Theo scratched his head. He thought for a long time before he recalled one other person.
“I gave it to Alice.”
Bethan instantly tensed.
She turned to look at Theo in shock. “What do you mean? You gave Alice the…surveillance footage?”
“Mmh.”
Theo furrowed his brows. “I saw how Alice bullied you yesterday, how she slandered you, and how she got Granny Morrison to make things difficult for you, so… I registered a new email and sent her the email. I warned her to tone her bullying down. It doesn’t mean that we don’t have the evidence to bring her down.”
Then, Theo pursed his lips. “I don’t think she’d do this, would she? The news are all pointing their fingers at her. She didn’t need to post the video just to get scolded, right?”
Bethan narrowed her eyes and glanced out of the window.
After a while, she smiled. “Perhaps to others, it might be impossible, but for Alice , she could do it no matter how absurd it sounds.”
“Bethan”
After saying goodbye to Theo, Bethan just entered Morrison Group Tower when someone stopped her.
It was no other than the person who shared the exact face as her previous self, Mrs. Morrison.
The lobby of the office was filled with people.
Due to the news the day before, plus the incident of the video that day, everyone in the office seemed to know about Bethan and Alice.
Everyone was on stake-out. Some peeped in secret, while some were bolder that they immediately took their phone out and started filming.
Bethan disliked the feeling of being placed under the spotlight.
She furrowed her brows and looked at Alice coldly. “
Just say what you want to say.”
Thud!
Alice immediately knelt in front of Bethan without any warning, and gasps echoed in the entire lobby.
Alice was also Brettley’s wife, no less!
The boss’ wife knelt before Bethan, a mere staff of the office!
Bethan took a step back and rubbed the middle of her brows. What she said in the car previously was right –Alice was a strange one. Alice posted the video herself, and it caused people on the internet to deride her.
At that moment, she stopped Bethan at the lobby of the office and knelt to her?
Bethan wanted to take a few steps back, but there was too much of a crowd. She only took two steps back before she could no longer retreat.
In the end, Bethan helplessly furrowed her brows and looked at Alice on the floor.
“Mrs. Morrison, what are you playing at?”
“Please forgive me. “
Alice looked up at Bethan with tears in the corner of her eyes. “I was wrong the other day. I shouldn’t have gotten jealous of you just because you could work with Brettley every day.”
Alice’s words caused an uproar. Did that mean that Alice openly admitted the contents in the video were true?
Bethan frowned. She knew Alice would not come just to apologize.
“Brettley hasn’t been back home for the past few nights. He said that he was working late, but every time I came to the office in the middle of the night, I couldn’t find him anywhere.”
Alice sniffled, and tears started to fall. “I know that he must’ve gone to look for you to discuss the latest jewelry design sketches. Although I was like you, we’re not from a jewelry designing background.
Even though I’ve learned design for a very long time, I don’t have your achievements. I know I ‘m stupid, too stupid that Brettley wouldn’t let me work with you in the design department.”
Alice knelt on the floor and looked at Bethan with her watery eyes. “Please forgive a wife’s worries. I don’t have much sense of security.”
Alice only used a few sentences to find a perfect excuse to justify her actions for pushing Bethan.
Yes, she did push Bethan on purpose to hurt her, but she had her reasons.
Who asked Bethan to be with Brettley all the time?
Who asked Brettley to go look for Bethan in the middle of the night?
The crowd who were on looking sighed.
“We can’t blame Mrs. Morrison for this. What normal woman wouldn’t mind her husband looking for another woman in the middle of the night?”
“Yes, a single woman should pay attention to this. Even if they were busy working, they shouldn’t take up a husband’s time.”
“Perhaps they weren’t only busy working.”
The crowd started discussing among themselves.
“Stop finding excuses for me.”
Upon hearing the comments, Alice had a painful expression. “What I did was still wrong. It’s my fault that this happened; Ms. Bethan is innocent. I love my husband too much, and that was why I suspected them. They’re merely employers and staff. This is all my fault. Even if Ms. Bethan posted the video online which made people on the internet cyber-bully me, I deserved it…”
Then, Alice lifted her head and looked at Bethan. “Ms. Bethan, can you forgive me? I promise I won’t come in between you and Brettley’s work. No matter how late Brettley goes to look for you, I won’t make any noise. I won’t try to hurt you anymore. I only beg for your forgiveness.”
On the surface, Alice’s words might seem to be clearing off the relationship between Bethan and Brettley.
In truth, she was just putting herself as the victim.
Society would take pity on the weak, especially housewives like her who have been coldly abandoned by their husbands.
She wanted to blackmail Bethan emotionally and forced Bethan to forgive her. At that thought, Bethan’s gaze turned cold.
Bethan lowered her gaze and looked at Alice on the floor.
“What great acting you have, Mrs. Morrison.”
Alice lifted her head and looked at Bethan with tears in her eyes. “You’re still not willing to forgive me, is it?
“She just pushed you! It was only a painting! “
“Her husband even paid for the painting, and it’s not your money. Why can’t you forgive her?”
“Also, which ordinary woman would work with another husband so late into the night? Who are you lying to?”
“The legitimate wife was merely teaching the mistress a lesson. Now that the wife is begging for forgiveness, the mistress refused to forgive her?
What kind of world is this?”
“Before Mrs. Morrison came back to the country, didn’t they announce their relationship? I’m sure they hooked up before then.”
Alice turned to look at the crowd who was bad- mouthing Brettley with teary eyes. “Don’t you dare talk nonsense. My husband treats me well. I know clearly how much he loves me. He just got carried away for a moment.”
Standing in the same spot, Bethan looked at the scene playing out and laughed.
Alice was not there to apologize so early in the morning; she came to cause more trouble.
“Mrs. Morrison, if you like acting so much, you can stay and continue acting. I won’t play along.”
Bethan was about to pass through the crowd and leave, but everyone blocked her way.
“The mistress has a guilty conscience! She’s trying to run away! “
“Don’t let her leave! “
“She can leave, but only if she forgives Mrs. Morrison! “
The crowd who did not understand the situation said unreasonable things to Bethan.
She could not push past through the crowd.
Something was not right. These people must have been…placed here by Alice.
Subconsciously, Bethan turned to look at Alice.
