“She’s my wife.”
Brettley replied coldly. Bethan found his words funny.
When did he care about her so much?
Previously, no matter what she said or what she did, they were nothing but meaningless white noise.
But now, he loyally obeyed every single word that this imposter said.
Sucking in a deep breath, she chuckled, “Are you sure she’s your wife?”
“Of course I am.”
The woman sitting on the sofa wiped at her tears, lifted her face that was the spitting image of Bethan Peterson’s, and said, “If I’m not his wife, then are you his wife? Bethan, I knew it! You want to disguise yourself as me! Six years ago, you stole my children, and now six years later, you want to steal my husband! “
Bethan frowned, she wanted to say something, but right at this moment, the butler led the policemen into the house.
“Which one of you is Ms. Bethan?”
Bethan sighed softly, and laboriously stood up from her spot on the floor. “I am.”
She just returned from the police station and now, not long later, she had to go back there again.
But this time, she was returning as a suspect. “Don’t arrest my Mommy! “
Nellie bit her lip, the words finally bursting out of her mouth.
She reached out her arms, standing in front of her mother like a protective little eagle. “She’s my Mommy, she’s not a human trafficker! I want to protect my Mommy! “
The little girl’s actions made Brettley, who was watching on the side, frown furiously.
As he expected…
No wonder Nellie always avoided mentioning Bethan Peterson and was very close to Bethan.
As it turned out she too, like Neil, took Bethan to be her mother…
He sighed, walked forward, and heaved Nellie up into his arms. “You’re still young, you don’t understand adult matters.”
“Why wou1dn’t I understand?! “
Nellie struggled against his hold with all her might. “
I want to protect Mommy, I want to protect my Mommy! “
The more she struggled, the tighter Brettley’s brows knitted together.
“Sir, policeman! “
Compared to Nellie’s impulsiveness, Neil remained calm and collected.
He looked at the two policemen in front of him solemnly, a cold and haughty vibe emitting off of him. “I’m Mr. Brettley Morrison’s son, you know the consequences of angering me and my sister.”
Facing the little guy’s domineering attitude, the policemen laughed, “Don’t worry, kid, we’re just taking her over to the station to try and understand more about the issue. There’s no need to be so nervous.”
Watching as the ice-cold handcuffs cuffed her wrists together, Bethan sucked in a deep breath. “Neil, take good care of your sister.”
Bethan was taken away by the police.
Nellie struggled furiously in Brettley’s arms. “Let go o f me, I want Mommy! “
“Nellie, your Mommy is right here.”
The woman who had been sitting on the sofa throughout the incident smiled and walked over, gently catching Nellie’s waving arms. “She’s a fake, I’m your real Mommy.”
“Nonsense! “
Nellie flung her hand away, glared at her in anger. “
You’re not my Mommy! My Mommy doesn’t look like this! “
“Nellie, this is what your Mommy looks like.”
The little girl’s consistent struggles made Brettley slightly displeased.
He set her down, turned, and looked at Lily who was standing in the distance. “Nellie is emotionally unstable now, bring her upstairs.”
Then, he turned and looked at Neil who remained standing. “You should go too. I have something to say to your Mommy.”
Neil glanced at Brettley coldly, then turned his gaze to the woman claiming to be their mother.
“Bah! “
He spit at her harshly, then held Nellie’s hand. “Let’s go! “
“They still don’t want to acknowledge me…”
The woman started crying again.
“Don’t worry, it’ll take some time.”
Brettley held her hands gently and led her to sit on the sofa.
“Lulu, tell me everything you’ve gone through all these years, okay?”
His big hands were warm and comforting, his gaze deep and profound.
The woman pursed his lips. “Maybe it’s better if you don’t call me Lulu anymore, I haven’t used the name Bethan Peterson in a long time. I go by the name of Alice Peterson now, from now on, just call me Alice.”
Brettley frowned and said nothing.
“I know it might be difficult for you to change at a moment’s notice.”
Alice sniffed, “But Brettley, you saw that Bethan just now. Previously, she wasn’t known as Bethan, but after she kidnapped my children, she started calling herself Bethan. She’s an evil and vicious woman, she used my first name as her own to confuse everyone, to make everyone believe she is the real Bethan Peterson! Since she already used this name, I don’t want it anymore, from now on I’ll be known as Alice Peterson.”
Looking at her bloodshot eyes and the tear stains on her cheeks, Brettley’s heart ached deeply.
He held her hand. “Alright, from now on, you’re Alice.”
A name was just an identification method anyway. If Bethan was really someone like that…
He supported Bethan Peterson’s decision in changing her name.
“Thank you for understanding…”
Alice wiped at her tears and lay in Brettley’s arms pitifully. “Brettley, I missed you so much.”
Hearing her words, Brettley’s chest felt as if it had been shot by a gun.
He held her tightly. “Don’t worry, I won’t let you leave me ever again.”
Bethan was brought to the police station, and after a series of questioning, was locked up in jail.
Coincidentally, she was assigned to the same prison cell as Cynthal.
“Tsk tsk, Ms. Bethan, why are you locked up in here? “
Dressed in a prisoner’s jumpsuit, Cynthal sat on the bed, a wide smile blossoming on her face. “This morning you were just showing off to me, and now you’re in here yourself?”
Bethan frowned, carried her bed covers to her own bed, and ignored her.
Cynthal’s laugh turned even more arrogant.
“It feels bad to be accused of kidnapping, right?”
Bethan furrowed her brows, and turned around coldly.
“You know what happened?” “Of course I do.”
Cynthal yawned. “After all, the current Alice Peterson was my sister Bethan Peterson.”
Bethan paused.
