Chapter 75 – Divorced! Now What to Do?

Someone yelled from the crowd, “That’s Mr. Morrison’s father, Adrian Morrison! “

“Mr. Morrison was also a well-known jewelry designer back then…“

“It’s a pity that he stopped doing that after the passing of his wife.“

“Who knew that he would turn up tonight.“

Under the discussions, Adrian slowly walked over to Nellie. He bent down and took over the design sketches from Nellie. “Let Granddad have a look.“

Nellie was a little stunned. She subconsciously looked at Brettley.

After getting his approval, she pursed her lips and handed over the sketches to Adrian. “Granddad, can you see it? When I designed this, I was thinking about…“

Nellie looked at Bethan timidly. “I was thinking about when my mother and father can reunite and love each other. I want to have a complete family, but I know this is very far-fetched, just like the stars in the skies, so I named this set of jewelry the Stargazing.“

Adrian looked at the sketches in silence. “Good kid. “

He raised his hand and gently patted Nellie on her head. “I believe that you designed this.“

Many years ago, Adrian started to pay attention to a jewelry designer called Y. The reason he paid attention to her was because he felt that the child’s design was similar to one he gave to Brettley’s mother back then.

The reason he was willing to attend Granny Morrison’s birthday banquet was because he heard that the Stargazing was about to appear during her birthday. Because he has followed Y as a designer for a long time, when he saw Nellie’s sketches, he knew immediately that Y must have drawn them.

He hugged Nellie. Then, he turned to look at Cynthal coldly. ”Miss, you said that my granddaughter was lying just now right? It’s you who is lying.”

Being exposed on the spot by Brettley’s father, Cynthal was a little embarrassed.

“Nellie is your granddaughter, of course, you’ll side with her! I don’t believe that a young child like her could come up with a world -famous design! I also don’t believe that the one in her hand is the real one! “

Cynthal bit her lips. A thought suddenly came to her.

“Yes, my set of jewelry is the real one! I bid them from Malcolm Quinn! Everyone knows that someone gave Mr. Quinn the set of jewelry previously! The jewelry with other people might be fake, but the set that Mr. Quinn has is definitely the real one! I bought it from him! “

Although the one that she bought was a fake, she has already made a deal with Malcolm, saying that the one she bought was the real one.

She could use Malcolm as her excuse!

“But, “ Malcolm, who has been watching the events unfold, did not expect that he would be embroiled in it He stood up and shrugged nonchalantly. “I remember when I named my price, Ms. Peterson, you found it too expensive. I did not sell that set to you.“

The crowd was in total silence.

Someone said in hushed tones, “I never would have thought to see Mr. Quinn here.“

“The Quinns and the Morrisons are business rivals, right? Why would Malcolm Quinn attend Granny Morrison’s birthday banquet? Have they made peace? “

“Maybe they are going to work together. What a poor thing. Ms. Peterson thinks that she could use Mr. Quinn as a shield, who knew that he would be here…“

“How embarrassing…“

Among the discussions, Cynthal instinctively took a few steps backward. “I -Impossible…“

How could Malcolm attend Granny Morrison’s birthday banquet? She bit her lips hard. Her nails dug into her palms. “Mr. Quinn, you… we had made a deal.“

“Oh.“ Malcolm smiled. “You mean our previous deal? I remember that you paid me, but you requested me to announce to the public that I have already sold the Stargazing. You never told me to say that I have sold it to you. Not to mention asking me to lie for you.“

The crowd was in an uproar once again!

Cynthal could not afford the real set of jewelry, yet she got Malcolm to announce that he had sold the jewelry. This was enough to prove that not only was the jewelry that Cynthal had acquired was a fake set, but she also lied!

At that moment, she did not even have a chance to retort or lie her way out anymore!

Standing on stage, Cynthal’s face turned blue. Her entire body stiffened like a statue.

How could this…

How could this happen? She had planned everything. She had prepared it all.

Where did it go wrong?

“My good great-granddaughter!” When the truth was out, Granny Morrison immediately rushed to Nellie and hugged Nellie with one arm, while touching the real set of jewelry with the other.

“Why did you not say so earlier?” If she knew that Nellie was a jewelry designer with the real set of jewelry in her hands, she did not need to constantly give in to Cynthal’s demands all this while.

Nellie was a little resistant to her touch, but she still obediently said, “Great -Granny, I only wanted to give you a surprise.”

“This is a great surprise! “

Granny Morrison sighed and looked at Adrian. “Nellie’s designing talents must be from you, isn’t it?”

Adrian smiled lightly. “Maybe.“

Actually, talent was just a small portion. Nellie must have put in hard work, on top of the guidance from her teacher, only she could design such stunning work at a young age.

While the family was reuniting happily, Cynthal, on the other side, has already thrown the fake set of jewelry away. She was about to sneak off.

“Ms. Peterson! “

The moment she turned around, a gentle yet firm woman’s voice rang through. Cynthal shuddered.

She could hear that this was Bethan’s voice.

“Ms. Peterson.“ Bethan slowly walked to the stage. “You should not leave just like that. We still have things to settle.“

She has to destroy Cynthal once and for all that day. If not, Nellie exposing her was enough for Cynthal to resent Nellie and seek revenge.

Cynthal furrowed her brows and glared fiercely at Bethan. “I have nothing to say to you! “

“You have nothing to say to me, but what about Ms. Nellie?“

Bethan sneered and walked up the stage. “You all must be curious as to who I am. Let me introduce myself. I am Nellie’s personal maid. It was such a coincidence. Ms. Nellie has only returned to Mr. Morrison for only a month, but she has almost died twice. Twice, I was with her.“

Then, Bethan smiled and looked at Cynthal. “Ms. Peterson, do you know what happened?“

Cynthal’s face instantly turned the color of ash. She knew what Bethan was going to say. She bit her lips hard. “I don’t know what you’re talking about! How should I know? This little b*t… girl is probably just unlucky! “

Adrian could sense something was up from their conversation. He furrowed his brows and looked at Bethan. “Tell us.“

“Okay.“ Bethan nodded. “The first incident was a month ago. Ms. Peterson said she wanted to bring Nellie to the amusement park to get to know her better, yet when Nellie and I went on the Ferris Wheel, it broke down. At that time, we were at the highest point. The door of the Ferris Wheel was even broken. If it were unlucky, we would have fallen from thirty meters high. At that time, Ms. Peterson was down below. Not only did she not get help, but she even delayed the staff from helping us.“

Cynthal gritted her teeth hard. “You’re talking nonsense! “

Then, Cynthal was about to attack Bethan, Brettley took a step forward and grabbed her hands. “Let her speak.“

Cynthal seemed to have found support. She looked at Brettley with teary eyes. “Brettley, my brother-in-law. She’s accusing me of things I’ve not done! Nellie is my niece. How could I harm her! Didn’t you see how worried I was the other day? I was so worried I cried! “

Bethan found it humorous. “Ms. Peterson, you’re an actor. Crying comes easy for you.”

Then, she swept a cold glance at Cynthal. “You’re putting on an act now too, right?”

Cynthal’s face turned pale.

She bit her lips and continued pestering Brettley. “ Brettley, you understand me the most! How could I be that sort of person?”

Brettley was silent, standing in front of her.

In the end, he sneered, “You still remember that I’m your brother-in-law?”
