Chapter 111 Single Night
“Let’s do it!”
After listening to Eliza’s plan, Shirley was so excited that her eyes lit up. She praised Eliza from the
bottom of her heart, “Ms. Honeycutt, you’re incredible. This case is so tricky, but you find a solution. I
knew that coming to your law office was the right choice!
“With the help of you three great lawyers, I think I’m invincible in any field. The entire Seatle City, no, the
whole world will be mine.”
Jim said with a smile, “Shirley, you are exaggerating. But it’s still possible for you to get 30 and 40
percent of Seatle City.”
Shirley was obviously dissatisfied with Jim’s comment. She frowned and said, “Why is it only 30 and 40
percent? What about the remaining 60 and 70?”
“What do you think?”
Jim broke Shirley’s unrealistic dream. He said, “The remaining 60 or 70 percent belongs to your ex–
husband, our former boss, Braden.”
The Stewart family was the head of the top eight families in Seatle City. The strength of the other seven
families could not be underestimated. If the Wilson family wanted to reclaim its former place, it would
face a lot of challenges. It was already quite an accomplishment for it to account for three and forty
percent of the market share.
oldly, “There
he Wilson
At this time, the strong woman Eliza, who had the entire scene under control, is no need to be so
conservative. If we can win this lawsuit, the Stewart family family’s money–making machine in the future.
It is not impossible for the Wilson fati“. to trump the Stewart family.”
“That’s right. In the past, our family was on par with the Stewart family, but later on, we took the wrong
path and fell too far behind.”
When Shirley said that, she took a deep breath and said with great ambition, “As the only bloodline of the
Wilson family, I won’t let our family go the wrong way again.”
Jim shook his head and couldn’t help but sigh. These two women are so naive and bold! They wish the

In the evening.
At the Star Bar.
Braden, Karen, and Keith sat in the most distinguished seats, each of them troubled by their own
problems. They kept clicking their glasses with one another.
As the three of them were too superior in appearance and belonged to different types, they drew
attention from all the women who came in and out of the hotel.
Keith opened another bottle of wine and poured it for himself and the other two. Then he said in high
spirits, “Don’t wear that long face. Tonight is Karen’s single night. After tonight, Karen will step into the
cage of marriage.”
“Listen, Cherry won’t let you fool around after you get married. If we don’t have fun now, then
when?”
Karen raised his glass and silently looked at the small bubble of whiskey in the glass. There was no
joy on his handsome and refined face, and he even let out a long sigh.
Keith was puzzled. “Karen, look at you. You are about to end your love marathon and marry
woman you love. Why are you sighing?”
the
Karen didn’t answer. Instead, he looked at Braden, who also looked upset. He asked, “Braden,
among the three of us, you are the only one who had got married. Tell me, what were your feelings at
that time? Were you afraid of getting married just like me?”
Braden was as elegant as a Prince. He swayed the wide wine glass in his hand, his coid eyes deep. He
was pondering that question.
After a long time, Braden shook his head and said coldly, “I have forgotten how I felt the night before I
got married. The only thing left is disgust.”
“Disgust?”
Karen frowned. “Do you feel disgusted with your wife or marriage?”
Braden shook his head again. “I don’t know. Maybe both.”
Braden and Shirley got married four years ago. It was too long ago, so his memories became very
vague.
Braden had forgotten many things. The only thing he remembered clearly was that Shirley was very
beautiful on the day of the wedding. She was wearing a blue and white fluffy wedding dress, and her
delicate little face was slightly flushed. She was a shy young girl, and she did not even have the
courage to look at him.
At that time, she was like a little rabbit, cute and soft. Braden had become protective of her. But now she
became a female leopard. Whenever she met him, she intended to tear him apart!
“Of course, he feels disgusted!”
Keith acted as if he had been there and said indignantly, “Braden was forced to marry his wife. Of
course, he was unwilling to do that.
“Karen, you are different. You married Cherry because of love. You two have been through a lot before
you can finally get married. You must be very happy and look forward to it, right?”
Braden and Karen looked at each other speechlessly. With a bitter smile, they clinked their glasses with
each other.
“Yes, I married Cherry because of love. I should be happy. And Braden divorced Ms. Wilson because he
didn’t love her. He should be happy too. But why do I feel that neither of us is happy?”
Karen asked a heavy question.
Keith couldn’t help but sigh. He complained, “I’m so envious that you are still in the mood to discuss love.
I have never had this kind of problem. I don’t love women. Freedom is my only love. But if I can’t win that
damned lawsuit, I will lose my freedom!”
After he finished speaking, Keith raised his head and drank up all the wine in his glass. Then he clapped
his hands and said in a loud voice, “Alright, alright. Let’s cheer up. Why don’t we do something
interesting?”
Karen became intrigued by the proposal. “What’s in your mind?”
“Let’s play a game. The loser will accept the punishment unconditionally. How about it?”
“Boring.”
Braden looked indifferent. He was obviously uninterested.
However, he suddenly thought of something and asked, “Rock–paper–scissors?”
“Fine by me. I’m good at any game.”
“Okay, let’s do this.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBraden suddenly became interested.
Braden kept losing to Shirley when they played this game. He wanted to know if he was really that bad or
if it was because Shirley was too good.
Thus, the three of them began to play the game.
Braden was a workaholic and rarely came out for entertainment. As expected, he was the lamest.
Karen and Keith had defeated him easily.
Braden was willing to admit defeat, waiting for his punishment.
“I’ll go first.”
Keith said, “Braden, I want you to take out your phone and call your wife. Then, you should talk to
her for at least ten minutes.”
Boring
Braden refused directly
However, how could Keith let him off so easily? He kept teasing Braden.
“It’s just a call, Braden. You’re not a coward, are you?”
Braden had no choice but to take out his phone and dial Shirley’s number
The result was obvious. His number was still on Shirley’s blacklist, so he couldn’t reach her
“Hahahaha
Keith and Karen were laughing nonstop. This was exactly what they wanted.
“Alright, it’s my turn.”
Karen managed to hold back his laughter with great difficulty. He said to Braden, “Braden, don’t worry I’ll
be easy on you.”
Karen looked at the door of the bar and said, “How about inviting the second person who comes in to
dance?”
Braden raised an eyebrow. “That’s easy.”
It was just a dance with a stranger. Braden believed nobody would refuse his itation natter if
it was a man or a woman.
The first one to come in was a handsome guy.
Then, a long–haired beauty in a small white dress slowly walked in.
