“What brat?”
Lucas quickly told Brettley what he had seen in the control room.
“The little boy looks to be about the same age as Ms. Nellie. I thought he was stirring up trouble, but he saved you!”
The tall man frowned slightly.
“Where is he?”
“I lost him, so I came to find you, but…“Lucas glanced at the two security guards who had been subdued by the bodyguards in the distance.
“These two people and the little boy are working together. I managed to detain them!
“ Brettley glanced at the two security guards calmly, then lifted his legs and walked over.
As both men watched Brettley approaching them, the two security guards quickly began to shout. ”
Sir, we obviously did a good deed. It’s fine if you don’t want to thank us, but why are you detaining us here?”
“Yes, we’re security guards working at this amusement park. We’ll be fired for negligence. We need to get back to our jobs!”
Brettley motioned to the bodyguards to let them go. ”
What’s your
relationship with the kid?“ The two security guards glanced at each other.
“No… nothing. He gave us two hundred dollars and asked us to help break the door of the main control room open.“
“Back then, it was chaotic outside, but the people in the main control room were listening to their music like everything was fine, so we slammed the door open while the little guy went to operate the machine!
“
“Unexpectedly, he could operate such a complicated machine so well at a young age!”
“Mr. Morrison.”
At that moment, a medical staff called him to board the ambulance.
“Your wound will need to be treated in the hospital.”
Brettley’s palm that had just been cut by the iron sheet still bled… He frowned and said,
“Get me the CCTV recording; I want to know who this kid is. Also, detain the staff in charge of managing the amusement park and investigate the cause of the accident!
“ With that, he turned and walked in the direction of the ambulance. The two security guards glanced at each other. ”
Sir, we…”
”
Report to the Morrison Group tomorrow. With your qualifications, you don’t meet the minimum requirements for working in the Morrison Group.”
Brettley turned his back to them, his voice indifferent,
“If I were you, I’d treat that little boy to dinner tonight. After all, he changed your destiny.”
He then walked into the ambulance. The two security guards glanced at each other and quickly rushed to the corner and called Neil excitedly,
“Boy, you were right. We got promoted and made a fortune!
“ Morrison Group! Being able to work as a security guard in the Morrison Group was equivalent to being promoted and making a fortune!
On the other end of the phone, Neil sat on a bench by the roadside as his gaze was fixed on the leaving ambulance.
“Congratulations,”
came his dull response.
Although Mommy and Nellie were saved in the end, he still felt guilty. He did not expect that Cynthal would be so cruel to Nellie. If it was not for him, if he had not asked Nellie to reunite with that trash of a Brettley, this might not have happened. Thinking about this, Neil’s mood soured.
Not noticing his glum expression, the two security guards still excitedly announced the good news, ”
Thanks to you, we can report for work at the Morrison Group tomorrow!
“
“If you need help in the future, just tell us!”
Work at the Morrison Group? Neil’s eyes lit up at that. He needed an inside man in the Morrison Group, after all! The hospital.
Brettley gently pushed open the door of the ward, and Bethan turned her head when she heard the door opening. She subconsciously frowned at the sight of him. Eyeing the sleeping Nellie on the bed, she turned her head and raised a finger to her lips before she got up and walked out of the ward.
“How is she?”
asked Brettley in a hushed voice as he stood in the corridor.
“The doctor said it’s an extreme response to fear. She took her medicine and fell asleep.”
Bethan scrunched her eyebrows slightly and glanced at his tightly bandaged palm.
“How’s your wound?”
“It’s fine.”
The man looked at her.
“Thank you.”
Regardless of her purpose, she did use her life to protect Nellie, and he saw it with his own two eyes. She deserved his gratitude.
“There is no need to thank me.”
Bethan looked at him with cold eyes.
“I am a servant in charge of caring for Nellie. These are just
things I should do. As Nellie’s father, what you should do now isn’t to come here and thank me, but to investigate the person behind the accident.”
Her eyes were cold. Brettley interrupted her faintly,
“The accident is still under investigation. We can’t conclude it was intentional. Maybe it was an accident.”
Subconsciously, he did not want to believe that this incident was premeditated.
“Accident?”
Bethan sneered,
“Do you believe it was an accident? What a coincidence. There are so many people in the amusement park. It broke down right when Nellie and I reached the top, and it just so happened that the door of the car we were in broke off!
“Also, the professional rescue team in the amusement park just happened to be on vacation today. To top that off, the rest of the staff weren’t trained to maintain and fix the Ferris wheel. So many coincidences! Do you truly think it was an accident?”
“Or…“ She looked at him, her eyes colder than winter.
“Do you want to protect the person who wanted your daughter to fall from a height of nearly a hundred meters, to her death?
“If I didn’t accompany Nellie on the ride today, do you know what would’ve happened? She’s only six years old, and yet she’s put through so much like this!
“ Her every word pierced through his heart like a dozen needles and sharp swords. He stared at her coldly, silently. His expressionless face was the last straw. Her emotions pent-up the entire day overflowed as she collapsed in a scream,
“If you only want to protect that person, only care about her, why bother reuniting with your daughter?!
“Since you can’t take good care of your daughter, I advise you to return your daughter to her biological mother as soon as possible!
“ Her words made Brettley’s eyes widen in rage. In the next second, she was flung against the wall with his hand on her neck.
Bethan’s back hit the cold hard wall, and she grimaced at the impact.
Brettley squeezed her neck as his eyes flashed coldly. ”
