Chapter 248 The Cocktail
At this poi nt, Cordell was very weak. He was a little unsteady as he leaned his head on Nancy’s
shoulder.
Cordell knew that he would never be forgiven, and he would never stay with Nancy. Therefore, he
decided to commit suicide. He only wanted to see Nancy and hold her one last time.
Before they met, Cordell had taken poison, and now it took effect.
“Nancy, it was my own fault that I ended up like this. I regret many things, but I don’t regret knowing you.
To be able to die in your arms, I have no regrets…” Cordell said slowly.
Cordell used all his strength to hold Nancy. He just wanted to stay with her as much longer as possible.
Nancy’s eyes were red as she fiercely said, “Cordell, you scheming man, what tricks do you want to play
again? Are you trying to trick me? I won’t believe it.
“I’ll count to three and tell me where Bennett is immediately. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being
ruthless.
Three, two…”
Shirley sat a little far away from them, so she couldn’t hear what they were talking about.
She could only see them fight, hug, and cry. Clearly, they were deeply connected and wouldn’t let go of
each
other.
Shirley didn’t care about this.
Although Cordell was not a good man, if he really changed and got on well with Nancy, Shirley would still
give
her blessings.
After all, the most special thing about love was that it would cause a person who was originally clear-
headed to lose their rationality and principles.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTo put it bluntly, even though they knew that love was poison, no matter how the people around them
tried to persuade them, those who fell in love would still enjoy it.
Shirley even felt that if Braden was still alive, she might even fall for him again.
This was a typical example. The outsiders all said it was disgusting and stupid, but she still wanted more.
Braden…
Why would Shirley think of him again?
Shirley shook her head, picked up the mug, and drank some water, trying to get rid of Braden in her
mind.
At this time, the waiter brought a light blue cocktail and placed it in front of Shirley.
“Excuse me, madam. This cocktail was given to you by a gentleman.”
Without even looking at it, Shirley said casually, “Put it there.”
Shirley was so pretty. From the moment she sat down, many people came to hit on her. Naturally, she
would
not look at this cocktail.
“That gentleman hoped that you could have a taste and said this is your favorite.”
“Oh?”
Shirley then looked at the cocktail. Then, her expression changed. She picked it up and tasted it.
This familiar taste set her very blood on fire.
Shirley quickly stood up and asked the waiter seriously, “Where is the person who delivered the
cocktail?”
“I’m sorry, but the gentleman has left.”
“What does he look like? Is he very tall, very handsome, but cold and arrogant?”
“He is indeed very handsome, looks very cold, and is not easy to get close to. Do you know him?”
Shirley did not answer. Instead, she asked excitedly, “Which direction did he go?”
Shirley thought, well, there’s more to our relationship.
This cocktail was her own creation. The vodka was mixed with mint and lime-flavored soda. With their
chemical reaction, it had turned blue… Shirley had only made it for Braden.
Therefore, she was certain that the man who gave her this cocktail was Braden.
This discovery was like a stimulant and set Shirley’s very blood on fire.
Shirley knew that Braden was not dead at all. Braden was such a tough guy. How could he die easily?
Shirley learned from the waiter that Braden had left from the side door, so she wanted to chase him
immediately…
“Ah, someone’s dead. Someone’s dead!”
Someone shouted when pointing at Cordell, who was lying on the ground.
Most of the people in the restaurant immediately scattered in fear, while the braver ones walked forward.
“Cordell, you bastard, don’t pretend to be dead. I won’t believe you. I ask you to wake up quickly.”
Nancy was so scared, and her face turned pale. Her hands trembled as she pushed Cordell onto the
ground.
Shirley realized that something was wrong and could only come back from the side door.
“What happened?”
Shirley pushed the crowd away and asked with a frown.
Someone pointed at Nancy and shouted, “This woman is the murderer. Just now, she had been beating
this
handsome guy, and now this guy was dead.”
“Yes, it’s her. Hurry to call the police to catch her. Don’t let her run away.”
“No, it’s impossible. Absolutely impossible!”
Nancy shook her head and was at a loss. “Although this scumbag looks gentle, in fact, he is not so weak.
How can he die after a few slaps?”
“Cordell, stop acting. Do you think this is fun? Get up quickly!”
Everyone was furious and denounced her angrily.

“The one who’s acting is you. Are you still human? You beat him to death, yet you still won’t let him go.”
“Don’t try to deny it. We are all witnesses, and the police will be here soon…”
Shirley felt a headache from the noise and shouted with a long face, “All of you shut up!”
Shirley had a dominating air, and everyone quieted down immediately.
“Shirley, look at what kind of tricks this jerk is playing…”
Nancy saw her savior and quickly made space for Shirley. Nancy pretended not to care and said, “If he
wants to die, I won’t stop him. But he hasn’t told me where Ben is. I can’t let him die so easily.”
Shirley did not say anything. She half-knelt on the ground and touched the black blood from the corner of
Cordell’s mouth. After smelling it, Shirley said in a low voice, “He should have taken the poison in
advance. The dosage is not small. He is a tough guy.”
“What?”
Nancy was stunned. She looked coldly at Cordell on the ground. Nancy felt sad, and tears welled up in
her
eyes.
She did not expect that Cordell would choose this way to end all of this.
Did he do this because of guilt or cowardice?
Shirley looked at Nancy and felt very distressed. She quickly said, “Don’t be sad for now. He hasn’t been
poisoned for a long time. If he is sent to the hospital to pump his stomach now, he might still be saved.”
“He chose to kill himself. Why should I save him?”
Although Nancy said this, she still used all her strength to help Cordell up from the ground, ready to send
him
to the hospital.
Given that, the onlookers also helped.
Shirley watched from afar and did not follow. She believed Nancy would handle everything.
And now, Shirley had more important things to do.
Shirley walked in the direction of the side door… She must find Braden tonight.
