Nurse grumbled a little more before telling Anne the room number.
“Thank you! “
Once she got the room number, Anne smiled and turned around. She wanted to head to the elevator when she immediately noticed Bethan by the entrance.
Anne ran over in surprise. “Why did you come?”
Bethan looked at the exact same fruit basket Anna had.
“You…”
“I thought you were too busy, so I came over on your behalf.”
She said while walking to the elevator with Bethan. “I never thought that your mother has been hospitalized for almost two days, Alice has never visited her once.”
Then, she sighed, “Do you really think that Alice is your younger sister? If she is truly your biological younger sister, she’s quite heartless, right?”
Bethan closed her eyes. “I ‘m not sure about it now.”
Previously, she felt that Alice looked almost exactly like her back then. If it was not human-engineered, genetics from the same set of parents would only be the possibility.
However, at that moment…
She truly did not want to admit that Alice was her younger sister.
Anna sighed. She caught up with Bethan about the incident that morning when the elevator reached Natasha’s floor.
They located Natasha’s room according to the room number the nurse gave her.
Unfortunately, Natasha was taking a nap.
Seeing that someone was visiting Natasha, the nurse smiled, accepted the fruit baskets, and closed the door. The nurse said to Anne and Bethan in a suppressed tone.
“She is fine. Don’t worry.”
“She didn’t sleep well last night. After seeing the news this morning, she felt much better. She’s catching up on sleep now.”
Bethan glanced a look at Natasha through the crack of the door.
Natasha had a head of white hair. She was sleeping peacefully.
Bethan sighed. She gave the nurse some money as a token of appreciation before leaving the hospital with Anne.
However, Bethan did not expect that once she exited the elevator with Anne, they bumped into Alice, who was coming to visit Natasha.
The three of them bumped into each other at the entrance. The moment Anne saw Alice, she could not help but clench her fists.
Bethan stopped her in time. “Natasha is asleep.”
She lowered her head to look at the time and furrowed her brows.
“Care to join me for a cup of coffee?”
Alice squinted her eyes and sneered, “Aren’t you afraid that I might poison you?”
“As long as you’re not afraid I might do it first.”
Alice sneered, “Let’s go then.”
Then, Alice went first and exited the hospital.
Behind her, Anne frowned hard and said in a suppressed tone, “Why do you want to get coffee with her? How could you still drink after looking at that face?”
“Why can’t I?”
Bethan chuckled, “Don’t forget, I have used that face for twenty over years too.”
Anne paused for a while before pursing her lips. She said nothing.
Soon, the three of them were at the corner of a cafe. The server brought them their coffee.
Alice accepted her cup of coffee and stirred it gently with a spoon. “Ms. Bethan, why are you buying me coffee? Are you trying to share your feelings of failure in going up against me, or are you trying to express your dissatisfaction with me?”
Bethan squinted her eyes. “As expected, you were the one that tricked Courtney.”
“Who asked her to be so stupid, “
Alice said nonchalantly, “she became friends with me only so that she could climb the social ladder, wanting to get into the upper class of Banyan City. She befriended me with a purpose. If I don’t do the same, isn’t it unfair?”
Then, Alice picked the cup of coffee and took a sip. “
Why? You slapped me in the office saying that it was on behalf of Joseph and Natasha, now are you trying to seek justice for Courtney?”
Looking at her arrogant expression, Bethan calmly smiled. “l’ve said it, Courtney deserved the consequences of her actions.”
Bethan smiled. “Likewise, Joseph and Natasha deserved it too. “
She raised her eyebrows. “Do you really think that slap in the office was because of Joseph and Natasha?”
Alice’s face suddenly turned pale. “So what was it because of?”
Bethan gracefully took a sip of coffee. “It’s only because I wanted to slap you.”
Alice’s eyes widened. “You! “
“What? You could slap me without any rhyme or reason when I was in Sea City. I could slap you openly on behalf of your parents this time, why should I not take the chance?”
Alice gritted her teeth. Slam!
She violently slammed the cup of coffee on the table. “Bethan, don’t get too cocky! “
“It’s you who are being too much of a bully, Mrs. Morrison. If it were not for Mo Sam’s sudden statement, you would be the cocky one now.”
Bethan crossed her arms around her chest.
“Of course, I’ve invited you for coffee not only to mock you, Mrs. Morrison.”
Bethan took a deep breath and looked at Alice. “I ‘m not sure if you know that Cynthal is not my biological younger sister. I still have a biological younger sister somewhere out there.”
Alice raised her eyebrows. “So?”
Bethan smiled. “You look exactly like me back then.”
After being silent for a while, Alice sneered, “Bethan, don’t tell me you’re suspecting that I’m your biological sister? How funny. You just slapped me and mocked me. Now, you’re trying to reconcile with me? If I was your biological younger sister, would you be lovey-dovey with me, and let me have your husband and children?”
Bethan snickered, “You’re overthinking this. All animals have respect for their parents.”
Bethan looked at Alice, her gaze suddenly turned cold. “
I’m asking you these only to make sure whether you are just malicious or you’re not even an animal.”
Bang!
Alice angrily slammed the table. She pointed at Bethan’s nose. “Don’t think that you’ve won just because I couldn’t do anything to you this time! Don’t you forget that I am still Brettley’s wife! “
Bethan leaned back with her arms crossed around her chest. “Mrs. Morrison, you won’t be able to achieve big things with such an attitude. All I did was just say a few harsh words. It’s nothing compared to you trying to ruin my career. I have not even paid you back what you did to me, yet you are already this agitated?”
Alice glared at her angrily. She was so furious she was trembling.
In the end, Alice harrumphed coldly, “Thank goodness I’m not your younger sister, I would be disgusted to have the same blood running in my veins! “
Bethan smiled. “Likewise.”
Alice gritted her teeth hard. She wanted to say something when someone recognized her from far away.
“That hysterical woman is… Mrs. Morrison, right?”
“It looks like it. She is Brettley Morrison’s wife. Her photo has always been posted to use as a search notice.”
“How could she be so angry? She has no grace at all There was a lot of chatter in the cafe. Alice’s expressions instantly turned ugly.
In the end, she glared at Bethan fiercely, then left in a disgraceful manner.
