Her limited edition jewelry was worth more than a hundred million.
Would such a talented designer be disabled from designing for the rest of her life because of such a small matter?
Brettley leaned back in the back seat and closed his eyes.
Bethan’s talents and skills were outstanding.
In the incident where Joseph framed Bethan, even his own daughter, Alice, agreed to take him to court and send him to prison to seek justice.
However, Bethan’s attitude toward this was obvious. She did not want Joseph to go to prison.
“I’ll find another way.”
Brettley took a deep breath and opened his eyes. He looked at Lucas. “I remember that you have a girlfriend?”
Lucas was stunned, but he immediately nodded. “
Yes. We’re getting married in three months.”
Then, he seemed to have thought of something and turned around. “Sir, aren’t we discussing Bethan?”
Why did he suddenly bring up his girlfriend?
Still at the back seat, Brettley’s gaze darkened. “Don’t you think that you’ve crossed the line with Bethan?”
Lucas was stunned. Crossed the line? Had…he?
Seeing how dazed Lucas was, Brettley turned around and looked out of the window.
“Your excessive concerns with her. Also, just now at the police station, you were whispering closely into Bethan’s ears.”
Lucas was stunned.
His slow brain spun quickly. Lucas finally knew the problem.
Was his boss…jealous?
Lucas cleared his throat and said, “Okay. I’ll pay more attention to this in the future.”
Brettley responded flatly and looked up at the apartment building.
The light in Bethan’s apartment had been switched on.
“Let’s go.”
Bethan walked out of the elevator and had just taken out her keys when she noticed light coming from under the door.
She subconsciously furrowed her brows.
Was someone in her house? Was it Anne? She did give her a set of spare keys when she just moved into the apartment, after all.
The video online was spread all over the place that morning. Anne must have seen it, too. She most probably came to comfort her.
At that thought, Bethan helplessly smiled. She opened the door, feeling slightly moved.
“Mommy! “
“Mommy! “
Once she opened the door, two small figures immediately pounced at her.
Neil and Nellie hugged each of her legs. They looked up at her with their adorable faces.
Nellie blinked her innocent huge eyes. “Mommy, you’re back so late! I almost fell asleep.”
Neil smiled and looked at Bethan. “Mommy, Godmother and I made good food! We’ve been waiting for you for a long time! “
Bethan was stunned at this sudden surprise.
When she came to her senses, she excitedly hoisted Nellie up into her arms and grabbed Neil’s hand. “
Why did you all come?”
“How could we not come after such an incident?”
Anne and John.
One of them was busy in the kitchen, while the other was busy setting the table up. “John sent me the video after seeing it this afternoon. Once I saw it, I knew that someone was trying to hurt you. You’re so amazing, you don’t need to plagiarize other people’s work! “
Once she finished the last dish, Anne turned off the gas stove. She looked at Bethan helplessly as she took off the apron, standing by the kitchen entrance.
“Is it Alice Peterson again?”
Bethan furrowed her brows. She secretly swept a glance at John, who was still busy.
Anne knew about her worries, so she immediately pulled Bethan into the bedroom. Before she closed the door, she reminded John, “John, go ahead and eat with the kids first. I’ll have a talk with Bethan.”
Once the door was closed, Bethan sighed and plopped herself onto the bed, lying down exhaustedly. “This time, it was my dad.”
Anne’s eyes widened. “Your dad?”
Bethan smiled bitterly as she looked up at the ceiling. “
After so many years, my parents finally realized that they treated me badly back then. They want to make it up to me now, but now, in their eyes, Alice is their daughter.”
Anne was so shocked that she could barely say anything. “So, they helped Alice to go up against you?”
Bethan closed her eyes and helplessly nodded. Anne was at a complete loss for words.
After a long while of silence, Bethan opened her eyes. “
Why did you bring Neil and Nellie?”
If she remembered correctly, after Nellie and Neil returned to Blue Bay Villa, they were well protected by Adrian’s men. She would not be able to see them usually, even if she wanted to.
Anne pursed her lips. “It’s thanks to Brettley–he was the one who contacted me. He said that you must be i n a terrible mood after encountering such a thing. He also had me take those two here to surprise you so you won’t be so sad.”
Then, Anne suddenly thought of something. “He said he went to pick you up. Why did he not come back with you?”
Bethan paused a little. The scene where Brettley was asking her to invite him up a moment ago appeared on her mind.
Did that mean that Brettley wanted to follow her upstairs because Anne and the kids were there?
She still thought that he might want to do things with her at such a time…
Anne did not notice the changes in Bethan’s expressions. She went to pour herself a glass of water, remarking as she drank, “Actually I feel that Brettley is very hard to read sometimes. After the video was posted online and it gained traction,
Morrison Group immediately sent out an announcement at first notice that the video is misleading.
“Not long after the notice, Brettley contacted me and told me about the incident. He said that you must be in a bad mood and told me to cheer you up.”
Anne could not help but scoff, “If I didn’t know that he was the scumbag that hurt you so much, I would’ve thought that he’s a good person.”
Bethan secretly clenched her fists.
After a while, she got up and rushed to the balcony.
The place where the Maserati once stopped was already empty. Bethan slapped her forehead in annoyance.
Brettley must have thought that she was nuts. He prepared a surprise for her, yet she refused to invite him up.
It was quite cold on the balcony.
In the cold night breeze, Bethan took her phone out and dialed Brettley.
“Are you going to thank me?” came Brettley’s first response the moment the call connected.
Bethan was silent for a while before a feeble sigh escaped her lips. “Why didn’t you tell me? I thought that…”
“You thought that I was going to do something to you?” said Brettley teasingly. “It’s rare of you to think of this after such a terrible encounter.”
Brettley’s comment made Bethan’s face burn as if she had been slapped.
