“Are you alright? “
Jude rushed over and looked at Bethan worriedly. “I heard Jason’s voice. He didn’t hurt you, right?”
Bethan subconsciously shook her head.
After a while, she turned around to look. Her voice was a little hoarse.
“You and Brettley have been good friends for many years. Then, can you tell me if Brettley and Cynthal…”
“They never had an affair! “
Jude furrowed his brows and raised his fingers to the skies. “I, Jude Smith, swear to God, I use my life as a guarantee that I ‘m not lying to you! If Brettley and Cynthal truly had an affair, why did he not marry Cynthal for the past six years and only treated her as his fiancée? Clearly, he doesn’t like Cynthal. He only got Cynthal to be his fiancée out of respect for you, to take care of her! “
Then, Jude sighed, “Bethan, your misunderstanding for Brettley is really too deep. I never knew that you used to think of him that way. How could he have hired a murderer to kill you?
“Six years ago, on the day of your accident, Brettley had already told me that when we returned to Banyan City, he wanted to propose to you once again. To give you the wedding of the century, because he said that he has already fallen in love with you! “
Jude sighed. “He even got the engagement ring ready! Wait a moment! “
Jude liked to use social media, so many things, he could search from his social media feed.
He searched for a long time before finally finding a small video clip from six years ago.
In the video, Brettley was in the jewelry shop, seriously discussing with the salesperson.
“My wife’s character is more gentle and sensible, which design would suit her? Her fingers are slender. Would this design suit her more?”
Brettley’s words were followed by Jude’s wild laughter.
“Who would have thought our cold, arrogant, Mr. Brettley Morrison would have helpless moments!
Hahahaha! “
The video clip had finished playing.
Bethan was thunderstruck. She remained in the same spot.
All those years of memories that had to do with Brettley started replaying in her mind.
He…did not want to kill her.
He also did not have an affair with Cynthal.
He even wanted to propose to her once again, to give her the wedding of the century…
Bethan thought back about her hatred toward him all this while, ignoring his explanations…
She bit her lips hard, turned to look at Jude. Her voice was trembling. “Where is he now?”
“He should be at the Orchard Manor right now?”
Once Jude said that, Bethan left like the wind. He wanted to reach out to grab Bethan but he caught onto nothing.
“Sigh…”
Looking at Bethan running away, Jude furrowed his brows. He hesitantly placed his hands down.
“To Orchard Manor, quickly! “
Once she got in the taxi, Bethan recalled all those words that Jude told her, also all her memories with Brettley throughout the years.
She believed Jude’s words, but she also did not believe them.
She would only believe all this if Brettley said them himself!
Throughout the journey, Bethan’s heart was beating wildly. She felt all the blood in her body raging and churning!
They reached Orchard Manor in a short while.
Bethan threw a hundred dollar cash at the driver and rushed into Orchard Manor.
The gates of the manor were shut tight, with a carved fence around the manor.
A car entered the manor through a private entrance. It was Brettley’s car.
The car door opened and a tall man elegantly got out of the car. Bethan wanted to shout for him, but she saw him going around the car to the backseat of the car and opened the door.
A woman in a white dress came out of the car.
Then, Brettley reached his arms out and carried the woman up directly, and strode into the manor.
Bethan stood outside, looking at Brettley carrying the woman into the house. Her fervor for wanting to see him was instantly doused.
The initially clear sky was instantly gloomy with dark clouds.
Light rain fell. A cold breeze blew by. Bethan remained in the same spot. She fumbled and almost lost her balance.
She grabbed onto the carved railings to prevent herself from falling.
At that moment, the woman who was being carried by Brettley turned back to look.
When Bethan noticed the woman’s face, she only felt that something exploded in her mind.
Bethan has seen this woman before.
It was at the mall the day before. When Jason and Bonnie were picking out rings, she was casually shopping when she stumbled upon that woman.
At that moment, the woman was wearing the long linen dress she wore the day before. Her hair was long and all over. She was buried in Brettley’s arm pitifully.
Bethan’s mind went blank. She felt as if something was ripped from her heart.
She clearly remembered what the woman said in the mall the day before.
“Do you think Brettley would like this sort of pure white long skirt? Today is the first time I’m meeting him. I want to leave a good impression.”
At that thought, Bethan also recalled the middle -aged woman that was talking to the woman in the mall the day before, she called her Ms. Blake.
Bethan felt her mind in a mess.
That morning in Blue Bay Villa, she saw the caller ID on Brettley’s phone. Only one word was written on it, [Blake].
Thinking back about how Brettley did not even want to dress his wounds upon receiving that woman’s call and leaving immediately, Bethan felt as if a knife stabbed her heart.
She gripped onto the railings of the fence tightly. Her excitement from Jude’s explanation has instantly vanished.
As expected…
She was still wrong about Brettley.
Perhaps, he did not love her as much as Jude said.
Perhaps, he was already disappointed in her aloofness…
No matter what…
Bethan smiled bitterly and turned around, walking in the huge downpour.
Fiona Blake, who was in Brettley’s arms, noticed Bethan in the distance.
She squinted her eyes a little. Who was that woman? “What are you looking at?”
While in a daze, Brettley has already carried her in and placed her on the sofa.
“I saw a woman, a gorgeous woman,”
Fiona said. Her voice was extremely gentle.
“It’s raining and she did not have an umbrella with her. She’ll get a cold, right?”
Brettley smiled. “This place is in the middle of nowhere, how would there be a gorgeous woman?”
He gently poured her tea. “Drink up while it’s hot.” “Thank you.”
