You’re just a servant who deliberately cares for Nellie to please me. Who do you think you are?
“I ‘m very grateful for your actions today, but this doesn’t mean that you can comment about the matters between me and my ex-wife. In this world, no one can talk to me like this except for Nellie’s biological mother!
“ The man’s grip on her neck tightened, and Bethan’s face turned purple from the lack of oxygen.
A moment later, when she was about to faint, the man released his hand.
“Remember yourself!
“ ”Ahem, ahem.”
Finally breathing fresh air, Bethan collapsed on the ground weakly as she clutched her neck and coughed.
“Oh, what’s the matter?”
Cynthal’s lazy voice sounded in the corridor. Bethan raised her head subconsciously. In front of her, Cynthal wore a red dress as her dainty feet stepped on seven -centimeter-high heels. She looked down at her on the ground proudly.
“Sure enough, beautiful women are rotten inside. You deliberately planned the scene today, acting as the saviour. You want Brettley to be grateful to you. Your plan was good, but I saw through you!”
“Cynthal, what are you talking about?”
asked Brettley coldly, brows furrowed tight. The air in the corridor suddenly became cold.
“I said that she, this maid, planned the whole
incident so that you and Nellie would be grateful to her,
“ Cynthal sneered at Bethan and then hooked her arm around Brettley’s.
“I can understand her: she’s just trying to use her position to gain some benefits for herself, but she’s too daring.
“If something truly happened to Nellie today…”
Cynthal pretended to be sad and placed a palm over her heart.
“The accident today really scared me to death!
“
“Bu11sh*t! ”
Bethan gritted her teeth, stood up
angrily, supported herself on the wall, and stared at Cynthal ferociously. It was obvious that Cynthal planned everything. She had yet to hold her accountable, and that woman tried to push all the blame onto her?
“It’s true! ”
Seeing that no one believed her, Cynthal took out a document and explained,
“After the accident today, I felt like she was related to it somehow, so I went to retrieve the call records and internet records from Blue Bay Villa from last night to this morning.”
She opened the file and pointed out one of the numbers as she talked,
“Look, this number contacted Bethan last night. And when something happened to Nellie today, this signal appeared in the main control room of the Ferris wheel!
“ Brettley frowned and took the file. Indeed, as Cynthal said, that number contacted Bethan yesterday, and it appeared in the main control room when the accident happened. He raised his eyes and looked at Bethan sharply.
“How do you explain this?”
Bethan’s hands balled into fists at her side, and her nails dug deeply into her palms.
The number they mentioned belonged to Neil. Last night, Neil called her and told her not to let Nellie go to the amusement park. This morning, because he was worried about them, Neil rushed to the amusement park and ran to the main control room when they had an accident… She could not say any of that, however. The woman’s hand clenched and loosened, loosened and clenched. Extreme hatred and anger swept over her. She gritted her teeth, but she could not refute Cynthal’s accusations!
“You have nothing to say, right? ”
Cynthal sneered and flipped a page of the document.
“I also investigated the records of Bethan’s Internet access last night. Look—she spent a long time last night searching for various accidents that may occur in an amusement park.”
Bethan gritted her teeth. She searched those to protect Nellie, but she had no way of refuting her accusations!
“Brettley.”
Cynthal sighed sadly.
“I knew this woman had bad intentions a long time ago, but because Nellie liked her, I didn’t watch out for her. I didn’t expect…
“It’s all my fault. If I saw through her kind facade earlier, maybe Nellie wouldn’t have to suffer like this… It’s all my fault…”
“Bethan.”
Brettley threw the file directly on Bethan. ”
How do you explain all this?”
The heavy documents hit her thin body. Bethan stretched out her hand and grasped the wall behind her tightly. All this information that Cynthal found was real. Her whole body trembled, and she had the urge to rush over to Cynthal, grind her bones to dust, and spread them in the wind. She must suppress her anger… She must calm down! Getting infuriated and arguing with her would only make Brettley feel that she was angry because her evil plan had been exposed.
Bethan had to; she had to calm down!
Bethan took a deep breath and looked up at Brettley, her voice trembling slightly,
“If I said I searched for the dangers that could appear in the amusement park yesterday in fear something might happen to Nellie, would you believe me?”
Cynthal sneered,
“But what about that number?”
Bethan gritted his teeth and resisted the gushing hatred and anger.
“That number…belonged to a friend of mine. He knew I was going to the amusement park, so he could take care of me in case something happened.”
She looked at Brettley and tried to make herself sound as sincere as possible.
Brettley frowned slightly.
“Call your friend, and I ‘ll ask him personally.”
“He won’t come.”
Bethan’s lips trembled.
“I won’t admit to such accusations, and my friends don’t need to explain themselves on my behalf.”
She closed her eyes and said in a cold voice, ”
Everything I did today, whether it was premeditated, or was it just to please Mr. Morrison? I think Mr. Morrison would know better than me.
“In my eyes, Nellie is more important than Mr. Morrison.”
Her words made Brettley frown, but the scene of her on the Ferris wheel when she angrily tried to push him out flashed before his eyes. Back then, she mistakenly thought that Nellie was dead. He still shivered when he remembered the anger and hatred in her eyes.
“Who’d believe you?”
Seeing Brettley hesitate, Cynthal rushed up quickly and stood in front of the two, blocking their gazes from meeting.
“You and Nellie aren’t related. Why are you so nice to her? Isn’t it because you fell in love with Brettley and his wealth? I’ve seen a lot of lowly women like you, wanting to fly to the top of the social hierarchy
with marriage…”
Cynthal kept inciting Brettley, eager to convict Bethan. She knew that Brettley was very much capable of investigating the matter and finding out it was her if she did not push the blame onto Bethan! Unexpectedly, Bethan suddenly calmed down. She raised her head, her eyes cold as her voice as she retorted,
“You want to convict me with just a phone number and my web browser history? Since Ms. Peterson can slander me with my call and chat records, then I want to see her call log and website browsing records over the past two days. I believe that’s reasonable, don’t you think so?”
She did not believe Cynthal would not have any slip-ups! Bethan was determined. If she fell, she would drag Cynthal with her! Taking a deep breath, she raised her eyes to look at Brettley.
“Can Mr. Morrison help me? Maybe Ms. Peterson’s calllog and browsing records are more exciting than mine.”
Cynthal’s face suddenly turned pale. She glared at Bethan.
“Want to drag me down with you? Dream on! Who’d want to hurt Nellie? Well, I won’t!
