Chapter 55 A Gift

“You think she is well–behaved, do you?”

Braden flipped through the papers in his hand, saying with a faint smile, “You seem to have misjudged

her

Liam swallowed and gathered himself to reply, “I don’t think there is a misunderstanding.

“Mrs. Stewart has indeed been dutiful all these years. Mr Stewart, she loved you wholeheartedly. She

was sensible and took good care of you. Moreover, she behaved well as your wife when socializing

with others. Lots of people were envious of you for having her stay with you. It’s strang that her

personality suddenly changed dramatically, but I think… the main blame is on you.”

Braden’s handsome face turned gloomy. “What did you say?”

“Mr. Stewart, it’s your fault.”

Liam took the risk of being fired to stand up for Shirley. He said, “Mr Stewart, you have been aloof to

Mrs. Stewart all these years. You even cheated on her Mrs. Stewart must have been heartbroken. That

was why she fooled around together with a playboy like Ewan and set up Korita Group with him to fight

against the Stewart Group.

“I have long seen that Mrs. Stewart is outstanding. After all, she is a good learner, and she is an expert

in the electromagnetic wave domain. She gave up her career and spent all her time on your family

because she loved you deeply. However, you didn’t cherish her and let her go to Ewan. What a pity it Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

is!”

Liam felt alert at the thought of how those clients of the Stewart Group turned to cooperate with Korita

Group. The Burman Group, which had been working with the Stewart Group for many years, was one

of those clients as well.

Only then did Liam realize Ewan’s ambition. With this speed of expansion, Korita Group probably could

be on an equal footing with the Stewart Group in the field of electronic technology in less than

five years.

Liam continued, “To put it bluntly, Ewan’s change is more impressive to me than Mrs. Stewart’s. He is a

famous playboy in Seatle City. He flirted with women from various social classes. It comes as a shock

to me that he abandons them because of Mrs. Stewart and let her at the helm of Korita Group. He

seems to have fallen in love with Mrs. Stewart.”

As he said, Liam cleared his throat. Then, he continued, as if he didn’t care if Braden would be furious

at all, “Mr. Stewart, if you keep annoying Mrs. Stewart, I’m afraid that she will truly leave

you.”

Braden’s face turned sullen as he glared at Liam.

True love?

Korita Group is just a small company. If I wanted to please Shirley in this way, I could give her more

similar companies.

Braden found out that he probably had been mistaken. It seemed that Shirley didn’t work hard to

promote the cooperation between Korita Group and the Burman Group for Ewan. She did so for her

own sake. Ewan probably was just an investor in her mind.

His mood became somewhat better

“Alright, let’s get back to business…”

Liam put on a serious face and said, “The annual International Electronics Technology Summit will be

held in Seatle City three days later By then, many leading enterprises and experts in the field will be

present. KCL Group, a cell phone chip supplier of the Stewart Group, will also participate The Stewart

Group has possessed a high market share of 75% in the electronic technology domain for five years.

Naturally, we need to attend the summit. Mr Stewart, you can’t be absent that day.”

Braden raised his eyebrows and said coldly, “I see. I haven’t seen that guy for a while.”

Shirley arrived at the club.

Without much interest, she came to the fourth floor and wondered where the club’s largest and most

luxurious private room was.

She was glad that she finally succeeded in facilitating the cooperation between Korita Group and the

Burman Group. The cooperation was of memorial significance, so it was suggested to celebrate

together.

Nancy, Shirley’s friend, had mysteriously told Shirley that it would be a surprising night.

“Shirley, I prepared a gift for you according to your preferences. I’m sure you will like it.

Nancy said excitedly on the phone.

“Are you messing with me again?”

As she spoke, Shirley pushed open the door of the private room, and she was shocked at the scene

inside

A dozen well–dressed and handsome men standing in the dimly lit private room came into her

sight.

As soon as they saw Shirley, they wore sinister and arrogant, innocent, indifferent, overbearing, or

gloomy expressions.

“What what’s going on?”

Shirley swallowed, feeling as if she had entered the wrong place.

There came Nancy’s exciting and happy voice on the other end of the phone “Shirley, have you arrived

at the private room? Did you see the gift I prepared for you? All of those men are

eye catching, right?

Shirley stood at the entrance of the private room and was stunned. “Nancy, what the hell are you

doing?”

“Don’t you remember? Didn’t you say that you would give Braden up completely when we celebrated

your divorce that night? Braden doesn’t deserve you at all. There are so many handsome men in the

world. You can stay with anyone you like.

“As your good friend, I will fulfill your wish. Those pretty men in the private room are of various styles. It

costs me a lot to ask them here tonight. Don’t worry. I have put Ewan off with excuses. You can enjoy

yourself. There is no need to thank me!”

“Nancy, you are going too far!”

With an angry look on her face, Shirley shouted, “What are you doing? What if I fail to control myself?”

As she spoke, she observed the handsome men in the room.

She had to admit that Nancy had similar taste in men. No wonder they were close friends.

Although these men were of different styles, all of them were good–looking. Shirley could hardly

maintain calm anymore.

“Alright, I’m busy now. We can talk later”

Shirley hurriedly hung up.

“Good evening!”

A young man, who looked delicate and was in his early twenties, took the initiative to walk toward

Shirley and greet her with an enthusiastic smile.

“You must have been tired after a day’s work. I have prepared delicious snacks and fruits for you.

Come in quickly!”

Shirley found it strange as the young man’s face seemed familiar to her. She asked curiously, “Little

one, have i seen you before?”

Not only did the young man look familiar to her, but she wondered if she had seen the other men in

the room before.

“Do you want to know my name? I’m Alvaro Benitez. You can call me baby as well, but please do not

call me ‘little one‘. I don’t want to be laughed at by others.”

Alvaro showed an aggrieved look. He expressed his dissatisfaction cutely. Shirley felt as if she was

seeing a pitiful puppy in front of him.

She couldn’t help being pleased and tried hard not to stroke his head. She said, “Okay, little one, I

understand.”

Instantly, the other men burst into laughter

Alvaro was not angry. He explained to Shirley softly, “We are trainees from Italy. We just participated in

the most popular variety show and had several advertisements. Now, we have debuted as a group. It is

not strange that you have seen me before”

“Is that so? It makes sense.”

Only then did Shirley vaguely remember that she had seen the advertising of them in the subway not

long ago. They seemed to be called Sparkling Boys.

Back then, she was impressed by a member of them, who was stunning.

Thinking of this, Shirley looked around the room with her eyes full of anticipation.

Just then, she saw a man in a white shirt and a black bow tie sitting in the corner of the room.

The man was not as enthusiastic about Shirley as the others. He lowered his head and immersed

himself in the game as if he was alone in the room. With his noble and indifferent temperament, he was

a square peg in around hole here.

Alvaro followed Shirley’s gaze and then shouted to the man, “Leo!”

The man, whose name was Leo, raised his head at the voice. Under the blurred light, he looked at

Shirley indifferently. His deep facial features were extremely charming.

In an instant, Shirley’s heartbeat quickened. She hadn’t had the same feeling for a long time

Alvaro said to Shirley, “You have good taste. You took a fancy to the most handsome person in our

group at a glance. Do you know what our fans call him?”
