Chapter 253 Mr. Quintin And Crimson Pawnshop
Ewan said, “Of course, it’s not wrong. We are men. It is our duty to protect your Mommy.”
Bennett continued to ask, “Then do you think I am the kind of child who is stupid enough to be fooled by
bad
guys?”
“Of course not. Ben, you are so smart. Most often, you are the one who fools those bad guys.”
“That’s right… I want to protect Mommy. And I want to help Mommy. But at the same time, I can also
guarantee my safety. Then may I ask what I did wrong?”
“Eh…”
Ewan touched his chin. He suddenly felt that Bennett’s words were very reasonable. Thus, Ewan
changed his side and began to persuade Shirley, “I think Ben is right. You shouldn’t have punished him
for what he did. Don’t be angry. If you want my opinion… I think you should apologize to Ben.”
“Ewan!”
Shirley stomped her feet in anger. “He is a child, but you are an adult. How could you be confused at this
time? Do you also want to make me angry?”
Ewan said, “I am just telling the truth. Ben is not an ordinary child. You should respect him and give him
space to play freely. Don’t restrict his future.”
“Yes. That’s right. Ewan is right. Mommy, you should respect me and trust me. You should let me take
the responsibility of taking care of you and protecting you.”
Ewan and Bennett took turns brainwashing Shirley.
But Shirley refused to listen to them. She said to Bennett, “Do you know who the woman you met this
time is? She had set traps against you. But you didn’t notice it and let her treat you as her minion. She
only used a few toys and snacks to have successfully fooled you. Don’t you feel ashamed?”
When Shirley thought about it, she still had a lingering fear.
Amelie must have wanted to kill Bennett. If Bennett had not been lucky enough to escape this time, he
might
have already been dead!
“It’s not like that!”
Bennett curled his lips and said with his face full of disdain, “I knew she was not a good person. I kept
playing dumb with her so that she could take me to see Mr. Quintin…”
“Who is Mr. Quintin?”
Shirley was confused and asked so.
“Mr. Quintin is very powerful. He is a subordinate I specially selected for you to help you deal with
Braden. Mr. Quintin promised me. He is willing to be your subordinate and follow you to make great
achievements.”
Bennett was just like a little adult, and he looked very proud now.
Ewan frowned and didn’t believe it. He asked in a low voice, “Mr. Quintin? Ben, are you talking about the
boss
of Crimson Pawnshop?”
“That’s right. He has many treasures in his house. I will ask him to pick two or more and give you as
gifts.”
Bennett raised his chin and said with a proud and generous expression.
“How is that possible? The boss of Crimson Pawnshop is famous for being mysterious and difficult to
deal with. Some people call him Midnight Ghost. How can he listen to a little kid like you? I don’t believe
that he is willing to listen to you and be Shirley’s subordinate,” Ewan said.
Ewan was too shocked, so he thought that Bennett was lying.
But Bennett did not mind Ewan’s attitude. He said, “Why is it impossible? He must think that my Mommy
must be a good superior. Think about yourself, Ewan. You are also very powerful. But you have also
become my Mommy’s subordinate.”

Bennett’s words made Shirley and Ewan look at each other, not knowing how to respond.
In the past few years, Shirley had been focused on doing experiments on Sunflower Island. She knew
nothing about the outside world and naturally didn’t know the background of Mr. Quintin.
However, after hearing Ewan’s words, Shirley couldn’t help but feel a lingering fear. She pulled Bennett
over and checked him up and down carefully. Shirley asked Bennett nervously, “Did that Midnight Ghost
hurt you? Or did he do anything strange to you?”
“No. Mr. Quintin treated me very well. He gave me whatever I wanted. I asked him to be your
subordinate, and he agreed… But he has been a little busy recently. He said that he needed to go to
another place. After he is done with his business, I will arrange for the two of you to meet.”
Bennett crossed his arms in front of his chest, looking like a big boss who was in control of the overall

situation.
Shirley frowned and was puzzled. “This is too strange. Since that person is so powerful and has made a
deal with Amelie, why did he not hurt Bennett and even promised Bennett to be my subordinate?”
But Ewan felt that this was not a big deal. He guessed and said casually, “What other reason could it be?
He must have been subdued by Ben’s cuteness and couldn’t bear to hurt him! As for agreeing to be your
subordinate or something, it must be his joke to the child. You don’t have to take it too seriously.”
But Shirley shook her head and said, “No. I don’t think it’s that simple. That person must have his own
plans.
We can’t let our guard down.”
“How should I put it? The business that Crimson Pawnshop was doing a few years ago was indeed
illegal. It was said to be a pawnshop, but what it did was totally illegal. But their movements have been
reduced these years. I guess it has made a lot of money and is ready to whitewash itself…”
As Ewan said this, he suddenly thought of something. Then, he added, “However, some people
suspected
that Charles, the eldest son of the Stewart family, was killed by the people of Crimson Pawnshop. Thus,
Crimson Pawnshop and the Stewart family have always been enemies. Four years ago, there was a
huge conflict between the two sides, and Braden almost died. After that, Crimson Pawnshop became
much
quieter. Although Crimson Pawnshop was notorious, it didn’t do anything evil again since then.”
After Shirley heard this, her expression became serious, and she fell into deep thought.
Shirley wondered, could it be that Mr. Quintin has something to do with Braden’s death?
