Chapter 130 Tied Together Forever
The crowd was in an uproar and looked at the person who spoke.
It was Hester, the popular female star, the movie queen who won the last Goldfish Award.
Hester sat next to Jane, in the same row as Braden and Shirley.
Hester had been very low–key earlier. She sat quietly while watching Braden and Shirley as they
interacted.
In outsiders‘ eyes, Braden and Shirley were at loggerheads, since they were constantly arguing.
However, Hester was an actress, and she was sensitive. She could tell that something was going on
between the two. In fact, it seemed to her that they were flirting.
Hester was so jealous that she was even more determined to defeat Shirley.
Keith quickly walked up to Hester and asked urgently, “What the heck are you talking about? Do you
know where Cherry went?”
“I don’t know where Ms. Tierney went, but I do have a theory about the person who has something
to do with Ms. Tierney’s disappearance…”
Hester brought out the best acting skills she got and frowned. She glanced at Shirley, looking hesitant to
speak.
Her implication could not be more obvious. Everyone looked at Shirley.
Shirley was watching the show aside, and in an instant, she became the focus of everyone, which
made her a bit stunned.
“What’s going on? Why are you all looking at me? I don’t know anything.”
Hester said, “Ms. Wilson, stop pretending. I’ve recorded your confrontation with Ms. Tierney on my
phone.”
Hearing that, the crowd was in an uproar, and people started to discuss.
Keith tensed up in an instant and urged Hester, “If you have proof, show us. Time is running out. If
Cherry is really in trouble, we still have time to save her!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKeith thought, as expected, I’m right. Cherry is in trouble. That’s why she is nowhere to be found.
Shirley was so pissed off being smeared.
Yet she was very calm. She said to Hester, “That’s right. If you have proof, show us. But let me warn you,
if your proof is not solid, or if your words are defamatory, I will immediately sue you and hold you liable.”
Hester was obviously a bit guilty.
She was surprised to see Shirley, the ex wife abandoned by Braden, the rich man, so tough. She figured
that Jane was right. Shirley wasn’t to be messed with.
Yet Hester had been in showbiz for years, and she was a movie queen no less. Therefore, she was quite
capable.
Hester turned on her phone and zoomed in on the photo she had taken. “I happened to pass by the
lounge and saw that Ms. Wilson and Ms. Tierney were arguing. Ms. Wilson wanted to snatch Ms.
Tierney’s necklace, but Ms. Tierney refused to give it to her. The two wrestled together. Ms. Wilson
pushed Ms. Tierney to the ground and even threatened to ruin Ms. Tierney’s wedding…”
The scene was once again in an uproar. Everyone pointed at the photo on Hester’s phone and cursed at
Shirley with vicious words.
“How vicious! How could she do this to the bride?”
“She was abandoned, so she couldn’t stand to see others being happy. She is so sinister.”
Keith questioned Shirley fiercely, “Did you say something to Cherry? Did you piss her off?”
Hearing numerous voices cursing her, Shirley was very calm and explained, “I did talk to Ms. Tierney
earlier, but we did not argue. She insisted on giving me her necklace, and I could not talk her out of it.
That’s what we were doing in the photo. And I have no idea where she is right now.”
The guests were skeptical about her explanation.
Jane tried to make things worse. She said, “Shirley, stop pretending that you are innocent. Everyone
knows how vicious you are. You didn’t even spare Amelie, who was pregnant back then. Why would you
show mercy to the love of Braden’s life?
“I bet that you hold a grudge and have been waiting for an opportunity to take revenge since your know
that Braden still loves Cherry.”
Jane sneered, “Cherry and Braden loved each other before. It’s a fact that no one denies. Why would
she give you that necklace she cared so much about? Besides, the photo showing that you pushed her
is right here. Forget about getting away with it!”
Jane’s words turned those supporting Shirley against Shirley.
Shirley became the target in an instant. Everyone was calling her wicked except … Braden and
Karen.
“Be quiet.”
Karen looked serious, which was a rare thing. He walked towards Shirley slowly.
He took out the ring he had prepared for Cherry and handed it to Braden. “Braden, wear the ring for
Ms. Wilson.”
Braden was a smart man, and he knew what Karen meant in an instant. He nodded.
Then, without saying a word, Braden took Shirley’s hand and was about to put the ring on her ring
finger.
Shirley became nervous at once and stepped back. “What are you doing? You can’t put the ring on
someone’s finger just like that. Take it away!”
“Put it on.”
Braden said overbearingly.
The two entangled as if they were in conflict.
Clang! The bell rang, and the setting sun slowly fell below the sea level.
There was a prophecy in the church. It was said that if a man and a woman put on their rings at sunset,
they would be blessed by the Sea Goddess, and they would live happily ever after.
Braden successfully put the ring on Shirley’s ring finger, and since she used too much force, she
pushed him far away.
Braden took the chance and acted like he was about to fall to the ground, and such a moment was
captured by Karen in time.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe photo taken by Karen was almost identical to Hester’s. It was enough to show that what Shirley said
was not completely impossible.
“See? Everyone, just because two people are entangled with each other doesn’t necessarily mean that
they are arguing. Maybe it is because of a certain object. Therefore, Ms. Wilson might not be
lying.”
Karen explained to everyone while taking Shirley’s side.
Only then did Shirley realize Karen and Braden’s good intentions. She looked at Braden, her face full of
gratitude, but she couldn’t utter a word.
Braden looked aloof and said arrogantly, “No need to thank me. If the prophecy is true, you and I will be
tied together forever. There will be plenty of opportunities to thank me in the future.”
Shirley was speechless.
She thought, I’m so stupid. Have I forgotten what happened before? How could I fantasize about
him?
He is a thorough cunning fox! He wants to keep me by his side with a ring? Nice try!
Hester was surprised that Braden took Shirley’s side completely. And Karen, the groom, did the same.
For a moment, Hester didn’t know what to do.
She was silent for a while and then said, “But I saw Ms. Wilson throw the necklace into the sea. Deep
down, she hates Ms. Tierney. We can’t rule out the possibility that she took the opportunity to harm.
Ms. Tierney.”
Shirley nodded. “I did throw the necklace into the sea because Ms. Tierney herself told me that I
could deal with it however I wanted. I didn’t want to take it, so I threw it away.”
Keith said, “You confess, you wicked woman. Do you know what that necklace means to Cherry?”
Shirley spread her hands. “No.”
She thought, it was a token of love. What’s the big deal? If it did mean so much, why did Cherry
insist on giving it to me?
Braden’s expression became much colder. He said in a low voice, “How could you throw it away?”
Just as Shirley was about to retort him, a staff member ran in excitedly. “Oh no! Somebody is dead!”
