Chapter 136 You Bastard!
Braden had been fretting about the truth about Cherry’s accident.
He took a deep breath and decided to ask Cherry about it.
Cherry had been taken to the hospital for emergency treatment and was currently out of danger.
Since she was almost drowned, her brain and lungs were probably damaged. So, she had to stay in the
hospital for a few more days.
After the guests left, there were only Cherry’s parents, Karen, and Keith staying in the hospital.
They stood outside the ward, and they all felt somber.
Sandra rubbed her hands and looked at Karen carefully. She said somewhat awkwardly, “Karen, it was
not convenient to talk with you since there were many people here just now. Can we have a good chat
about you and Cherry now?”
Karen put his hands in his pockets. He looked at Sandra with gentle eyes and said unhurriedly, “What do
you want to talk about?”
“Cherry is a weak–minded person. She is also a little willful. As her mother, I can see that she still
doesn’t forget Mr. Stewart…”
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
Elbert Tierney, Cherry’s father, frowned and glared at Sandra. He wore an obsequious smile and looked
at Karen, saying, “If everything had gone smoothly, I would have been your father–in–law. Don’t listen to
what Cherry’s mother said. She mistakenly thinks that Cherry is still in love with Mr. Stewart. In fact,
Cherry is just kind–hearted. She thinks that she hurt Mr. Stewart, and she has been unable to forgive
herself for so many years. The person she loves the most is you. You’d better not worry too much. How
about you two holding the wedding after Cherry fully recovers?”

Mr. Stewart anymore. She merely feels guilty. She indeed loves you deeply. Don’t misunderstand her
because of my words,” Sandra added.
Both Sandra and Elbert were smart. They knew that the Whelan family was powerful in Seatle City. With
the condition of the Tierney family, Cherry’s best choice was to marry Karen if she wanted to live a better
life. Therefore, Sandra and Elbert didn’t want Karen to cancel the wedding.
Karen’s face was so calm that no one could tell his true thoughts. He said to Sandra and Elbert flatly,
“You are overthinking. I announced the end of my relationship with Cherry not because of her It also has
nothing to do with Braden. I’ve been thinking about the decision for a long time.
“Actually, I’ve discovered that Cherry and I were not suitable from a long time ago. However, we were
probably used to the relationship and sacrificed too much for it back then. Therefore, I never

thought of giving it up. I want to thank Cherry. Without her bravery, I would not be able to make the
decision.”
“What do you mean?”
Elbert and Sandra were completely stunned.
They didn’t expect Karen to fall in love with someone else. Didn’t Karen love Cherry deeply? Why did he
change so suddenly?
Keith couldn’t bear it any longer. He had been respecting Karen, and it was the first time he shouted at
Karen. He asked, “Karen, do you know what you’re talking about? What nonsense are you saying? How
could you do this to Cherry?
“Braden and Cherry had strong feelings for each other back then. If you hadn’t appeared, they
would have got married and had babies. Cherry left Braden because of having an affair with you. It
took Braden a long time to let go of Cherry. Both of them can finally live peaceful and happy lives.
How could you abandon Cherry? What a bastard you are!”
Karen took a deep breath and said slowly, “That’s right. I’m a bastard. If you want to avenge Cherry,
you can beat me.”
“You!”
Keith didn’t know what to do for a while.
He clenched his fists tightly, but he, at last, didn’t do anything.
It took a long time for him, Karen, and Braden to be reconciled. Keith didn’t want to lose either of
them anymore.
“Forget it. The relationship between you three is complicated. I’m sick of helping any the past few years.
You can do whatever you please.”
After Keith finished speaking, he left in a huff.

He was in hot water as well. His father had said that this week was his last day of freedom.
If he lost the lawsuit, he couldn’t leave home until he reformed himself thoroughly.
The most important thing for him was to find a lawyer who could help him win the lawsuit.
After talking with many lawyers, Keith had to admit that Jim seemed ideal. However, he and Shirley were
in a bad relationship. As Jim took Shirley’s side, he possibly wouldn’t agree to help Keith.
“I am very sorry. I will make up for you later. Now, what’s important for Cherry is to calm down and take
good care of herself. If there is nothing else, I will leave.”
Karen bowed deeply to them.
Although his words were sincere, both Sandra and Elbert could tell his indifferent attitude.
Sandra could hardly stand it anymore and cried out. She pulled Karen by his arm. “Karen, you can’t
leave Cherry. You have been together for so many years. How can you abandon her just like that? Both
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmour families know each other well. You will get married soon. Do you really want to give everything up
and start over? Even though you don’t love Cherry as deeply as before, you get along well with her.
Listen, love is not the most crucial thing for a successful marriage. It is whether you two are compatible
or not. Those who love each other very much end up splitting up.”
Karen smiled, “You are right. However, I’m tired of being a good child, friend, and boyfriend according to
others‘ thoughts. I want to live by following my heart. Please understand me and Cherry. I believe… this
is also what she wants.”
After that, he paused for a while. Then, he added, “As you know, both Braden and Cherry are single now.
Isn’t it a good chance for them to continue their relationship? If they can get back together, I will be the
happiest person.”
“Well, I know you are jealous. You think that Cherry has an affair with Mr. Stewart, right? You are
mistaken. Cherry…”
Sandra was anxious to explain. Just then, the ward door behind her was opened.
Cherry stood at the door with a pale face and shouted, “Mom, I respect his decision and wish him
happiness. Just let him go. Don’t embarrass yourself anymore, okay?”
In fact, Cherry had noticed Karen’s change a long time ago. Finally, the day he wanted to break up
with her came.
Fortunately, he proposed it before they got married. Otherwise, they would end up getting divorced.
Cherry chose to jump off the cliff because of many factors. Braden’s provocation was one of them, and
Karen’s indifference to her was the major one… She felt desperate as both Braden and Karen
abandoned her. So, she committed suicide.
Karen looked at Cherry apologetically and said, “I know you still love Braden. To be exact, you have
never stopped loving him. Now, you are single. You can go to pursue him bravely.”
Just as he finished speaking, Braden walked out of the elevator.
