Chapter 378 The One Behind
Shirley’s words were full of hints.
Alina was not stupid. She immediately understood the key to the problem.
“I know that when you divorced Braden, you were very miserable. You were directly kicked out of the
house, and there was no place for you in such a big city…”
When she said this, her hostility toward Shirley was not so deep. Instead, she had sympathy for her.
“That bitch is no pushover. Because of her innocent face, she easily became the winner. All these years,
Braden has been wholeheartedly treating her as if she had been a baby. It pissed me off!”
Alina was angrier. She couldn’t help but beat the steering wheel hard.
There was no doubt that the woman she was talking about was Amelie, who had defeated Shirley!
“It’s useless for you to be angry. Your good friend Braden just likes her. Instead of fighting with me, why
don’t you learn from her? You may pretend to be weak. Or maybe you can find a chance to have sex with
him. You’ll get him if you carry his baby…”
Shirley shared her experience, generously teaching Alina how to win Braden’s heart. She was so
sincere.
It made Alina confused.
Alina frowned and looked at Shirley as if she was a fool.
“Why are you looking at me? This is my experience. It is very useful to deal with a stupid man like
Braden. If you don’t believe it, you can try it, and you will know!”
“You really don’t have any feelings for Braden. You are teaching me how to win his heart?”
“Of course.”

In her opinion, Alina was much easier to deal with than Amelie, who was a good liar.
No matter how arrogant and domineering Alina was, at least, she would not secretly play dirty.
So she hoped that Alina could win!
“Okay, I will believe you this time. First, I will deal with Amelie!”
Alina said fiercely.
She decided to temporarily turn the gun around to Amelie, who was the most threatening.
As for Shirley, it was not too late to deal with her later.
Shirley finally got rid of Alina’s hostility. She immediately focused on the work of the Korita Group.
Now, she no longer had the Seven-colored Glazed Cup, which meant that she didn’t keep her promise to
Rocco. Therefore, she had to quickly think of a way to take back control of the land under the Wilson’s
house.
At that moment, she was sitting in front of her desk and collecting information. When she was at her wit’s
end, Rocco called her.
“Shirley, my friend. We can still be friends. Are you going to cut me off?”
Rocco’s voice was as cunning as always. He sounded exactly like an old fox.
Shirley rolled her eyes silently, and then she said with the same hypocritical tone, “Oh, Rocco, don’t say
that. I have been busy thinking of ways these days to fix this!
“I have been working day and night, and I have dark shadows under my eyes. Why don’t you be a good
friend and help me once… Anyway, there are so many industries under the name of your family, and a
piece of land is not a big deal!”
Rocco laughed and said, “I agree. As your friend, I am too cold. But… I am also helpless. Because the
owner of the land… is not me, but someone else.”
“What?”
Shirley was a little surprised.
Because she investigated it and found that the owner was Rocco.
However, according to Rocco’s words, he was not the real owner.
“Because the identity of the owner is rather special, it is not suitable for him to have the land in his own
name. My company happened to qualify, so I own the land on his behalf. But I actually do not have the
right to decide on the land. Moreover… the person who wants the Seven-colored Glazed Cup is not me,
but him.”
Rocco said mysteriously and deliberately reminded Shirley, “As your friend, I must warn you not to
provoke him. Don’t compete with him.”
“I’m really interested in meeting him. Even you respect him, after all. Whether or not I can have the land
back is not important. It’s just that I like to know big shots to broaden my horizon.”
Shirley was eager.
She was like a child who wanted to play a game after a game.
If the owner was just Rocco, she would feel bored. She did not expect that there would be someone else.
Not afraid, she was even more interested.
“Alright, as your friend, I will help you…”
Rocco paused and slowly said, “I have already arranged a dinner party for you. As for whether you will
succeed or not, it depends on your ability.”
“Thank you very much, Rocco.”
Shirley knew that the real owner must have asked Rocco to do this. It was their plan.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut to get the land as soon as possible to meet the requirements for the living environment of Alisha, she
could only bite the bullet!
Shirley did not go home early. Alisha and Bennett stood by the door, waiting for her.
“Ben, Mommy has not been home today, and Quintin is out of touch. Are they on a date alone?”
Alisha looked up with her white and tender face raised and asked Bennett curiously.
Normally, Quintin would have come to cook delicious food for them, but he had not appeared yet today.
And he didn’t answer the phone.
Alisha felt very unaccustomed. She missed Shirley and also missed Quintin.
“I don’t think so…”
Bennett touched his chin and said seriously, “It is common for Mommy to work overtime till the middle of
the night. If Quintin was with Mommy, he would have taken photos and shown them off. But we didn’t
hear from him. There is only one possibility…”
“Ah, what?”
Alisha asked with a confused expression.
“He must be too lazy to come. He didn’t want to cook for us today, so he turned off his phone and didn’t
give us a chance to disturb him.”
“If you say so, it’s possible. Then we won’t bother him today. Let him have a good rest.”
Alisha said considerately.
After all, these days, Quintin had been taking care of them all the time. It was indeed tiring. It was
reasonable for him to take a break. They should support him.
“I also think that it is time for Quintin to take a break. Otherwise, if he is exhausted, we will be the ones to
lose.”
Bennett said rationally.
Just as they talked about it, the doorbell suddenly rang…
