Chapter 72 – Divorced! Now What to Do?

“Is Mr. Morrison finally going to announce his marriage with Cynthal?“

“It has been five years! The engagement is finally coming to an end! “

“I can’t wait to see this perfect match-made in heaven get married…“

People kept chiming in.

Bethan bit her lips and looked at Cynthal on stage.

At that moment, Cynthal was also looking at her. Her eyes were filled with condescension and arrogance.

“You all got it!“

Granny Morrison and Cynthal exchanged looks, then she smiled and held her hand. “My grandson, Brettley Morrison, has finally decided to marry Cynthal! “

It was an instant uproar.

After the uproar died down, they finally found a problem. If it was a marriage announcement, why was Brettley, the man of the hour, not there?

”Granny, Ms. Peterson, where is Mr. Morrison?” Someone boldly asked.

The crowd began to wonder. If it was a marriage announcement, the groom should be there. Why was Brettley not there? Why was it only Cynthal and Granny Morrison announcing the marriage?

“Because Brettley is not here.“

Malcolm, who was on the sofa, looked at the stage. He smiled a little. “A few minutes ago, Brettley got a call. His father was at the airport and asked him to pick him up.“

Bethan furrowed her brows. “Brettley’s father is coming?“

She has married Brettley for many years, not once has she seen his father.

It was said that Brettley’s mother died when she gave birth to him, from then onward, his father has been depressed ever since. Wallowed himself in drinking. He was not willing to even look at Brettley.

In his eyes, Brettley was bad luck. If there was no Brettley, his wife would not have died, so he has never once taken part in Brettley’s life.

Brettley rarely mentioned his father too.

Back then, Bethan had to ask the older servants about Brettley’s father. The servants told her that he has never been back to Banyan City for a long time.

His father found a traveling diary that belonged to his mother before she died, so Brettley’s father took her ashes to travel the world.

“Perhaps it’s because of his mother’s eightieth birthday.“

Malcolm shrugged. “But, this is a good show. Brettley went to pick his father up. He would most likely be back only half an hour later. These two announce the marriage when he’s not around. When Brettley comes back, everything has been set in stone. They played a good move.“

Bethan pursed her lips. She suddenly stood up.

Malcolm furrowed his brows. “What are you doing?“

“I’m taking Nellie away.“ She overestimated Brettley. I f Brettley could not deal with Cynthal’s schemes, how dare he confidently say that he could protect Nellie?

Cynthal’s hostility toward Nellie was obvious!

If Brettley could not even protect Nellie, she had to take Nellie away before he announced her identity to the family!

“Bethan! “

Malcolm frowned and pulled her back. “How are you planning to take her away? Brettley’s men are all around. You can’t possibly manage to escape with Nellie. If you get caught, how are you going to explain yourself? Are you going to tell Brettley that you are actually…“

Bang!

Before Malcolm could say any further, the door of the venue was slammed open.

The audience looked toward the sound.

A man in a navy blue suit was standing by the door. He was carrying a little girl in a dress in his arms, slowly walking in.

It was no one other than Brettley Morrison, who was supposed to be on the way to the airport.

On stage, Cynthal panicked. She subconsciously looked at Granny Morrison and said in hushed tones, “Isn’t he supposed to pick uncle up?“

Granny Morrison looked confused too. “I sent him away Because of Cynthal’s jewelry, Granny Morrison and Cynthal came up with a plan that night. They got Brettley’s father to arrive right before the banquet, then they got him to call Brettley to pick him up. Although Brettley was not close to his father, he was still a filial son after all. He would still pick him up. When he left, the two of them would announce the marriage.

By the time Brettley came back, everything would be set in stone. He would not dare to make a fuss during Granny Morrison’s birthday banquet.

They thought that their plan was flawless. They did not expect that Brettley would be back so soon.

“Granny, surprised to see me?“

Brettley, who was carrying Nellie, walked toward the stage.

Everyone was looking at Brettley and the little girl in his arms.

The little girl was about five or six years old. She was petite and pretty. Especially the face! It was similar to Brettley’s!

People started covering their mouths in shock. Turns out, Brettley’s face on a girl would be equally pretty!

The little girl in his arms was without a doubt his daughter.

Here was the problem. His ex—wife passed away six years ago. He has been married to Cynthal for five already.

Where… did the child come from?

The audience below the stage kept guessing while Brettley brought Nellie up to the stage.

Looking at Granny Morrison’s and Cynthal’s shocked expressions, Brettley smiled faintly. “Granny, when you kept getting me to pick my father up, I knew something was up.“

He only did not expect that Cynthal would be so bold! She dared to announce a thing like that with Granny Morrison while he was not around!

She must have suspected that Granny Morrison was desperate, that was why she dared to be so reckless.

Cynthal’s face instantly turned pale. She bit her lips and could not say anything.

Granny Morrison furrowed her brows. She walked over and put Cynthal behind her, protecting her. “It was my idea. Why didn’t you pick your father up?“

“Him? “ Brettley smiled but his eyes were cold. “He’s only a stranger. Why should I pick him up myself?“

Getting Lucas to pick him up was already showing him enough respect.

Other than giving him life, his father did nothing for him.

Granny was so furious her face turned pale. “You…“

“Everyone.“ Brettley went past her and walked to the emcee. He picked up the microphone. “I have an important announcement to make today, but it’s not about my marriage.“

The audience was in an uproar.

“I want to announce that I have found my daughter.“

Brettley smiled and looked at everyone. “Let me formally introduce to all of you. This is my daughter, Nellie.“

This girl was actually Brettley’s daughter!? The entire crowd was in an uproar once again. Everyone was discussing among themselves in hushed tones.

In the end, one of them was bold enough to ask, “Mr. Morrison, can you tell us who the child’s mother is? “ “Bethan Peterson.“

Brettley openly admitted in front of everyone. “It’s my wife, Bethan Peterson. Back then, after the accident, no one could locate her body. I sent men to search the seas for a long time but no one found her. I always felt that she was still alive. Turns out, I was right.

Not only is she not dead, but she even gave birth to such a cute daughter.”
