Brettley furrowed his brows. A hint of aloofness flashed across his face. “Alice, pretending to be miserable should only be done to a certain degree. Bethan is not the type of person who would say such things. You and I know that clearly.”
Then, Brettley got up and went upstairs. He said without turning his head back. “I know that Joseph harming Bethan has nothing to do with you. Your voice is hoarse already. Go have a good rest. I ‘m going to work.”
Tears were still by the corner of Alice’s eyes. She looked at Brettley’s back with misty eyes. “Brettley, what are you talking about?”
Brettley turned back, smiled gently, and glanced at Alice. “You should know what I’m talking about.”
Although Brettley and Bethan had not known each other for as long as he and Alice, Brettley was clear on what type of person Bethan was.
She has suffered so many accidents and unfairness previously, yet she has never once muttered such words. How would she say those words to Alice?
No matter what, Brettley felt that Bethan would never say such words.
Alice’s expressions turned from being aggrieved to shock, and finally, shame.
“I…”
“Go rest. I’m tired too.”
Brettley coldly spat out those words, turned, and went upstairs.
Alice remained in the same spot. She clenched her fists tightly.
No.
It could not be this way!
Brettley has been treating her terribly already! On top of what Bethan told her that afternoon…
Alice closed her eyes and was silent for a long time. I n the end, she turned around and swept a glance at the servants behind her. “Bring me a pot of tea.”
Twenty minutes later, there was a knock on the door of Brettley’s study.
Alice, in sexy pajamas, walked in gracefully with a tray. “Brettley.”
Brettley, who was buried in work, did not even lift his head. “Didn’t I tell you to have some rest?”
“I can’t sleep.”
Alice bit her lips and slowly walked over. She placed the tray on the table and gracefully took the teapot and teacup out.
Alice poured tea seductively. “I purposely made a pot of tea to apologize to you.”
Brettley furrowed his brows. At that moment only he raised his head.
Alice, standing in front of him, was indeed gorgeous and seductive.
The fabric of her pajamas covered little of her body. It was as if he could tear it off with one hand.
However…
Brettley turned to look at the calendar . “It’s almost autumn. Won’t you get cold wearing this?”
Alice’s sobs rang out. Her back shuddered while she sobbed.
Brettley sighed and gently patted her back, “This has nothing to do with you. You left Brettley and Natasha for so many years. Their actions have nothing to do with you.”
A hint of cunningness flashed across Alice’s eyes. She remained buried in Brettley’s arms.
After a while, Alice looked up still sobbing. “Is Bethan alright? I went to visit her in the hospital this afternoon. She treated me very badly. She said vehemently that I was the one that urged my father to harm her…”
Alice wiped her tears. Her voice was hoarse, “I have already tried my best to apologize to her, but she would not even accept it. She also said…”
Brettley gently rubbed Alice’s back. “What did she say?”
“She said that the apple does not fall far from the tree. Sooner or later, I will also…”
Alice choked. She was so agitated she could not finish her sentence.
The hand that Brettley was using to gently rub Alice’s back suddenly stopped.
After a while, he retracted his hands. “Are you sure that Bethan said that?”
Alice nodded fervently. Tears were still streaming down her face. “Of course. I was shocked too, that Bethan would say such a thing…”
Brettley furrowed his brows. A hint of aloofness flashed across his face. “Alice, pretending to be miserable should only be done to a certain degree. Bethan is not the type of person who would say such things. You and I know that clearly.”
Then, Brettley got up and went upstairs. He said without turning his head back. “I know that Joseph harming Bethan has nothing to do with you. Your voice is hoarse already. Go have a good rest. I ‘m going to work.”

Brettley turned to look at the calendar . “It’s almost autumn. Won’t you get cold wearing this?”
Alice was dressed in a revealing way, standing in front of Brettley. She never expected that Brettley would say such words.
Her face turned a little pale. Then, she gently laughed, “Brettley…”
Alice went around the desk and directly approached Brettley. She tenderly sat on his lap, burying herself in his arms. She slid her long finger across his cold, handsome face.
“With you around, even if I don’t wear anything, I won’t feel cold.”
Alice’s actions were extremely seductive, one would not be able to resist her facial expression.
However…
Brettley furrowed his brows. He put her down from his arms.
