Chapter 254 Glory or Ruin
Shirley loo ked back at the computer on the desk and let out a long sigh. Shirley wondered, if I could
hack into the Newchark police database and get detailed information about Charles’ shooting case,
would everything
be clear?
“Shirley, don’t worry. No matter what the other party’s goal is, as long as Ben is back safely, we don’t
have to
be afraid of them.”
Ewan looked at Shirley’s worried face and comforted her.
“You’re right. I shouldn’t be that worried.”
Shirley rubbed her forehead. She didn’t want to waste too much effort on this matter.
Anyway, Shirley didn’t want to care about Braden’s life and death. She just wanted her two children to be
safe.
Shirley put away the picture and looked at Bennett. She felt sorry and said to him, “Ben, let’s make a
deal. In the future, without my permission, you are not allowed to run around, OK?”
Bennett nodded. “OK, Mommy. If I have anywhere I want to go to in the future, I will ask for your
permission
first. Don’t be angry anymore, OK?”
“OK Give me a kiss, and I won’t be angry anymore.”
Shirley pointed to her cheek as she said so.
“Well. OK, Mommy…”
Bennett spread his hands like a little adult. Then, he tiptoed, kissed Shirley’s face, and stroked Shirley’s
head
like he was coaxing a baby. “Shirley, don’t be angry anymore. It won’t do any good to your health.”
Shirley was speechless.
In the next few days, Shirley had been busy with rebuilding the Wilson’s house and the affairs of the
Korita
Group. She acted as if Braden’s death was just a small episode in Shirley’s life.
But the more Shirley acted like this, the more worried others were.
Ewan felt that people’s negative emotions needed to be dispelled. If Shirley kept suppressing it like this,
there
would be big problems sooner or later.
After thinking so, Ewan discussed with Nancy and tried to think of a way to make Shirley release her
emotions.
“OK. I got it. I am good at having fun. Just leave it to me!”
After chatting, Nancy patted her chest and promised Ewan confidently.
In any case, Nancy had finally broken off with Cordell, who was rescued. These days, Nancy felt very
unhappy and wanted to vent it.
At this moment, Shirley was sitting in the conference room of the headquarters of the Korita Group. She
was having an important meeting with the higher-ups of the company.
All these years, Shirley had not been appointed to any position in the Korita Group. All the major
decisions in the company were made by Ewan, who was the president. But in fact, these higher-ups all
knew that Shirley was the soul of the Korita Group.
Without Shirley, a small technology company like the Korita Group had long been eaten by its
competitors in
the fierce commercial war.
But, of course, there were many higher-ups who were not convinced of Shirley.
Ewan’s third sister, Cecelia Parker, was one of them.
There were a total of eight children in the Parker family in this generation. The eldest to the fifth were all
girls. Ewan was the only male child in the Parker family in this generation. Naturally, Ewan took on the
responsibility of inheriting the family business of the Parker family.
Among Ewan’s five elder sisters, the third sister, Cecelia, was the strongest and the most business-
minded. Cecelia had always been helping Ewan to manage the Parker family’s business.
In the past, Ewan asked his grandfather, Herbert Parker, for a big sum of money and established the
Korita Group. Ewan said that he wanted to enter the communication technology market.
The Parker family relied on the gray business to start their business, and the family business was also
related to the gray business.
When Ewan said he wanted to change his career, he was ridiculed by the whole family. They thought
that Ewan only established this company to pick up girls and would fail sooner or later.

After all, the head company in the field of communication technology was the Stewart Group. They
occupied almost seventy to eighty percent of the market. So how could Ewan be able to have a share?
Only Cecelia supported Ewan and even invested in the Korita Group. Now, she was the third largest
shareholder of the Korita Group.
As the Korita Group’s business had been expanding, Cecelia’s appetite grew day by day. Cecelia was
unwilling to let a woman with a different surname get more power than her.
Therefore, when Shirley began to speak during the meeting, Cecelia directly interrupted and argued with
her. “Ms Wilson, are you saying that we still need to invest capital to build a research and production
base? This is too risky. Also, it doesn’t meet the current development plan of the Korita Group. I won’t
agree.”
Four years ago, Shirley proposed to let the Korita Group build its own research and production base. At
that time, three-quarters of the higher-ups, including Ewan, objected to it.
However, because of Shirley’s insistence, Ewan finally overrode all objections. He even secretly used a
large number of the Parker family’s funds to support Shirley unconditionally.
Unfortunately, after the production and research center was built, it brought no profit to the company. It
even
made a loss
Cecelia asked Shirley with a serious expression, “If a family company wants to build its own research
and development base, the investment will be huge. In these years, the Parker family has almost
emptied its family funds to support the Korita Group. Now, the family can finally have a break. But you
proposed to invest more. Ms. Wilson, I wonder whether you want to lead the Korita Group to glory or to
destroy the Korita Group.”
