Alice was still on her knees, but there was a hint of malice in her smile. “Bethan, forgive me, please.”
Bethan narrowed her eyes. Obviously, if she did not forgive Alice, she would not be able to walk out from the crowd.
However, if she were to forgive Alice, she was forced to admit she was the mistress who came in between Brettley and Alice.
As she stood in the same spot, Bethan was silent for a long time. In the end, she looked in the direction of the entrance and smiled.
“Are you thinking that I’d be at your mercy since Brettley isn’t here?”
Alice blinked her watery eyes. “Ms. Bethan, I only hope you’ll forgive me.”
Bethan sneered. She immediately picked up the phone and dialed. “I’m being trapped by a group of people in the lobby.”
Upon her words, the man at the other end of the call immediately responded, “Roger that! “
Two minutes later, Zach and Yuri brought bodyguards from outside and quickly rushed over.
Under the leadership of the tall and burly Zach and Yuri, they quickly broke the group apart and opened u p a path.
“Ms. Bethan.”
Zach bowed at Bethan respectfully. “I ‘m sorry we came late.”
“No, it’s fine.”
Bethan lowered her gaze and looked at Alice, who still knelt on the ground and looked shocked. “Listen carefully.
“First, I didn’t leak the video out. I also didn’t get the people on the internet to bully you. You should know clearly what happened.
“Second, even if you apologized, I won’t forgive you. Stop your emotional blackmails.
“Lastly,”
Bethan sneered, “you said that Brettley hasn’t been back home for many nights. What does that have to do with me? Don’t you dare pin it on me and try to get me to admit it!”
Then, Bethan left under the protection of Zach and Yuri. They went up the elevator coolly.
Everyone in the lobby turned quiet.
They were looking at Alice on the floor and dared say nothing.
Two men helped Alice up to her feet. “Why did you not stop them?” she fumed.
The men said rather guiltily, “We could still take the woman, but those bodyguards…”
Zach and Yuri were tall and burly. The men were no match for them.
“Bunch of useless trash!”
Alice coldly scolded just when Zach and Yuri led the group of bodyguards walking past her.
She stopped them. “As the bodyguards of the Morrison group, why did you listen to a mere designer, but not me, the president’s wife?”
Zach and Yuri looked at each other and smiled. “
We’ll only listen to our boss.”
“Who’s your boss? Brettley Morrison?” “Neil Peterson.”
Central Hospital.
Nellie sat on a bench and swung her legs as she sucked on a lollipop.
She looked through the glass window with her huge black eyes. Brettley was struggling to pin a young child down to let the doctor take blood.
“Uncle Lucas, is Daddy in a bad mood today?”
It was the weekend. Nellie and Neil finally did not need to go to kindergarten. They planned to sleep in, but Brettley rushed into their rooms early in the morning and dragged them to the hospital for a body checkup.
That went especially for Neil.
He went through more tests than she did.
Lucas did not know how to explain to Nellie. He could only wipe off his sweat. “Uh…perhaps President Morrison thinks that it’s time for both of you to have a body checkup…”
In truth, Lucas also did not know what Brettley was up to.
When he arrived at Morrison Group that morning, he saw Alice gathering with a few other men by the entrance, talking among themselves.
Lucas thought that Alice was checking up on him. After all, Brettley was not home nor was he working late the night before, so Lucas anxiously called Brettley and told him that Alice was looking for him at his office. He asked Brettley whether he should fetch him to the office.
When he picked Brettley up, Brettley insisted on being brought back home. He was not in a rush to head to the office.
They then arrived at the hospital, starting this long process of body checkup.
“Why does Neil have more tests than me?”
Nellie sucked on her lollipop as she watched the father-and-son pair almost in a brawl inside.
“Neil hates body checkups the most. I’m a little better. Why is Daddy trying to make things difficult for him?”
Lucas wiped the sweat off his forehead once again. “Uh…”
He was just as clueless.
Brettley got Neil to do all tests for all sicknesses, including leukemia and even cancer.
Neil was always active. How could Brettley think he would be sick?
“I’m not doing it!”
In the sample room, when he heard that the doctor still had another test to do, Neil was infuriated.
“Brettley Morrison, what are you trying to do? I’m still in good health. Why are you doing so many tests on me?”
Even his brother, Nigel never did that many tests. Was Brettley crazy? He could have slept in during the weekend, yet he just had to drag him for these tests. Two whole hours, yet he was not done at all!
Brettley looked at him coldly. “You, in good health? “
“Of course! “
Neil helplessly rolled his eyes at him. “I rarely have had the flu since I was young!”
Brettley chuckled. He took his phone out and showed Neil a photo of a boy in a striped hospital gown lying on the bed.
“Care to explain?”
Neil took the phone over and had a look. The moment he saw the photo, he finally understood what the hell Brettley was up to. He saw Nigel’s photo.
Nigel and Neil were identical twins. They looked the same, so Brettley mistook him for Nigel.
Neil took a deep breath. “Yes, it is me. So?”
Brettley sneered. “Didn’t you say that you rarely have the flu?”
“Because I rarely have the flu, that is why when I have it, it’s always severe and I need to be admitted into the hospital.”
He pouted. “Why do you have a picture of me when I’m sick? It’s hideous.”
Neil immediately deleted the photo.
Although he looked exactly like Nigel, there were subtle differences if one were to look closely.
Brettley was a meticulous person, and Neil feared he might notice them.
After deleting the photo, he returned the phone to Brettley. “What other tests are there? Let me do them, but you can’t disturb us anymore for the rest of the day.”
Brettley furrowed his brows. “Why are you suddenly so cooperative?’
Neil put up great resistance ever since he brought them to the hospital. Otherwise, Brettley would not have had to keep a close eye on them.
Who knew Neil would turn so obedient after looking at the photo?
