Chapter 54 The Older, the Wiser

“You fail to appreciate others‘ kindness. What a paranoid!”

Shirley angrily walked out of the Reflection Room and couldn’t help but curse.

She thought, I’m so stupid. I shouldn’t have been kind to him whatsoever! Why bother?

Instead of coming here, I should have gone back, taken a bath, and watched a show while eating and d rinking How nice would that be?

Aspen was waiting at the side. When she saw Shirley walk out of the Reflection Room, she hurriedly w ent forward to greet Shirley. Aspen said, “Mrs. Stewart, why are you out so soon?”

“He is so ungrateful and sarcastic He pisses me off. Why should I stay inside?”

“Well… I’m afraid that won’t do.”

Aspen continued to plead humbly, “You know Mr. Braden. He can be harsh sometimes, but he doesn’t have any bad intentions. Please, Mrs. Stewart. You can’t quit. You have to urge him to eat and apply ointment to his wound. Otherwise, he won’t make it through the night.”

“No!”

Shirley pulled a long face, gritted her teeth, and said angrily, “He said it himself. Whether he lived or die d was none of my business!”

“Oh, no! Mr. Braden fell to the ground…”

Aspen shouted anxiously, “Mrs. Stewart, help… If you do nothing, he will die!”

Shirley closed her eyes, stamped her foot, and turned back.

She thought, Braden, I must have owed you in my previous life!

Braden indeed fell to the ground, his forehead covered in a cold sweat. He was in severe pain because of the whipping.

“What are you doing back here? Get out!”

Braden was already very weak, but he still played rough stubbornly.

“Shut up!”

Without saying anything else, Shirley directly ripped off Braden’s clothes.

Braden’s back was broad. His shoulder blades were full of strength, his muscles were perfectly lined, a nd his tan had a broken beauty with a few whiplash marks.

Shirley coughed.

At the sight of his naked upper body, Shirley couldn’t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. She coughed to hide her fluster

Braden was weak, but his mind was clear, and his eyes were sharp. He could tell easily that Shirley wa s drooling over him, so he said coldly, “Woman, seriously? You can’t forget the feeling of touching and pinching me last time, so you want to take advantage of me again?”

“What a talkative narcissist!”

Shirley’s expression changed a few times, and she was so pissed off that she slathered a large lump of ointment on his wound.

Braden frowned deeply from the sharp pain and broke out in cold sweat. But soon, he was enveloped b y a burst of coolness, and the pain gradually eased. He was suffering less.

Shirley continued to apply the ointment for him a bit gentler

Braden’s furrowed brows slowly relaxed.

Her fingers were slender and soft. When she stroked his back, he felt that she was using a feather to brush his body. The itchy feeling reached the bottom of his heart…

“Great! Mr. Braden rarely looks so meek. Sure enough, Mrs. Stewart is his cure.”

hid outside the Reflection Room, peeked inside, and couldn’t help but mutter to herself.

In her eyes, the scene right in front of her now was the most intimate, harmonious moment of Braden’s and Shirley’s four years of marriage. She was almost moved to tears.

Suddenly, Aspen felt a strong sense of oppression above her head.

She looked back and almost had a heart attack.

“Mr. Stewart.”

Howard asked with a cold face, “What are you doing sneaking around in the middle of the night?”

“Mr. Stewart, it’s not what you think. Mrs. Stewart…”

Aspen stuttered and wanted to explain.

However, Howard looked away and said seriously, “I don’t know what you’re trying to say. Well, I

didn’t see anything.

After he finished speaking, Howard put his hands behind his back and left as if nothing had happened.

Also, there was an obvious smile at the corner of his mouth.

Only then did Aspen realize something-

She thought, Mr Stewart, you are so smart!

You help the couple patch things up by making Mr. Braden suffer physically. You are the master of ruse s! Sure enough, the older, the wiser

A week had passed.

After getting a divorce, Shirley quickly adapted to her life of being a single woman. She devoted her tim e to the company during the day and had all kinds of fun at night. She enjoyed her life carefreely a lot.

Today, she finally managed to sign a cooperation contract with the Burman Group for the new quarter

Jack readily agreed to Shirley’s request. He would invest 500 million dollars in Korita Group for the sake year profit must exceed 8 billion dollars. Otherwise, he would receive 30% of Korita Group’s shares as compensation according to

the contract.

When Ewan saw the contract, he was in a very bad mood.

“How cunning Jack is! We did him such a huge favor 1 thought he would be a bit more sincere even just

He looked at Shirley with a face full of confusion, wishing to tear the contract apart. “Shirley, this is so hu deal! Who gives him the nerve to look down on us?”

However, Shirley was in a good mood. She smiled and said, “If we lose, the only thing we will lose is 30%

“Sincere my ass! Korita Group is just an unformed company. They have no products at all. Do you have

Ewan held his forehead with a worried expression. “The world’s three largest electronics companies ma

Shirley raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled confidently, “Once I bet, I never lose.”

If it were others, they might sound conceited and frivolous. However, when those words came from Shirley

“Well, I guess you’re right. You’re Shirley, my boss, and the badass that those cunning foxes want so badly to work for them. You’ve been

As Shirley’s senior fan, Ewan was full of admiration, but he quickly added, “Of course, except for your marriage with Braden.”

Shirley was so pissed off.

She thought, good for you, Ewan! You always manage to say the wrong thing!

Though your words are unpleasant to hear, I have to admit that you are not wrong.

I have never lost in my life, and my marriage with Braden is the only exception. It costs me a lot. I don’t w

“Anyway, the successful cooperation between us and the Burman Group will be a huge blow for the Stew Group. I’m sure that deadpan is now furious…!

Ewan couldn’t stop gloating. He said with great anticipation, “I wonder what his expression will be once wife, who he loathes so much, is actually Korita Group’s boss. I bet he’ll snap!”

At the same time, the atmosphere was cold and tense in the CEO’s office of the Stewart Group.

Liam Steele stared at the thick stack of documents in Braden’s hand and said in trepidation, “Mr Stewart, we didn’t expect your wife to do suc
