Then, he continued heading toward the exit.
Seeing him leaving, Luke took a deep puff of the cigarette. He turned to look at one of his men next to him. “He said just now that she is his employee, right?”
His men nodded. “Yes.” “He has a wife?”
“Yes, they have been married for many years.”
“Tsk.”
Luke exhaled a ring of smoke and smiled. “
Interesting.”
Brettley sent Bethan to the hospital.
“It’s nothing serious. She has just been force-fed alcohol, so she’s intoxicated. She caught a cold from being drenched by the alcohol. The cuts on her legs are quite inflamed due to the alcohol too.”
The doctor gave her a whole body check–up. “I’ll put her on some IV drips. She’ll be fine once she wakes up.
Then, the doctor looked at Brettley with rebuke. “
There is no harm in having fun, but don’t overdo it. I f anything were to happen to her, you would have to take care of her for the rest of your life! “
Brettley pursed his lips. He lowered his head and chuckled, “If anything were to happen to her…”
“Brettley, is Bethan alright?”
A woman’s voice interrupted their conversation. Brettley looked up.
Alice was standing in front of him in a red trench coat and long black boots. Her face was perfectly made up, even the curls of her lashes were flawlessly curled.
It was obvious that she deliberately put on make-up before coming over.
Brettley sneered a little.
When he could not get in touch with Bethan, Alice kept saying that perhaps Bethan and Gwen had a drink too much, that was why she was not answering her call.
Alice even came up with a lot of excuses for Bethan.
It was until Lucas went to Gwen’s house and found out that Gwen was so drunk she passed out, only then did he realize how serious and out of control the situation was.
At that moment, Alice already knew that something had happened to Bethan, yet she still dressed up before coming over.
Although he knew that Alice and Bethan never had a good relationship, at that moment, every action that Alice did disgusted him.
“It’s nothing much.”
Seeing how Brettley did not answer Alice’s question, the doctor cleared his throat and explained it to Alice to soothe the awkward atmosphere. “She has just been force -fed alcohol. She will be fine once she wakes up.”
Alice subconsciously looked at Bethan, who was lying on the bed, behind the doctor.
The man’s jacket on Bethan was an eyesore to her.
“J-Just… like that? She’s not injured anywhere else?”
The doctor shook his head. “No.”
“You seem to be eager for Bethan to have more injuries.”
Brettley coldly glanced at Alice. His tone was cold, “
Because of your overly optimistic view, you have stopped me from looking for her many times. She almost got ruined, yet you still show no ounce of guilt. On the contrary, you hope that she would be even more injured.”
Brettley sneered, “Alice, even if you don’t like Bethan, she has never once hurt you, right?”
Alice was a little stunned. She bit her lips rather aggrievedly. “Brettley, you misunderstood my intentions. I’m just worried for her…”
Then, Alice wiped away tears from her reddened eyes. “I’m from Sea City. I have heard of how vicious Liam Clark is. When you said that Bethan was taken away by Liam, I was worried for her…”
She sniffled her nose and said in a trembling tone, “
Liam is a person who could do anything to her. I just worried that the doctors did not do a thorough check-up on her.”
“I was afraid that Bethan might have any hidden injuries.”
The doctor sighed at Alice’s words, “I truly did a thorough check. She only has these injuries, but…”
The doctor touched his chin. “It’s quite strange that the cruel Liam would only hurt her this much.”
Alice nodded. “Hmm, I find it strange too.”
Liam had already kidnapped Bethan for such a long time, how was she only injured like that?
According to his usual efficiency, by the time Brettley got his men over, Bethan should be dead.
Alice was in a good mood at the thought of Bethan’s death, that was why she deliberately dressed up and rushed over.
She was expecting to see a dead body. Who would have thought…
Upon hearing the doctor’s words, Brettley’s expressions relaxed a little.
He calmly glanced at Bethan, who was still under an IV drip. Then, he looked at the time.
“It’s almost one-thirty in the morning. Alice, go back and rest first. I’ll stay here to look after her. We’ll head back to Banyan City first thing in the morning.”
Alice bit her lips. She reached out and held Brettley’s arm. “Brettley, you have done so much. Why don’t I stay here and look after Bethan? You go back and rest. You’re right. Because I was too optimistic back then and stopped you from looking for her, that caused her to almost get killed. I’m feeling quite guilty. Let me stay back and take care of her, to make amends. “
Brettley paused a little.
Make amends.
Guilt.
Hearing those words being said by Alice, he felt rather relieved.
Even though Alice was completely different from Bethan Peterson six years ago, she still had a kind heart.
However, he said, “You should go back and rest.” “No, Brettley…”
“Why don’t I take care of Bethan? “
When Brettley and Alice were arguing, a bright male voice rang through.
Brettley and Alice turned and looked.
Theo, who was in white, had his hand on the door handle. He looked at Brettley and Alice with mockery i n his eyes. “Why don’t you two go back and continue the argument. Bethan needs to rest in peace. I can look after her alone and it would be enough.”
Brettley’s expressions immediately darkened at Theo’s appearance.
“Why are you here?”
“After such a huge incident, how could I not come?”
Theo furrowed his brows and sneered. He entered the room and sat down on the chair by the side. “I’ll look after her.”
Since Theo was insistent, Alice immediately smiled and tugged on Brettley’s arm. “Brettley, why don’t we go back then. You still have a lot of work waiting for you back at Banyan City tomorrow. You need proper rest.”
Brettley furrowed his brow and looked at Theo closely before turning around and leaving with Alice.
The Walters’ mansion.
Old Mr. Walter was on a phone call. He was trembling furiously.
Liam Clark was taken down. Luke Jones and Brettley Morrison joined forces to take him down.
If Liam fell, that meant the downfall of the Walter family!
He gritted his teeth hard.
If it were not for his useless daughter offending Brettley, the Walter family would not have ended up that way!
He angrily lifted his phone up, about to throw it to the ground when a photo was sent at that moment.
