On the other end of the call, Alice took a deep breath and hung up in delight.
Natasha was holding a press conference for Bethan that day. It would be shown live on the huge screen at the city center at nine that morning.
By then, she would bring Granny Morrison and Brettley to watch the live broadcast.
She wanted Brettley to apologize on the spot to her in front of Granny Morrison!
9 am.
The City Sports Center was filled with people.
When Bethan and Theo arrived, the reporters at the venue had already set up their cameras and equipment facing the main stage.
Upon seeing her, Natasha immediately smiled and welcomed her. “Ms. Bethan, you came after all.”
Then, she took out a recording device from her pocket. “I was still thinking if you did not come, I’ll release the recording.”
Then, she passed the recording device to Bethan. “
Since you’re here, I have no use for the recording device anymore. I’ll return this to you.”
Bethan looked at her flatly. She accepted the recording device and threw it into the trash can. Then, she turned to look at the time.
“It’s almost time. Let’s start.”
Natasha’s expression was somewhat ugly. She cleared her throat before turning to the host. “We can start.”
“Okay.”
The host gently laughed.
Upon hearing the woman’s crisp voice, Bethan furrowed her brows. The voice sounded a little familiar to her.
She subconsciously turned around to meet the woman’s gaze.
It was the woman who led the attack on her at the supermarket the night before.
Upon seeing Bethan looking at her, the woman smiled. “Hello, Yvonne Walter. We met yesterday.”
Bethan frowned hard.
This woman openly blocked Brettley and her the night before. At that moment, she boldly assumed the role of the host of the press conference Natasha held.
All she forgot to do was to stick a label saying, (I was hired by Alice Peterson].
It was absurd.
Seeing how Bethan ignored her, Yvonne did not feel awkward at all. She took a deep breath, stood up with the microphone, and looked at the venue full of reporters.
“Hello everyone, welcome to Ms. Bethan’s press conference.”
On the huge screen at the City Center Mall, a woman’s gentle voice rang through. “Ms. Bethan would like to clarify regarding the viral video on the internet recently, about the rumors of Ms. Alice Peterson, the wife of Brettley Morrison.”
Granny Morrison who was shopping accurately caught wind of the name Brettley Morrison being mentioned. She immediately furrowed her brows and looked.
The moment she looked up, she saw the face which she despised the most!
“Brettley! “
Granny Morrison frowned hard. “What is going on?”
Brettley had one hand in his pocket. He looked at the host on the huge screen coolly.
“Granny, don’t get angry.”
Alice pursed her lips and immediately helped Granny Morrison, supporting her. “
Perhaps Bethan might feel aggrieved due to the incidents recently, so she decided to hold this press conference.”
Then, she carefully looked at Brettley. “Brettley, do you know about this? I went to apologize to Bethan already yesterday. Why would she still want to hold a press conference… “
Alice’s eyes were slightly reddened. “Although I have already knelt and apologized to her, I know she and I still have some misunderstandings. I initially wanted to apologize to her again today… “
Her pitiful looks instantly aggravated Granny Morrison.
She sat on the bench by the side and angrily stomped her walking stick. “You’ve already knelt and asked for forgiveness. What else does she want? Are you wrong? If she is truly a world-famous figure like Moon, why not continue her career in Europa? Why does she have to condescend herself to stay in Banyan City? Her deliberately staying in the Morrison Group is just to seduce Brettley, isn’t it!”
Then, Granny Morrison looked at Brettley coldly. “
Brettley, she is already bullying your wife. Are you still planning to protect her?”
Brettley furrowed his brows. He subconsciously swept a glance at Alice.
Alice’s eyes remained lowered. She said nothing. Her hands were wiping her tears, looking aggrieved.
In front of him, Granny Morrison harrumphed coldly while sitting on the bend. She coldly glared at the huge screen. “I want to see what this b*tch says during the press conference. See how much more she plans to slander the Morrison family! “
Standing in between the two women, Brettley flatly smiled.
So that was the case.
No wonder Natasha insisted Bethan on having the press conference that day. No wonder Alice intentionally took Granny out shopping.
Alice had planned everything.
She had guessed that Bethan would not clear her name during the press conference, so she purposely looked for Granny Morrison.
Having Bethan holding the press conference was just a cover. Using that, Alice forced him to draw a clear line between him and Bethan in front of Granny Morrison. That was her real intention.
How thoughtful of Alice.
Previously, when he saw Bethan Peterson crying, he would be heartbroken.
At that moment, seeing Alice crying, he only wanted to sneer.
Brettley turned around and sat next to Granny Morrison. “Great, I also want to see how this unfolds.”
Then, Brettley raised his brow and looked at Alice. He said in a cold tone, “Sit.”
Alice bit her lips and cautiously sat next to Brettley.
“Brettley.”
She wiped her tears. “I never thought for this matter to blow up. I wanted to apologize to Bethan today…”
Brettley leaned back on the bench. He said flatly, “The host is your friend right?”
Alice shuddered a little. She looked at Yvonne on the huge screen. “We… have some acquaintances, but this should be her occupation…”
Then, Alice secretly swore in her heart. That idiot Mr. Walter ! How could he get Yvonne to be the host? That was equivalent to letting Brettley know that she had a hand in the matter!
“You two are not just acquaintances.”
Brettley turned around and swept Alice a cold glance. “She led an attack last night and bullied Bethan in the supermarket. She scratched Bethan’s face and tore her clothes.”
Alice trembled violently. “I… I didn’t know.”
She truly did not know. After arranging everything for that day the evening before, she got Mr. Walter to check up on Brettley and the kids.
Once she made sure Brettley and the kids were at his office, she went to bed.
She did not know what Yvonne did to Bethan at the supermarket.
However…
Alice turned to look at Brettley. “Brettley, how did you know about that? Last night you were…”
Was he not at the office working late?
Brettley looked at her. His gaze darkened. “If you can get someone to spy on me, why can’t I get someone to put on an act?”
Seeing how her face turned pale. Brettley smiled. “The kids and I were not at the office last night.”
