When she unveils identities novel (Shirley and Braden)

Chapter 216 We Are Both Unfortunate

"Of course!"

Nancy agreed without hesitation.

Like her brother, Ewan, she trusted Shirley completely and was never wary of her.

"Shirley, help me check him out. I believe in your judgment.

Before Nancy left, she winked at Shirley. Then she patted Cordell on the shoulder and warned, "Be careful. If my friend doesn't agree, I won't marry you!"

"Don't worry. I will let Ms. Wilson know I'm serious about you."

Cordell smiled and looked at Shirley with confidence, "What do you think, Ms. Wilson?"

"Perhaps."

Shirley curled up the corner of her lips slightly. She didn't show much emotion.

After Ewan and Nancy left the ward, Shirley's smile immediately disappeared. She said to Cordell, "Please

close the door."

Cordell closed the door as she asked. Then he walked to Shirley slowly. He kept a smile on his gentle face. "Ms. Wilson, I guess you have investigated me carefully and found out about my past?" Shirley was surprised and snorted, "You are smarter than I thought."

"Ms. Wilson, don't flatter me. It's just that Nancy often talked about you. I know that you are a person who values friendship and is cautious and meticulous. Your good friend suddenly wants to get married. It's reasonable for you to investigate me."

"Good. You are not only smart but also sensible. I can't see any flaws."

Shirley did not expect that Cordell would be so modest. He didn't get angry after knowing that Shirley investigated him. Cordell was so reasonable that she felt a little ashamed of herself.

"Then tell me the truth. What is your purpose for getting close to Nancy?"

Shirley was too lazy to beat around the bush and asked directly.

Cordell smiled calmly, "That's a strange question, Ms. Wilson. I love Nancy. I approached her because I wanted to be with her. I want to marry her and be with her forever."

"You're lying!"

Shirley was very disdainful of his answer. "You can fool a naive and innocent girl like Nancy. But you can't fool me. I know how sick your previous relationship was. Moreover, you are so smart. You must know the

woman you entangled with before is special to us. Right?"

Cordell asked, "Are you referring to Amelie?"

Cordell's gaze changed a little, and his smile faded. "Ms. Wilson, you have got a great network. You even dug out my terrible history of romance....

"Yes. Amelie was indeed my first love. I used to love her so much that I went crazy and did many irrational things. But it has all passed. I also managed to erase it. I don't know how you dug it out. No matter what, I hope you won't use it against me. I have changed. I want to start a new life. Please do me this favor!"

Shirley sneered, "Don't pretend to be innocent. I don't believe that you can easily fall in love with someone after that crazy relationship. You must have approached Nancy with bad intentions!" Shirley had seen through men. They would only pursue profits.

Cordell and Nancy's relationship had progressed too fast. Moreover, Cordell had been with Amelie before, so Shirley had to be alert.

Cordell was not angry. He asked, "Ms. Wilson, you were once crazily in love with a man who didn't love you at all. Right? In the end, you ended up heartbroken. Would you stop seeking love just because of that

relationship?"

Shirley looked sad. She retorted, "I'm different from you. The person you love is Amelie. You should know what kind of person she is. You..."

Cordell retorted wisely, "Braden isn't better than Amelie. We are both unfortunate. You can't judge me. You can fall in love with someone else. Why can't I?"

Then Cordell asked Shirley meaningfully, "Could it be that you can't forget Braden and can't fall in love with

other men?"

"Nonsense!"

Shirley gritted her teeth and denied it.

"Now you can see... You and I are the same. You can fall in love with someone else. Why can't I? You are biased against me because I'm dating your best friend!" "Well... Maybe!"

Unknowingly, Shirley was convinced by Cordell.

Cordell's words made sense, but she still felt that something was wrong. That was because it was too

coincidental.

"If you really have a clear conscience, you should tell Nancy about your past relationship with Amelie. If she

can accept it, I won't say anything."

Shirley made a request to Cordell.

Shirley's biggest concern now was that she might implicate Nancy in trouble.

After all, she had dealt with Amelie before and knew Amelie would cause a lot of trouble for her targets!

"I know what you are worried about. You don't need to remind me about this. I will make it clear to Nancy." Cordell promised Shirley, looking quite sincere.

"Alright. You'd better be honest with me. If you play tricks, I will torture you to death!"

Shirley did not find any holes in Cordell's words for the time being, so she could only warn him.

When Cordell got out of the ward, Nancy, who was waiting outside, immediately went forward. "How is it? Did you get Shirley's approval?"

"I think I have gotten 80%."

Cordell answered honestly.

"Not bad. Keep going!"

Nancy smiled.

She knew well about Shirley. It had exceeded her expectations that Cordell got 80% of Shirley's approval. Cordel! held Nancy's hand and asked a strange question, "Nancy, if one day you have to choose between me and your best friend, who will you choose?"

"Isn't it obvious?"

Nancy replied without hesitation, "I will definitely choose my most beloved friend, Shirley. Don't compete with

her. You won't win."

Nancy didn't look like she was joking. She was serious.

Shirley always said that Nancy valued boyfriends more than friends. But she was actually sensible. Men were like clothes. Friends were like arms and feet. And if Nancy had to choose, she would definitely choose

friends

That was because men would betray and hurt her. Yet, friends would not.

"If Ms. Wilson asks you to break up with me, will you?"

"Yes."

"Will you believe whatever Ms. Wilson says?"

"Yes."

Cordell looked a little disappointed. "OK. I see."

"You are so strange today. Why do you suddenly ask this? What did Shirley say to you?"

Nancy noticed that something was wrong with Cordell.

"Nothing. I was just curious."

Cordell was avoiding her gaze. He still had some secrets, which made him very uneasy.

After Cordell and Nancy separated, Cordell went to the underground parking lot. He got into his car and dialed Amelie's number.

"I've given you what you wanted. When are you going to fulfill your promise?"

Cordell lowered his voice and asked Amelie.

Amelie was no longer crazy as she usually was. She was no longer weak and pitiful. Amelie said coldly on

the phone, "What's the hurry? Just continue to probe. I want to know the exact location of those two

bastards!"
