Chapter 23 He Loved Mrs. Stewart So Much
Shirley could just leave. After more than 20 days, she and he would divorce, and they would have any
relationship.
Even if he really died tonight, as the first heir to the inheritance, she could get a lot of property!
But in the end, she could not be hardened and returned to the venue.
She had no choice. That cold blooded scumbag was the biological father of the two children in her
womb. If the children found that she didn’t save him, they might hate her!
The atmosphere at the venue had reached a fever pitch.
“Seven million dollars!”
“Eight million dollars!”
“Nine million dollars!”
Celebrities from all walks of life at the venue were all excitedly raising their paddles to bid for the
auction.
The focus of the auction was the wedding ring that Shirley just took off.
When she returned to her seat, she heard someone bid ten million dollars!
“This is too exaggerated!”
She remembered that the wedding ring was only five to six million dollars.
Sure enough, rich people were all stupid people with a lot of money!
She reached for her drink, ready to suppress her shock.
Then, she happened to touch Braden’s hand.
His fingers were slightly cold, just like his handsome and cold face.
“Tonight, you really stole the limelight…”
Braden looked at Shirley and said coldly, “I didn’t know that you are such a generous person. You are
willing to donate the ring you have worn for four years!”
Shirley picked up the drink, took a sip calmly, and said with a smile, “Mr. Stewart doesn’t need to mock
me. I just want to make the best use of it.”
Braden’s eyes became colder, and there was almost uncontrollable anger in his eyes.
Shirley felt that if there were only the two of them, he would tear her apart!
“Mr. Stewart, as you were my husband, I suggest you never go on stage later. Someone will kill
you.”
Shirley lowered her voice and reminded Braden.
She checked around the venue just now but found no suspicious person.
He was in the light, but the enemy was in the dark. It was too dangerous for him!
Braden was vigilant. He squinted his eyes slightly and stared at her. “What are you planning?”
“I just kindly remind you. It won’t be harmful if you pick my brain sometimes!”
There was only so much she could say.
“Sixteen million dollars!”
“Seventeen million dollars!”
“Eighteen million dollars!”
The auction was still going on, and the price was getting more and more outrageous, approaching
20 million dollars.
Among them, Ewan raised his paddle most actively.
The Parker family was rich, and as the youngest son of Steve, he was the most favored in the family.
So he held up his paddle at will, regardless of the price.
“Nineteen million dollars!”
Ewan raised his paddle again.
This time, no one dared to follow.
This ring itself was not worth that much money at all. The only valuable thing was that it was the
“wedding ring” of Mrs. Stewart.
“Nineteen million once!”
“Nineteen million twice!”
The auctioneer blushed with excitement and said to the crowd, “Nineteen million twice. Is there anyone
who wants to raise the paddle?”
“This ring is of great significance. It is the only one in the world. Are you sure you don’t want to raise
the paddle?”
“Well, nineteen million…”
When the auctioneer was about to drop the gavel, Braden calmly raised his paddle and said
expressionlessly, “Twenty million!”
“Boom!”
Everyone was shocked.
Shirley was also shocked.
This guy… was insane?
They were about to divorce. Why did he bid 20 million dollars for their wedding ring?
Although Stewart Group was rich, he couldn’t be so extravagant!
“True love. This is true love!”
“Anyway, the ring will still belong to his wife!”
“Mr. Stewart loves his wife so much. Unlike what was rumored, they love each other. How
touching!”
The crowd was moved to tears by Braden’s generosity.
Sitting in the second row, Amelie clenched her fingers and stared at Shirley, with her eyes full of
hatred!
“However, I wonder if Mr. Parker will raise the paddle or not.”
Everyone looked at Ewan in unison.
At this moment, Mr. Parker shrugged his shoulders and said, “I give up!”
“Twenty million once!”
“Twenty million twice!”
“Twenty million three times!”
“Congratulations, Mr. Braden, the wedding ring donated by your wife is now yours. Please come to
the stage to give a speech!”
The auctioneer held the microphone and announced excitedly.
Braden’s handsome face was cold.
Why did he feel that he was fooled by Shirley and Ewan? What was worse, he was willing to be the
fool.
The lights gathered on Braden.
