Granny Morrison felt defeated, but she perked up as soon as she heard Brettley say that. “Did you hear that? He wants you to apologize! ” she snarled at Bethan. “It’s just a drawing, but you injured the CEO’s grandmother just now, so you have to apologize immediately! “
Brettley could not stand any of that anymore. “
Granny, I want you to apologize! ” he bellowed. “
How many times have I told you to stay out of my business? Bethan is working for me now! You tearing up her sketch is no different from tearing up a piece of contract in my office! “
Granny Morrison knew she was in the wrong, but she pursed her lips begrudgingly. “That’s different; every contract of yours is worth millions of dollars. How can you compare this to her drawings? It’s not like she’s Moon.”
Theo snorted in laughter. “What makes you think she isn’t?”
Looking at Granny Morrison’s bewildered expression, Theo let out a chuckle. “I guess you didn’t know this, huh? Well, Bethan is the legendary Moon herself. It’s a n honor for Morrison Group to have her working here, but she’s not getting the respect she deserves.”
Granny Morrison’s face lost its color. She glanced at Bethan dazedly, then looked back at Brettley. “That’s… impossible! “
Ever since she found out that Moon was the most talented and distinguished designer in the field of jewelry design, Granny Morrison had tried to track down Moon’s products, hoping to purchase some for her collection.
Unfortunately, because Moon had officially retired, all her jewelry pieces had been marked up to exorbitant prices. It was almost impossible to get her hands on any of them since they were so expensive.
Theo claimed that the woman standing in front of her was Moon herself. Naturally, Granny Morrison could not believe that.
“Why is it impossible? “The corner of Theo’s lips turned up into a smirk. “Why would a famous artist such as myself be friends with her if I didn’t know she was Moon?”
Granny Morrison’s face turned an even paler shade of white. She glanced at Theo and said, her voice trembling, “Then…the drawing I tore…”
“That sketch is worth millions, at least.”
The blood drained from Granny Morrison’s face. Seeing that Brettley did not deny anything, she could confirm that Theo was indeed telling the truth.
Brettley glanced at his grandmother’s stricken face and picked up the phone. He dialed a number and said to the person on the other line, “Come into my office and send Granny home.”
As soon as he hung up, Courtney entered the room and helped Granny Morrison up from her seat. “Come on, Granny, let’s go home.”
Granny Morrison knew Brettley was trying to help her get out of this sticky situation, so she immediately went along with it. “Alright, alright. I’ll be off then. I won’t interfere anymore.”
Initially, Alice had approached Granny Morrison for help. She even offered to gift Granny a set of Moon’s jewelry in return, but the series of events had taken a n unexpected turn. Not only did Granny Morrison fail to stick up for Alice, but she even offended Moon herself without knowing.
Brettley scowled as he watched his grandmother leave the room. “Please don’t meddle again in the future.”
“It’s all your wife’s fault. She’s the one who sent me here, “
Granny Morrison murmured. She tucked the check that Theo had given her into her pocket and quickly fled the scene.
“My apologies.”
As soon as the door was closed, Brettley let out a sigh and turned to Bethan. “This is all Granny’s fault–I apologize for that. I ’11 give you an extension of two days for you to complete the project.”
Bethan smirked. “There’s also another problem.”
She took out her phone and pulled up the article that Shannon had showed her this morning. Within a day, the report had acquired more than ten million views.
“I spoke to some of my friends who are familiar with news like this. They told me that an article can’t garner so many views in a day without people promoting it behind the scenes. I hope that Mr. Morrison can look into this matter, not just to prove my innocence, but also for your wife’s sake.
“Of course, even if you don’t want to investigate, I have my own means of proving myself. I have a surveillance tape from that night that I can release to the press any time I want.”
Bethan tucked her phone back into her pocket and continued, “I’ll give you two hours to get rid of whoever is behind this. If you fail to do so, I ‘ll take care of it on my own. Unfortunately, if that happens, Mrs. Morrison would become the laughing stock, not me. We don’t want that to happen, do we?”
With that, Bethan turned around and strode out of the room.
“Please take care of this, Mr. Morrison.”
Theo leaped out of his seat and smiled at Brettley before sprinting after her.
“Shall we eat dinner now, or do you want to move your stuff first?”
“Let’s get dinner first…”
Brettley watched as the two figures retreated, and their voices grew further away until he could not hear them anymore. He frowned and thought for a moment before finally lowering his head to peer at his computer screen.
He had been immersed in work the entire day. If it were not for Granny Morrison’s appearance, he would not have found out about that article.
He leaned back against his chair and stared at the headline, and Granny Morrison’s voice still lingered in his mind, “It’s all your wife’s fault. She’s the one who sent me here.”
Brettley narrowed his eyes as he thought of this.
Then, all of a sudden, his phone rang. It was Alice.
“Brettley, isn’t it time to get off work? What time are you coining home?”
Brettley’s expression darkened as he switched off his computer. “I’m coining home right now.”
Unfortunately, because Moon had officially retired, all her jewelry pieces had been marked up to exorbitant prices. It was almost impossible to get her hands on any of them since they were so expensive.
Theo claimed that the woman standing in front of her was Moon herself. Naturally, Granny Morrison could not believe that.
