Chapter 249 You’re Still Tough
The side door led directly to the beach. As the sea breeze blew, the waves beat against the shore.
At that moment, it was already late at night. The light on the beach was not good, and there were not
many people. Only a few couples were walking.
Shirley walked on the beach and looked for something. She quickly looked around across the entire
coastline.
The sea breeze blew her long hair into a mess and blew the skirt of her dress upward, showing her
slender calves. Shirley seemed extremely charming at night….
Shirley searched for a long time but found nothing. She gradually became disappointed.
Shirley thought, Braden, you damned bastard, are you playing hide-and-seek with me? You’re so
childish.
She suddenly felt a little stupid and did not want to continue looking for him.
In any case, if Braden was still alive, he would appear one day.
As such, Shirley bent down and patted the sand on her calves. She tucked her messy hair behind her
ears
and prepared to go home.
She got up and suddenly found a familiar tall person standing not far away from her. He was looking at
the
sea and seemed gloomy.
Although the light was not good and she could not see clearly, this man’s figure was exactly the same as
Braden’s. He was tall and cold. Especially from the side of his face, he looked upset… If this guy weren’t
for
Braden, who could it be?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt first, Shirley was disappointed, but this set her very blood on fire again.
“Braden!”
Almost subconsciously, Shirley blurted out his name.
However, when Braden heard her voice, he did not stop. Instead, he turned around and ran.
Shirley was slightly stunned, and she was stimulated in an instant. She started chasing after him.
“Why do you run? Stop right there!”
Although Shirley’s leg injury had just healed and it was not suitable for her to run, she could not let him
run
away again. Otherwise, she would lose too much face.
The sand on the beach was very soft. If people ran on it, they would fall easily.
When Braden was running, he tripped on something and fell with a “plop”.
Shirley followed closely behind. She ran very quickly and kept up with that man. Shirley then controlled
this
man.
“Humph, stop struggling. You can’t run away. What kind of shameful thing have you done? Why don’t you
dare
to face me?”
At this point, the man gave up struggling and smiled helplessly. “Shirley, long time no see. You are still
tough. If I were really Braden, I wondered if I could still live.”
“What?”
Shirley’s expression immediately changed. She was completely stunned.
Leon turned his head, who was eighty percent similar to Braden. He apologized, “I’m sorry. I just wanted
to treat you to a drink, and I never thought of disturbing you. Now it seems that you may have
misunderstood.”
The distance between the two was too close. Shirley’s long legs pressed directly against Leon’s waist. It
looked very sexy.
Shirley pursed her lips and quickly let go of Leon. Then, she stood up and checked her appearance.
Shirley
said coldly, “You mean that you were the one who made that cocktail?”
Leon looked casual. He did not stand up but was still sitting on the beach. His long arms supported his
upper body as he looked up at Shirley. Leon asked, “What? Do you think that Braden made it for you?”
Shirley rolled her eyes at Leon coldly. Then, she looked at the dark sea and pursed her red lips, saying
nothing.
Leon explained, “Braden made this for me before. I pestered him for a long time before he was willing to
hand over the recipe. He said that this was your creation. I think this cocktail is quite interesting. The
vodka is a spirit, while the mint tastes cool. But when they are synthesized together, there is such a
magical chemical reaction. Well… it really resembles the state of you and Braden.”
Shirley snorted. “You’re overthinking. I just casually made it back then. I didn’t think too much about it. If
you didn’t mention it, I would have forgotten about this recipe.”
“At this point, why are you still so stubborn? If you really forgot about this recipe, why did you chase after
me so crazily just now?”
“So, you admit that you were messing with me?”
Shirley narrowed her eyes and asked Leon in a bad mood, “I’ve been fooled by you. Do you feel good?
As expected, none of the men in the Stewart family are normal. Braden is indifferent, Antwan is crazy,
and you are childish.”
Thinking of her madly chasing and shouting, Shirley felt so embarrassed.
She was not only angry at Leon but also angry at herself. How could she lose her mind just because she
saw the side face of that man?
Leon did not explain. Instead, he patted the seat next to him and said to Shirley, “Since the last time we
met in a hurry, we have not seen each other for four years, and many things have happened. I really
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwant to talk to you.”
Shirley directly refused, “I have nothing to talk to you about. It’s late. I have to go home.”
You’re Still Taugh.
She indeed had nothing to talk about with Leon. After all, in her opinion, Leon and Braden were
connected
And now, Shirley didn’t want to have any contact with anyone in the Stewart family.
“What if it’s about Braden?”
Leon stared after Shirley, who was thin but cold, and said meaningfully, “Aren’t you curious how he is
now?”
Shirley clenched her fists and finally turned around, following Leon to sit on the beach.
“Say it. I want to know what you can say.”
The sea breeze was cool along with the moisture of the sea, and Shirley felt very refreshed.
She never believed that Braden was dead, so she needed to get a definite answer from Leon.
Leon’s face was gloomy as he stared at the sea surface. He smiled and said, “If I tell you I don’t know if
Braden is still alive, will you hit me?”
Shirley clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. “Yes!”
“Well, don’t hit me first. I will tell you everything I know. I hope it will help you…”
Leon said slowly, “In the past four years, the Stewart Group seemed to have developed very quickly, but
there are many problems in reality. Many people competed for power, and there was vicious competition.
If something really happened to Braden, it would not be an accident. Instead, someone did it. Just like
many years ago, Charles was suddenly shot.”
Shirley was shocked. “You mean… Braden and Charles were both murdered?”
“Yes.”
Leon nodded. “If I’m not wrong, the one who murdered them is likely to belong to the same force, and I…
