Chapter 76 – Divorced! Now What to Do?

Cynthal suddenly looked up. She met with Brettley’s rather cold gaze. She panicked a little.

“Brettley, what do you mean by that?“

“Nothing.“ Brettley’s voice was low and icy. “ Remember. I am your brother-in-law, Nellie’s father.“

Then, he flung Cynthal’s hand aside. He looked at Bethan behind coldly. “Continue.“

Bethan bit her lips and continued, “I thought that after the Ferris Wheel incident was over, that would be it, but I did not expect that when I brought Nellie back to my house, another accident happened. Nellie and I were trapped in the room. Someone set our house on fire.

“If it were not for… Mr. Morrison who came in time to rescue me, Nellie and I would not be standing here celebrating Granny Morrison’s birthday.“

Upon her words, Adrian frowned hard and looked at Brettley. “Is that true?“

Brettley said nothing. Adrian then turned to look at Granny Morrison. “Mom, do you know about this?“

Granny Morrison was a little stunned. “I… know of the fire, but…“

She did not know that Cynthal was the main culprit of the fire! Although she was old, she still knew right from wrong.

If she knew that Cynthal was the one that sent people to set the house on fire, she would never have let her go so easily, let alone accept her gifts!

Adrian snickered. “It looks like all of you knew.“

Adrian walked over to Granny Morrison and took Nellie away from her, carrying her in his arms. “One is Nellie’s father, the other Nellie’s great- grandmother. After Nellie almost died in the fire, not only did none of you deal with the perpetrator, you even treated her as a guest, inviting her to your birthday banquet ! Was this the work of you two?“

Then, Adrian looked at Bethan. “You’re worse than a servant! “

Granny Morrison could not take the insult. She immediately defended herself. “I did not know. How could I possibly know? I only knew that she was Brettley’s fiancée. I never thought that she would want to harm Nellie! Also…“

Granny Morrison’s voice was quite nasal. “Brettley was investigating the fire incident. He should know best if it was Cynthal or not. If he said nothing, how would I possibly have known?“

Adrian squinted his eyes and swept a cold glance at Brettley. “Brettley. Tell us. What happened?“

While the crowd was in chaos, Neil, who was in a booth on the second floor, was sipping tea while looking at the events unfolding.

“The things that I have prepared are about to be used.“

He has previously sent all the information about Cynthal harming Nellie to Brettley.

At that moment, Brettley has cold hard proof of the crimes Cynthal has committed. As long as he took this out, Cynthal’s life would be destroyed.

At that thought, Neil picked up some snacks and munched on it.

“But, Boss.“ Zach, who was beside Neil, furrowed his brows. “Why does it look like Mr. Morrison is not about to take the evidence out?“

If he was willing to show the evidence, why would he let Bethan speak for so long? It would save time and effort just by showing the evidence.

Neil furrowed his brows and said in a low voice. “ You’re wrong.“

No matter what, Brettley, that scumbag is still Nellie’s and his biological father.

He knew how much Brettley loved Nellie. How could he forgive Cynthal, who tried to kill Nellie multiple times? Also….

Neil bit his lips. If Brettley did not expose Cynthal, that meant that he did not love his Mommy! He did not love Nellie either!

He only had eyes for Cynthal!

At that thought, Neil’s heart was about to pop out!

“Brettley Morrison, don’t disappoint me! “

Finally, Brettley slowly lifted his head. His eyes were calm. “I have heard of the rumors, but I have no proof that this has anything to do with Cynthal.“

Clank!

The teacup in Neil’s hand fell to the ground. Bethan, on stage, took a step back in disbelief too.

How could this have happened? Brettley was a capable man. If Neil could find out about this, so could he. How could he…

Did he care for Cynthal so much?

Bethan was stumped by the outcome. Even Cynthal was in a daze for a long time, before she finally realized what Brettley had said!

She immediately lifted her head and looked at Bethan smugly. “Did you hear that? There is no proof! If you spew any more nonsense, I’ll report you to the police! “

Looking at how arrogant Cynthal was, Bethan’s heart turned cold.

In the end, Brettley was still protecting Cynthal. Why was that? Was it fine with him even if she hurt Nellie?

Bethan bit her lips hard. Her heart was being wrenched so tightly it was suffering.

She looked at Brettley with reddened eyes. “Why?“

Why was he still protecting Cynthal, at that moment? Why was he not willing to seek justice for his own daughter, even if he knew what had happened?

Brettley swept her a cold glance and sneered at her.

He walked over and lowered his head. He whispered in her ears, “What right do you have to know? I don’t think I need to explain myself to a thief who steals my company data.“

Bethan was stunned. She did not understand what he was talking about. “What do you mean by a thief?“

“Aren’t you one?“ Brettley sneered. “You came here unconditionally to be my servant, when you leave, you were all smiles with my competition, Malcolm Quinn. Didn’t he send you here from the beginning?“

Rumble!

Bethan felt as if her brain instantly exploded. Turns out, this was how he saw her.

He did not see her unconditional care for Nellie all this while. He only saw her exchanging pleasantries with Malcolm, sitting together.

A cold smile swept across her face. Bethan smiled. She smiled in despair and helplessness.

She was wrong. She should not have any expectations for this man.

The lesson six years ago was hard enough for her. She should not have expected that he would place his daughter’s life before Cynthal.

Yes. Six years ago, he was willing to kill for Cynthal. Why would he blame Cynthal for killing his daughter six years later?

She always thought that Brettley was heartless. Brettley was not heartless. He was only heartless toward her. He loved Cynthal deeply.

She took a deep breath and raised her head. She walked past Brettley to the emcee, who was long in shock. She picked up the microphone and said domineeringly, “Since Mr. Morrison is incapable of investigating this matter, to find evidence that this woman is trying to harm his daughter, I, as a maid, could only take it into my own hands.”

Then, she looked up at the booth on the second floor. “Neil.”

Damn it.

Neil slapped his head. His Mommy was looking for him to show proof of Cynthal trying to harm Nellie.

However, he has given all of his findings to Brettley.

The reason why he gave Brettley all his findings was not because he trusted Brettley fully, he was merely taking a bet.

If Brettley would use the findings to deal with Cynthal, that meant that Brettley was still worthy of trust.

If he did not do it, that was a lesson he would remember for life! Brettley Morrison could not be trusted!
