Did he not say he was poor previously and wanted Brettley to invest? All of a sudden, he was willing to bet on a ten-million-dollar sports car?
Were all young people that crazy?
Christian smiled. “Relax. I dare gamble that much to prove that I’m confident in winning.”
Then, he lowered his gaze and buckled Bethan up. “Sit tight.”
With the whistle of the female referee, Christian’s car was the first one to speed forth manically.
The speed this time was much faster than before. The wind was much sharper, too.
Bethan could only hold onto the handle tightly. She looked at the other cars from the rearview mirror while feeling the huge air pressure.
Each of the cars was at least a few dozen to a few hundred meters away from Christian.
Soon, Christian finished a lap.
Christian got down in a relaxed manner. He turned back to look at the others, who were so furious that their faces turned blue.
“I won.”
“You’re gonna have to give me the highway tonight.”
How could those young men take such ridicule?
Thus, they surrounded Christian and yelled at him, wanting to beat him up.
Bethan helplessly rubbed the middle of her brows.
When those men surrounded them, she was afraid that Christian might end up in this sort of conflict with them.
Her worries came true.
However, Christian was not afraid at all. Not only was he not afraid, but he also raised his eyes at Bethan. “Fighting is also a form of releasing stress. Do you want to join in? It’s fine if you don’t want to. I ‘ll be quick.”
Bethan sighed.
Although she did not like to fight…
Back then, after her surgery, the doctors advised her to learn kickboxing to amp up her recovery.
Although she had never done it in real life, she could not let Christian get beat up alone that night.
After all, Christian brought her out to race for stress- alleviation.
Bethan took a deep breath and moved her limbs a little. Then, she got out of the car with Christian.
However, Bethan was not completely confident in her and Christian’s fighting skills, so before she got out of the car, she secretly called the police.
When they saw Bethan getting out of the car, they laughed.
“My, my, both of you together? We’re the kings of Banyan City’s eastern circumferential highway. If we don’t beat you up, how are we going to make you pay for your arrogance?”
The call in the car was still connected.
The police, on the other end of the call, furrowed his brows. “There’s a fight on the eastern side of the circumferential highway.”
Half an hour later, the police arrived.
Some of those so-called kings of the highway had been beaten to the ground, unable to get up.
Bethan and Christian had bruises on them too, but they were comparably not that serious.
The police furrowed their brows and arrested all of them, bringing them back to the police station.
After making their statements, Christian looked at Bethan, who had bruises on her arms and bloodstains on her face. He could not help but laugh and secretly took a photo of her.
Although Bethan was bruised, she was still gorgeous. In fact, her beauty was even more vivid than before.
He took a photo of himself without any hesitation. He placed his photo and Bethan’s photo together, posting them on his social media.
He wrote, (Fighting is also a way of relaxing. I’m honored to be able to help someone relive their younger days. It’s so late, though, so can someone bail us out?! ]
Ding!
At the same time, in the study at Orchard Manor, Brettley’s phone, placed on the table, rang gently.
It was from Fiona.
(Brettley, I’m going to bed. Rest early.] Brettley calmly replied to her, (Good night.]
After replying to her message, Brettley, who rarely browsed through his social media, inexplicably scrolled through it.
The moment he refreshed the page, the first post he saw was Christian’s.
He tapped Bethan’s photo.
Bethan, in the photo, was in a long light blue dress. She was not wearing makeup, and there were still bruises and scars from the fight a moment ago.
However, she was surprisingly mesmerizing.
She was so lively that she did not seem like a mother of two six-year-olds.
Brettley slightly narrowed his eyes.
It was one thing to go out racing with Christian so late at night, but they even got in a fight?
This woman was really getting ahead of herself! At that thought, Brettley coldly placed his phone down and wanted to continue working.
Try as he did, he could barely absorb a single word on his documents.
In the end, he simply closed his documents and picked up his phone. “Lucas, prepare the car. To the police station.”
When the clock struck 11, Bethan finished giving her statement.
She and Christian were sitting together with the youths they had fought.
Looking at each one of them calling their parents to bail them out, Bethan was troubled.
Who was she going to get to bail her and Christian out?
It was almost 11 at night, and Anne and Bonnie must have been asleep already. Shannon and Arianna would not be awake, too.
Samson or Zayne might have the time, but…Bethan thought that it was rather embarrassing to get them to bail her out.
Just when she was in a dilemma about what to do, a policeman entered.
“Bethan, Christian Moore, someone is here to bail you out. You two can go.”
Bethan furrowed her brows and subconsciously looked at Christian.
Christian looked stumped, too. “I didn’t contact anyone.”
Both of them followed the policeman with an innocent expression.
The moment they exited, they saw a tall man standing in the corridors. He was in an ash-gray- colored trench coat, his expression so fierce that it was terrifying.
Upon seeing them, Brettley swept a cold glance at Christian, then he looked at Bethan.
“Going out racing and fighting with others so late at night. You sure are turning younger.”
Bethan rolled her eyes at him.
“I ‘ve been working non-stop for half a month. Now that I don’t have anything to do, can’t I relax a little bit?”
Brettley harrumphed coldly. “What you mean by relaxing is racing and fighting with nineteen -year- old kids?”
“Of course,”
Bethan sneered. “Compared to you being in a relationship with the twenty-year-old Ms. Blake, me fighting and racing with nineteen -year-olds is already considered much more reserved.”
Looking at how tense it was between the two of them, Christian gently cleared his throat and stood in between Brettley and Bethan.
