At the end of the day, Jason cautiously arrived at the design department.
“Ms. Bethan.”
He timidly knocked on the door. “We’ve made an appointment.”
Bethan came to her senses. She simply tidied her things up and followed Jason downstairs.
“Let’s take a taxi,” said Bethan calmly. After tiring herself the entire afternoon, she stretched a little.
Jason narrowed his eyes slightly. “You don’t drive?”
Bethan shook her head while hailing the taxi and smiled. “I don’t know how to drive.”
She actually knew how to drive back then, but after the accident six years ago, driving traumatized her.
Jason could not help but smile mockingly at Bethan’s attitude.
He got in the front passenger seat and looked at Bethan in the back seat from the rearview mirror.
“Who knew that you don’t know how to drive, Ms. Bethan. Don’t worry, we’re all acquainted. You can buy a car, and I can be your driver next time.”
He then smiled meaningfully. “You’d be happy with my driving skills. I can drive all sorts of vehicles, especially huge trucks. I ‘m great at driving them.”
Bethan’s face instantly lost its colors upon his words. She bit her lip. The scene by Bay Bridge six years ago involuntarily popped up in her mind: Jason driving that huge truck, smiling sinisterly while crashing toward her.
“Mr. Morrison, I didn’t kill her. Should I crash her again?”
“Don’t blame me. If you want to blame, blame yourself for loving the wrong person! “
“See you in the next life! “
Bethan’s heart was wrenched together. She sweated profusely, cold sweats running down her back.
“Miss, where to?”
The driver’s voice suddenly brought her back to reality. Bethan took a deep breath.
“To the mental asylum by the outskirts.”
The driver furrowed his brows and looked at Bethan in the rearview mirror. He asked rather concernedly, “
Miss, are you alright?”
“She’s fine.”
Jason changed into a more comfortable position in front. “She just recalled some unhappy memories.”
He raised his brows and side-eyed Bethan. “Am I right, Ms. Bethan?”
Jason’s every word got onto Bethan’s fragile nerves. She furrowed her brows tightly.
Technically, Jason should not be able to identify her based on her current identity and looks.
However, ever since they got in the taxi, Jason had been intentionally, or unintentionally, referring back to the incident six years ago.
His driving skills, the truck, and also when he just pointed out she was ‘recalling unhappy memories’.
Were all these that he said just a coincidence, or…did he already know?
The taxi driver started driving.
Bethan sat behind and pretended to close her eyes and fall asleep. Through the crack of the eyes, she secretly observed Jason through the rearview mirror.
Jason was also looking at the rearview mirror, examining her.
The atmosphere was so quiet that it was a little suffocating.
“Is she your girlfriend?”
Perhaps it was too quiet that the driver cleared his throat and started talking to Jason.
“No.”
Jason swept another glance at Bethan before retracting his gaze and looking forward. “How could I have a girlfriend like her?”
The driver chuckled. “From what I can see, she looks..quite pretty.”
“She’s pretty, but it’s all plastic surgery.”
The driver paused for a while. “Cosmetic surgeries are quite common nowadays. Everyone likes to look beautiful, right?”
Jason sneered. His tone was filled with mockery. “
Cosmetic surgeries are indeed quite common, but I’d never want this heartless woman, even if you give her to me.”
Jason coldly glared at Bethan via the rearview mirror.
Bethan tried to suppress the confusion in her heart and pretended to fall asleep, but the confusion in her mind grew.
How did Jason know she had cosmetic surgery? Her surgery was done by top-notch doctors abroad. Even Anne, who had a great cosmetic surgery, could only assist the doctors there.
She did not believe that Jason would be able to notice it. If he knew about her cosmetic surgery, someone must have told him.
Also, if Jason knew she had undergone cosmetic surgery, he should know who her true identity was.
Jason should be clear about how she was a victim in the incident back then.
However, he said that she was heartless. What was that all about?
Just when Bethan was still confused, Jason’s phone rang.
“Mrs. Morrison.”
When he started chatting with the taxi driver, Jason thought that Bethan had already fallen asleep, so he did not intentionally try to hide it or something. “Didn’t we already say not to contact each other for the time being? Okay, don’t worry. I won’t mention your name in front of her. Mmh, I ‘ll wait for you to contact me.”
Jason hung up. He nonchalantly turned and chatted with the taxi driver about the changes in Banyan City throughout the years.
Bethan sat in the backseat. On the surface, she seemed calm, but deep inside, she was overwhelmed with waves of emotions!
She never thought that Alice would take action so quickly!
Jason had just returned to Banyan City for two days, did he not? In just two days, not only did Alice get Jason to be on her side, but she even got him to do things for her.
Her tactics and actions were simply amazing. It was only that…
Bethan changed a different position and continued sleeping, facing the window.
Six years ago, Brettley hired Jason to kill her.
Six years later, Alice used the face that she once had to contact Jason.
In that case, who was she to Jason?
Bethan did not believe that Alice would tell a person like Jason her true identity. It was too dangerous.
Therefore, Alice , at that moment , should be Bethan Peterson from six years ago in Jason’s eyes.
However…
Bethan pursed her lips. Jason deliberately brought up the incident six years ago in front of her. He even said that she had unhappy memories, so Jason definitely thought she had something to do with the incident back then.
Since she was not the victim, she must have been the perpetrator. At that thought, Bethan suddenly found it comical.
Back then, when Brettley hired Jason to kill her, she almost lost her life and the lives of her babies. She survived.
Six years later, in Jason’s eyes, she suddenly became the co-conspirator with Brettley?
Life truly had played her like a fiddle.
Soon, the taxi arrived at the mental asylum. Once the car stopped, Jason immediately opened the door and got out of the car.
The taxi driver did not expect that Jason would refuse to wake his companion up, so he had to get out of the car, go to the backseat, and wake Bethan up.
