How could this have happened…
She turned around and looked at Anne in a daze. “
This…”
Anne excitedly grabbed Bethan’s hand. “This is good news, right? Amazing news! “
Bethan was excited, too.
She read the article once more. A huge boulder on her shoulders was lifted at last.
Since Mo admitted that he was the one that stole Bethan’s design, the plagiarism incident did not exist anymore.
Also, Bethan realized something.
Mo went to great lengths to write in detail about how he stole Bethan’s drafts. Throughout the entire process, he said that he was the only one who did it.
That meant that Mo’s apology letter not only cleared Bethan of plagiarism, but he also hid the fact that Joseph stole confidential information.
Bethan put down the newspaper and clasped her hand together excitedly.
Who would be so skillful to be able to persuade Mo Sam from across the ocean?
To be able to get a 17- year-old genius to admit that he stole other people’s designs itself was challenging enough, let alone Mo Sam, who was a proud and arrogant young man.
After calming down, Anne asked gently, “Do you think it was Brettley?”
Bethan shook her head. “I don’t know.”
“Mommy.”
At that moment, Neil yawned and came walking out of the bedroom.
Looking at Bethan, he smiled and winked at her. “I’ve long told you to trust in Nigel’s abilities.”
Anne’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Nigel did this?!”
How could a six-year-old solve such a huge issue?
“It’s nothing much, “
At that moment, Nigel’s proud voice came from the necklace in Neil’s hands. “Mo has his weakness, too. As long as I can get it, it’s not hard to get him to admit his mistakes.”
Anne’s mouth gaped wide open.
Bethan rubbed the middle of her brows. She sighed heavily. “I never would’ve thought that things would be resolved so easily.”
She thought she would need a day or two to come up with a plan. She never expected that everything would change overnight.
Nigel pursed his lips. “I’ve told you to have a good sleep and when you wake up, everything will be solved. I wasn’t lying, right?”
Bethan chuckled. After a while, she exhaled. “I ‘m just curious–how did you make Mo Sam listen to you? “
“Nothing much. “
Nigel laughed gently. “I hacked into his computer and took away everything on his hard disk, including his diaries of wetting the bed when he was young and how he failed to pursue the girl that he has a crush on. Also…
“Also, evidence of other designers’ drafts.”
Bethan paused for a while before slowly saying, “So, his identity as a talented designer…”
“Mmh,”
Nigel responded, “it’s all fake. He’s only a person that loves jewelry design a lot, but he only likes them. He doesn’t have any talent for it. His previous designs were all bought from other designers.”
Bethan rubbed the middle of her brows.
She never would have expected this.
“However, “
Nigel, on the other end of the line, was silent for a while before slowly saying, “When I threatened Mo last night, I only got him to admit that he stole your drafts, Mommy. I said nothing about clearing Grandpa’s name for stealing the drafts.
“According to Mo’s character, he’s not the type of person that would actively help clear Grandpa’s name.”
Bethan shuddered violently. “Are you trying to say…”
“I don’t think I was the only person that looked for Mo Sam last night. After I chatted with Mo, someone else must’ve used a different way to force Mo to bear all the crimes.”
Nigel said his deduction confidently, “I think that person must be Brettley Morrison.”
Bethan gasped a little.
Brettley…
Why would he get Mo Sam to help Joseph Peterson out? Was it because of Alice, or because of her? She could not understand.
After hanging up the call with Nigel, Bethan was feeling even more complicated.
After hesitating for a long while, she picked up her handphone and walked to the balcony, dialing Brettley’s number.
The phone call rang for a long time before it was picked up. However, it was not Brettley that answered the call but Lucas.
“Bethan.”
Lucas sounded a little tired. “We’re in the airport now. The flight is about to take off.”
Bethan furrowed her brows. “Where are you going? ” “Not ‘where’.”
Lucas sighed. “After sending you back to Swan Lake Residences last night, we went straight to the airport and flew to where Mo Sam was. We spent the night searching for Mo, forcing him to take responsibility for all the crimes. Mr. Morrison didn’t sleep at all the entire night. He had just fallen asleep.”
Bethan’s breath stopped.
She pursed her lips. “Thank you so much for your hard work.”
“Don’t mention it.”
Lucas’ hand that held the phone trembled a little. “
There is something I have to tell you, though. Last night, the person that was dealing with your hacker friend isn’t Mo, but Mr. Morrison himself.”
Bethan’s hand that held her phone stiffened instantly. “Mr. Morrison, he…”
“He knows some hacking skills, too.”
On the other end of the line, Lucas scratched his head rather confusedly. “Technically, with his busy schedule, Mr. Morrison wouldn’t have the time to cultivate a hobby, but he’s a pretty ski11fu1 hacker. He said that he studied it many years ago when he was bored.”
Lucas then added, albeit emotionally, “Mr. Morrison truly is the smartest man I know. Hacking is such a challenging skill, yet he could learn it when he was bored! How amazing! “
Bethan’s hands shuddered a little.
If she remembered correctly, when she just married Brettley back then, she remembered she once told Brettley that she thought men who knew how to hack were very cool.
She even naively asked him whether he had any hacking skills.
However, Brettley swept her a cold glance.
“Hackers are only smarter programmers. Why don’t you like programmers, then?”
From then onward, Bethan no longer mentioned how she liked hackers to Brettley.
Giving birth to Nigel, she eventually found out that he had a deep interest in computer skills. The teacher that taught him said that Nigel was extremely talented in the field.
Bethan initially thought that God took pity on her, seeing how tough the first half of her life was, so He gave her a son that possessed a skill that she liked.
Everything fell onto her the moment Lucas explained everything.
It turns out that Nigel’s talent was inherited from Brettley.
It was not that Brettley did not have any hacking skills. On the contrary, a skill that he learned when he was bored was enough to compete with Nigel, someone who she had put a lot of effort into training.
However, back when she said that she liked hackers and asked him whether he knew how to hack, he dismissed her coldly.
