Chapter 173 A Life for a Life

“Like I said.”

Braden’s breathing was steady as he expressionlessly told them the truth of the matter

He thought, anyway, the baby is gone, and Shirley is nowhere to be found. It doesn’t matter whether it r emains a secret or is known by everyone.

“What?”

Keith’s mouth was wide open. He found it hard to believe

Like him, Karen spent at least ten minutes before sorting the whole thing out, and then he sighed, “Bra den, you made a mistake. And I’m sorry to hear that. I guess you were aggrieved.”

Braden looked at him coldly, “I wasn’t aggrieved. Charles is the reason I’m alive. Of course, I have to do everything I can to fulfill his last wish. But… I am so incompetent!”

He hit the table hard with his fist, and his eyes reddened slightly.

It could be seen that he did feel guilty about Charles.

“Of course, you didn’t feel aggrieved. Your wife should be.”

Keith couldn’t help but stick up for Shirley, saying, “If you wanted to make things right for Charles, go a head. You didn’t need to hurt Shirley. You are now responsible for Amelie and her baby, but what about Shirley, who was married to you for four years? She didn’t do anything wrong, yet she

got kicked out by you. You…”

“Enough!”

Karen glared at Keith, reminding Keith to stop before he went too far “Didn’t you urge Braden to divorce Ms. Wilson every day before? Why are you talking like that now? Do you think things aren’t messy eno ugh? Or Braden isn’t in pain enough?”

“I didn’t mean that. I just feel that things aren’t right for Shirley. Who did she hurt? She…!

“I get what Braden is thinking.”

Karen looked at Braden, whose handsome face was gloomy, and said with distress, “He wanted Amelie’s baby to have a legitimate identity and to grow up in a normal family. Plus, at that time, he didn’t love Ms. Wilson at all. And it seemed that Ms. Wilson didn’t have feelings for him either. A marriage without love was bound to shatter. It made sense that Ms. Wilson left. Amelie and her baby were at most just the immediate flashpoints.”

Keith nodded and touched his chin. “Yeah, sounds reasonable to me. Everyone is the victim here, and t hey all feel so aggrieved… But I disagree with the part that Shirley didn’t love Braden at that

time Anyone who isn’t blind can tell that she loved him so much.”

“Leave the past alone. We should think about how to deal with the current situation now.”

Karen asked Braden, who had been silent the whole time, “Braden, have you figured out what to do? N ow that there is no baby, of course, you won’t marry Amelie. Will you marry Ms. Wilson again?”

“No.”

Braden answered without hesitation.

He would prefer staying single and dying alone before marrying the one who killed Charles‘ only blood. He had a conscience, and such “happiness” would make him spend the rest of his life living

in guilt.

“If so, why are you making so many efforts to find Ms. Wilson now? With all the histories you perhaps it’ s best that you never see each other again.”

Karen instantly empathized with Shirley. He said objectively, “No wonder she disappeared so thoroughly. If I were her, I would do the same.”

share,

Keith raised his hand in agreement. “Braden, why don’t you stop looking for her? Nothing will ever happen between you two. If you insist on entangling with her, you’ll only make bo th you and her more painful.”

“Was I too much?”

It seemed that Braden didn’t hear them at all. He suddenly raised his cold eyes and asked them in a

low voice

“What?”

Keith was confused.

“I almost killed her by strangling her Was I too much?”

Braden asked.

“Yes and no.”

As an outsider, Keith spoke fairly, “With the way you do things normally, it makes perfect sense. You mi ght have done crueler things. Yet… If the object is Shirley, I’d say that you were a little bit too

much.”

Keith had been friends with Braden for years, and Braden had always been sober and rational. It was t he first time Keith knew that Braden had a depressed side. Though what Braden had done was infuriati ng, he also felt sorry for Braden. Therefore, he didn’t say any harsh words.

“She deserved it.”

Braden was like a volcano that had been dormant for a long time and suddenly erupted. He lost his cool and sa id in an extremely cold voice, “A life for a life. It’s only fair

Keith was startled. He took a step back, curled his lips, and teased, “Fine It’s fair, alright? Then why are we going through so many troubles here? Is it because you didn’t kill her, and you wanted to continue t he unfinished business?”

Braden said coldly, “Get her back before anything.

Keith and Karen looked at each other and smiled, shrugging helplessly while shaking their heads.

They knew Braden so well. Braden had always been stubborn and refused to admit what he was thinking. The harsher his words were, the deeper his love was.

“Then let’s not waste any more time. Let’s find her ”

Karen analyzed calmly and said, “According to the data I can find, before Ms. Wilson disappeared, she went to a lot of places, includ

she went to.”

“Are you saying that she didn’t go anywhere else after that?” Braden frowned.

“Yes, it seems so from the data. And it has been 51 hours already.”

Karen projected the data on the projector and pointed at them one by one for Braden.

Keith said, “51 hours? That’s a little more than two days. It’s still the gold tracking time. If we hurry, I’m s

He looked around and snapped his fingers. “If you ask me, I’d say that Shirley is still in the villa. After all trick. She hides in the villa all this time, and she will find a slot to escape while we are spending a great d

Karen nodded. “It’s possible. Why don’t we send more people to surround the villa and then do a thorou

Braden looked at Shirley’s tracks on the projector and said coldly, “Then let’s start.”

On no ground would he believe that she could disappear from under his nose.

The Stewart’s house was very large, and it covered a wide area. The extra men hadn’t arrived yet, so

all three joined the search party.

Braden was in charge of the area inside the villa, while Karen and Keith were in charge of the outer

edge

Braden strode up the stairs with his long legs and pushed open the door to Shirley’s room.

He smelt a faint fragrance of gardenia, which was the scent exclusive to Shirley.

He could no longer remember when he noticed the scent.

Some people said that when a person loved another person to the extreme, they would smell the scent

Braden did not know whether he loved Shirley or not, but the faint fragrance on her always managed to

He looked at the empty room, and there was loneliness in his eyes. “Where are you, Shirley?”