He stood up, buttoned his suit with his long fingers, and was about to go on stage.
Shirley grabbed him and shook her head at him. “Don’t go up!”
If he went up, he would be an easy target for the person who wanted to kill him!
However, Braden didn’t take it seriously.
Shirley had no choice. She held his arm. “Well, I’ll go up with you!”
The two went up to the stage together.
Under the spotlight, they looked like a perfect match.
The auctioneer mobilized the atmosphere, talking about her and Braden’s affairs, and the people
below followed suit.
Shirley had no intention of responding.
She scanned everyone sharply, trying to find out the person.
But everyone looked normal, and there was no suspicion.
Maybe she heard it wrong just now, or… it was just a prank?
At this time, she heard the auctioneer say, “Congratulations, Mr. Stewart. You get this ring, spending 20
million dollars. Let our ritual girl hand over the diamond ring to Mr. Stewart.”
The tall and beautiful ritual girl in a white dress gracefully brought the exhibition box with the
diamond ring to Braden.
“Mr. Stewart, please put the diamond ring on your wife’s ring finger again. All of us are witnesses to the
consistent and beautiful love between Mr. Stewart and Mrs. Stewart!”
The auctioneer suddenly became the wedding host as if he was hosting the wedding between
Braden and Shirley.
The crowd at the scene also became enthusiastic as if they were here to attend the wedding of
Braden and Shirley.
The sensation was similar to that of their real wedding four years ago.
Braden originally had that cold face, without any expression.
He was a fool who spent 20 million getting back what belonged to him!
However, since he was requested, for the sake of the overall situation, he was still willing to cooperate.
“It’s a great honor for me to have you to witness the unchanging love between my wife and me. I
think this diamond ring belongs to the ring finger of my wife’s right hand.”
After he finished speaking, he held the ring, looked at Shirley in a gentlemanly manner, and tried to put
it back on her finger.
“Well!”
Feeling embarrassed, Shirley kept a fake smile and stood stiffly.
Was it necessary for him to do so much?
She didn’t stretch out her right hand for a long time, and while smirking, she gritted her teeth and said,
“I don’t think it’s necessary.”
“Why not? Without this ring, how can I keep you beside me forever?”
Braden’s love words came out quickly.
He really showed that as long he wasn’t embarrassed, everything would be fine.
The crowd became more excited, and they almost shouted, “Marry him. Marry him. Marry him.”
Shirley was forced to stretch out her right hand. She said in the same artificial tone, “Then… Mr.
Stewart, please put the ring on my finger!”
Hmph, then, which of them would feel more awkward?
Anyway, even though she wore it now, she could take it off later. It was no big deal.
Braden held Shirley’s hand gracefully and put the ring on her finger gently.
The picture was very beautiful and romantic as if they were shooting a scene of a drama…
It was also at this time that Shirley keenly discovered that there was something wrong with the ritual girl
holding the exhibition box.
“Be careful!”
When she saw the ritual girl taking out a small gun, she instinctively pulled Braden behind her.
She reacted quickly and kicked the gun out of the ritual girl’s hand with a kick.
But it couldn’t be faster than a bullet.
“Bang!” Shirley’s arm was scratched by a stray bullet, bleeding profusely.
“Ah! Someone was shot!”
The scene was chaotic, and everyone ran in all directions.
“Damn it. You dare to spoil my plan. I’ll kill you!”
As the ritual girl who was kicked to the ground spoke in a man’s voice, he looked at Shirley viciously
and pulled out another gun.
“Braden, it’s your time to die. The Stewart family is finished!”
At the same time, the other three ritual girls also rushed toward them viciously. They were in great
danger!
“These people are coming for you. You go first!”
Shirley covered Braden behind him and urged him coldly.
“You are hurt!”
Braden stood still, and all his attention was on her bloody arm.
It was just like what had popped out of his elder brother’s chest three months ago!
Seeing this, he felt that he was getting more and more sick and dizzy… novelbin
Then, he fell to the ground directly.
There was the sound of gunshots in his ears, and in his dazed vision, Shirley seemed to have been
shot again…
“Shirley!”
He struggled to get up, but eventually, his vision went dark, and he lost consciousness completely.
