When he realized that Alice was completely different from six years ago, his feelings for Bethan got deeper, so much so that while intoxicated, he recklessly…
Brettley’s silence only made the hatred in Alice’s eyes thickened. She bit her lips.
“Brettley, have you forgotten? Before I came back, what did you say to the public? You said that as long as I am back, you were willing to do anything. You said that no matter when I came back, I would always be the most important person to you.”
Alice said while lowering her head and wiping away her tears. “Brettley, have you forgotten what you said?”
Looking at her tears falling, a hint of guilt rose in Brettley’s heart.
However, he felt even more annoyed.
He did not know where the problem was, why would Alice and he become this way six years later?
“What nonsense is this! “Looking at Alice crying, Granny Morrison fiercely stomped her walking stick. “
Brettley, Alice is your wife. How could you treat her this way?”
Then, Granny Morrison snatched the phone from Brettley. “Let me tell you, Bethan deserved to be scolded today! She had always been plotting against you. It was one thing last time, now that Alice is back, she should have stopped! If she doesn’t know how to stop, then no matter how ugly other people’s words are, she deserved them! You’re not allowed to defend her. Do you hear me?”
“Granny, don’t get so worked up, “
Alice said with reddened eyes. She wiped her tears while holding onto Granny Morrison’s arm. “You’re not young anymore. Don’t spoil your health. After the press conference, I’ll release a statement on behalf of Brettley saying that Bethan was the one…”
“Yes! “
Granny Morrison harrumphed coldly. “We also need to fire her! No matter how capable she is, we cannot let this type of woman stay at Morrison Group! Furthermore, “
Granny Morrison pursed her lips. “It’s just jewelry design. Alice, did you say that you’re also learning? If Bethan could be the Design Director, so can you! “
“Granny…”
Listening to the conversation of the two women, Brettley frowned hard.
He looked at his phone in Granny Morrison’s hand. “
Return the phone to me.”
Granny Morrison glared at him. She gripped the phone tighter. “I’ll return it after the press conference, in case you want to try to help that woman! “
Brettley furrowed his brows. There were people everywhere in the mall. He did not want to have a conflict with an elderly woman in public.
Alice looked at Brettley’s green face. She bit her lips and held his hand. “Brettley, don’t worry.”
Then, she looked at the huge screen. “The press conference should be over soon, right?”
Brettley coldly retreated his hand. He looked at and saw Bethan’s pale face on the huge screen. He felt as if someone was squeezing his heart tightly. It was insufferable.
Bethan should not have to go through this. This matter was an unwarranted disaster for Bethan from the beginning.
After a long while, Brettley took a deep breath and immediately stood up.
Alice was stunned. She immediately realized what Brettley was trying to do. She grabbed onto him. “
Brettley, you cannot go! If you go, you will never be able to clear your relationship with her! “
Granny Morrison, by the side, also furrowed her brows. She kept hitting her walking stick on the ground. “
What are you doing? Sit down! After the press conference, release a statement that you and Alice are still a loving couple. What are you planning to do if you go there now?”
Brettley slowly pulled his hand back from Alice.
His glares turned cold. He looked at Alice’s face frigidly. “Loving couple? You and I?”
He laughed mockingly, “Yesterday, I said I needed time to think whether we should remain as husband and wife or ex-spouses.”
“Now, I have my answer.”
Brettley walked over to the front of Granny Morrison and took his phone back. “No matter how deeply I love someone, I would not let her distort the truth nor let her harm another innocent woman.”
Then, he swept a cold glance at Alice. “Moreover, I don’t seem to love her that much anymore now.”
At that, Brettley stormed off.
Alice gritted her teeth. She wanted to chase after him, but Granny Morrison threw the walking stick on the floor. “He is rebelling! What a rebellious child! “
Alice turned around and returned to Granny Morrison. “
Granny, don’t be angry…”
Coming out from the mall, Brettley immediately drove to the City Sports Center.
When he arrived, the press conference was still going on.
The reporters were still bombarding Bethan with humiliating questions.
“Everyone.”
Suddenly, a child’s voice came from the loudspeaker.
The reporters who were still asking questions after questions stopped. Why was there a child’s voice at a press conference?
“I have heard all of your questions.”
Across the ocean, in a patient’s ward, the skies were already dark there. Nigel was sitting in front of the computer with his pale face, but his tone was firm. “
Before Bethan answers those questions, I would like everyone to listen to a recording.”
Then, he found the recording on his computer and he pressed play.
“I know that they are innocent, but I have to get rid of Bethan.
“Mr. Walter, post the video that Theo gave me. Change it to Bethan’s IP address. Let it seem like it was her that posted the video.
“Use the international spammers’ syndicate too. Create a surge of rumors, pointing fingers at Bethan.
“Mr. Walter, go and help Natasha set up the press conference. Buy a few reporters to get them to attack Bethan.
“This time, I ‘ll make sure that she won’t be able to survive in Banyan City.
“Only when I get rid of her can I have the time and energy to deal with those two brats.”
The recording silenced the entire venue. It was pin-drop silence.
“I guess, some might still be unable to recognize whose voice is this. Let us hear it one more time.”
Theo gently chuckled and played the viral video of Alice kneeling in front of Bethan.
“Please forgive me. The incident that day, I was wrong.”
It was exactly the same. They did not even need to have a voice expert to match the voices.
The crowd was silent for a very long time.
In the end, a reporter boldly asked, “So… everything was deliberately set up by Mrs. Morrison?”
It was silent once again.
On the main stage, Yvonne felt the muscles on her face stiffened.
How?
How did someone get hold of the conversation between Alice and her father?
After a while, she took a deep breath. “I think that the voice is made up. After all…”
Yvonne furrowed her brows and said rather sheepishly, “After all, Mrs. Morrison has no reason to be jealous of Bethan. She and Mr. Morrison are such a loving couple…”
“Is that so?”
Upon Yvonne’s words, a cold voice came from the direction of the venue’s entrance.
A tall man slowly walked in among the gasps of the crowd.
