Bethan interrupted Christian before he could even finish.
“How about this: I’m free after work tonight. Bring your company’s information to my house. Didn’t you want to visit my son? You can see him while I give you some suggestions.”
Momentarily stunned, Christian then nodded seriously. “Okay.”
In the end, he lifted his gaze and looked at Bethan seriously.
“You’re so sincere. Your son will get better.”
Bethan smiled and laughed. “Thank you.”
That evening after work, Bethan did not even stay a minute longer. She got off work on time.
Shannon looked at her in shock. “Director Bethan, so early today?”
“Mmh.”
Bethan smiled gently. “I have guests tonight. I’m going to the seafood market to get some groceries.”
Bethan then took her bag and left in a good mood.
Fiona, sitting at the corner, slightly narrowed her eyes. She took her phone and sent Brettley a message.
(Brettley, I want to cook tonight. Can you accompany me to the seafood market?) (Alright, when do you want to leave?) (Right now.)
“Fish, vegetables, chicken, pork…”
In the seafood market, Bethan was searching up on her phone food that helped increase blood circulation, which Anne had sent to her, while pushing her cart of food, picking suitable ingredients.
She had a guest coming over that night, and she also had not cooked a good meal for Nellie and Nigel in many days.
Christian and Nigel, both of whom were undergoing an operation, rarely could eat together. She had to do something nice for them.
She had to get rid of the ingredients that Christian did not eat that afternoon while also having a variety of tastes that suited the appetite of a 19 -year-old man and two six-year-old children.
Just when she was looking at her phone with her head lowered, her cart bumped into someone in front.
Thud!
A woman wailed in pain in front of Bethan. “Ouch! Look where you’re going! “
Bethan came to her senses and immediately apologized.
“Sorry, sorry.”
The moment she lifted her head, she realized she knew the vixen in a cheap t-shirt in front of her.
Yvonne Walter.
Yvonne was the daughter of the Walter family’s butler. She had helped Hailey Walter many times to go up against her.
Hailey had already passed away for more than a month.
Throughout this time, Bethan had not heard any news regarding the Walter family. She did not even expect that she would meet Yvonne in that seafood market.
Yvonne, at that moment, was much more downbeat compared to when she had Hailey’s support.
She had gotten fat. She stopped putting on makeup. Her clothes have changed from exquisite luxury brands to cheap t-shirts and pants with prints from the market.
Yvonne probably did not expect that she would stumble across Bethan there, too.
She was in a daze for a few seconds before a hint of coldness flashed across her fierce face.
“Bethan? You’re still alive?”
Bethan narrowed her eyes. “Why can’t I be alive?” she frigidly responded.
Yvonne narrowed her eyes. “You used to act as if you cared a lot for your child. I thought that you’d follow your son and die together with him after his death! Who would’ve thought that not only are you well and alive…”
Yvonne lowered her gaze and looked at the groceries in Bethan’s cart. She sneered.
“Tsk, tsk. You’re even buying so much nutritious food for yourself? Heartless b*tch! “
Bethan’s hands gripped the handles of the cart tighter.
Only God knew how agonizing it was for her to come out from grieving Neil’s death.
Yvonne was an outsider. What right did she have to judge her?
Bethan squinted her eyes fiercely and looked at Yvonne.
“What about you? Didn’t you use to follow Hailey Walter? She jumped off a building, so why are you still alive?”
Upon the mention of Hailey Walter, Yvonne shuddered violently.
“You have no right to mention Hailey! “
Yvonne glared at Bethan angrily. Her voice was so shrill the entire market could hear her.
“You’re the one that killed Hailey! It was you! What right do you have to mention her? You murderer! “
Yvonne’s voice attracted the gaze of almost everyone over there.
A fierce-looking man with a large belly rushed over. He hugged Yvonne in his arms.
“Honey, what’s going on?”
Yvonne sniffled her nose and pointed at Bethan.
“Hubby, this is the woman I mentioned previously– the one who killed my best friend! Not only did she kill my best friend, but she even killed her own son! “
That man held Yvonne as he stared at Bethan fiercely before spotting the items in Bethan’s cart.
He said coldly, “Your son just died, and you’re already starting to enjoy life? How on earth are there mothers like you?”
Bethan narrowed her eyes. She looked at the man coldly and smiled. “I’m not your mother. Who are you to comment on me being a mother?”
“You…! “
The fierce-looking man glared menacingly at Bethan. “
What did you say?”
Bethan gently chuckled.
“I was still baffled while Yvonne wasn’t in Sea City but here in Banyan City. It turns out that she married someone from Banyan City.”
Then, she swept a cold gaze at Yvonne. “Didn’t the Sea City police not contact you?
Although Hailey Walter is dead, the crimes she committed are still there. Since you know so clearly about the details about the death of my son and Hailey, aren’t you an accomplice?”
“Tell me–what’11 happen if I make a police report right now?”
Yvonne’s face instantly turned miserably pale upon Bethan’s words.
The man holding Yvonne looked at her in his arms. He could not help but narrow his eyes as he glared at Bethan fiercely.
“You heartless b*tch! No wonder your son died! “
He reached his hands out to comfort Yvonne in his arms while pointing at Bethan, barking, “This matter has happened so long ago, yet you still want to put the blame on my wife? Why did your son die but not other people’s? It’s all because you’re evil and have done so many bad things all the time!
“I hear you have more than one child. Maybe because of how evil you are usually, your other children would also– “
His words utterly aggravated Bethan.
Before he could finish her sentence, Bethan angrily picked up the things beside her and threw them brutally at that man.
“I dare you to say that one more time! “
The man was in pain, but shrugging off everything else, he let go of Yvonne and rushed at Bethan.
“Brettley, do you want to send some men to help out?”
