(You’re still with Bethan, right? Help me take a picture of who she left with, and I’ll pay you extra for it.]
Half an hour later, she received a photo from Irene. It was a picture of Bethan getting into a familiar black Maserati.
Alice could make out the vague figure of a man sitting in the backseat. She stared at the photo for a long time and gritted her teeth in anger.
Her suspicions were right!
Brettley had gone to meet up with that b*tch Bethan again!
She had ‘slept ‘ with Theo just two days ago and even publicly announced they were dating just the day before!
Why was Brettley still so fixated on this woman?
Alice’s face contorted with rage and jealousy. She had spent six years changing her appearance to look like Bethan and take over her identity, all because she wanted to gain Brettley’s love and affection.
All that, and he was still obsessed with that b*tch!
The more Alice thought of it, the more furious she got, so she picked up her phone and called the Walters’ butler.
“Richard, help me kill Bethan! I want her dead! “
Richard chuckled from the other end of the line. “Ms. Walter, what’s wrong? Why are you so angry? Even if you kill Bethan now, Brettley won’t return to your side anyway.”
Alice rolled her eyes. “What should I do, then?”
“Do you remember the time when you asked me to kidnap Theo? I sent some people over to Bethan’s place at Swan Lake Residences.”
Alice furrowed her brows upon hearing this. “Why?”
“Well, I took some stuff from her place…”
Richard sighed. “Some of my men were targeted by Brettley’s best friend, Jude. He sent some people to keep an eye on my men. I specially ordered them to kidnap Theo and take some things from Bethan’s house.”
Alice still did not understand what Richard was trying to tell her. “What are you trying to say?”
“Ms. Hailey, please don’t be angry. You’re no longer Hailey Walter anymore –you’re now Alice Peterson. Since Hailey Walter no longer exists, this means anyone can assume her identity, even Bethan.
“Think about this. If Brettley finds out that the woman he has been obsessed with is also the same person he has hated with all his guts… Do you think he’ll still love her? If he doesn’t love her anymore, he’ll return to your side, sooner or later! “
Alice’s face lit up at his words. Richard was right!
If she killed Bethan, it would not change the fact that Brettley was still in love with her. Therefore…she would let Bethan become the person he hated the most!
Alice looked forward to how all this would turn out. She could not wait to see Brettley’s reaction when he discovered that Bethan was actually Hailey Walter.
10 p.m.
The black Maserati stopped at the front yard of a low-cost house located on the outskirts of Banyan City. The gate was closed, but Bethan could hear noises coming from inside the house. There seemed to be a lot of commotion going on inside.
She got out of the car after Brettley and frowned, gazing at the yard before her. “This is…”
“This is where Zach and Yuri live.”
Brettley glanced at her, then pushed open the wrought-iron gates.
There was a van parked in the driveway, and a few people were moving some luggage into the van. Yuri immediately caught sight of Brettley and Bethan and greeted them enthusiastically, “Ms. Bethan, it’s so late now. Are you here to see us off?”
Bethan furrowed her brows. “See you off?”
“Yes.”
Yuri glanced at her with a puzzled expression. “We’re getting on a plane in two hours and flying off to the summer camp abroad. We’re going to be Ms. Nellie and Mr. Neil’s bodyguards! “
Bethan’s entire body stiffened. She turned around stiffly to glance at Brettley. “You… When you said that Zach and Yuri won’t be working at Morrison Group anymore…this was what you meant?”
Brettley snickered. “What else did you think? Did you think I was sending them abroad because of the rumors I’d heard?”
Bethan bit down on her lip and did not know what to answer.
“By the way, Ms. Bethan.”
Yuri scratched his head somewhat awkwardly and said, “Do you remember that girl, Bonnie Lane, who was sent into a mental asylum? You asked me if I heard any news about her brother. He’s here right now. Do you want to meet him?”
With that, he lifted his head to stare at a man dressed in a black shirt and had on a hat. “Come here, Jason! “
The man shouted a reply and strode in their direction.
As soon as Bethan caught sight of the man’s face, she felt her blood run cold.
She was right.
This man named Jason…was the same person who had hit her with a truck and removed her hand from the railing. This was the man who had caused her to fall into the sea!
“Hello, Ms. Bethan.”
Jason lifted his head and smiled at her, revealing a row of white teeth.
He looked exactly the way she remembered.
Bethan could not fight back the shriek that escaped her lips as she instantly backed away from him.
Brettley quickly laid a hand on her back and asked, “
What’s wrong?”
Bethan opened her mouth to say something, but nothing came out. She was so frightened that she could not even say a single word.
This was the man who almost killed her! He was her greatest fear!
“Maybe Ms. Bethan is just too excited to meet me.”
Jason gave Brettley a respectful smile. “My sister used to be friends with Ms. Bethan. She’s always wanted me to return so that I can take care of my sister.”
With that, he smiled at Bethan. “Isn’t that right, Ms. Bethan?”
Bethan’s throat felt so tight that she could not even squeeze out a single syllable. After a moment, she nodded in silence to show her agreement.
She was terrified of Jason. After all, this was the man that Brettley had sent to kill her.
However, no matter how scared she was, Bethan knew she could not show her true emotions. Otherwise, Brettley would quickly pick up on it and realize something was wrong, which would lead to him possibly figuring out her true identity.
“Why don’t we exchange contacts, Ms. Bethan?”
Jason took out his phone and walked toward her.
Bethan had to use all her might to move her body again. Then, finally, she exhaled and said slowly, “Is that necessary?”
“Yes, I think it is.”
Jason grinned. “I’ve been to the mental asylum already. They told me they need at least two of Bonnie’s friends and family to bail her out. You and I would make two people exactly.”
Bethan paused for a moment, then finally nodded.
It had been a while since Bonnie was admitted into the mental asylum in Cynthal’s place. She had impersonated Cynthal to save her brother. Although Bethan knew that a mental asylum was not a good place to live, she still could not forgive Bonnie. If Bonnie had not taken Cynthal’s place, Cynthal would not have been able to kidnap Neil.
Neil had suffered severe injuries from the kidnapping, so Bethan still could not forgive Bonnie for what had happened and never visited her even once.
Time certainly flew.
“Why are you so eager to exchange contacts? “
Zach dragged out one last suitcase and stuffed it into the van’s trunk. “Jason, you’re going to become Morrison Group Tower’s new security guard in place of us.
There’s plenty of chances for you to run into Ms. Bethan in the future, so don’t be so impatient. You’re going to scare her.”
Jason gave a smile. “You’re right.”
Bethan bit down on her lip and turned around to glance at Brettley. “He…”
“Yes,”
Brettley answered impassively. “I don’t have any tasks for him, so I’m hiring him as a security guard for the time being.”
