“I don’t believe it… “Impossible…
“How would Jason do this to me…”
Even if she said she did not believe it, the despair in her eyes already sold her out.
Bethan sighed and gently held Bonnie’s hand. “I was once as naive and foolish as you.”
Bonnie could no longer hold back. She hugged Bethan and wailed. While sobbing, she recounted how Jason was sincere and how much he sacrificed back then.
Bethan silently listened to her, as if she was looking at her past, foolish self.
The two of them talked until late at night.
In the end, Bonnie wiped tears away from the reddened eyes. She looked at Bethan.
“You previously said that I have to agree to a request of yours. Tell me. No matter what it is, I’ll agree to it.”
Bonnie spent the night at Bethan’s in Blue Bay Villa.
The next morning, Jason arrived at Blue Bay Villa early to pick Bonnie up to go try on wedding gowns.
Jason came too early, Bonnie was not awake yet. She cried the entire night. She only fell asleep early in the morning under Bethan’s comfort.
Bethan brought Nellie and Neil downstairs. They immediately noticed Jason in the living room.
Upon hearing footsteps, Jason turned to look.
The moment he saw Nigel, his eyes widened in shock. “Didn’t your son die already?”
“Yes, I’m a ghost.”
Nigel swept Jason a cold glance. “
I’m here to take your life.”
Nigel’s voice was so eerie, Jason was so frightened he was silenced.
After a while, he furrowed his brows, looked at Nigel, and laughed, “What life? I’m not the one who killed your brother.”
Then, he could not help but size Nigel up and exclaimed, “Identical twins truly are magical. They look exactly the same. I almost mistook him.”
Nigel harrumphed coldly and said nothing else.
Bethan did not want to deal with Jason. She only swept him a flat glance. “Bonnie slept late last night. Why don’t you come over in the afternoon? I think she’ll sleep through the entire morning.”
“It’s fine. I can wait here.”
Jason leaned back on the sofa. He glanced at Bethan and her children coldly. His attitude was extremely arrogant.
“I know that you hate me and you don’t want to see me. But since you got Bonnie to stay at your place, you should have expected that I’ll be here too.”
Then, Jason looked around the decor in the villa. He sneered.
“Mr. Morrison sure is rich. He could just move out of such a luxurious villa to let you all stay. To put it nicely, he got you to stay here to take care of your two children. To put it harshly…”
Jason sneered and said, “He doesn’t want to look at the three of you, he can’t offend you, but he could hide from you! “
“You’re lying!”
Nellie, who had been quiet all this while, was finally aggravated at Jason’s words.
She let go of Bethan’s hand and ran down the stairs. She directly rushed to Jason, opened her mouth, and bit Jason’s hand!
Nellie bit with all her might. The moment she bit him, Jason was in so much pain his eyes widened. He flung his arm hard.
Nellie was biting hard, Jason could not get her off!
“If you still continue this, don’t blame me for being rude! “
Jason furrowed his brows. His gaze turned vicious. He directly choked Nellie’s neck.
It all happened too quickly, Bethan could not react in time.
When she came to her senses, Jason was already choking Nellie. Nellie’s face flushed red being choked by Jason, but she still bit on Jason’s hand hard.
Bethan manically rushed forward. Before she could push Jason away, a large hand reached over and directly twisted the arm which Jason was using to choke Nellie.
Jason was in pain so he involuntarily let Nellie go. “Nellie.”
A low man’s voice rang out. “Let go.”
Nellie lifted her head and saw that it was Brettley. At that only then did she sigh in relief and let go of Jason.
She bit her lips and looked at Brettley aggrievedly. “He said that you don’t want to see us.”
“He’s lying.”
Brettley looked at the red handprint around Nellie’s neck. He was heartbroken. Viciousness flashed across his eyes.
The next second, Brettley pinned Jason to the ground. He stepped on Jason’s back with his custom- made leather shoes.
“You’re an adult, why are you going up against a six- year-old little girl?”
Bethan rushed over and hugged Nellie in her arms. She comforted Nellie while looking at Jason and Brettley.
Brettley was stepping on Jason with a bone- chilling gaze.
Jason was on the ground, being stepped on. He tried to struggle and break free. His eyes were filled with reluctance and loathing.
Bethan furrowed her brows.
If Brettley and Jason were putting on an act the day before, what about at that moment?
Instantaneous reactions could not lie.
Bethan hugged Nellie. She was suddenly a little swayed. Could it be that…
Jason and Brettley really did not have anything to do with each other?
A person like Jason, someone who climbed up from the bottom of the social ladder to his current position, the thing he could not accept the most was being stepped on.
Brettley should know about this too, yet he still did it.
If Brettley and Jason were working together, was he not afraid that Jason might be angry and turn his back against him?
“Mr. Morrison.”
Suddenly, Bonnie’s voice came from the staircase behind them.
Bonnie, who was in Bethan’s pajamas, furrowed her brows and came down.
“Let him go, please.”
Bonnie walked down and stood in front of Brettley. “Treat it as out of respect for my late father. I remember that my father was pretty good friends with the Morrison family when he was still alive.”
Brettley sneered. “I’m glad that you still think of Mr. Craig. If he was up above looking at how immature his daughter was, I’m afraid he might have regretted passing down the family’s fortune to you.”
Then, Brettley coldly retreated his foot. He looked down at Jason, who was fumbling to get up, condescendingly.
“Out of respect for Bonnie, I’ll only give you a warning. If I ever see you harming my children again, I’ll never let you go!”
Seeing Jason getting up, Bonnie hesitated for a moment. In the end, she strode over and gently helped him up. Her voice was tender.
“Jason, are you alright?” “I’m fine.”
Jason was in so much pain, but he still gently held Bonnie’s hand. “Be good and go change your clothes. I’ll take you to try on your wedding gown.”
Bonnie smiled and nodded. “I’ll go now.”
Then, she turned to look at Bethan, then Brettley. “Mr. Morrison, don’t be angry. I’ll leave with him soon.”
Bonnie let out a breath and went upstairs.
