Brettley swept her a cold glance. “I won’t do such things.”
Then, Brettley turned and walked over to the bench in the distance and sat down. He gracefully leaned back and started working.
Once she made sure that he would not eavesdrop on her, Bethan took a deep breath, opened the door, and entered.
The decor in the room was simple. There was a bed, a table, and two chairs.
Cynthal’s limbs were cuffed in chains. She was wearing a hospital gown.
At that moment, she was sitting on the bed with messy hair.
Bethan stood by the door and gauged. Once she made sure that Cynthal would not be able to reach the chair she was at, she entered with confidence.
Upon hearing footsteps, Cynthal furrowed her brows. She subconsciously lifted her head.
The moment Cynthal saw Bethan, her eyes were instantly filled with hatred.
She gritted her teeth and glared at Bethan. “It’s you? “
“It’s me.”
Bethan reached into her pockets and turned on her recording device.
She sat down calmly. “Surprise to see me?”
“Surprised indeed. “
Cynthal sneered. She walked over and sat opposite Bethan.
Her eyes were filled with hatred, glaring at Bethan. “
Why are you here? Are you here to show off that you’ve succeeded?”
“Something like that.”
Bethan chuckled lightly, “Have you seen the news today? If you have not, let me recap for you once more. Brettley and I are together.”
Cynthal bit her lips hard.
After a while, she forced a few condescending words from the mouth. “I long knew that you were an ambitious woman. You got yourself to Blue Bay Villa not because you want to be a maid. You kept protecting that little b*tch so you could win over Brettley’s trust and be together with him, right?”
“Yes.”
Bethan chuckled lightly. She looked at Cynthal domineeringly and condescendingly. “Too bad, after all your schemes, you still lost. Do you know where you lost? If you were like me and loved Nellie like your own daughter, perhaps you would still be with Brettley.”
Cynthal sneered in a suppressed tone.
“You want me to treat that little b*tch as my own daughter? Just kill me already! “
“Why?”
Bethan rested her face on her hand. She smiled faintly and asked, “Isn’t Nellie your sister’s daughter? Why did you deliberately try to get her killed in the ferris wheel? You didn’t have to get someone to set our house on fire too.”
Cynthal looked at the door shut.
She smiled.
“The soundproof is great here. I know. Let me tell you honestly. I can treat any woman’s child as my own. I could also like any woman’s child, except for Bethan’s. I can’t do it!”
Seeing how Cynthal finally showed her true colors, Bethan’s heart constricted a little.
She sneered, “Why? Has Bethan Peterson ever treated you badly?”
“She has not, but what she did wrong was being too great.”
Cynthal glared at Bethan. Her gaze seemed to pierce through Bethan, looking further into the distance.
Cynthal’s eyes were filled with shades of manic. “From young, I have been living under Bethan’s shadows.
Everyone keeps telling how great of a sister I have and how I had to be like her. If I make a mistake, they would say that I was not as great as her. I was not good enough to be her sister…”
Cynthal sneered, “I had long had enough of a sister like that! So, not only did I have to take away her man, but I had to kill her also! If she wasn’t so lucky, she would have died six years ago!
“Now, not only is she still alive, she even sent that little b*tch back to Brettley! All she is trying to do is t o provoke and challenge me! Therefore, no matter what, I have to kill that little b*tch! I have to kill her! “
Perhaps Cynthal has been in the mental asylum for too long, when Cynthal said those words, her eyes were filled with manic and hostility.
Seeing her manic look, Bethan smiled bitterly. “So, because of your own jealousy, you want to hurt Bethan and Nellie and ruin their lives?”
Cynthal looked at her saying nothing.
“I have nothing to say.”
Bethan sneered and turned off the recording device in her pocket.
She stood up gracefully and looked at Cynthal domineeringly, who had messy hair and a haggard look, “So, all this is karma. You made Bethan Peterson suffer so much, you even tried to kill her child, so you were fated to abort the child you had.”
Then, Bethan turned and left the room.
Cynthal remained on the spot in a daze. Bethan mentioned a child? Her child? She has never gotten pregnant with a child.
Unless…
Cynthal widened her eyes.
Bethan Peterson!
Back then, when Bethan Peterson married Brettley, under the pressure of the Morrison family, she started searching for alternative ways to cure her sickness, so she could bear Brettley a child.
Therefore, when she tricked Bethan, she deliberately added how she was pregnant in her conversation with Brettley.
Back then, she did not know that Bethan was pregnant. She only thought that words like these would aggravate her, so…
Other than that, she has never told anyone about her being pregnant!
Cynthal looked at Bethan leaving. It felt like a huge hammer crushing her. She could not move.
No wonder Bethan protected Nellie so much. No wonder Bethan was so cautious of her. No wonder Bethan felt that she and Brettley were in love.
How has she never thought of this possibility, that Bethan might very likely be Bethan Peterson!
When Bethan came out of the room, Brettley was still leaning on the chair looking at the documents on his phone.
Seeing her exiting, Brettley calmly kept his phone. He stood up elegantly. “Finished?”
“Hmm, “
Bethan chuckled a little, “Mr. Morrison, do you want to have a chat with your ex-fiancée too?”
Brettley furrowed his brows at the words ex-fiancée. After a while, he smiled. “Of course.”
He lifted his gaze and looked at the sunlight outside o f the window. “Wait for me in the car, I won’t take long.”
Bethan shrugged, turned, and left.
She did not care what Brettley was going to talk to Cynthal about, neither did she care if they talked for long or not.
She reached into her pocket and gently gripped on the new recording device. She has gotten what she needed from Cynthal.
Before coming here, she wanted to get Cynthal to talk more, then take the next few days to gather evidence together with Neil, and hand them over to the police.
Cynthal definitely would not be able to escape the crime of conspiracy to murder.
However, at that moment, seeing how Cynthal was being cuffed in chains, barely looking human, Bethan felt that there was no need to do it anymore.
Previously, she had always thought that Brettley would not treat Cynthal so ruthlessly, after all, Cynthal was once the woman that Brettley loved.
From the looks of it at that moment, Brettley was much crueler than she thought.
Since Cynthal was already locked up like she was in a prison, there was no need for Bethan to go through the hassle and send Cynthal into prison.
At that thought, Bethan exhaled a long breath. She came out from the mental asylum, pulled the car door open, and got in the car.
