Chapter 250 A Hardened Heart
“Me?”
Shirley furrowed her brows, unable to guess what Leon was planning.
Shirley and Braden were now strangers, and she had nothing to do with the Stewart family. How could
Leon ask her for help? He must have overestimated her kindness.
Leon looked serious. He continued, “Half a year ago, I was removed from the position of the chief
researcher of the KCL Group. Meanwhile, I sold part of my shares. Now, the KCL Group has changed
ownership. I heard that the new chairman also has a technical background, but he has a business
mindset more than me. He will reform the entire group from internal management to external partners,
and I have retired. I don’t have a
say at all…
Shirley raised her eyebrows and said indifferently, “Sometimes, a company is like a kingdom. No matter
how prosperous the kingdom is, the dynasty will change sometimes. What exactly do you want to
express?”
“I like freedom. I don’t want to participate in these commercial disputes for a long time, so I don’t care
what the KCL Group will become. All along, because of my relationship with Braden, the KCL Group
and the Stewart Group have cooperated very well and have long become an inseparable community.
Now that something happened to Braden and the new director wants to reform, I am worried that the
follow-up cooperation of both sides will be affected…”
Leon let out a long sigh and said worriedly, “The Stewart Group has always been supported by Braden.
Now, it faces problems from within and without. The Stewart Group is about to sign a strategic
cooperation agreement with the KCL Group about the G6 Chip. It is significant enough to change the
entire electronic technology field. Nothing can go wrong. Otherwise, it will be a devastating blow to the
Stewart Group.”
“So?”
Shirley said coldly, “What does it have to do with me whether the Stewart Group is destroyed or not?
What
can I do to help?”
“You can do it, as long as you are willing.”
Leon revealed a mysterious smile and said flatly, “Now, it is unknown whether Braden is dead or alive.
There are all kinds of rumors outside, and the Stewart Group lacks a strong leader. Also, Antwan and
others are planning something. At this time, it is necessary for someone, who can represent Braden, to
stabilize the situation and to sign a cooperation agreement with the KCL Group…”
When Shirley heard this, she finally understood what Leon meant. She couldn’t help but laugh. “Don’t
tell me
you want me to be the one to stabilize the situation?”
That’s exactly what I meant.”
“You’re crazy. He and I were divorced. Why would I be the spokesperson for my ex-husband? Why
should I make a dramatic scene in the peaceful Seatle City?”
However, Leon explained seriously, “Everyone knows that you have a unique place in Braden’s heart.
He even personally performed ‘Summery Memories’ to get you back. So, as long as you hold a press
conference and
announce to the world that you and Braden have been remarried, it will naturally be reasonable for you
to deal with the Stewart Group on his behalf.”
“Ridiculous!”
Shirley angrily interrupted Leon. “Marriage is not a game. He and I were divorced, and it’s done. Your
suggestion is too absurd. I will never agree to it.”
Leon said, “Calm down for now. It’s only the first step to stabilizing the situation. Most importantly, you
have to handle the KCL Group and take advantage of this time to clean up all those bastards in the
Stewart Group, find out the murderer who murdered Braden and Charles, and let them rest in peace…”
“It’s the police’s job to find the murderer. I can’t do anything about it.”
Shirley felt that everything was too absurd and stood up. She didn’t bother to talk to Leon.
“Do you really not care about the death of Braden at all? Don’t you want to avenge him at all?”
Leon felt that Shirley was not such a ruthless person. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have tried so hard to get close to her and asked her for help.
Shirley took a deep breath and looked cold. “That’s right. Whether he is dead or alive, I don’t care at all.
I’m
not the person you want to turn to.”
Watching Shirley walking far, Leon couldn’t help but shake his head, feeling sad for Braden.
Leon thought, once a woman has no feelings for a man, she will have a hardened heart.
Humph, poor Braden. If you knew this would happen, why did you have to do it back then?
At night, Shirley returned home uneasily.
From Leon’s words, it was not hard to tell that the Stewart Group was in trouble this time, and Braden’s
whereabouts were unknown at such a critical moment. Even if he was still alive, Braden would be in a
terrible
situation.
But so what?
Prosperity was followed by decline. This was the rule for everything. The Stewart Group had been
dominating for so long, and it was going to fall. It was normal.
Even if Shirley promised Leon to help Braden stabilize the situation, she could not reverse the decline
of the
group.
However, Shirley was very curious about who dared to make a move on the heir of the Stewart family
twice.
Thinking of this, Shirley turned on the computer and searched for the news that Charles was killed.
Unfortunately, there was very little news about Charles on the Internet.
Presumably, the Stewart family had specially handled it and did not want to make Charles’ death
public.
This case happened in Newchark five years ago.
Shirley thought that the local police might have a detailed record of this case, so she planned to hack
the local police’s file system.
The Newchark police file system was well-known for its complexity. It used the basic binary code, which
just happened to be Shirley’s weakness.
In the past, during a global hacking contest, she lost to Kaza, who happened to be proficient in this
area.
Did Shirley have to turn to Kaza, this big shot, to make a move again?
However, Kaza wasn’t easy to handle. Recently, he behaved himself and did not come to bother her. If
Shirley came to him now, wouldn’t she look for trouble for herself?
After thinking about it, Shirley decided to rely on herself and try to hack it first.
Shirley tapped on the keyboard fast. She tried again and again, but each time she failed.
In the end, because she had hacked the system too many times and had attracted the attention, the
local police were locked on to her IP address.
“Fuck!”
To keep safe, Shirley had no choice but to log out first.
Shirley thought, forget it. These trivial matters have nothing to do with me. It’s not worth me wasting so
much time.
I might as well look into Ben’s whereabouts earlier.
How’s it going with Nancy at this time? Has Cordell been rescued?
If he’s rescued, will he be willing to tell us where Ben is?
Shirley couldn’t help but worry about Bennett’s situation.
At this time, the doorbell rang.
“It’s so late. Who is it?”
Shirley closed the computer impatiently and went to open the door.
