Bethan was silent for a moment.
After a while, she lifted her gaze and smiled at him. “
In that case, Mr. Morrison, are you willing to send men to help me gather some news on Irene’s current situation?”
“She’s fine.”
He finally waited for her to ask this question. Brettley picked up the documents he placed by the side and threw them on Bethan’s desk.
“Lucas has already reached the hospital half an hour ago. They might say that Irene is still undergoing resuscitation, but it had been long completed. She is currently staying in the hospital. Although they say she’s undergoing resuscitation, they are just using this to create momentum. Their purpose is to get more people to know that you were the one that hurt her that way.”
Bethan furrowed her brows. She picked up the documents and flipped through them.
As expected.
Irene’s patient’s record clearly stated that she fell from the third-story balcony, about six meters high, onto a lawn.
There were no serious injuries. There were bone fractures on her left foot. Also, other bruises.
After seeing Irene’s patient’s records, Bethan chuckled, “I thought it would be quite serious.”
Jumping off the building, being resuscitated, leaving a note… such dramatic ways. Bethan thought that Irene was truly planning to die to bring her down.
“She only wants you to pay the price, it’s not that she really wants to die. “
“It’s strange, though.”
Bethan put the documents down. “Yesterday, when Irene left the office, this incident was resolved. Arianna said that yesterday she heard Irene telling the people that she brought along to protest that this matter has ended. In less than a day, why is she trying to create trouble again Brettley laughed, “Because people from a media company approached Irene yesterday, so this leaving a note, jumping off a building incident is just a hype. It’s because your identity is too special. A famous jewelry designer having rumors with the Morrison Group president. Now, you’re also the great artist, Theo Allen’s girlfriend. On top of that…”
Brettley narrowed his eyes. “Yesterday, the police caught the people that beat up Irene. All of them said that you were the one that ordered them to do so.”
Bethan narrowed her eyes.
“There’s something else that is quite interesting too.”
Brettley looked at Bethan and smiled. “The media company that is helping Irene make news… is from Sea City. The shareholders behind this company are very mysterious. I could not find out anything after many rounds of investigating, but one thing I’m sure of is that this company has an inextricable link with the Walter family.”
Bethan shuddered.
She raised her gaze, smiled, and looked at Brettley. “So, you still think I’m Hailey Walter, is that it, Mr. Morrison?”
“Since the beginning, not once have I thought that you are Hailey Walter.”
Brettley looked at Bethan closely. “But so many incidents that had to do with you had something to do with Hailey too. My guess is that you already know who the real Hailey is and where she is.
“Tell me.”
Bethan was instantly in a daze.
Never would she have expected that Brettley would immediately guess that she knew who Hailey was when he was still suspecting her of being Hailey the day before.
This man’s acuity… was way beyond her imagination.
She took a deep breath and kept herself calm. She raised her gaze and looked at him. “I don’t know what you’re talking about, Mr. Morrison. How would I know about the news on Hailey?”
Brettley laughed.
He leaned back on the sofa and elegantly crossed his legs. His gaze was calm. “She has been constantly targeting you. It started when we were in Sea City. For such a long time, every time she targeted you, she wanted your life. According to your character, it would be impossible for you to just sit and do nothing. However, from the information I have recently, you have never done anything to Hailey, who has been hiding somewhere in the dark. So, the only possibility is that you have long known the existence of Hailey. You also know all her current secrets. That is why you could be so calm.”
Then, Brettley gracefully raised his eyebrows. “Am I right?”
Bethan narrowed her eyes. She clenched her fists under the table.
Brettley’s gaze was too sharp and penetrating as if he could see through all her secrets.
Bethan did not dare to meet his gaze. She was afraid that even meeting his gaze for a split second, he would be able to see the panic in her eyes.
After a while, Bethan took a deep breath. She lifted her head. “Since you have already investigated and analyzed this so thoroughly, can’t you find out any clues pertaining to Hailey?”
Brettley laughed, “Of course, there are things that I can’t find out. Throughout this period, only Alice seemed to have a problem with you, but Alice… “
Bethan pursed her lips. When she heard Brettley mentioning Alice, she could no longer hold back. She said, “Mr. Morrison, have you ever suspected that Alice…”
Before Bethan could finish her sentence, Brettley raised his head up suddenly. He glared at Bethan closely with his deep gaze. “Bethan, I understand that you are always being targeted by Alice, that is why you have a misunderstanding with her, but Alice is my wife. I know her the most. She is not, and could not be Hailey.”
Brettley harrumphed coldly and directly stood up. “It looks like you’re not willing to tell me.”
Bethan laughed, “Since I have already said it, but you’re not willing to believe me, then why bother asking me, Mr. Morrison?”
Brettley fiercely narrowed his eyes upon Bethan’s words. The atmosphere in the office dropped a few degrees.
After a long while, Brettley harrumphed coldly, “Since you’re willing to keep Hailey’s secret, then moving onward, I won’t care about what she does to you! “
Then, Brettley directly stood up, turned, and left with a cold expression.
Sitting on the chair, Bethan looked at Brettley leaving in resolution. She slowly smiled bitterly.
She was not willing to say that Alice was Hailey because she was afraid that Alice might drag her down together, immediately pointing out that she is Bethan Peterson.
Bethan did not want Brettley to know her identity. This time she came back to look for Brettley just so she could get pregnant with his child and she could return to cure Nigel.
Bethan was not planning to get back together with Brettley. She was not even willing to let any of her children be taken by Brettley.
However, at that moment, she realized that she had been overthinking.
Brettley’s attitude a moment ago has explained everything.
Even if she placed all evidence of how Alice was Hailey in front of Brettley, he would still not believe it.
After all, although he was a scumbag, he still liked Alice at that moment.
He liked her so much that he could ignore Alice’s mistakes over and over again, protecting her time after time.
He liked her so much that Bethan felt that even if he knew that Alice was Hailey, he might not even break up with her.
After all, Brettley could kill Bethan Peterson back then, yet he could love and protect Alice, who was assuming the identity of Bethan Peterson.
What Brettley liked should be the person, not her previous identity.
Brettley was a philanderer and liked all sorts of people, but the unfortunate thing was, whether it was back then or the present, Bethan has never gotten a single ounce of gentleness from him.
Perhaps, it was fated…
At that thought, Bethan was a little annoyed.
She went into the washroom to wash her face, forcing herself to calm down.
“She already forced a person to jump off a building, yet she’s still as usual.”
“How powerful. Would a designer have such huge powers?” “Tsk, tsk, isn’t she just relying on Mr. Morrison and her boyfriend…”
Coming out from the washroom, Bethan heard a few female staff gossiping in the pantry outside the washroom.
According to her previous character, when she encountered such incidents, she would pretend that she did not hear it and leave.
Even if it was serious, she would remember which department they were from so she could pay back in the future.
However, at that moment, she was not in a great mood.
Bethan took a deep breath and walked toward the pantry in her high heels. She crossed her arms around her chest and looked at those women.
“She’s just relying on her face, nothing great about that…”
“I heard that the face is not an original one, she had gone through plastic surgery…”
“Even the cosmetic surgery was paid for by Mr. Morrison. She used to be extremely ugly…”
The women were gossiping without realizing it.
After a long while, someone finally noticed Bethan by the entrance.
“Stop talking.”
