When She Unveils Identities

Chapter 457 You Are Risking Your Neck
Nancy also opened her arms and blocked Shirley's way. "If Keith is telling the truth, going to them now will be no different from
risking your neck. I won't let you take that risk!”
Shirley was very moved by Nancy and Keith's worry for her, but she felt that they had overreacted a little. She smiled and said,
"Don't worry. I am there to resolve the conflict, and that's all. How is that risking my neck? If anyone's neck is risked, it will be
theirs, not mine. You know what I am capable of."
"Of course, I know what you are capable of, but you don't know what the Gilmore family is capable of. To be more precise, you
don't know what your enemy is capable of."
Keith's eyes were serious, which was a rare thing. He said, "Do you know how many people in the entire Seatie City want to take
down Braden? The Gilmore family is just the tip of the iceberg."
"So what? If one stands in our way, I'll take one down. If there are two, I'll get them both."
Shirley clenched her fists, her beautiful face showing absolute confidence.
"That's just your idealized idea. They couldn't take Braden down after all these years. It wasn't because they weren't powerful
enough, or because the Stewart family was too influential, but because Braden never had a weakness. Now that with you and
the kids in the picture, he has a sore spot. No one knows if he can win outright this time..."
Keith could always see things through. He let out a long sigh and said, "My guess is that he left Sunflower Island suddenly and
did not contact you so that you and the kids would be absolutely safe. If you go back now, you will be a burden to him."
"Your words make sense, but I don't want to be a coward hiding in a safe shell and leaving him alone. I want to be a general. I
want to fight with him, to advance and retreat with him."
Shirley said stubbornly.
"No! You're not thinking straight, and I'm not letting you go!"
Nancy put her arms around Shirley's waist and refused to let Shirley go any further. At the same time, Nancy’s eyes were red,
and she asked Keith for help. "Do something! Talk some sense into her. She can be so stubborn sometimes!"

Keith motioned for Nancy to let go of Shirley and then slowly said, "If you insist on leaving, we won't stop you. But before you do,
let me ask you something. Have you ever watched a TV show?"
His question came out of nowhere, catching both Shirley and Nancy off guard.
"Keith, I asked you to persuade Shirley. What the heck are you talking about?"
Nancy could hardly suppress her desire to beat him up.
Shirley was very curious. She raised her thin eyebrows and asked, "I'm not in the habit of watching shows. What are you trying
to say?"
"There was a hit show called 'A Song of Ice and Fire'. It's about a family persecuted by the king who rose up and created their
own regime. At first, Robb, the eldest son of the family, was the one with the strongest leadership and the most starring role. He
recruited men all the way from north to south, and he was in his prime..."
Keith sipped the lollipop while methodically telling the story.
He told the story vividly, and he was a very engaged storyteller. Even the grumpy Nancy was intrigued by his story and couldn't
wait to ask, "And then? Then what? Did Robb win?"
"Robb was about to win, because he married a woman from a very powerful family in the process of recruiting and building up
his ranks. They joined forces to fight against the king and had a high chance of winning. However, Robb let his affection take the
upper hand. On the march, he fell in love with a female nurse, with whom he had a baby, so he decided to make amends with his
fiancee's family and cancel the marriage...
"An annulment was always a great humiliation for a respectable family. And of course, the family in the alliance was very
unhappy. But still, they didn't want to get even with Robb. Unfortunately, Robb was so stupid. He took his mother, wife, ministers,
and other close associates to the seat of the alliance family power to apologize and express their apologies, and also hope that
the family could continue to be their allies..."
Keith could not help but mock, "I've never seen a male lead so stupid."
Shirley slightly frowned and said, ’What's the end of the show?"
"Is there a need to ask? Of course, it was a total wipeout. Only the youngest sister was saved by a kind-hearted person. The
scene is very famous, and it is named by the show's fans as 'Red Wedding'. Robb, his wife, and his mother all died at the party,

their throats slit. His wife was the most miserable. She was pregnant, and they stabbed her in the stomach several times..."
"Enough!"
Nancy had goosebumps all over her body. She quickly stopped Keith from continuing and said, "That's so sick. A total wipeout?"
"It's just a TV show. Relatively speaking, it is quite conservative. If it were in reality, it may get sicker."
Keith sighed.
The Guerra family was one of the top eight families in Seatie City. Being part of the Guerra family, of course, Keith had seen
things and people far more twisted.
"Are you saying that Braden is Robb who called off the marriage, and I am the innocent nurse who got stabbed in the stomach?
Once I go back, I will die?"
Shirley asked Keith, hitting the nail on the head.
"I'm sure you know what I mean."
Keith shrugged. "I can only say that the Gilmore family had a nasty way of getting rich, and the things they did were far more
brutal than some TV shows. If you don't go back, with the Stewart family's status, there might be room for reconciliation between
the two families. If you go back, it will be no different from cornering the Gilmore family. If you push them too far, the
consequences will be destructive."
"He is right. We should sit tight and see how things go. I think Braden is very thoughtful about this.”
Nancy quickly agreed and secretly gave Keith a thumbs up.
Nancy thought, who knows? Keith, the womanizer, is quite glib. With a few sentences, he makes everything clear.
"Alright then. I'll wait."
Shirley finally changed her mind.
"Gosh! Now I am relieved."
Nancy finally let go of Shirley. She and Keith looked at each other and smiled. For the first time, the two stood on the same side.

That night, they drank wine and chatted with each other for a long time. The kids were also particularly energetic. It was already
eleven o'clock at night, and yet they were still not sleepy. They were clamoring for Shirley to coax them to sleep.
In the children's room with a starry ceiling, Shirley was lying in the middle of the bed with her two children on her left and right.
They clutched at her arms like two kittens.
"Mommy, Daddy has been gone for so long. When will he come back? I miss him a little."
Alisha pouted, obviously a little unhappy.
The kids were displeased with Braden in the first place. He managed to leave a better impression on them during those days on
Sunflower Island, and now he let them down by disappearing suddenly.
"Well, it's a bit complicated."
Shirley was a little embarrassed.
Bennett said expressionlessly, "Complicated how? It's so simple. He abandoned us, right? It's not the first time. It's not
surprising."
"But it really isn't..."
Shirley chose to tell them the truth. Then she asked them sincerely, "If you were me, do you think I should fight with him or stay
here until he comes back?"
