Chapter 320 I’ll Drag You Down
Braden slowly wiped his mouth with a napkin. Suddenly, a teasing smile appeared on his face as he
said to Shirley, “I don’t know why you’re here. Do you still have feelings for me and want us to be
back together?”
“Great! That’ll be great!”
Tracy clapped like a fool and patted Shirley’s shoulder excitedly. “Shirley, why didn’t you say so?
Don’t be shy. You don’t have to ask for my stupid son’s opinion. He’s woodenheaded
“I’ll make arrangements and hold a more grand and romantic wedding for you!”
Howard nodded repeatedly. His wrinkled face was full of gratification. “Good girl, you have finally
thought it through. You and Braden should have been back together a long time ago I and
everyone else in the Stewart family support you two to get married again!”
“Y-you misunderstood!”
Shirley blushed. She swore anxiously, “I didn’t come to marry him. I have already broken all ties with
him. I’d rather be alone for the rest of my life than marry him!”
Everyone was taken aback, and the scene was extremely awkward.
Braden’s lips curved into a cold smile. The look in his eyes was indifferent, and he remained silent.
Howard asked, “Shirley, if you aren’t here to be back together with Braden, then why are you here?”
T…”
Shirley bit her lip, unable to say it out loud.
She wasn’t sure if the Stewart family knew about the existence of the kids. If they knew nothing. wouldn’t
she be asking for trouble if she revealed it like this?
“This is a private matter between him and me. I can’t talk about it in front of everyone.
Shirley stared at Braden and said, “Mr. Stewart, can we talk privately for a few minutes?”
With his chin up as arrogantly as before, Braden said coldly. “Since we’re divorced and you don’t wanna
remarry me, it’s better to keep a distance between us. People talk, and gossip will have a bad impact on

As soon as he finished speaking, Tracy slapped the back of his head hard and snapped, “Silly boy. what
are you pretending for? In the past four years, you’ve been missing her too much to sleep at night. You

Braden was embarrassed. He denied in a cold and stiff voice, “There’s no such thing.”
“How so? I heard it too. I can testify!”
don’t Howard was very enthusiastic and pretended to summon the domestic workers. “If you believe me,
you can ask Julia and Molly. They must have heard it too before…”
“No need!”
Gloom was written all over Braden’s handsome face. He stood up straight and said coldly, “The study
room on the second floor. Make it brief.”
Shirley quickly stood up and followed him to the study room on the second floor.
The moment the door closed, everyone in the room whispered to each other. They were all very
excited and gossipy.
“Are they … really going back together?”
“They still have feelings for each other. It is only a matter of time before we get married again…
Tracy stared in the direction of the study and smiled.
She had waited for this day for a long time. Finally, her silly son wouldn’t cry every night because of
missing Shirley!
“Yes, they deserve each other, and I want a grandchild!”
Tracy grinned from ear to ear and decided to think of a way to help her woodenheaded son…
In the study room, Shirley and Braden were once again alone.
Braden leaned against the red sandalwood desk. His facial features were chiseled and handsome. and
his figure gave an impression of aloofness and superior. He was like a work of art that heaven
had meticulously crafted.
Shirley stood a few steps away from him, unwilling to go forward, as if deliberately keeping a
distance.
“Tell me, what is your purpose?”
Braden asked Shirley with a cold expression.
“There is no one else here. Let’s get straight to the point. Where are they? Hand them over immediately.
They are my heart and soul. I’ll do anything for them. Even if I have to die with your
Stewart family, It doesn’t matter. You better not push me too far…”

Shirley clenched her fists and was determined to fight to the death against this man.
Giving birth to Bennett and Alisha had almost cost Shirley her life. She had spent countless
sleepless nights raising them.
They were not only her life but also the future of the entire Wilson family.
Braden wanted the kids now. He was simply shameless. She would never allow it!
“I don’t understand what you are talking about.”
Braden furrowed his thick eyebrows and asked in confusion, “What do you mean by ‘they’?”
“Stop playing dumb!”
Shirley was about to explode.
She was sure that Braden was playing dumb and pushing her. She rushed forward, grabbed his
shirt collar, and threatened, “I’ll count down to one. If you don’t bring them to me, I’ll break your
neck. You know I’m not bluffing!”
“Break my neck?”
Braden chuckled and said carelessly, “If you want to, go ahead.”
“You think I won’t dare?”
Shirley had a fierce look in her eyes. Numbers popped out one after another through her rose-like

However, before she could move, all the lights in the study room went off.
It was night, and the lights around the villa were also off.
“What happened?”
Shirley panicked.
Did she fall into their trap?
Yes, that must be the case!
Braden had lured her here by taking the kids to kill her secretly. This way, he’d get the kids’ custody.
Thinking of this, Shirley felt a chill down her spine.

“Your Stewart family is really ruthless. But your family underestimated me. You, the only son of the
Stewart family, are still in my hands!”
After finishing speaking, Shirley leaned closer to Braden and held his neck. She ordered, “Don’t
move. If anything happens to me, I’ll drag you down with me!”
“You’re overthinking. The Stewart family isn’t stupid. If they really wanted to harm you, they
wouldn’t do it by themselves.”
Braden said calmly in the dark.
After so many years, this woman still had such a wild imagination. How could she think that the
Stewart family would use such a lame method to harm her?
“Then what’s going on now? Why are all the lights off?”
“What can it be? There’s a power outage!”
A domestic worker’s voice came from outside. “I’m sorry, Mr. Braden, Ms. Wilson. The line in the villa has
malfunctioned. All the lights are off. Please wait a moment. We will immediately send
someone to repair it.”
“Wait a moment?”
Shirley swallowed her saliva and suddenly realized that she and Braden seemed to be too close.
She was alone with him in the dark. How was she supposed to resist his charm?
