“Alice and I were once a loving couple.”
The appearance of Brettley not only shocked the reporters but also Bethan and Theo on stage.
The two of them looked at each other. Bethan said with a suppressed tone, “Did you get him to come?”
Theo innocently raised both his heads. “I swear to God that it was not me.”
While the two were conversing, Brettley had already walked to Bethan’s side.
He picked up the microphone in front of Bethan and said in a cold and low voice, “If everybody wants to accuse Bethan and I of having an affair, how could I be absent?”
Brettley calmly took a seat next to Bethan. He looked down at the reporters below stage like an emperor looking at his subjects. “If any of you have any questions, you can ask me. Don’t make things difficult for Bethan.”
His aura was so cold that everyone there could not help but take a gasp.
Those reporters that were attacking Bethan previously shut their mouths.
A few wanted to sneak away too, but they were stopped by Lucas, Zach, and Yuri by the entrance.
The venue was silent for a long time.
Seeing nobody saying anything, Brettley smiled a little. “Then, let me give a simple explanation to everyone.
“Bethan is an exceptional jewelry designer. She is close to both of my kids too. We are employers and staff, as well as friends. Perhaps, if I were to get a divorce in the future, we might become the relationship that you imagine us to be, who’s to say?”
Then, Brettley’s gaze turned cold. “But, Bethan is not my mistress.”
The venue was in silence.
After a long time, Yvonne could finally no longer take it. She stood up angrily.
“Brettley Morrison, do you have any regard for Alice for saying such things? She has liked you for so many years and made so many changes for you! She has suffered so much for you! Now you’re defending your mistress?”
Brettley swept Yvonne a cold glance. “I have already said that Bethan is not my mistress! “
His tone was as cold as his glares.
Yvonne furrowed her brows. She pursed her lips angrily. “You came to prove that Bethan is not your mistress, that means you’re saying that the recording just now was real. It was Alice who was trying to harm Bethan. Making things difficult for your wife in public, I wonder what sort of husband you are.”
Upon mentioning the recording, Brettley frowned hard.
He heard it clearly. The last words Alice said were, “
Only when I get rid of her can I have the time and energy to deal with those two brats.”
He never knew that jealousy would push a person to become so crazy.
Neil and Nellie were her own children!
Just because Bethan had been taking care of them since young and they were closer to Bethan, so she has to get rid of her kids too?
At that thought, Brettley’s heart turned colder.
He lifted his gaze and said in a cold tone, “Since everyone is so concerned about my family affairs, let me announce one more thing.”
He took a deep breath and stood up. “I used to say that I hope my wife comes back to me and I would do anything for her to be back.
“Now that she’s back, I realized that time could completely change a person to become someone you could no longer recognize.
“Her face, voice, and habits were hers, but it was completely different already.”
He looked at the reporters, but his gaze seemed to pierce through them into the distance. “The Bethan Peterson back then would trust me. She would believe that whether I have a meal or a meeting with another woman, that it is just me working. However, now, she has completely changed. Thus, I have decided to get a divorce.”
Brettley’s words were like a bomb detonating at the venue!
Because Mrs. Morrison was so jealous of Bethan and tried to hurt her, that was why Brettley decided to get a divorce!
This news came too suddenly.
Not only could the reporters not react in time, but Bethan too.
The first to react was Natasha, who had been sitting by the corner.
She rushed over manically and grabbed Brettley’s collar. “How dare you divorce my daughter! How many things has she done for you back then! How dare you abandon her now! “
Brettley pried Natasha’s hand off him, finger by finger. “You also said that it was back then.
Furthermore, the person who is most unqualified to stand up for Bethan is you.”
His voice was cold. “Don’t you think I don’t know how unfairly you treated Bethan back then?”
Natasha was stunned. She looked at Brettley in a daze. “What are you talking about…”
Brettley ignored her. He only calmly gave Lucas a look. Lucas immediately got people to send Natasha away.
The discussions in the venue got more and more heated.
“Everyone.”
Theo furrowed his brows. He took over the microphone to control the crowd. “We have explained all we needed to explain today. We even announced a piece of huge news. The press conference today ends here.”
Upon his words, the live broadcast of the press conference was immediately cut off.
Sitting in the mall, Alice was staring at the black huge screen. She was clenching her fists tightly.
Brettley actually dared to announce a divorce.
He said he wanted a divorce with her at Bethan’s press conference.
She gritted her teeth. The grudge in her got deeper and more intense.
Why!
Since when she was young, why has Brettley not seen how much she sacrificed!
She should be the one that Brettley should marry!
Suddenly, her phone rang. Alice furrowed her brows and picked the call up.
“Ms. Alice, we checked. Someone hacked into the telecommunications company and retrieved our conversations. Not many people could do this.”
The middle-aged man on the phone call sounded exhausted. “We’re checking the list of world-famous hackers.”
Then, Mr. Walter sighed, “Master saw the press conference. He is flaring up at home. Do you want to find some time to come home?”
Alice was annoyed. “We’11 see about that. I’m in no mood to go home.”
Mr. Walter was silent for a while, then he spoke quietly, “I think you should come back. Now that Brettley has announced his divorce with you, even if you won’t sign it, he could be with Bethan openly. Now what you can do is to give Brettley pressure. Force him to reconcile with you and give up the idea of divorce. Although the Walters never always had an arranged marriage with the Morrison family, at least we’re family friends. Getting Adrian Morrison to help you apply some pressure would be a good thing too, what do you think?”
Alice furrowed her brows upon his words.
After a while, she rolled her eyes in annoyance. “I’ll find some time to go back.”
After hanging up the phone, Alice walked out of the mall irritatedly.
Once she exited a black Maserati stopped in front of her.
The car door opened and Lucas flashed a smile. “
Ma’am, Mr. Morrison got me to fetch you to the Civil Affairs Bureau.”
Alice furrowed her brows hard. She walked around the car.
Lucas smiled. He drove the car, following her. “
Ma’am, avoiding won’t solve the problem. Mr. Morrison said that I have to bring you to the Civil Affairs Bureau no matter what.”
Alice stopped in her tracks. She turned to look at Lucas coldly. “Tell Brettley that I won’t agree to the divorce. If there are any problems between us, we can talk it out, but I will never agree to divorce even if it is for the kids! “
Lucas was determined. He kept following her with his car. Alice rolled her eyes. While walking and her back facing Lucas, she took a pill out and popped it into her mouth.
10 minutes later.
