Chapter 131 Don’t You Lay a Finger on Her!

Everyone turned to look at the staff.

The man was sweating and out of breath. “Reverse Bay… Ms. Tierney’s shoes are on the edge of the

cliff in Reverse Bay. Maybe she fell into the sea!”

Reverse Bay was a famous scenic spot in this area. It consisted of a small C–shaped cliff, and the terrain

there was dangerous.

“She fell into the sea?”

Keith shouted anxiously, “Cherry doesn’t know how to swim. Everyone, go and help her!”

He rushed out first, followed by Karen and Braden.

Shirley was stunned for a second and followed along with the other curious guests.

The seawater in Reverse Bay was relatively calm. Unfortunately, the sun had set, and the light was kind

of dim, so they could not see Cherry.

Looking at the neatly arranged wedding shoes on the edge of the cliff, Shirley speculated, “Could it be

that Ms. Tierney felt that wearing high heels was too tiring, so she deliberately took them off and placed

them here? Maybe she is still enjoying the view somewhere near here.”

“How is that possible?”

Hester wouldn’t give Shirley a break whatsoever. She said suggestively, “As everyone knows, Ms.

Tierney is a reasonable person. It’s her wedding today. Instead of showing up, she went around to enjoy

the view, leaving everyone worried about her. Does that sound right to you?

“Ms. Wilson, maybe it is you that has a guilty conscience. You want to stall, divert our attention, and then

your ulterior motive can be achieved.”

Shirley was pissed off. She coldly asked, “And what ulterior motive would that be? How come I didn’t

even know about that?”

“If you ask me, I’d say that you pushed Ms. Tierney into the sea. If Ms. Tierney dies, you will be the most

suspicious one!”

Hester’s words instantly stirred up intense discussion.

“That’s right! I’m sure it’s her!”

Sandra Tierney, Cherry’s mother, pounced at Shirley with red eyes, beating Shirley, and said, “You

vicious woman! Why did you harm my girl? Give me my daughter back!”

Sandra was a mother, so Shirley understood how anxious Sandra was right now. Therefore, Shirley did

not get angry or resist. She just spread her hands helplessly. “You got me. Why did I harm your

girl? I have no idea. I have no reason to harm her at all. Why would I be a murderer for no reason?”

Sandra had already lost her mind. She was completely unreasonable and knew nothing but vent her

emotions uncontrollably.

“I don’t care. It is you who harmed her! The photo is right there! You hit my girl, and you pushed her into

the sea… A life for a life! I want you to pay with your life!”

She punched Shirley non–stop, and the latter subconsciously protected her belly and retorted bluntly,

“I’m warning you. If you don’t stop, there will be consequences!”

Such words caused more criticism.

The crowd believed that Shirley was the bad woman who pushed Cherry into the sea. They kept cursing

her, and some even ran up to help Sandra.

“Call the police! Arrest this poisonous woman!”

“What are you waiting for? Beat her! Beat her to death!”

Cherry’s friends and relatives raised their fists, looking like they were going to beat Shirley to

death on the spot.

Shirley couldn’t take it anymore and clenched her fists, ready to teach these people a lesson.

“Don’t you lay a finger on her!”

Braden pulled Shirley behind him and looked coldly at the few ones who were ready to attack her He

exuded a solemn aura that made others shudder.

Sandra shouted, snapping, “Braden, get out of the way. You used to go out with Cherry. You shouldn’t be

protecting the murderer who killed her!”

Braden’s perfect face was utterly cold as he said ruthlessly, “Don’t jump to conclusion without proof. She

is mine, and no one gets to lay their fingers on her.”

Keith was also certain that it was Shirley who had harmed Cherry. He glared at Braden. “What proof do

you need when it’s so obvious? You’re divorced. What does she have to do with you? Why are you

so protective of her?”

“We were married for four years. Do you think we will be strangers?”

Braden’s cold eyes were firm, and the words he said should have sounded absurd, but when it was he

who said them, they made sense.

Shirley stood behind him with mixed feelings.

She thought, I didn’t expect him to defend me in front of so many people, and I certainly didn’t expect

him to say such things.

Isn’t he the coldest, most ruthless man who despises our four years of marriage the most? Then how to

explain his words and actions now?

Karen said, “Braden is right. There is no evidence showing that Ms. Wilson pushed Cherry into the

sea. We shouldn’t speculate or get violent. Instead, we should spread out and search for Cherry along

the beach.”

The others found his words reasonable, so they walked along the beach and shouted Cherry’s name,

searching the whole vast area.

Braden was one of them, followed by Shirley.

He defended her earlier, which moved her a bit. She had been looking for a chance to say thank you

to him.

Yet she could tell that he, too, was anxious. He walked hurriedly, and he looked worried.

She thought, sure enough, Cherry meant a lot to him. In other words, just because he didn’t snatch

her away from her wedding didn’t mean that he had already moved on.

“Braden…”

Shirley quickened her pace, walking side by side with him.

Right now, Braden didn’t bother thinking about anything else. He just wanted to find Cherry as soon as

possible. Therefore, he said impatiently and coldly, “Yeah?”

His coldness made Shirley awkward. She whispered, “Thank you… for standing by me under all

that pressure back then.”

“No need to thank me.”

Braden scanned the sea with his eyes. He said without even looking at Shirley, “If it was you who harmed

her, I would be the first to go after you.”

Shirley didn’t say anything.

She went gloomy, and her heart sank.

She thought self–mockingly, I think too highly of myself. I am too sentimental. He simply does me a favor

by helping me, and I mistake it as he still has feelings for me.

Wake up, Shirley. If he indeed had any feelings for you, why would he force you to divorce together

with his mistress?

Suddenly, Braden darted to the sea on his right ahead and then swam as fast as he could, swaying his

arms and legs drastically.

“Ah! There! I see her! I think it’s her!”

Someone shouted.

Shirley looked in that direction, and sure enough, she saw a vague figure floating on the sea. It was

Cherry that everyone was searching for.

Cherry had been swept further and further out into the deep, dangerous waters.

Braden was swimming in that direction from the shallow water area, and he was also in a very

dangerous situation.

The crowd was too nervous to breathe, their hearts in their mouths.

If Braden and Cherry encountered a big wave right now, chances were, neither of them could make

it back.

“Come back!”

Shirley could no longer control herself and shouted, “Braden, come back here! Do you want to die?”
