Once she heard Thomas was drinking here, she quickly looked for her assistant to bail her out.
After she coaxed and bothered unceasingly, she finally came out tonight by using the excuse saying thatshe was sick.
Thus, the person Wendy was scared to see the most was Brettley.
All that, and she still bumped into him! “If I remembered correctly, you’re not supposed to be here.”
Brettley waved his hand and had Lucas inspectThomas.
He looked down from a condescending angle at Wendy’s face.
“Ms.Fann, should I send you back now, or are you going to go back on your own?”
Wendy’s face looked terrible.
She bit her lip and looked at the crowd around her.
She knew Brettley purposely was helping her to avoid humiliation.
Not many people knew Wendy had been detained. If Brettley decided to tell everyone she was detained because she had exposedother people’s privacy in a live stream…she would never have the chance to work in the entertainment industry anymore! Wendy took a deep breath and looked back at her assistants.
“Let’s go.”
At this moment, she did not have the power and courage to go against Brettley.
She needed to be able to work in the entertainment industry.
After taking a few steps, still bitter, she turned around and looked at Brettley.
“If I remember correctly, your business in Merchant City got disrupted and interfered with by someone more than amonth ago. Why did you come out now?”
Wendy’s true question was obvious.
Thomas had been meddling with Brettley’s business, so why did Brettley want to help Thomas repeatedly? Brettley knew what she was asking about.
He curled up his lips and smiled.
“Because I have a cousin. His family name is Howard.”
Wendy fell silent at this response.
She bit her lip and looked at the drunk Thomas, then at Brettley once more.
It never occurred to her that Brettley and Thomas were related.
Looking at them…there were a few similarities between the two men.
She sighed.
“I have nothing else to say.”
After that, she left with her two assistants.
Once Wendy left, Brettley leaned on the bar elegantly, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and lit it up.
Then, he looked at the crowd around him.
“Are you guys planning to watch further?”
It was a simple question, but it was filled with a strong meaning that suffocated many.
The crowd exchanged looks with each other and quickly dispersed.
When everyone was gone, Brettley took over Thomas, who was obviously drunk and passed out, from Lucas.
“Sir, I’ll carry him,” said Lucas with a small voice as he furrowed his brow.
Ever since Brettley fell from the cliff more than a year ago, it was hard for him to do any physically related work.
Not even Bethan knew about this.
It was a secret between Brettley and Lucas.
“It’s okay.”
Brettley sighed Gr}.-gla bent over to carry Howard.
As he walked, he indifferently added, “Before I knew Thomas, I didn’t even know I had a cousin.
He was only five years old when his mother passed away, and he was the child from the first wife.
All that, yet he was called an illegitimate child…
“It must’ve been very rough for him all these years. I’m one of the few families he has left, but I never once took care of him.”
That was why no matter how Thomas troubled him, he neverfought back during the month and more.
After knowing Thomas’ life, he felt sorry for Thomas and thought that he must feel very lonely.
In fact…he should have investigated his mother’s family earlier on.
As his father continuously blamed him for the death of his mother over the years, he did not dare to face knowing anything about her mother.
He knew nothing except her mother’s family name was Moore.
Furthermore, he only knew about his mother’s father after meeting Christian.
That was how he knew Thomas was his cousin more than a month ago.
After Brettley put Thomas in the car, his phone rang.
Bethan was calling him.
Brettley returned home and headed to the study. When he pushed the door to enter, he spotted Bethan reading the information Nigelsearched for her.
Yannie had told everything Thomas told her, including the truth about Brettley’s mother’s death, to Bethan.
The first thing Bethan did after listening was to tell it to Brettley.
Secondly, she had Nigel help search for any records.
She understood Brettley too well.
If she did not ask Nigel to help with the investigation, he would get Lucas todo it.
She rather did it on her own and got Nigel to help rather than waiting for him to investigate and doing nothing about it.
Nigel was having his summer break, too.
He did not have to go to school and had much spare time in his hands.
“What are you reading?”
After entering the study, Brettley took off his tie and walked over.
He put a hand on the table and another one on Bethan’s waist while looking at the laptop screen in front of Nigel.
It was the information Nigel found in the mental asylum in Banyan City.
The record showed that a woman was admitted to the mental asylum for treatment when Brettley was five yearsold.
On the fifth day in the mental asylum, the woman chose to end her life.
In spite of that, the registration name of this woman was not Brettley’s mother’s name.
It was a non-related person by the name of Ruth Hayes.
Bethan furrowed her brow and looked at Brettley.
“Do you know this Ruth Hayes?”
If she remembered correctly, Granny Morrison who passed away more than a year ago had the same family name as this person.
