Chapter 140 Destined to Be a Wrong Couple
Keith saw that there was a chance, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He said hurriedly, “What
conditions? As long as you can help me with the lawsuit, just raise them!”
Shirley did not beat around the bush and said directly, “I want to rent the land owned by your family.
in the southern suburbs for thirty years.”
The Guerra family was also one of the top eight families. Its wealth was concentrated in the real
estate industry, and it boasted rich financial resources.
In the early years, the Guerra family had strong connections and bought a lot of land. They
developed countless famous high–end residential and commercial centers. The land in the
southern suburbs of Seatle City was more than 3,000 acres. Because of the remote geographical
location, it had remained undeveloped for a long time.
The Guerra family had kept the land for many years. On the one hand, it was because the real estate
industry was in a slump and the risk of developing it rashly was high. On the other hand, no one was
willing to take it. If they did, they might be unable to bear the cost and suffer great losses.
However, Shirley… was an unexpected exception.
“Why do you want to rent it? The land is a hot potato, and no one would dare to take it.”
Keith took a sip of coffee and asked curiously.
Shirley smiled and thought, he is quite honest. He even speaks ill of his own family.
“Don’t ask about this. Are you willing?”
Shirley said mysteriously.
“If you want it, I can’t wait to give it to you. But perhaps no matter how much money you invest, your will
get nothing and even suffer great losses in the end. I don’t recommend that you take it. If you want to
engage in the real estate industry, the Guerra family has better land for you. Consider it
carefully.”
Keith said loyally.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJust now, Shirley said that he was her friend. And he regarded her as a friend subconsciously. He
couldn’t cheat friends.
Shirley shook her head and said firmly, “I don’t need anything else. I want that one. If you agree, I will
ask Jim to sign a contract and become your defense lawyer.”
“Deal!”
Seeing that Shirley was so straightforward, Keith said generously, “I will rent it to you at the lowest
price If you develop it well, I won’t interfere with it. But if you don’t, don’t blame me.”
“Deal!”
Shirley took her coffee cup and toasted Keith.
She did not expect that everything would go so smoothly. She thought that it was the most difficult
to persuade Keith.
Sure enough, one should not judge a book by its cover.
Keith’s curiosity toward Shirley grew stronger. He stared at her as if it was the first time he had seen her.
He sighed, “I feel that you’ve become much more pleasing to the eye after your divorce. Do you know
how annoying you used to be?”
Shirley raised an eyebrow and replied, “After the divorce, I feel that my world has become wonderful in
an instant. The people I meet are all good. In the past… I was just a punching bag and was disliked
everywhere I went. It was as if the identity of Braden’s wife was the original sin.”
During the years when she was Braden’s wife, she had lived so carefully and lowly. She tried to curry
favor with everyone, but no one accepted her.
On the contrary, after the divorce, the servants who used to bully her began to respect her. Tracy who
had scolded her did not dare to provoke her. Even Keith, who always rolled his eyes and sneered at her,
talked peacefully with her.
“After thinking about it, I figured out the reason. Braden is not suitable for me. As long as I leave him, I’ll
find my true self, and my life will return to normal.”
Shirley said sincerely with a bitter smile.
“If Braden heard your words, he would probably die of anger..
Keith said, “He is now obsessed with you, but you aren’t. Your thoughts are not in accordance with his,
so you are destined to be a wrong couple.
Shirley laughed coldly. “You must be joking. He didn’t love me at all. It was just a moment of
possessiveness.”
“Maybe.”
Keith sighed, “Braden doesn’t have much experience in relationships. He might not even know if he
loves you or not. However, I can be sure that he has been paying a lot of attention to you recently. He
even asked me to teach him how to pursue girls and took notes seriously. He said that he wanted to
pursue you.”
Pfft!
Shirley spurted out her coffee. She wiped her mouth and said in disbelief, “A big iceberg like him
actually asked you for advice? Are you filming a comedy?”
“I am not joking. I taught him my secret of pursuing girls. He probably benefited a lot…”
Keith told Shirley about his secret of pursuing girls.
Shirley thought about it. It was exactly the same as Braden’s strange behavior these days. She didn’t
know whether to cry or laugh.
“It is funny. No wonder he applied for another account and chatted with me every day. He even said
that he wanted to spend money on me. He and other women… So it was you who taught him that.”
Shirley had originally been angry with Braden, but when she knew the truth, she suddenly felt that
Braden was silly and cute.
“Although he keeps emphasizing that he wants you to cancel the lawsuit against Amelie, I feel that
he cares about you. Otherwise, with his personality, how could he deign to do such shameful things?”
It was because of Amelie…
Shirley sobered up a bit and said lightly, “Whatever. Anyway, it’s over…”
“I think so too.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKeith nodded and said, “Cherry and Karen have probably broken up. I guess Braden and Cherry will
make up. After all, they loved each other very much before.”
Shirley was slightly dazed. “I wish them happiness.”
Keith said, “After today, you and I will be friends. Let go of our past grudges. I also wish you and Ewan
happiness. After all, you have children.”
Shirley smiled.
She did not say anything else.
Perhaps this was the best ending.
As expected, Jim won the lawsuit for Keith.
He found the key evidence and proved that the girl had heart disease. The main cause of her death was
her heart disease, and the secondary reason was that she had taken special medicine. As the person in
charge, Keith only needed to suspend his business for half a month and pay the penalty
fee
However, Keith gave the girl’s family a lot of compensation out of sympathy.
“You are all murderers!
“Evil judge! Bad lawyer! You will get your retribution. My daughter will turn into a ghost and go to you!”
The girl’s parents received the verdict and collapsed. They cried and shouted at the court.
Shirley had nothing to do and attended the court trial. Coincidentally, Braden was also there.
She didn’t greet Braden and acted as if she didn’t know him. As soon as the lawsuit ended, she went up
to Jim and prepared to go back to the law office together.
“Let’s have a meal together. I have to thank all of you. With you, I would have to suffer from
confinement!”
Keith stood in front of Shirley and Jim and invited them warmly.
Shirley originally wanted to refuse, but Jim said passionately, “The lawsuit is really not easy. You
have to treat us to a big meal.”
Thus, the four of them left.
The girl’s parents stared at their backs with hatred…
