Chapter 38 – Divorced! Now What to Do?

“ Brettley. Actually, before you came I was arguing with my manager.“

“The reason we were arguing was that she secretly stole my bank account passcode and used my money.“

Then, Cynthal lowered her head. Her voice was filled with aggrievance.

“I did not want to tell you at first. This is too embarrassing. I was just afraid that she did not have enough money, so I gave her my passcode. I did not know that she would steal so much from me…“ After a while, Cynthal bit her lips.

“Yet Bethan wants to use this method to decide whether I knew about this or not, I feel wronged. I truly do not know anything! I was only being a kind person letting my manager use my money and my computer, yet I got dragged down as well.“

“Nonsense !“ Her manager bit her lips and retorted,

“ I do not know your passcode!

“ Cynthal mocked.

“You dare admit that you know about it? Using my money without asking is considered theft. You could go to court for this!

“

Her manager could not explain herself. Bethan pursed her lips.

“No matter what, Ms. Peterson, you are innocent, right? Actually, you don’t have to anxiously try to clear your name yet. Because from the way Mr. Morrison likes you, even if you were the one who did it, he won’t do anything to you.“

“I did not do it! I know nothing about this!

“ Cynthal gritted her teeth hard.

“This had nothing to do with me, why should I admit to it!“

The two of them were in a heated argument. Brettley rubbed the middle of his brows, sitting on the sofa by the side.

“Bethan.“ Brettley said coldly,

“Stop talking.“ At his words, Bethan, who was about to go all out, hesitated.

After a while, she smiled self-deprecatingly.

“Okay. I’ll stop.“ In the end, Cynthal was still the one he loved the most. No matter what she did, he could forgive her. Even if Cynthal got someone to secretly take photos of them shopping, or got someone to spread rumors about them causing her to be insulted by millions of people.

At that moment, she was only just arguing with Cynthal, but he asked her to shut up.

Although she was the one who got scolded, she was only a lowly maid with no reputation after all, while he was the President of the Morrison Group.

This incident caused him more harm compared to her, but he was not angry at all.

He even forbade her to fight with Cynthal.

If this was not true love, then what was? Back then, this was how she lost to Cynthal, was it not? The favored were always emboldened.

The atmosphere in the living room became quite suffocating. After a long while, the door to the apartment was open. Lucas entered with a folder. He looked at Brettley and hesitated. Cynthal, by the side, slapped her manager once more.

“ Are you happy now? Using my account to do bad things, I can never clear my name now!

“ Ignoring the women, Brettley furrowed his brows and took over the folder from Lucas.

“So?”

“I got the records.”

Lucas bit his lips and glanced at Brettley swiftly, then at Cynthal.

“The records showed that the account that transferred money to the spammers’ syndicate belongs to…the company of Ms. Peterson’s manager.”

Everyone was stunned at those words. Bethan furrowed her brows. She had a complicated look. This was not right. The records that Neil sent to her clearly stated that it was Cynthal’s personal bank account! How did it suddenly become the company’s account?

This did not only shock Bethan. Cynthal was stunned too.

What happened? She was the one that transferred the money to the spammers’ syndicate from her account. Why did it suddenly become the company’s account? However, that was not the time to think about it. Cynthal collected her emotions. She turned around and slapped the manager brutally once more.

“Thank goodness you still have a guilty conscience! Luckily you used the company’s account. If not, I would not be able to clear my name!

“ After going through all this, the manager finally understood Cynthal’s intention. She could only helplessly play along.

“How could I use your private account for such things…“

Cynthal smugly pursed her lips. She turned to look at Bethan.

“Can this proof my innocence now?“ Bethan furrowed her brows and looked at Cynthal. Where did it go wrong? Neil would never have given her false records. She slowly looked at Brettley by the side.

If it was not Neil, then it must be Brettley. He deliberately instructed Lucas to say that the transactions were made by the company. All this was just to clear Cynthal’s name!

“Since we have already cleared things up.“ Brettley looked at the manager coldly, with no emotions in his eyes.

“Get the spammers’ syndicate to stop what they are doing.“ The manager and Cynthal looked at each other. She slowly picked Cynthal’s spare phone from the table and dialed the spammers’ syndicate.

“Stop all the online activity.“

“Why?“ The spammers were unhappy.

“We have not met Ms. Peterson’s demands, right?“ Upon hearing them mentioning Ms. Peterson, the manager immediately covered the earpiece of the phone, afraid that the others would be able to hear.

“ Just do what I say! Stop asking so many questions!

“

Then, she immediately hung up. She placed the phone back.

“Mr. Morrison. Everything is done.“

“Hmm.“ Brettley calmly swept a glance at the phone on the table. Afraid that he would be suspicious, Cynthal immediately blocked the phone.

“Brettley, don’t worry. I will report this to the management. I will fire my irresponsible manager!

“

“She’s not irresponsible. She’s being way too responsible.“ Bethan understood the conversation between the both of them. She sneered in her heart. Her guess was correct. How could Brettley so kind- heartedly bring her along to expose Cynthal? He was just trying to clear Cynthal’s name. He deliberately brought her to Cynthal’s house, pretending to expose her, but in the end, his intention was just to show her how much he loved Cynthal. This was completely unnecessary. Even if Cynthal boldly admitted that this was her doing, Bethan was just a maid. She could not do anything, yet Brettley wanted to put on an act to disgust her. As expected. These two were still the same as six years before, arrogant, aloof, and a hypocrite. Bethan turned to look at the time.

“Mr. Morrison, Ms. Peterson. Nellie had her nap when I came here. It’s almost time for her to wake up. I won’t stay long. Please excuse me.”

Then, she did not bother to look at both of them and left immediately. Bethan left. Cynthal looked at her back with some smugness on her face.

Although she did not know why the records would show the company’s account instead of hers, no matter what, she has won!
