“She loves me! She loves me the most! ” “That was last time! “
Bethan looked at him. Her gaze darkened and got colder. “She did love you very much last time. She loved you so much so that she could go up against her parents. She loved you so much she was willing to give up everything! What did she get in return?
Brettley, what did you give her? You gave her endless misery and despair! She has long lost her love for you! She doesn’t love you anymore! “
Bethan’s tone was cold. Every single word was like a hammer, brutally crushing Brettley’s heart.
“Impossible, impossible! “
Brettley strangled Bethan. “You’re lying! “
He was extremely strong. He choked Bethan so hard her voice was distorted. “Brettley Morrison, you’re mad! “
“You’re the mad one! “
Brettley glared at her with reddened eyes. “If not, how could you say such things! “
Knock! Knock!
Just when Bethan was about to be choked to death by Brettley, someone knocked on the door behind her.
Bang!
The office door was slammed open.
Standing outside were Zach and Yuri. Behind them were Neil and Nellie.
Once the door was open, Bethan instantly broke free of Brettley. She slumped onto the ground, clutching her neck, and gasping for air.
Brettley, who was blinded by rage, started to come to his senses after this commotion.
He remained on the spot. He looked at Bethan, then looked at the two children outside. This was the first time he felt rather helpless. He did not know what he should do.
“Aunty! “
Seeing how bad Bethan looked, Nellie rushed over madly. She buried herself in Bethan’s arms. “Are you alright?”
“Daddy, have you gone crazy?” “He has indeed gone crazy.”
Neil furrowed his brows. He looked at Bethan, his heartbroken. Then, he slowly walked into the office with both hands behind his back. “He got angry after his lies were exposed. Mr. Morrison, how have I never realized that you are a person who would not dare to face reality?”
Brettley furrowed his brows. He looked at Neil calmly. He scoffed, “What do you children know about?”
“Of course, us children know things.”
Neil changed into a more comfortable position on the sofa. He crossed his two short stumpy legs. “
When I was overseas, I knew everything. Aunty Bethan Peterson has long disliked you. That is why she got my Mommy to come back to you. To take care of Nellie while observing to see whether you could take good care of Nellie.”
Then, Neil looked up with his huge, watery eyes. “
But it seems like, Mr. Morrison, you have a tendency to violence. You’re not suited to raise your daughter alone.”
Brettley squinted his eyes a little. “What else do you know?”
“I know a lot.”
Neil looked at Bethan, whose face was slowly regaining its colors. He was relieved. “I also knew that you broke Aunty Bethan’s heart previously. She truly liked you, but what she got in return was your indifference and betrayal.”
Brettley furrowed his brows hard. He sneered, “Since when have I betrayed her?”
Cold, heartless, and distant. All this he would admit to it.
After all, when he got together with Bethan Peterson, he stubbornly thought that he only married her because she was a good woman.
He thought that he would never like her at all.
However, when he finally lost her, he realized that the most important woman in his life had already appeared.
Only that, before he could realize and cherish her, she has already left.
“Never?”
Bethan sat on the floor. She glared at Brettley coldly while clutching her neck. “Then, tell me. What is your relationship with Cynthal?”
Cynthal?
Brettley furrowed his brows and sneered, “I ‘ve said it before. I only got Cynthal a proper status, so I could take care of her after Bethan Peterson left. She is Bethan’s closest sister. Should I not take care of her?”
Looking at Brettley trying to talk his way out pretentiously, Bethan chuckled.
“I’ll still say the same thing. There are many ways to take care of a person, why do you have to get engaged with her? Also…”
Bethan narrowed her eyes. “Cynthal’s child back then, was it not yours?”
“Cynthal’s child?”
Brettley furrowed his brows hard. “Since when does she have a child?”
“Brettley, what is the point of continuing the pretense at this stage?”
Bethan looked at that pretentious face. Her gaze got colder. “If it wasn’t because Cynthal got pregnant, Bethan would never have decided to leave.”
Looking at Bethan talking nonsense, Brettley found it ridiculous.
“You’re trying to say that not only Cynthal has been pregnant, but she also bore my child, is it? You’re also trying to say that because Cynthal has my child, that was why Bethan decided to leave me?”
“Isn’t it?”
Bethan saw the mockery in Brettley’s eyes. Her heart was in so much pain it was as if someone brutally stabbed her!
Why would this man still pretend to be innocent even at this stage?
Back then, she and Cynthal got pregnant at the same time. In order to please Cynthal, he came up with an accident to kill her.
They even came up with a fake will to defame her for having an affair after her death.
At that moment, she has already openly said that she Knew everything , yet Brettley was still feigning innocence!
Brettley was so angry he laughed at Bethan’s words. “Since Cynthal bore my child, where is the child now?”
His laughter due to anger was full of mockery in Bethan’s eyes!
She gritted her teeth hard.
Did he think that she could not produce any evidence?
Back then, two months after the accident, Cynthal had an operation at the obstetrics and gynecology department. Did he think that she did not know about it?
Brettley sneered and looked at her, “Are you trying to say that the child has been aborted?”
Bethan looked at him and said nothing.
“What a vivid imagination you have.”
Brettley lowered his gaze and looked at the time. His eyes dimmed. “It’s time for lunch. Let’s go.”
Bethan looked at him and said nothing.
“What a vivid imagination you have.”
Brettley lowered his gaze and looked at the time. His eyes dimmed. “It’s time for lunch. Let’s go.”
Neil, who was sitting on the sofa, furrowed his brows. His child-like voice was filled with displeasure. “We’re already at this stage, you still want to put on an act and take my Mommy to lunch?”
“The reporters are already there. What do you think?”
Brettley swept a gaze at Neil. Although it seemed like he was talking to Neil, it was more intended for Bethan.
“Since we’re already putting on an act, the show must go on.”
Then, he turned to look at Bethan. “Ms. Bethan, are you regretting the things you agreed to me this morning?”
