Chapter 172 She Will Never See You Again
In the dark room, a bright white light was flickering on the computer screen.
Braden played the surveillance footage of Lakedrift Manor over and over again, wanting to confirm
whether the truth was really as Amelie said. Did everything happen because of Shirley’s arrogance?
He pressed the forward button and the back button repeatedly.
He watched the video several times. In the video, Shirley humiliated Amelie, pushed Amelie down, and
looked indifferently at Amelie, who was lying in a pool of blood…..
“Damn it!”
Braden narrowed his eyes. His handsome face was tense because of his great anger, and he cursed in
a low voice with disappointment in the silent darkness.
He thought, I never thought of Shirley as a vicious woman. I thought that she was, at most, a woman who did things as she pleased and had a strong self–consciousness.
But the video proves how wrong I was.
It turns out that a woman can be vicious to this extent. How can she do this to an unborn baby?
Braden tried to pull himself back from the verge of collapsing. He took out his phone and dialed
Liam’s number. His voice was cold as he ordered, “Bring Shirley to Santho City right now. She must
apologize to Amelie. And she must give me and the entire Stewart family an explanation.”
Liam, who was on the other end of the line, could tell how furious Braden was, but he could only tell
the truth. He said, “Mr. Stewart, it’s too late. Mrs. Stewart… No, Ms. Wilson has already left.”
“Left?
“Where did she go? Where could she possibly go?” Braden asked, his eyes cold.
“I don’t know about that.”
Liam said unhurriedly, “About a week ago, she came to say goodbye to me. She said that she was
going to leave Seatle City and might never come back again. She wanted me to say goodbye to
in the Stewart Group on her behalf. Also, she prepared gifts for everyone and asked me to
give you a message…..
everyone
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHearing his words, Braden could hardly remain calm.
He thought, damn woman! How dare you flee from punishment? How dare you run away without
saying anything?
I admit it. I vaguely remember that a long time ago, you said that you would leave Seatle City soon.
Back then, I thought you were joking. Yet you weren’t. You have been planning since then.
“What message?”
Braden asked, clenching his phone
“She said she was sorry. She hoped to wipe the slate clean with you, and she would never see you
again.”
Liam sighed sadly and said regretfully, “What a pity. Pretty much all of the employees of the
Stewart Group were betting big on you getting back together. They have suffered from great
losses…
“Ms. Wilson sounded so sad. I don’t think she wanted to leave you. Yet she had no choice.”
“Sad my ass!”
Braden’s heart was suddenly a mess. He didn’t know if he was angry or scared.
The only thing he knew was that he mustn’t let Shirley go. No way!
“Since she has fled away, send people out right now. You must bring her back at all costs!”
Braden held his forehead with his palm in frustration. His eyes were cold and stern, and for the first
time, he felt a sense of helplessness.
Outside the floor–to–ceiling window, the moonlight was bright. With his tall and straight figure
reflected on the glass, he was like a ferocious beast lurking in the dark, both dangerous and
charming.
“We went after her, but we failed.”
Liam said tentatively, “Mr. Stewart, I had foreseen that you couldn’t bear to see Ms. Wilson leave.
So, right after you broke up with her, I blocked all the gateways in Seatle City, wanting to stop her
from leaving. Unfortunately… Ms. Wilson simply vanished, and we couldn’t find any trace of her at
all.”
“Are you kidding me?”
Braden’s eyes narrowed, and he even wished he could strangle Liam on the spot. “How could at living
person vanish just like that?”
“I don’t know how Ms. Wilson managed it, but she just did. We tried our best to find her, yet there
was no news about her at all. By the way, her nanny disappeared with her as well. I think the nanny’s
name was May or something
Then Liam sighed a few times and apologized, “Mr. Stewart, I’ve tried my best, but I still couldn’t find
her If you don’t believe me, you’ll have to go find her yourself.”
Braden didn’t hesitate. He immediately took a private plane and returned to Seatle City.
He thought, I firmly believe that as long as people are alive, there will be movements. It’s impossible
that she doesn’t have any traces at all.
Unless….she is still in Seatle City!
I don’t mind using all the power I can to find her myself.
Braden sent more people to search every corner of Seatle City. Meanwhile, he asked Karen and Keith
to find out about her whereabouts by using connections both from the underworld and the police.
Keith had already recovered and was discharged from the hospital. Together with Karen, they met up
with Braden at the Stewart’s house
“Any news?”
Braden walked forward quickly and asked Karen and Keith, who had been waiting in the hall of the
villa.
Karen and Keith looked at each other and shook their heads.
“Braden, what irreconcilable contradiction has happened between you two that caused her to disappear
overnight and refuse to see you again?”
Keith asked with a frown.
Keith thought, Shirley risked her life to save me. And before I can properly thank her, she is gone. I feel
sorry whenever I think of this.
“It’s a long story. Stop wasting time. Just go and find her!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBraden was anxious and irritated, and he was not in the mood to chat at all. The only thing he wanted
was to find Shirley as soon as possible.
However, the world was so big. She could be hiding anywhere.
“If it’s a long story, take your time and tell us.”
Karen was the eldest among them, and he was the calmest. He patted Braden’s shoulder gently and
said, “We can only help you only after we know what’s going on. Otherwise, we would be searching.
aimlessly and miss the best time.”
“Karen is right. We don’t even know what happened. Where are we supposed to find her? We will be
wasting our time!”
Keith was dissatisfied and said a bit gloomily, “Braden, what’s wrong with you? You seem like a
different person now. Instead of being resolute, you’ve become so fussy and indecisive If you really
piss her off, show some sincerity and coax her back. What’s the use of wasting our time and looking for
her aimlessly?
“Just tell us. Why did she leave without saying goodbye? There has to be a reason, right?”
Braden took a deep breath and said coldly, “Because I almost strangled her and told her I didn’t want to
see her ever again.”
“What?”
Keith and Karen were stupefied.
Keith almost fell off his chair and started scolding Braden at once, “Braden, are you nuts? You are a
grown man, about six feet tall. Do you think you’re heroic for bullying a woman like that? It was
domestic violence! Why shouldn’t she run? If she didn’t, she might have died!”
The reason why Keith was so excited was that he had taken Shirley’s side before he knew it.
Keith thought, such a strong, independent, clear–minded, brave, lovely, and beautiful woman almost
died from being strangled. Even though it was Braden who did this to her, I still find it unacceptable!
Keith was about to punch Braden to avenge Shirley when Braden said, “Because she pushed Amelie
and killed Charles‘ only baby.”
“What… What the heck?”
Keith’s fist froze in midair. After a long time, he still couldn’t come back to his senses. “Amelie? Charles‘
only baby? What the fuck is going on?“
