Brettley stood in his spot, looked at the woman’s despondent face, and a burst of fury surged in his chest.
A jewelry designer. Kidnapped their children. No wonder.
No wonder Bethan’s son Neil looked so much like him! No wonder Bethan was Nellie’s design teacher!
It turned out, she was the one who kidnapped Nellie and Neil all those years ago!
And, she even stayed by his side on the pretense that she was Bethan Peterson’s good friend!
Right when his anger was boiling within him with no apparent outlet, the door to the villa opened.
The person who entered was no one else but Bethan, the one whom he wanted to shred into pieces right now!
“I want to eat boiled fish for lunch.”
Neil walked ahead, saying as he entered the door.
Bethan sighed helplessly, “Your stomach doesn’t hurt anymore? You want to eat something spicy again?”
“It doesn’t, I haven’t eaten that in such a long time! “
The little guy walked into the living room and immediately saw Brettley’s furious eyes.
Instinctively, he frowned, his gaze growing cold. “
What’s wrong with Mr. Morrison?”
“Neil! “
Suddenly, a woman’s voice rang out.
The woman in the long, cotton dress rushed forward like a flying arrow and threw her arms around Neil’s small body. “I missed you so much! “
The little guy frowned in disgust. “Madam, who are you, let go of me! “
Brettley’s eyes turned cold. “How can you talk to your mother like that! “
His words made Neil and Bethan startle violently.
The little guy raised his head, an exasperated expression on his face. “Mr. Morrison, do you suffer from down syndrome? My mother is Bethan! “
“Your mother is Bethan Peterson, it’s her! “
Brettley pointed a long finger at the woman hugging Neil. “It’s not your fault that the two of you were kidnapped, but you can’t address the perpetrator as your mother, and fail to recognize your own mother! “
Neil frowned, but before he could speak, the woman hugging him finally let go.
She stood up, wiped at her tears, and looked at Bethan pitifully. “Ms. Bethan, can you return my children to me?”
Bethan finally saw the woman’s face. She stepped back instinctively. If she hadn’t accepted her current face a long time ago, she would think she was looking in the mirror. This woman… looked exactly like her from the past.
At this moment, Bethan felt like her brain was exploding.
This woman in front of her… who was she? “Bethan.”
The woman raised her head, looking at Bethan with a face full of tear stains, “I treated you like my best friend, I told you everything, I even asked you to help me take care of my two kids… And this is how you treat me? How could you… you kidnapped my two children! “
She glared at Bethan, a hint of hatred flashing through her eyes. “You made my life terrible! How do you know how I lived for the past few years! “
Then, the woman rushed forward and squeezed Bethan’s neck as if crazed. “What do you want me to do for you to be satisfied? I want to break your bones and skin your body, to make up for the pain of losing my children that you have cost me these past six years! “
Bethan was pushed backward, her entire body rammed into the door behind her with a loud ‘bang’.
The carved pattern on the steel door pressed into her back, hurting her.
The woman in front of Bethan was still squeezing her neck tightly. “I want you to die! “
Bethan was stuck in a daze for a second, then lowered her voice and asked, “Who are you?”
Why did she look exactly like her in the past, why did she say the children were hers?
“I am Bethan Peterson, the real Bethan Peterson! “
The woman’s gentle voice contained a thread of venomous contempt, “Don’t you dream of tricking Brettley, me, and the children! You evil woman! “
“Mommy! “
Neil remained dazed for a long while and finally recovered.
He rushed forward as if demented, pulling at the woman’s arms with all his strength, “Let go of my Mommy! Let go of her! “
“She’s not your Mommy, I am! “
The woman glared at Neil and continued squeezing Bethan’s neck viciously, not at all planning to let go.
Nellie, who was standing in the distance rushed over too.
The two little children pulled at the woman’s arms, one on each side, but no matter how hard they tried, they could not manage to pull her arms off of Bethan.
This woman…
Was so strong!
Neil frowned, raised his head, and glanced at Nellie. The little girl was looking at him too.
The siblings met each other’s eyes, then grabbed at the woman’s arms simultaneously and bit her harshly — —
“Ah —-!”
The woman’s howl of pain rang through the entire Blue Bay Villa!
Distracted by the pain, her hands that were squeezing around Bethan’s neck immediately loosened.
“Lulu! “
Brettley did not expect the two children would start biting her.
He frowned, rushed forward, and pulled the woman into his arms. “Are you okay?”
On the other side, Bethan slid down the door and fell powerlessly onto the floor.
Neil and Nellie crowded around her, one on each side. “It must hurt a lot, right?”
Brettley glanced at the two children, his brows furrowing together furiously.
On this side, the woman lay in his arms, her eyes bright with tears. “Brettley, I knew it… Even though she is a human trafficker, the children have been living with her for too long, they now see her as their biological mommy… They don’t like me…”
The sight of her crying made Brettley’s heart ache.
He frowned, comforting her with a gentle voice, “
Don’t worry. You will grow closer as you spend more time together. Our two children are kind and obedient, as long as we explain everything to them, they know how to distinguish right from wrong.”
The woman nodded, then lowered her head and sobbed.
Nobody noticed, but the moment she lowered her head, a self-satisfied gleam flashed through her eyes.
“Ms. Bethan.”
After settling ‘Bethan Peterson’ down, Brettley approached Bethan coldly, his gaze ice -cold, looking pompously at Bethan who was currently sitting on the floor. “Do you know the sentence for kidnapping?”
Bethan raised her head, a cold sneer raising the corners of her lips, “Kidnapping?”
“Didn’t you?”
He kneeled down, his eyes seemed to contain the harsh cold of the winter frost. “Neil and Nellie are my and Bethan Peterson’s children. Six years ago, when she wasn’t paying attention, you stole two of her children and raised them as your own. Isn’t this the truth?”
He lowered his eyes and glanced at the steel watch on his wrist. “The police will be here soon. Seeing as you never hurt Neil and Nellie, and even risked your life for Nellie, I will put in a few good words for you in court. But the punishment you deserve… you will have to suffer through every single one of them! “
The moment his words left his mouth, the wail of police sirens drifted in from outside.
Bethan laughed bitterly, “You trust that woman’s words so much?”
