As Long As She Is Safe
Irving had guessed correctly. Braden had originally planned to completely cut off all ties with Crimson
Pawnshop, so he would not appear as Mr. Quintin.
He even wanted to cancel the SIM card that concealed the IP address.
However, when he saw the video that Irving had sent him which showed that Shirley was suffering in
the water prison, he went crazy. He lost all his reason.
At this moment, he was accompanying Alina to attend a very important family dinner while discussing
the cooperation between the Gilmore family and the Stewart family in he next quarter.
Martin was very satisfied with Braden’s compromise. His words were hinting that the wedding of
Braden and Alina should be on the agenda.
“Braden, you know how I have been treating you all these years. You and Alina have been growing up
together as friends.
The natural and next step is to get married, isn’t it?” “Daddy, you drank too much. How can you talk
nonsense?
I told you that Braden and I are only dating now. We will only get married when we see fit.” lina blushed
and stopped Martin from continuing. She was afraid that Braden would be impatient and stop acting
with her.
“I didn’t talk nonsense. I worked so hard to make the Gilmore family prosper like this. In the future, the
Gilmore family will be handed over to you.
As long as you and Braden get married, it will be handed over to Braden. Braden is so capable.
The Gilmore family will definitely become more and more prosperous in his hands…” Martin patted
Braden on the shoulder, his eyes full of appreciation.
Braden, our family will depend on you in the future. Think about it, with the alliance of the Gilmore
family and the Stewart family, who dares to provoke us?”
“Yes, in the entire Seatie City, other than Braden, who else is qualified to marry the daughter of the
Gilmore family?”
“Come on. No more talks. Cheers!” The other members of the Gilmore family also echoed and toasted
Braden one by one.
“Sorry, everyone. I have to go.” Braden’s expression was cold. He ignored the toasts and got up to
leave.
Alina quickly grabbed his wrist and tried to squeeze out a relaxed smile. “Braden, the family banquet
has just begun. Everyone is having fun.
Isn’t it inappropriate for you to leave so suddenly?” “I have something to deal with.” “What is so
important that makes you leave now?”
Alina smiled, lowered her voice, and pleaded, “I’m begging you, okay? If you leave now, my dad will be
embarrassed. He couldn’t tolerate that.
Can you hold up for another ten minutes? Just ten minutes!” “Not even a minute.” Braden shook off
Alina’s hand with a cold face and left the banquet.
Braden, Braden, wait a minute. Braden, don’t leave!” Alina could still pretend at first, but in the end, she
could not pretend anymore.
She held her head and cried. The originally lively banquet was now silent. Only the sound of breathing
could be heard.
“How dare you! The Stewart family is falling, yet you still dare to be so arrogant. You are stepping on
the dignity of the Gilmore family.
I will never get over this!” Martin was so angry. He flipped the table and threatened to be irreconcilable
with the Stewart family.
Braden turned a deaf ear and walked out of the Gilmore’s house. He started his car and stepped on the
accelerator to the end.
He then arrived at the Crimson Pawnshop as fast as he could. “Where is she? Where is Shirley?”
He was still wearing Mr. Quintin’s black and white mask and headed straight to the water prison. He
questioned Irving who was guarding the door.
“She is inside. “Our boss said that he wanted you to personally undo the shackles and use your life to
exchange for Ms. Wilson’s life,” Irving said carefully.
Although Irving already knew that the man in front of him was an imposter, Braden’s powerful aura still
made him tremble and unconsciously become respectful.
“Then let him do what he says!” Braden pushed the door open without hesitation. “Wait!”
Irving frowned and stopped Braden when Braden pushed the door open. “Think about it carefully. This C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
is a water prison.
If you go in, you may really die. And it will be the kind of suffering that is worse than death!” “As long as
she’s safe, nothing else matters.”
Braden took a deep breath and pushed the door open without hesitation. In the water prison, the water
level had already risen to Shirley’s waist.
In less than five minutes, when the water level rose to her shoulder, at least 500 snakes, insects, rats,
and ants would be automatically released.
There would also be many poisonous snakes. The situation was very urgent.
“Shirley!”
Braden saw her locked with iron chains, and he felt so worried. He shouted out her name loudly. “You
… you really came?”
Shirley was about to doze off since she thought that he would not come. She was about to give up.
When she saw that he really came to save her, she was very touched and no longer doubted that he
was just playing with her.
“I have been looking for you for a long time. Why don’t you want to see me? Why do you want to give
me to Braden? I have many things to tell you.
I have many things to ask you. I…” “Don’t say anything. The water level is about to reach a dangerous
position. Come out of the water prison first!”
Braden knew better than anyone how inhuman the water prison was, so in the four years that he was in
charge of the Crimson Pawnshop, he directly sealed this area.
He didn’t expect that the moment that pervert returned, the water prison was restarted. If he had known
this, he would have destroyed it!
He did not even take off his clothes before jumping into the water prison and rushing to Shirley. He
used all his strength to try to undo her shackles.
Shirley was so cold that her lips were a little pale. Her whole body was wet, but her eyes were bright.
She looked at Braden with great emotion.
“You clearly know that you came to walk into the trap, but you still came to save me. It proves that your
feelings for me are true, so you had difficulties marrying me before, right?
You were coerced by that bad guy Braden, right?” Braden didn’t reply. Braden remained silent the
whole time, only breathing rapidly.
He was focusing on unlocking the shackles, so even though he was in the water, he was sweating.
Shirley thought, relax. I’ll be fine.
It’s just a prank. I was just trying to lure you out. You…Shirley was moved and was about to confess
everything to Braden.
At this time, all the lights in the water prison lit up, and four or five strong men rushed in. “Time off. Cuff
him!”
Larry stood at the highest position and looked down at the two in the water prison. Irving stood next to
him.
“What’s going on? Irving? Didn’t you say that we can deal with this matter ourselves? Why…” “I’m
sorry, Ms. Wilson.
There are some things that I can’t control.” Irving sighed apologetically.
The next second, Braden was cuffed by a few strong men in the original position where Shirley was.
