Chapter 464 What a Shame!

"What do you think?"

Shirley curved her red lips. Her smile was enchanting and mysterious, making the others hard to

fathom.

She reached out her slender hand, gently stroking Braden's perfect face, feeling the slightly hard

stubble and the faint chill that was so familiar. The memories of their past love and intimacy were still

vivid in her mind, yet at this moment, they seemed to be separated by thousands of mountains and

rivers.

"I don't care what your purpose is. Leave immediately. You shouldn't appear here."

Braden tried his best to put on a cold expression, hoping to make Shirley realize the difficulty and give

up.

He did not want Shirley's sudden appearance to disrupt his carefully laid plan.

Moreover, what he was most afraid of was that he would soften his heart in the end because of

Shirley...

If he softened his heart, then everything would be ruined!

"You are in such a hurry to drive me away because you are afraid you will change your mind because

of me?"

Shirley spoke his mind directly.

Braden chose to ignore her words.

At the same time, he let go of her hand and tried to keep her at a distance.

Braden knew himself very well. Despite his cold and serious face, he was actually a lovesick fool. The

closer he got to Shirley, the less rational he was, which was troublesome.

However, Shirley was born with a rebellious heart. When she noticed that Braden wanted to keep a

distance from her, she directly embraced his shoulder, her lips lightly touching his face as she said

word by word, "If I tell you that I come here tonight for nothing else but to win you back, would you

believe me?"

"Don't be ridiculous!"

Braden clearly didn't expect Shirley to be so persistent and was slightly surprised. He tried hard to keep

his cold expression and said with a bit of pride, "Didn't you say that you're the type of person who is

free and easy? You said at the time you answered to be with me, you already planned to leave. You

even told me that I mean nothing to you and you can still shine brightly without me. So why do you

refuse to let go of me now?"

"You also know that I meant the day we really do separate. But we haven't been in that situation yet..."

Shirley laid her head on Braden's shoulder, like a kitten, and coquettishly whispered in his ear, "I don't

believe that you don't love me anymore. There must be some reason why you have to do this. There is

no one else here, only you and me. I will give you another chance. Just tell me the truth and let's face it

together!"

Braden didn't say anything.

He stood straight there, motionless.

He had to admit that there was a moment when he really couldn't bear it and became soft-hearted.

But when he thought of the price he would have to pay after softening his heart, he quickly solidified his

belief.

"Guess what? Don't underestimate your wife. Your wife is very capable. If the Gilmore family can give

you support, I can do the same. You don't need to make such a big sacrifice. We're not even divorced

yet, so don’t go out and find another wife!"

Shirley was a little panicked and her tone became somewhat submissive when Braden didn't respond

to her for a long time.

"What kind of support can you offer?"

Braden remained unmoved, his expression cold. He detached Shirley's hands from him, his eyes were

indifferent. "You can't even take care of yourself, so don't burden me anymore. If you really care about

our little bit of husband and wife affection, then just give me and Alina a generous blessing."

Braden's words struck a chill in Shirley's heart.

Shirley was like a moth, clearly knowing that the light she yearned for would take her life, but still blindly

flying towards it.

What a shame!

"Great, Braden. Remember what you said today. I have already given you a chance, but you still don't

want it. I won't forgive you no matter what trouble you face in the future!"

Shirley shouted at Braden out of control, her eyes red.

In another secluded corner of the terrace, a series of coughs sounded.

It was Antwan.

He walked out with a half-smile. He was well-dressed, dressed neatly, and wearing rimless glasses,

looking like a refined gentleman.

"Honey, you've done what you want. So you can start preparing now. It's time to show!"

Antwan pointed to his watch and reminded Shirley.

"Yes, it's time to show!"

Shirley took a deep breath and revealed a bright smile. Her humble appearance just now seemed to

have never existed.

"Good luck, Mr. Stewart."

Shirley patted Braden's shoulder, with a meaningful look in her eyes.

She then walked up to Antwan, took his arm, and headed to the banquet.

Braden still remained silent.

He stood in place, silent for a long time, and then smiled slightly.

He thought, that's right, Shirley. This is who you should be. Whether you want revenge or anything

else, as long as you are no longer sad for me, I will be satisfied.

When Shirley and Antwan appeared at the banquet, they attracted a lot of attention, but undoubtedly,

the unanimous response they received was disdainful glances.

Antwan was the one who failed to seize power.

And Shirley was the one whose family had fallen apart and had been abandoned by her husband.

They didn't need to do anything. Just appearing in such a place was a mistake, and they were naturally

looked down upon by others.

Alina was surrounded by many people, but she gradually noticed that people's gazes were no longer

focused on her, which made her feel somewhat unhappy.

She frowned when she saw Shirley and Antwan appear in high profile on the ornate spiral staircase.

"Ms. Wilson, are you here as Mr. Antwan's companion?"

Alina walked to Shirley, deliberately raising her voice, sneering. "You may not know that everyone

attending this summit today must have made a certain contribution to the industry. Mr. Antwan is not

even qualified, and you, as his companion, are even less qualified."

"Is there such a rule? I'm sorry, I didn't know at all!"

As usual, Antwan continued to play up his useless image, grinning broadly. "But you need to know that

it's not that Shirley is attending as my companion. Instead, I am her companion here. Well, you

probably don't know she is the president of the Electronics Technology Association. I'm just tagging

along to broaden my horizons."

As soon as he finished speaking, angry voices rose from the crowd.

"What the hell? How dare he mention this again! Back then, we trusted her so much and voted for her

to be the new president of the Electronics

Technology Association. But in the end, she suddenly disappeared from the world, causing us to be a

joke in others' eyes!

"Who the hell made the attendance list today? The two's appearance is a great humiliation to our

industry... Security, hurry up and kick these unrelated people out!"

"Sorry, guys. I think I owe you an apology for what happened in the past.

Now, I solemnly apologize to you here."

Shirley bowed deeply to the crowd.

Back then, her sudden disappearance had indeed brought shame to the Electronics Technology

Association. It was no surprise that she had become a target of criticism.

"And I am here today with an important mission. Furthermore, I was personally invited by the current

president of the association, Frank Bradshaw, so both my partner and I are qualified to be here."

Shirley said with a confident tone.

"Personally invited by Frank? How is that possible?"

The crowd turned to look at Frank.
