Brettley’s magnetic voice rang through. “She’s not wrong in describing me as a scumbag.”
Brettley looked at Bethan deeply. “Back then, I did a lot of terrible things to her. I dismissed her efforts and ignored her feelings. I thought I was a good husband, but not once did I do what a husband should do.”
Brettley looked at Bethan, but somehow it was not Bethan he was looking at.
Bethan’s face has morphed into Bethan Peterson’s face with teary eyes.
Thus, his gaze toward her became extremely tender. “After she left me, only did I realize that the most important person to me on this earth is her, but… I don’t know if she would forgive me.”
Brettley’s tone and attitude were sincere.
Seeing his gaze which was filled with guilt, Bethan sniffled and immediately looked away.
Her eyes and nose were sore.
She knew that it was fake. It was all fake!
Brettley was still the ruthless, heartless man back then. He was great at pretending and acting!
However, even if he was terrible, he was still the man that she once loved deeply. A man that she wholeheartedly committed to.
She could not take it any longer. She could not hold back her tears.
“Ms. Bethan, don’t be sad. Mr. Morrison knew what he did was wrong. Go back to him.”
The reporter kindly gave Bethan a packet of tissues.
When Bethan calmed down, the reporter took a deep breath. “I’m very clear that the two of you have a deep and moving love for each other. My last question for you two. How long have you two been together?”
Brettley looked at Bethan flatly. “One day.”
The reporters were all speechless.
They talked so movingly, but they had only been together for a day!?
The reporters left in disbelief.
When all the reporters left, Brettley looked at Bethan coldly. He threw the tissue by his side over. “Great acting.”
Bethan felt as if her tears were just a joke, upon hearing his words. She accepted the tissues and wiped off her tears. She said mockingly, “Your acting is great too, Mr. Morrison.”
“I wasn’t acting.”
Brettley looked at Bethan deeply. “I saw you as Bethan Peterson just now.”
Bethan found it humorous. “So, the things you said just now were from your heart?”
She did not believe a single word!
He seemed to have read her mind. Brettley calmly stood up. “You can believe what you want.”
Then, he stood up and strode off. Bethan was still sitting on her chair.
After a few steps, Brettley stopped in his tracks. “Why are you not moving, don’t you want to head to the mental asylum?”
Bethan paused for a while before jumping up. “We’re going now?”
“If not?”
Brettley did not turn back. He only looked in front aloofly. “Since you’re her friend…”
No matter what Bethan wanted to do, he would try to help her, including seeing Cynthal.
Before heading to the mental asylum, Bethan made a trip back to the office. She took off her jacket previously because it was too hot in the office, but her recording device was in the jacket’s pocket.
When she entered, Bonnie was sitting at her desk. She did not know what she was doing.
Upon seeing her return, Bonnie smiled awkwardly. She put down Bethan’s sketch.
“A master of jewelry design from overseas. You’re different from the rest.”
“I only drew more, that’s all.”
Bethan smiled a little. She picked her jacket up and left.
Looking at her leaving, Bonnie furrowed her brows. “
Where are you going?”
“To see an old friend.”
Then, Bethan took a deep breath and walked away.
Bonnie looked at Bethan leaving until she vanished within her sight, only then did Bonnie let out a sigh of relief.
She returned to her computer and secretly opened the tracking software. There was a red dot moving on the map.
Bonnie squinted her eyes and smiled. Since Bethan was someone special who has relationships with Brettley too. She would be able to find out about Cynthal from her sooner or later!
The black Maserati stopped at a mental asylum in the west of the city.
Bethan opened the car door and saw a huge sign that wrote, (Mental Asylum].
“I never expected that you would really lock her up here.”
Brettley was the cruelest person she has ever met.
Back then, he could even set up an accident to kill her just to please Cynthal.
At that moment, afraid that Cynthal would drag him down, he locked her up in a mental asylum.
Who would not be afraid of such ruthlessness?
“I’m only finding a place to house her for the moment.”
After all, Cynthal has almost gotten Nellie killed quite a few times.
This was no small matter.
He had to find a suitable place to lock her up and wait for Bethan Peterson to come back to deal with it herself, naturally, he had to find a secluded and safe place.
Bethan could not help but sneer at his words. “How affectionate of you. Even if she has tried to kill your daughter multiple times, you’re still looking out for her.”
Brettley looked at Bethan flatly. “You don’t have to put it so bluntly. She is still Bethan Peterson’s sister.”
Bethan laughed.
Sister.
Who has ever seen a sister who is pregnant with her own sister’s husband’s child and still has her brother
-in-law kill his wife?
Who has ever seen a sister, on several occasions, deliberately attempted to kill her own sister’s daughter?
Sometimes, she even wondered whether Cynthal was her father and mother’s daughter.
They grew up together and received the same education, why was Cynthal so different from her?
“Please follow me.”
The mental asylum has received Brettley’s money, they placed Cynthal under strict it – hour care.
Seeing them arrive, the staff passionately welcomed them in.
“Ms. Peterson is inside.”
The staff led Brettley and Bethan to the room at the end of the corridor and said respectfully, “The room is soundproof. We’re afraid that she might attack, so we cuffed her up in chains. You can go in without any worries.”
“Thank you.”
Bethan thanked the staff, then she looked at Brettley. “I’ll head in alone. I hope that you won’t eavesdrop on our conversation, Mr. Morrison.”
