When she unveils identities novel (Shirley and Braden)
Chapter 507

Chapter 507 Who Can Avoid Troubles

"Haha, what else could it be? Of course, it's because Alice is your doppelganger!"

The agent enthusiastically patted Shirley and excitedly said, "You two look so much alike, and everyone in our industry says that Alice is your substitute. The first movie Alice starred in was the hit fanfiction Summery Memories with the famous Mr. Stewart.

Who wouldn't fall for it? That movie made Alice an overnight sensation...' Shirley tucked her hair and continued to respond awkwardly, "I see. I've heard a little about it."

"What a pity, Mr. Stewart is now with Ms. Gilmore of the Gilmore family. The CP we once shipped has eventually come to a BE.”

The agent sighed deeply, looking at Shirley with regret and sympathy. Shirley watched Alice filming from afar and couldn't help gossiping with the agent, 'Is Ms. Alice single now?'

"Her?"

The agent also looked at Alice from a distance, then smiled with a pursed lip. 'She has a powerful backer now, so we cant just gossip about it!"

"Who is the powerful backer she relies on? Keith?"

"No, no, no, an even bigger backer than Mr. Guerra."

"Someone with more influence than Keith?!"

Shirley felt she was close to the truth and couldn't wait to ask, "Who is it? Didn't Keith support her all along? Did something unpleasant happen between the two of them?"

Shirley guessed that there must have been some significant conflict between the two, so significant that Keith had been psychologically affected, causing him to hesitate and struggle with his feelings now. "I'm not sure about the details. All I know is that initially..."

The agent was about to indulge in a long chat out of admiration for Shirley, but Alice finished filming at that moment and walked towards them, assisted by an umbrella holding helper.

"Sorry for the wait, Ms. Wilson."

Alice interrupted their conversation with a smile and elegantly sat down on the chair pulled open by her assistant.

Shirley observed the woman in front of her and thought back to her first encounter four years ago. The innocent shyness and unpretentious charm of a natural lily had vanished, replaced by smooth worldliness from years spent in the spotlight. Shirley couldn't help but feel a little regret...

"Miss Alice, you've become even more beautiful than I remember. Fame really does have its perks."

Shirley exchanged polite pleasantries with Alice, hoping to quickly dissolve any barriers between them.

Alice lowered her head with a charming smile, then sent her agent away. "Tianna, there's an endorsement deal. Can you help me connect with the business side?"

"Of course, Alice. You go ahead and chat with Ms. Wilson.'

The agent tactfully left, giving the two enough space.

"Ms. Wilson, is there anything important that you specifically contacted me for? There's no one else here, so you can speak directly."

Alice held a cup of hand-ground coffee, her sharp gaze fixed on Shirley as she spoke candidly.

They were both straightforward people who didn't like to beat around the bush. And

Alice knew she was here for something.

"Then I'll be frank..."

Shirley straightened her posture and cleared her throat, "What's the relationship between you and Keith now? Did anything unpleasant happen between you two?"

Alice's coffee-drinking movement paused, obviously surprised. "I thought Ms. Wilson was here for Mr. Stewart, but it turns out it's for Keith. It seems that your relationship with Keith is quite special!" Shirley frowned.

There was something off about the tone of Alice's words.

Her expression cooled a bit, and her tone became sharper, 'Indeed, it's quite special. We've been through life and death together, so I hope to give him a hand.'

"In that case, do you like Keith?"

"It's not necessarily just about liking between men and women...'

Shirley didn't want to beat around the bush, so she laid her cards on the table. "To put it simply, my friend likes him, and it seems that he has feelings for my friend too. But he's a bit strange; he likes her but doesn't dare to start a relationship. So I was thinking, is there some unresolved issue in his heart, and perhaps, Ms. Alice, this issue is related to you?"

"Has feelings for your friend?"

A hint of jealousy flashed in Alice's eyes, followed by a cold smile. "I'm afraid your friend is just wishful thinking. Keith has deep feelings for me, and he won't easily fall for someone else. I've been rejecting him before, but after some things happened, I realized my feelings for him. So I've made up my mind to be with him. I guess that's why he rejected your friend."

"Really? Is that true?"

Alice's words left Shirley feeling disheartened.

After all, it was well known how much Keith had pursued her over the years. It didn't seem like a lie.

"I'm really sorry. Our conflict has affected a third person. I will visit your friend with Keith later to apologize..."

"No need for that."

Shirley sighed, silently feeling heartache for Nancy, "Just explaining the situation is enough. I wish you and Keith the best."

"Wait."

Alice suddenly called out to Shirley.

"What is it?"

"You have time to care about your friend's love life, but you don't care about your own at all?"

"What do you mean?'

"I heard that Mr. Stewart encountered some troubles. As Mr. Stewart's ex-wife, don't you care at all?"

"Oh... That?"

Shirley guessed that Braden's conflicts with her brother had been exposed and pretended to be indifferent. "In the world, who can avoid troubles? As long as he's alive, that's enough.'

"Ms. Wilson, your words are really chilling. I feel cold for Mr. Stewart. Don't you feel even a bit guilty?"

"What guilt could I have? He offended someone, and it's his own fault. Even if he dies, I won't shed a tear."

Perhaps trying to convince herself, Shirley deliberately sounded cold and heartless.

Before leaving, she picked up the cup of coffee on the table, took a sip, and said to Alice, "Thank you for your concern, Ms. Palmer. The coffee is good."

Alice watched Shirley's retreating figure, moved the microphone clipped to her waist, and whispered, "Godmother, I've asked all the questions you wanted. Ms. Wilson is indeed a ruthless person. I feel so sorry for Braden!"

On the other end of the microphone was Tracy, who was furious. She had listened to Shirley's attitude throughout the conversation, and her last shred of illusion had been mercilessly shattered.

Tracy originally thought that Shirley didn't know about Alina and Braden's sufferings, and that there must have been some misunderstandings between them.

Now it seemed that there was no misunderstanding at all. It was simply that this woman was heartless and vicious.

"In that case, I don't need to show any mercy. Let them take action!"

Tracy's eyes were cold and emotionless as she gave the order.

For Shirley, this order was like a death sentence!
