Chapter 37 – Divorced! Now What to Do?

“ Brettley is here! Cynthal panicked. She looked at the computer screen in front of her. It was all the evidence of her setting Bethan up! It was too late to delete them at that moment! The sounds of footsteps were getting closer. Under panic, Cynthal forcefully shut the computer down.

The computer barely just shut down when Brettley appeared by the door.

“Brettley.“ Cynthal awkwardly stood up and smiled unnaturally. She subconsciously placed herself in front of the computer, blocking them from Brettley.

“Why would you come here suddenly?“ Brettley furrowed his brows lightly. He looked at Lucas.

“Turn on the computer.“ Cynthal tried to stop Lucas. She smiled at Brettley.

“Why are you trying to look into my computer?“

Then, she pretended to calmly instruct her manager,

“Why don’t you bring the guest downstairs and make some tea?

“ When she said that, her tone was trembling a little already. Brettley, who was standing by the door, was indifferent.

“There is no need for tea. If you don’t want Lucas to turn on your computer, you’ll do it yourself.“ Cynthal clenched her fists tightly. He came too suddenly. She did not have time to prepare at all! Her computer was not only filled with her conversation with the spammers but also the photographs that were taken of Brettley and Bethan shopping! If Brettley saw all these, the consequences would be bad!

“Could Ms. Peterson be hiding something in her computer?“

At that moment, an aloof woman’s voice rang through. Cynthal was stunned. She looked up and saw Bethan standing next to Brettley. Bethan the maid who was insulted and bullied online at her instructions!

Why was she here? Although Cynthal created the rumor of Brettley and Bethan the maid being together, Cynthal knew better than anyone that Brettley had only Bethan Peterson in his heart! He would not care about Bethan the maid, so why did he bring her over? A bad feeling washed over Cynthal.

“Lucas,

“ Brettley instructed frigidly once more. Lucas went around Cynthal and turned on the computer.

“Sir, I have found something.“ Brettley swept a glance at Cynthal and walked over.

Just as he expected. The computer was filled with information and documents regarding the planning of the incident that morning.

“Heh.“ Brettley sneered. The hostility he released from his body was enough to freeze the entire air in the room. Cynthal’s face has lost all of its colors. Bethan, standing by the door, squinted her eyes. She was still taking care of Nellie at home when Lucas called her over, saying that Brettley wanted to bring her to Cynthal’s place.

When she came here, she still thought that the crazy man wanted her to apologize to Cynthal.

She did not expect that he would come to Cynthal’s house to expose her to her crimes. Bethan knew that Brettley would find out sooner or later about Cynthal’s schemes, but she never thought that he would find out about it so soon. It did not even take a day, Brettley has already deduced the entire incident.

He even appeared in Cynthal’s house out of the blue to gather evidence.

This man is much smarter than she gave him credit for. After looking at the documents, Brettley calmly turned around and sat on a chair. He crossed his legs gracefully. He looked at Cynthal coldly.

“Please explain.“ Explain… Cynthal bit her lips and suddenly thought of something. She stood by the door and called her manager in. Slap! Cynthal slapped her manager brutally. Her manager fell to the ground.

“What the hell are you doing?“ Cynthal glared at her manager angrily.

“I told you to work from home, yet you did all these things behind my back? When I saw the news today, I knew it was fake for sure. I told you to deal with it! Turns out you were the mastermind behind it ! How could you do this to me!

The manager was baffled by the slap.

She crouched on the floor and looked at Cynthal blankly.

“Cynthal, you were the one that told me to do it Why was it all her fault at that moment?

“Since when have I told you to do such things?“

Cynthal slapped her manager another time.

“I told you not to make a huge fuss of this. Don’t do meaningless things like this, yet you refuse to listen!

“ Then, Cynthal looked at Brettley with her eyes filled with tears.

“Brettley, Bethan, I’m sorry that I did not take care of my manager. You can hate me all you want. I will accept it.“ She wiped off her tears.

“Thank you. If you did not come in time, I wouldn’t have known that she was using my computer to do such things!

“ Bethan could not help but sneer at her exceptional acting skills. Brettley also slightly furrowed his brows.

“Didn’t you notice one bit that she was using your computer to do such things?“

“Of course,

“ Cynthal said looking aggrieved,

“You should know that I ‘m not tech savvy. The computer is just a device for me to receive mail. I don’t know how to do anything else with it.“

“Brettley, don’t worry.“ Cynthal took a deep breath and looked at Brettley sincerely,

“I will get the company to fire my manager.“ Upon hearing that Cynthal was firing her, the manager got up, pointed at Cynthal, and rebuked,

“You unappreciative b*tch! I was the one that made you who you are today! You’re firing me because of this? Since when was it never your idea? Every single headline was your idea! Now you’re blaming it all on me?“

Then, she turned to look at Brettley.

“Mr. Morrison. I really did not do it!“

“If it was not you, who was it then? Me?“ Cynthal kicked the manager and she fell down to the ground once more. Then, Cynthal reached out to tug on Brettley’s sleeve.

“ Brettley, we have been together for so many years. You should know how I am. I have never wanted to put you under the spotlight due to my work, I don’t need this to make news…“

She thought that her lies were perfect, but in Bethan’s eyes, it was filled with flaws. For example, Bethan has the transaction records Neil sent to her. The transaction records clearly stated that the money came from Cynthal’s personal bank account. At that thought, Bethan smiled and walked over. She helped the manager up.

“I have a question.“ The manager looked at her.

“Do you know Ms. Peterson’s bank account passcode?“ The manager was stunned. She thought that Bethan was about to blame her for embezzling Cynthal’s money. She shook her head furiously.

“Then, that’s good.“ Bethan turned to look at Brettley.

“Mr. Morrison, you could go and check the transaction records. See who was the one that transferred the money to the spammers ‘ syndicate. If it was the management company or the manager’s account, it must be done by the manager, but if it was from Ms. Peterson’s personal account…“ She smiled faintly,

“Then, even if Ms. Peterson is not the main culprit, she at least knew about it.“ Brettley shrugged off Cynthal’s hand. He said with an icy expression.

“Lucas.“

“On it!“ Lucas immediately pushed the door open and left. While Brettley was not looking, Cynthal glared fiercely at Bethan. This woman was clearly trying to cause trouble! She had to destroy her sooner or later! However, at that moment, the most important thing was to deal with the bank account matter.

At that thought, Cynthal aggrievedly wiped her tears.
