Chapter 116 Falling for a Knock-Off?
Shirley heaved a sigh of relief, afraid that Ewan would really lose control and hit Braden.
They were in front of everyone, and the two of them were both young men from aristocratic families. If
word got out, it would be very awkward.
Shirley quickly got up and wanted to pull Ewan back. Nancy stopped her and said, “Don’t worry. Don’t
you know who my brother is? He won’t do anything rash. You just wait to see a good show.”
“That’s right!”
Only then did Shirley sit down resentfully.
Ewan was the famous Mr. Parker. He was famous for his intelligence in Seatle City. He was as smart as
a fox. Many big shots had been tortured by Ewan until they cried for their parents. Ewan would never do
anything randomly just because he wanted to do so, and he would never suffer a loss!
When Braden saw Ewan come over, his expression didn’t change much. He regarded Ewan as
transparent.
Keith had a straightforward personality. He immediately stood up and glared at Ewan. Keith eldin an
extremely unfriendly manner, “What’s the matter?”
Ewan smiled faintly and said, “Don’t be nervous, bro. I am not hostile. On the contrary, I have always
admired you. Today, I was fated to meet you. I just wanted to drink with you and make
friends.”
Keith was very unhappy. He said mercilessly, “Don’t call me bro. We’re not that clos
In comparison, Karen’s attitude was much better. He pointed to the empty seat next to him and said, “Mr.
Parker, you are famous. In the past two years, you have made the Parker family stronger. My father has
always praised you. I have wanted to get to know you for a long time. Please sit
down.”
“Thank you, Karen.”

This scene was a little awkward.
Because the outside world knew that Shirley and Ewan were very close after she and Braden divorced.
Shirley and Ewan were even caught in a picture that they were going to the gynecology and obstetrics
hospital, suspected to be actively preparing for pregnancy.
Right now, Shirley’s ex–husband and current partner were sitting in a row, and it was more or less like a
disaster.
Keith couldn’t help but feel that it was unfair to Braden, and he said to Karen, “Karen, why are you being
so polite to this guy? He is someone with Shirley, and he might even be the one whom Shirley cheated
on Mr. Stewart with. It’s already considered as me being graceful if I don’t beat him up!”
“Don’t joke around.”
Karen looked at Ewan with a fake smile. Karen probed, “I believe that you and Ms. Wilson are just
friends. It’s not as complicated as we think, right?”
Ewan smiled and said, “Karen, you must be joking. We’re not just friends. My feelings for Shirley. are
real. It’s impossible there’s nothing!”
As soon as Ewan said this, everyone looked at Braden.
However, Braden only sipped his wine expressionlessly without saying a word as if he didn’t care at all.
“Karen, you heard it. This guy is here to provoke. I think you…”
Keith originally had a basket of words to say but when Keith suddenly received Karen’s warning gaze,
Keith instantly became as obedient as a cat. Keith muttered a few words to himself, and then
he didn’t say anything else.
It couldn’t be helped. Who would dare disobey Karen’s orders?
Although Karen was usually handsome and refined, and he looked like a good gentleman, Karen would
be ten times scarier than Braden if he got angry.
As for the Whelan family in Seatle City, although it was very low–key and not that rich. an* twasn’t
even among the top eight families, the Whelan family had been in politics for genera
their power was spread. They were the real boss!
Since Karen said to welcome Ewan to join, if Keith continued to nag, then he would not be
respecting Karen.
Forget it. I should talk less and enjoy the show more!
Ewan took two glasses. He poured two glasses. He held one glass and handed one to Braden. Ewan
said, “Sir, this glass of wine is for you. Thank you for letting Shirley go. Now she has regained her
freedom. She is more confident and capable than before. Her world is bigger. You are a savior!”
After Ewan finished speaking, he raised his head and drank all the wine in his glass.
What Ewan said was not just for the show, but it was a heartfelt statement.
If not for Braden being such a jerk and forcing Shirley to divorce, Shirley would probably still be staying in
the Wilson family and being a pushover, who was disliked by others!
Braden looked at the wine that Ewan handed over and listened to what Ewan had just said. His mood
was a little complicated.
Anyone could tell that Ewan was being sarcastic and malicious.
However, deep down, Braden agreed with Ewan.
Unexpectedly, Braden took the wine from Ewan. Braden laughed at himself and said, “Indeed. She left
me and became very different. It was like a fish returning to the ocean, a bird flying into the sky, and
finding her world.
“I once thought that a boring and indifferent woman like her would have a hard time living without the
protection of the Stewart family. Besides, no man would like her. Now it seems…”
Braden looked at Ewan and then at his nephew, Leon. Braden shook his head with a complicated
smile and said coldly, “She is doing much better than I thought. I hope that she can be happy.”
Ewan choked.
Ewan was almost choked to death by the alcohol and couldn’t answer for a while.
Ewan did not expect that the inhuman Braden could spit out such humane words, and it sounded.
very sincere.

This made Ewan look sarcastic and a bit petty.
“You’re being polite. Shirley is quite good. There are a lot of people pursuing her. I am under a lot of
pressure. It seems that you are living a good life. You just cut off contact with Ms. Nelson Now you find a
new one. It is like changing clothes for you!”
Ewan thought that Braden would deny it.
Ewan had just observed that there was no special relationship between Braden and the girl that looked
like Shirley. The two of them looked like they were not familiar with each other.
In the end, Braden hugged Alice and said, “She is very innocent and cute. I like her very much.”
Everyone present was shocked.
Although Keith didn’t understand why Braden was lying, he unconditionally stood on Braden’s side and
added, “You didn’t expect it. Braden is also an affectionate person. He fell in love with this girl at first
sight!”
“Love at first sight?”
Ewan suddenly looked grim. He sneered and said to Braden, “Why do I think that this girl’s eyebrows and
eyes are very similar to Shirley’s? Why didn’t you fall in love with Shirley for so many years? Why do you
fall in love with the knock–off now?”
Braden didn’t say anything. Keith said, “I knew you were here to pick a fight. What do you want?”
Ewan smiled, “Don’t make it sound so serious. I told you that I just wanted to have a drink with you… Mr.
Stewart, do you dare to drink with me?”
Before Braden could reply, Keith beat him to it. “What a joke! There’s nothing that Braden doesn’t dare to
do… Braden, I support you to drink with him. He’s risking his neck!”
Braden rolled his eyes at Keith. Thank you, idiot!
Ewan filled up the two glasses again and said, “If you have the guts, then let’s do it!”
Since Braden is such a jerk, then don’t blame me for being impolite…
