Bethan continued squirming while glaring at him.
Brettley was forced to quicken his steps. In the end, he opened the car door and threw Bethan onto the backseat.
“Mommy! “
Once she got in the car, Nellie immediately buried herself in Bethan’s arms. “Are you alright?”
Neil, on the other hand, was carefully placing the groceries in Bethan’s hands properly. Then, he checked her for any injuries.
“That woman just now was Alice’s friend, “
Brettley said coldly while sitting at the driver’s seat. He started the car.
Bethan shuddered a little.
Before Brettley came, that woman was the one who led the attack and bullied her. The scratches on her face were made by that woman too.
Brettley said that she was Alice’s friend, but that woman had a fluent Banyan City accent. She was local.
What about Alice? Alice was not from Banyan City. She has never even stepped foot in Banyan City before.
The chances of them being friends were extremely slim. It was more like a client and the employed.
Bethan dug her fingernails deep into her palm.
First, she slandered Bethan for ruining Theo’s artwork, then she used the power of the internet, releasing the surveillance footage herself. Then, she knelt in front of her at the office, putting on an act as if the wife was begging the mistress for forgiveness.
She used Joseph and Natasha to force her to attend the news conference to admit that she was the mistress, admitting that she broke other people’s families up. Finally, she also hired a local person to bully and attack her in the supermarket.
Alice was trying to get rid of her in extreme ways.
At that thought, Bethan took her phone out and secretly sent Theo a text.
[I’ll attend the press conference tomorrow.]
Previously, she felt that there was no need for her to attend, but at that moment…
She wanted Alice to have a teste of the insults and humiliation she received at the supermarket that night, and pay her back a hundred times over!
Soon, Theo replied, [I have already started preparing. Do you know someone called Nigel?]
Bethan paused for a while.
[Why?]
[After coming out from your office this afternoon, an online friend called Nigel added me. He wanted to discuss the press conference tomorrow. The information her got is much more detailed than mine. I’m guessing he is your friend?]
Bethan’s heart was inexplicably warm reading the text. She took a deep breath and replied to Theo, [Not friend. Family.]
Theo replied with a huge smiley face. (Great. Since he is a trustworthy person, I ‘ll work with him on the things to clear your name tomorrow. Are you at home now?]
Bethan pursed her lips. She lifted her eyes and had a glance at Brettley in the driver’s seat.
(I’ll contact you later.]
After sending the message, the car has reached Swan Lake Residences.
“Mommy! Let’s get down! “
Nellie tugged on Bethan’s sleeves. She subconsciously glanced at the contact person on her phone.
“Who’s Theo Allen?”
Nellie’s voice was crisp.
Upon hearing that name, Brettley, who was about to get down, suddenly paused.
After a while, he coldly looked at Bethan and sneered cruelly, “No wonder you have been on your phone ever since you got in the car.”
Bethan chuckled lightly and kept her phone. “I was just saying hello.”
Her words made Brettley’s eyes darkened.
“Is Theo Allen Mommy’s new boyfriend?”
Nellie rushed over and grabbed Bethan’s hand. She pulled her toward the apartment. “Is he handsome? Do you like him?”
Looking at Bethan and Nellie’s back, Brettley pursed his lips tight. His gaze was deep and cold.
“Mr. Morrison.”
Neil, behind him, passed the groceries and stuffed them into Brettley’s hands. Then, he intentionally laughed. “What a joyous occasion. Mr. Morrison, you have Ms. Alice the pretty lady while my Mommy has the good-looking Theo! It’s great that the both of you are happily in love! “
Brettley’s face turned blue.
He swept Neil a cold glance and walked away with the groceries and a displeased face.
Leaning against the car, Neil smiled and looked at Brettley’s back.
‘Scumbag, you’re suffering, aren’t you?’ Neil thought.
“Mommy, where is the first aid kit?”
Once Bethan brought Nellie in, she started rummaging around the house for a first aid kit.
“I’m not injured.”
Bethan looked at Nellie helplessly. She took off her torn jacket and went to the washroom to wash her face. She smiled. “I’ll prepare lots of good food for you tonight.”
Nellie pursed her lips and continued searching through the living room.
In the end, she found a first aid kit at the corner behind the sofa.
“Mommy! “
Nellie placed the first aid kit on the coffee table and insisted on pulling Bethan over to apply medication on her.
Brettley and Neil entered and immediately saw Nellie seriously applying medication on Bethan.
Her long eyelashes blinked like a butterfly flapping its wings.
Brettley looked at Nellie, then turned to look at Bethan, who was sitting opposite of Nellie.
At that moment, he was surprised to see that Nellie’s eyelashes looked a lot like Bethan’s.
“Ouch! “
Suddenly, Nellie accidentally poked a little harder on Bethan’s injuries. Bethan could not help but gasp in pain.
“Mommy, I didn’t mean to do it…”
Nellie bit her lips and carefully apologized. She did not dare to continue.
“Let me do it.”
Brettley sighed and walked over. He took over the cotton swab from Nellie. “Bethan bought some fruits for you two. Go wash them with Neil and have some.”
“Oh.”
Nellie pursed her lips before turning around and taking Neil’s hand. “Neil, let’s go to the kitchen! “
Neil furrowed his brows and swept Nellie a glance. He said in hushed tones, “When have you become so stupid that you don’t even know how to dress a wound? Did you do it on purpose?”
Nellie blushed. She immediately looked away. “We’ll go have some fruits! “
Neil rolled his eyes at her. Then, he looked at the two adults in the living room. He sighed helplessly.
When would Nellie understand that Brettley, that scumbag, was not worthy for their Mommy?
“Before clearing up your name, don’t go to places like the supermarket these few days.”
In the living room, Brettley said with a darkened expression while dressing Bethan’s injuries. “Your looks are too attention-grabbing.”
