After a long time, the reporters finally finished taking their photos. They were about to leave.
“Everyone.”
At that moment, Gwen took a deep breath.
“Actually, I still have a request.”
Gwen bit her lips hard. “Has everyone already forgotten that I have not announced the person that threatened me to defame Bethan?”
The reporters that were about to leave stopped in their tracks.
Someone said, “We’ve already got the main story, who cares about who threatened you?”
This sentence was exceptionally insulting to Bethan.
She flung Alice’s hand away and turned to look at the reporters coldly. “So, your duties as reporters are only to look for gossip and take photos? Now that Ms. Gwen is on stage saying that she was being threatened and controlled to do things that she did not want to do, yet you guys remain indifferent to that?”
Upon Bethan’s words, the reporters looked at each other.
After a while, a reporter smiled and looked up at Gwen, who turned pale, on stage. “Tell us, Ms. Gwen, who was the one that threatened you and got you to defame Ms. Bethan? We could write it while writing the report on Mrs. Morrison.”
Gwen’s face finally lost all of its colors.
She forced herself to hold on and not pass out. “I was about to say.”
Gwen took a deep breath. “The person who threatened me with my father’s life and forced me to accuse Bethan…”
She glared at the camera below the stage. “The person is Hai…”
Bang!
Before Gwen could finish her sentence, someone kicked the door of the auditorium open.
A haggard-looking Andy immediately rushed in and went up the stage. He grabbed Gwen’s hand.
“My child, what nonsense are you talking about?”
Andy immediately smiled and looked at the crowd. “
No one threatened her. No one caused me any trouble either. This is a prank between Ms. Bethan and my child. Please don’t take it seriously! “
Then, Andy turned around and glared at Gwen fiercely. He pulled her down the stage and headed backstage.
Bethan furrowed her brows. She wanted to say something but she noticed the man by the entrance.
Brettley was standing there, tall and mighty.
He noticed that Bethan was looking at him. He flatly smiled and lowered his head, fiddling with his phone. At the same time, Bethan’s phone rang.
He sent her a message.
(The Walters transferred Andy this morning. While they were transferring him, Lucas and I had been following them. Andy is fine. I’ll handle the rest.
This thing ends here.]
Bethan looked at her phone and stared at the last sentence, (This thing ends here].
Gwen’s father was imprisoned and almost could not escape. Gwen almost killed her own father.
She herself also almost got destroyed.
All that was in exchange for Brettley’s casual message brushing it off, saying, (This all ends here].
Bethan remained in the same spot. She saw Alice running toward him and hugging his arm.
She felt as if someone was stabbing her heart. Over and over again.
He was always so indulgent and protective of Alice.
Who the hell was she? She was nothing. Not back then, not at that moment.
She did not dare think that if she returned back to him as Bethan Peterson, just like Alice, would he treat her well?
She guessed that it was unlikely.
He could like many women. He could even like the woman that used her name and her face, but he would never like her no matter who she changed into.
Bethan was overwhelmed with helplessness and disappointment.
Bethan stood there in the auditorium until all the reporters left. Even when everything was over, she still did not come to her senses.
In the end, she was chased out by the janitor.
“You’re still young. If there are problems, go and solve them. What use is crying! “
The janitor’s words made Bethan wipe her tears subconsciously.
She was indeed crying. There were also a lot of tears. Bethan laughed self-deprecatingly.
Six years ago after the accident, she swore that she would never cry for Brettley anymore.
However… she still could not help it.
“Bethan.”
Suddenly, a woman’s voice rang out.
Bethan subconsciously looked up. Gwen was standing in front of her.
“No one could contact you. Theo also said that he could not find you. I thought that you might be here. I was correct! “
She reached out and held Bethan’s cold hands. “Are you crying?”
Bethan wiped away her tears. She grabbed Gwen’s hand in return. “Is uncle fine?”
“He is alright.”
Gwen pursed her lips. “Thanks to Brettley. If it were not for him, I would not be able to see my father anymore. My father explained it all to me. He said that Brettley knew that Hailey was the main culprit behind this, the Walters and the Morrisons had a relationship going on. He had to save some face for Walters, that was why he did not let me reveal Hailey’s name.”
Then, she could not help but sigh emotionally, “
Although I don’t like Brettley, I have to admit that sometimes he has pretty high emotional intelligence. He would care about how others feel.”
Bethan closed her eyes and sneered, “Yes. He cares about how others feel, except me.”
Then, just when she was about to say something else, her phone rang.
It was a call from Lucas.
“Mr. Morrison told me to tell you that the Walters are having dinner to catch up tonight. You have to be there.”
Bethan sneered, “Hailey almost made me a mistress and I still have to socialize with her?”
Lucas, on the other end of the call, was silent for a while.
“Bethan, please don’t direct your emotions at Mr. Morrison. He took a group of people to rescue Andy Larson this morning. If it were not for him, the things your friend said during the press conference were more than enough for her to not see her father forever. Mr. Morrison had no choice either. After all, the Walters and Morrisons have a relationship. Some things can’t be done to the extreme.”
Then, Lucas sighed. “You have to come tonight, if not, you will regret it.”
Bethan furrowed her brows. She wanted to say something else but Lucas had already hung up.
“Are you going tonight?”
When she hung up, Gwen cautiously asked Bethan.
Bethan closed her eyes and let out a long sigh, “Yes.”
If she were to not go, how would she know how far Brettley could go?
Just because the Morrisons and Walters had a relationship, so Hailey could do all these to harm her and Brettley could just write it off casually?
In the evening.
