Scott was that he did not want Bethan’s sacrifice to go to waste. She had already fulfilled her promise, so why was she still drinking?
“It’s okay. Mr. Scott said that if anything happens, he’ll take responsibility.”
Bethan smirked and downed the second glass.
Mr. Scott leered at Bethan suggestively, his hand rubbing his chin. “I’m very curious as to what a charming lady like you would do when she’s drunk. “
As she became tipsy, she stood up and slurred, “
Well, this is what a charming drunk lady does– “
She staggered over to Alice and raised her hand.
The next instant, Bethan’s palm collided against Alice’s face, producing a loud smack. The entire Apart from a drunken Bethan, everyone else in the room held their breath in fear of what would happen next.
Alice blinked a few times, seemingly trying to make sense of what had happened. Then, after a moment, she leaped out of her seat with a murderous expression on her face. “Are you crazy, Bethan?”
She raised her hand and was about to give Bethan a slap when Bethan seized her wrist.
Bethan sneered at Alice, “Mrs. Morrison, this is what I’m like when I get drunk. Weren’t you the one who insisted for me to drink?”
Mr. Scott’s eyes widened in shock. “You…”
Bethan smirked and cast him a cold glance. “Mr. Scott, you promised me that no matter what I did, you’d be responsible for my actions, ” she said in a simpering tone.
The restaurant fell in instant silence.
Mr. Scott’s eyes widened. He did not know what to say at that moment.
He did give his word that he, no matter what, would be responsible for Bethan’s actions if she got drunk.
However, at that moment…
The person Bethan hit was Brettley Morrison’s wife!
Who was Brettley Morrison? He was the king of Banyan City!
Although he was in Sea City at that moment and he did not seem that baleful, that did not mean he could be bullied!
On one hand, Mr. Scott was frantic. He stuttered and could not form his sentences.
On the other side, Alice buried herself in Brettley’s arms with teary eyes. “Brettley, it hurts! “
Brettley furrowed his brows. He lowered his head and carefully pried Alice’s hand away from her face.
A red handprint was visibly imprinted on her petite face.
A hint of rage flashed across Brettley’s eyes. Although he was somewhat dissatisfied that Alice kept urging Bethan to drink…
Alice was his wife, no matter what!
He gently hugged Alice in his arms while he shot Lucas a glance coldly. “Go get some medication here.”
Lucas, who was scared half to death by the side, came to his senses. He immediately left.
When Lucas left, Brettley lifted his eyes and looked at Bethan coldly. “I might indulge you, but you need to know your limits as well! No matter how terrible Alice is, she’s still my wife! You still have to treat her with respect! “
As the alcohol overwhelmed her, Bethan looked at Brettley calmly with a blurry sight. “You didn’t say a peep when Mrs. Morrison forced me to drink.”
Bethan sneered coldly, “I’ve already said that I’d do things I shouldn’t do when I’m drunk.”
She glanced at Mr. Scott condescendingly then at Alice in Brettley’s arms. “None of you cared what I said, or about the things that I shouldn’t have done. Why is everyone pointing fingers at me now that I’m drunk and doing those things? Why do all of you get to say what’s right or wrong?”
Then, Bethan picked up the wine glass once more drunkenly and downed it. “Didn’t you want me to drink? I’ll drink! “
Bethan downed one glass after the other under Brettley’s angry gaze.
Under the influence of alcohol, she has lost all her sensibility. In the end, Bethan sneered and walked over to Brettley. She looked at Alice, who was in his arms, coldly. She instinctively raised her hands once more…
She had long wanted to do that!
This woman assumed her identity and tortured her kids. She even doubted her constantly with the worst possible malice!
“Bethan! “
Brettley grabbed her hand tightly. He looked at Bethan coldly and swung her hand aside. “Enough! Being drunk doesn’t give you the excuse to do that! Even if you’re drunk, I’ll make sure you pay when you turn sober!”
“Pay?” sneered Bethan as she repeated the word. After a while, she laughed and pointed at Alice. “
When she tortured Nellie and Neil, did she ever pay for that? How about when she made Neil and Nellie’s stomachs uncomfortable, or when she got her friends to kidnap Neil and Nellie. Did she pay for it then? “Six-year-old children have been tortured by her in all ways, yet she hasn’t paid for her crimes. Just because I slapped her once, I have to pay up?”
“Brettley Morrison, how heartless are you?”
Brettley and Alice’s faces simultaneously turned green at Bethan’s words.
He glared at Bethan and said nothing.
Bethan smiled as she picked up the wine glass once more. With the help of the alcohol, she sneered.
“Six years ago, you hurt Bethan Peterson so much that she almost lost her life, but now you’re putting up this act of loving Alice. Who are you pretending for?”
Bethan managed to utterly aggravate Brettley. “What nonsense are you talking about?”
Alice gritted her teeth. She immediately got out of Brettley’s arms while he was in a rage.
She could not let Bethan continue talking ! Bethan had to stop talking!
She was afraid that the next sentence Bethan said would be confessing to Brettley that she was the real Bethan Peterson.
That would be a real catastrophe then!
At that thought, Alice gritted her teeth, lifted her hand, and slapped Bethan brutally on the face.
Her slap was vicious and heavy.
The drunken Bethan lost her balance. She hit the chair behind her and fell to the ground with the chair.
Crash!
It hurt. Not only her face but also her body.
Her abdomen and arm hit the corner of the chair. It was so painful that tears fell. She felt that her face must have turned swollen.
She could taste iron in her mouth.
“Ms. Bethan…”
Mr. Scott was absolutely scared half to death by the scene before him. He could barely form his sentences.
Bethan struggled to get up. Before she could say another word, Alice raised her hand once more.
“Alice.”
Brettley furrowed his brows and held her wrist with his uninjured left hand. “She slapped you once, and you’ve returned the favor. That’s enough.”
Also, everyone could see that Alice’s slap was much more violent. She slapped with murderous intent!
Alice bit her lips and looked at Brettley aggrievedly. “
Brettley, she’d slap me again if you don’t stop her. “
She wiped away her tears. “Is she your wife, or am I? Why are you protecting her?”
Her words made Brettley’s hand, which was holding onto hers, trembled a little.
Using this opportunity while Brettley was stunned, Alice immediately retracted her hand, aimed at Bethan’s face, and raised it once again.
Slam!
The room door was rammed open.
Theo immediately rushed in with an ominous disposition as he cradled Bethan, whose lips bled, in his arms.
