teach this silly guy a lesson for you when you came… I’m really glad.
Come here!”
Howard waved to Shirley and pointed to the empty seat next to him. He invited Shirley to sit down.
On his other side was the aloof and arrogant Braden.
A domestic worker brought another set of utensils. Howard was so enthusiastic. Shirley could only
sit down awkwardly.
The originally lively dinner became awkward because of Shirley’s arrival.
The other family members didn’t dare to speak. They were afraid that if they made a mistake and
offended Howard or Braden, their days would be miserable. They could only bow their heads and
eat silently.
Only Tracy was clueless. She lacked perception.
She had been looking forward to Shirley’s return. Now that her ex-daughter-in-law was really there, she
grinned from ear to ear and kept picking food for Shirley.
“Shirley, have you finally come around and decided to come back? Braden will be good. He put on a
good act and deceived you and me. I just beat him up. Are you still mad? If you are, beat him up to
vent your anger!”
Howard said, “Tracy, you have been in the Stewart family for many years. The words you just said
are the most reasonable. If the son is wrong, he deserves a lesson. If the husband is wrong, he
deserves a lesson too. Shirley, don’t hesitate to beat Braden. I support you!”
When everyone saw that the Stewart family’s most authoritative person had spoken, they nodded
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmin agreement. “Yes, yes, he deserves it. Whatever the reason was, he shouldn’t have worried you!”
“Ahem!”
Shirley never expected that things would turn out this way.
In the past, she was insignificant and disliked by the Stewart family. She had no right to express
her opinions, and no one would speak up for her.
However, after she had been apart from Braden for so many years, the Stewart family showed
kindness to her.
Tracy nudged Braden and urged, “Why are you sitting there like a fool? Can’t you see that is choking?
Hurry up and give her a glass of water. As a grown man, you’re so inconsiderate. No
wonder you have been single for so many years!”
your
wife
She deliberately emphasized the words “have been single for so many years.”
Howard also said, “Yes, yes. This kid has been single for many years. There must be a reason. Shirley is
finally back. Don’t make her leave because of your lack of thoughtfulness. Be
gentlemanlike and considerate.”
Everyone echoed, “Yes, yes. A man should be a considerate gentleman. Otherwise, how can he make a
woman happy? Braden should try to change his personality.”
With a darkening face, Braden slammed his fork on the table and said in a stern voice, “Are you done?
What are you trying to do? And you, why did you suddenly come to my home?”
He spoke flintily while staring at Shirley sharply.
Indifference and estrangement were plain on his face as if Shirley was his archenemy.
Shirley flared up. She slammed her fork on the table and asked, “Are you still pretending? You know
why I’m here!”
