Jason paused a little.
There seemed to be…
Every time Bethan looked at him, she would not dare meet his gaze. She would secretly try to avoid him.
He initially thought that the scar on his face intimidated her.
At that moment, when he thought of it… “You realized it, right?”
Jason nodded.
He lifted his head and looked seriously at Alice. “So, Mrs. Morrison, is there anything you need me to do? “
“Of course.”
Alice smiled and took out a check from her bag and directly placed it in front of Jason. “We won’t expose her identity for the time being. Just pretend that Mr. Morrison did hire you back then. Stay by her side and get a grip on her. In the future, we’ll slowly reveal that she’s Hailey Walter.”
Alice narrowed her eyes.
This time, she pushed all the things that Cynthal did back then on Hailey.
As long as she could pin Hailey’s identity on Bethan, she did not believe that Brettley would still protect her!
Bethan received a call from Theo during lunch.
He first apologized to Bethan on Celeste’s behalf before asking her out for dinner that night.
“I have other arrangements tonight.”
Bethan ate while looking at her memo on her phone.
That night, she had to pick Bonnie out from the hospital together with Jason.
At the thought of Jason, she could help but furrowed her brows. This man still gave her the chills at the thought of him.
Regardless, she did not want to give up the chance to get to know Jason.
After all…
Bethan narrowed her eyes.
Jason, of course, knew how Brettley wanted her dead back then. He was the weapon that Brettley used against her.
If she was about to make the incident back then known to the public, to let everyone see clearly how despicable Brettley was, Jason was an indispensable link!
“What time do you end tonight, then? I’ll go pick you up?”
Theo’s voice sounded graciously considerate on the other end of the line. “Are you having a business gathering?”
“No, I have made arrangements to pick up a friend from the hospital.”
Bethan took a deep breath. “You don’t have to pick me up. You’re busy enough.”
On the other end of the call, Theo was silent for a while.
After a long moment, he sighed. “Bethan, I want to do something for you. To compensate… My mother has done such terrible things to you, and I want to help her apologize to you.”
Bethan paused for a while. She inexplicably became soft-hearted.
Theo was indeed a gentle and kind-hearted man.
Even if she was displeased with Celeste, hearing how gentle Theo’s tone was, she could not bear to continue reprimanding him.
However, she also understood that if she did not let Theo do something, Theo would probably feel uncomfortable.
Thus, Bethan furrowed her brows. “If you want to do something, you can help me investigate a few people.”
Theo was instantly spirited in their call. “Who do you want me to investigate?”
“Do you remember Irene Cook from this morning? She got beaten up by a few men last night. Those men pretended that they were under my orders. Help me check where those men come from, along with the IP address and address of the person they contacted most recently. Hand them to the police afterward.”
Bethan suddenly felt that this problem would be too challenging for Theo.
“As for the IP address, you can contact Nigel.”
“Okay! “
Theo happily accepted this mission. “Don’t worry. Leave it to me and Nigel! He’ll be in charge of the internet, and I’ll be in charge of the physical aspects. We’ll find this out for you! “
Bethan nodded. She exchanged a few more words with Theo before hanging up.
Since Alice wanted to pin the identity of Hailey Walter on her, Bethan would play along and destroy Alice in the process.
She did not believe that once she sent Mr. Walter into prison, just like Dennis Walter, Brettley would still suspect her of being Hailey Walter!
After lunch, Bethan returned to the design department from the company’s cafeteria.
On the way back, people kept commenting on her. Each sentence was worse than the previous one.
Bethan pretended not to notice.
“You just take their ridicule and defamations of you just like that?”
Samson chased after Bethan and went into the elevator together with her.
“Before I came, I thought you were someone who’d fight for the truth. I never thought that you wouldn’t fight back, even after such grievances.”
Bethan slightly raised her eyebrows and smiled. “Who said that I don’t fight back after being aggrieved?”
Samson harrumphed coldly. “From what I see, you’ve always been cowardly.”
“Does that mean that when someone gossips about you, you have to jump up and slam the table, scolding them back harshly? That only then are you not a coward?”
Bethan yawned. “If you want to go according to what you say, perhaps I am a coward.”
Samson raised his brows. “Am I wrong?”
Bethan rolled her eyes at him. She crossed her arms around her chest. “Child.”
Bethan looked in front, her gaze flat. “The people that were bad-mouthing me just now, do you know which department they come from or what kind of position they hold?”
Samson furrowed his brows and shook his head.
“Not only do I know, but I even jotted it down, “
Bethan said flatly, “We’re all working in the same company, and we see each other all the time. If they can’t kick me out of the Morrison Group, they’ll pay for it sooner or later. Why should I stoop down to their level and go against them like a maniac?”
Samson was completely stunned.
At that moment, the door of the elevator opened and Bethan strode into the design department.
Samson was quiet for a long while before he narrowed his eyes, smiling.
Bethan was an interesting woman. His choice of traveling a thousand miles to come to Banyan City to work as her assistant was not in vain after all.
The entire afternoon, Bethan finally could get her work back on track.
Samson and Zayne had an exceptionally good art background, especially Samson. It looked like he had some background in jewelry designing as well.
The creative requests that Bethan came up with, he could quickly understand and sketch out accurately.
Even Arianna could not help but praise him, “
Samson, you’re a young prodigy! “
Bethan paused a little.
At the mention of that, Bethan suddenly recalled a talented 17- year-old teenager who once took her designs.
He was called Mo Sam or something.
The person in front of her was called Samson Matthews. What similar names.
