Chapter 134 The Target of Public Criticism
“I…”
Cherry was still weak. She looked at the crowd with her eyes flickering as if she had something
difficult to say.
Hester continued to fan the flames. “I saw that you had an argument with Ms. Wilson. Is Ms. Wilson the
one to meet you?” As Hester asked, she implied that Shirley was behind the matter.
Hester wondered if her meaning was obvious enough. She tried hard not to say it was Shirley who
pushed Cherry into the sea directly.
Working in the entertainment industry for many years, Hester knew how to make use of others to achieve
her goals clearly.
It was indeed a clever method. She could handle her enemies without ruining her reputation at all.
“Yes!”
Sandra held onto Cherry’s shoulders excitedly and said, “Cherry, don’t be afraid. Tell me. Did Shirley
push you into the sea? What a vicious woman she is! If she dared to hurt you, your dad and I wouldn’t let
her off easily.”
Cherry bit her lips, showing a timid look, and whispered, “Mom, I am fine now. Let bygones be bygones,
okay? Ms. Wilson and I are good friends. I believe that she didn’t mean to hurt me.”
She had wanted to say that she wasn’t pushed into the sea. Actually, she felt heartbroken because of
Braden and committed suicide by jumping into the sea.
However, she was jealous when she saw Braden and Shirley holding hands. So, she put the blame on
Shirley on purpose.
Cherry was sure that Braden wouldn’t be with a vicious murderer like Shirley no matter how much
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthe loved her.
As Cherry expected, Braden released Shirley’s hand.
He gave Shirley a cold look and questioned her in an indifferent voice, “What happened?”
All those present covered their mouths in disbelief.
“I didn’t know Shirley was this malicious. Did she indeed want to kill Cherry?”
Hearing the murmurs from the crowd, Shirley was lost for word for a while. She became the target of
public criticism again for no reason.
She pointed at Cherry and said, “You’d better make it clear to everyone. What do you mean by those
words? I didn’t do anything to you, okay? Are you trying to slander me?”
Cherry wore a frightened expression, and she dodged backward. Since she had just escaped death, she
looked particularly pitiful. She cried out, “Ms. Wilson, calm down. I know what you have done, but I don’t
want to pursue it any further. Well, everyone, I lost balance and fell into the sea by
myself.”
Shirley found it unbelievable and could hardly control her temper. She rushed toward Cherry and
shouted in anger, “Are you crazy? Don’t try to deceive others anymore! If you want to accuse me of
pushing you into the sea, you can speak it out directly. Then, I will sue you for spoiling my reputation.
That’s fair. Do you think so? Stop framing me with such an innocent look!”
Shirley realized that she had misjudged Cherry.
When Shirley got the necklace from Cherry, she thought that Cherry was a smart woman, who had a
broad mind and had given Braden up completely.
It turned out that Shirley was wrong. For the sake of Braden, Cherry even had dirt on Shirley.
“Ms. Wilson, please don’t make things difficult for me anymore. Didn’t you hear my words? I won’t pursue
the matter anymore. Alright, it has nothing to do with you. Everyone, let’s call it a day.”
Cherry cried as she held Sandra’s hand and said, “Mother, I feel dizzy and uncomfortable. I want to
sleep.”
“You were almost drowned. It’s natural that you feel uncomfortable. I’ll take you to the hospital
right now.”
After that, Sandra said to Karen, “You will be Cherry’s husband soon. You need to take her to the
hospital. She can’t stay here anymore. Otherwise, she probably will be in danger again.”
Karen frowned and said, “I see. I have an announcement to make. The wedding between me and Cherry
is canceled. We are no longer in a relationship from now on. Everyone, I’m sorry to waste your time
today. Don’t worry. The Whelan family will make up for your losses later.”
The beach was in an uproar.
“Karen, what nonsense are you talking about? How could you cancel the wedding and break up with
Cherry? Don’t you think it’s too cruel? You’re making a joke, right?”
Keith shouted to Karen in excitement.
Karen didn’t say anything. He carried Cherry and left.
A group of people followed behind them and left without caring about anything else.
On the beach, only Braden, Shirley, and Hester were left.
Hester said hypocritically, “Ms. Wilson, I was just telling the truth. You won’t blame me, will you?”
Shirley sneered, “Ms. Worley, you are smarter than I thought. Well, I can tell that you hate me and
want to put me in trouble. It’s obvious. Are you very happy now? However, I have a question. I have no
enmity with you. Why do you keep dealing with me? What’s the matter with you?”
With one hand on her chest, Hester said with an innocent face, “Ms. Wilson, don’t get me wrong. I
was just worried about Ms. Tierney. Is it wrong to tell the truth?”
How could Shirley not see through Hester’s thoughts? Shirley said directly, “Ms. Worley, you are a
celebrity. If you are interested in my ex–husband, why don’t you just pursue him? There is no point. in
playing these dirty tricks. Don’t try to slander me anymore. I suggest you use your advantage to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsurpass me.”
After looking Hester up and down, Shirley smiled and continued, “You have a good figure. Look at your
slender waist. Trust me, Mr. Stewart will love it. What about you showing it to him?”
“You…”
Hester did not expect that Shirley would say so. She felt a little ashamed and said with a red face, “I do
like Mr. Stewart, but I don’t mean to harm you.”
Then, Hester continued to inhale, keeping her waist as thin as possible. She made eyes at Braden shyly
and charmingly.
She began to seduce Braden.
Shirley was dumbfounded.
Didn’t Hester just be awarded as the best actress? Wasn’t she a popular celebrity in the entertainment
industry? She was not shy about seducing Braden at all. Shirley couldn’t help but look down upon her.
“Mr. Stewart, say something. Ms. Worley has confessed to you. If you maintain silent, she will be
sad.”
Shirley poked Braden, who stood next to him and didn’t say a word, in the arm with her elbow.
Then, she gathered herself to tease him.
Braden had a sullen look. He was clearly unhappy. He glared at Shirley with his cold eyes.
It was obvious that he was waiting for Shirley’s explanation and was not in the mood to joke around
with her.
However, Shirley was not afraid of him. She kept teasing him and Hester, “Do you want to shake hands
and get to know each other? It’s a good chance today. You can communicate with each other more in the
future. If you fall in love later, don’t forget me for helping you.”
Just then, her hand was held tightly by Braden. She bared her teeth in pain and shouted, “Braden, are
you crazy? What’s wrong with you? Let me go!”
Braden held her hand even tighter. With his cold gaze landing on her face, he said, “Explain!”
