Even a starved camel was bigger than a horse.
Nigel was just a child, with him alone, it could not be easy to defeat Old Mr. Walter.
“Of course, I won’t be working alone.”
On the other end of the phone, the little guy laughed faintly, “I’m not the only one collecting evidence of the Walter family’s criminal activities.”
“Who else is working with you?”
“Brettley Morrison,”
Nigel sighed, “he must be more resourceful than I am. All I can do is track down the information on the internet, but he relies on his network of informants. His men worked together with men from the Jones Gang. They’re currently cooperating with everyone who is in contact with and who has bad blood with the Walter family, to try and gather more evidence of their criminal activities.”
Bethan’s whole body stiffened immediately.
She was reminded of Brettley’s cold and indifferent expression that appeared in front of her eyes the moment before she fainted.
Why… why would he do something like this?
After all, the Walter family and the Morrison family were close family friends. Brettley’s father, Adrian Morrison had been close friends with Old Mr. Walter for many years.
Besides, Gwen… seemed to have no connection to Brettley at all.
He did not have to send his father’s old friend into jail for Gwen.
“I don’t think he’s doing this for Gwen.”
As if he could predict Bethan’s confusion, on the other end of the phone, Nigel remained quiet for a moment. “Mommy, have you ever considered it? That Brettley Morrison might be doing this for you.”
Bethan was silent for a moment, then she laughed.
“Nigel, how could he be doing this for me? To him, I’m just small fry, completely negligible.”
On the other end of the phone, Nigel remained quiet for a short while.
He wanted to tell her…
Through the CCTV recording that he hacked into last night, he saw Brettley’s expression that was full of anxiety and heartache as he carried Bethan.
That afternoon, he had been staring at the scene on his computer for the whole afternoon.
In the afternoon, he contacted Malcolm, discussed with Malcolm and decided to stop the attack on the Morrison Group.
From the screenshots that he captured, in every shot, Brettley’s anxiety and guilt could not possibly be an act.
Because there was no way he could know his son was watching them from afar.
He did not even know he had another son, Nigel.
So his eyes, and his act of rushing out of the abandoned factory with Bethan in his arms, they were all genuine.
Sometimes, even Nigel would wonder… what exactly was going through Brettley Morrison’s mind?
Six years ago, he was the one who harmed Mommy, forcing her into the situation she was in today.
Now, six years later, he treated Alice, the imposter who was posing as Mommy like she was his treasure, even indulging the evil deeds that she did.
To Mommy herself, even though he was cold and strictly professional on the surface.
But his feelings and attitude toward Mommy had long since surpassed that of a President to his employee.
With this thought, Nigel sucked in a deep breath and said solemnly, “Then, Mommy, if Brettley likes you for who you are now, are you willing to be with… “
Before he could finish his sentence, there was a knock on Bethan’s door.
She frowned, bid goodbye to Nigel in a low voice and ended the call.
After organizing her emotions, she stood up and opened the room door.
Outside, stood the weary Brettley.
His tall and sturdy figure acted like a wall blocking the entrance, Bethan took a step back instinctively.
“It looks like you’ve been awake for a while.”
He swept his gaze across her face faintly. “You don’t want me to go in?”
Bethan frowned, then leaned to the side and allowed him in.
He sat down on the sofa elegantly, his gaze calm and emotionless. “Do you feel better now?”
Bethan closed the room door, glanced at him coldly and said, “Mr. Morrison, are you here to me and make me faint again?”
“You’re so weak.”
He snorted coldly, then threw a document in front of her.
Bethan frowned and picked up the document. It was a purchase agreement.
Brettley was willing to buy the Larson Group owned by Andy Larson, with a price that WHS 30% higher than market value?
She frowned, then raised her eyes and looked at him. “What is the meaning of this?”
“Gwen Larson is Andy Larson’s only daughter. Now that she’s in this current condition, Andy Larson is no longer interested in running his company. That’s why I acquired the Larson Group. On one hand, to help him recover his funds, and on the other hand, this way, the company that he has spent years building won’t be under-valued because of a temporary family emergency.”
With that, he lifted the teapot from the coffee table and poured himself a cup of tea, speaking elegantly a s he drank. “I’ve already entrusted Gwen to Luke. In the future, regardless of whether it’s the Walter family, or anyone else in Sea City, no one can harm Gwen like this again.
“This is considered a chance for Luke to redeem himself. People like him are the most trustworthy, you don’t have to worry.”
Bethan bit her lip.
She held the document tightly in her hands. “You… why are you helping Gwen and the Larson family?”
It stood to reason that he had no contact with them at all.
Acquiring the Larson Group for a price that WHS 30% higher than market value was definitely not a good move to the Morrison Group.
The Larson Group did not hold that much potential. If it did, Andy Larson would not blindly look up to Old Mr. Walter all these years and follow his every order.
Brettley raised his eyes emotionlessly. “If I didn’t do this, would you leave Sea City with me with peace of mind?”
Bethan’s heart squeezed into a tight ball of muscle at his words.
She remembered what Nigel said to her from the other end of the phone.
Could it be that Brettley had been doing all these… for her?
No, that was impossible.
She bit her lip harshly, that was impossible.
He must have read her mind, he glanced at her faintly again. “If you think this isn’t a good enough reason, the other reason is.”
He set the cup down lightly on the coffee table. “I need an old Group in Sea City, one with experience and a reliable network, as groundwork for my expansion into Sea City. The Walter family is obviously useful, but everyone knows they were brought down by Luke and I, so I ‘m too lazy to clean up their mess.”
With that, the man’s deep, endless gaze looked at Bethan faintly, “My ambition is to take down the entire Sea City.”
Bethan let out a deep breath in relief. There was a hint of disbelief.
She knew it.
It was impossible that Brettley… did all of this for her.
If he wanted to conquer Sea City’s business sector, then it made sense that he went around collecting evidence on Old Mr. Walter’s criminal activity.
He needed to expand his business in Sea City. As long as Old Mr. Walter was still in prison, it would be difficult for the Walter Group to rise again. That’s why he needed to collect evidence, to make sure Old Mr. Walter remained in prison.
With this thought in mind, she raised her eyes and glanced at Brettley. “Now I know why they say no businessman is honest.”
Brettley raised his lips and laughed softly, “I ‘ll take this as a compliment.”
With that, the man stood up. “
