The person that noticed Bethan tugged on the others’ sleeves and said in a low voice.
The women subconsciously turned to look at the entrance. Their fire has suddenly been doused. “Why don’t you continue?”
Bethan crossed her arms and leaned gracefully by the entrance. She smiled. “What creative storytelling. Go on. I like to listen to them.”
Upon her words, the few women gritted their teeth. “
Director Bethan, we were just talking nonsense, don’t mind us. What if I do mind?”
Bethan smiled and entered.
Bang!
She slammed the door of the pantry shut.
“Ah!”
“It burns! “
“Help! Bethan is murdering! “
Bethan swiftly put the cup down accompanied by the screams of the women.
She swept a glance at the women who were burned red by hot water.
“If I don’t flare up, it doesn’t mean that you could keep defaming me. This is just a simple lesson. If there is next time, the things being splashed on you might not be hot water, but acid.”
Then, Bethan turned and left.
When she touched the doorknob, she suddenly thought of something.
She turned around and glared coldly. “Next time, even if you want to spread rumors, don’t put me together with a person like Brettley Morrison. He is not worthy of it.”
Then, Bethan opened the door and stormed off.
The women in the pantry looked at each other. They thought that they misheard!
Bethan… actually said that Brettley was not worthy of being rumored with her?
“Sir.”
In the president’s office on the top floor, Lucas placed an old-looking handphone that had been placed in a sealed bag on the desk.
“We sent people to search the lake twice before finding this phone. Because it has been soaked in the water for too long, the original internal parts of the phone have been damaged and cannot be repaired. “
Brettley narrowed his eyes and looked at the phone on his desk. “Got it.”
Lucas remained on the same spot. He looked at Brettley and wanted to say something else.
“Is there anything else?”
” . There is one more thing.”
Lucas took a deep breath and took his phone out. “
Someone sent this video in our staff chat group just now. Have a look at it.”
Brettley furrowed his brows and accepted the phone.
In the video, Bethan splashed water onto a group of women in the pantry. The women’s screams kept ringing, which made Brettley furrow his brows in annoyance.
Just when he was about to turn off the video, Bethan stopped.
Her gaze and tone in the video were ice-cold.
“Next time, even if you want to spread rumors, don’t put me together with a person like Brettley Morrison. He is not worthy of it.”
He looked at Bethan in the video and fiercely narrowed his eyes.
He was not worthy of her?
Brettley gripped the phone until his fingers were white.
He played the video once more. Hearing Bethan’s voice, he narrowed his eyes.
He was not worthy?
This was the first time in his life that he has heard someone saying that he was not worthy!
The atmosphere in the office was extremely cold, filled with Brettley’s endless wrath.
“Sir…”
Lucas said cautiously, “the staff that had been splashed with water has brought it up to their managers. They said that if Bethan doesn’t compensate them and apologize, they would report it to the police.”
Brettley coldly raised his eyebrows. He returned the phone to Lucas. “Let them make the report. She should learn her lesson.”
It was because he had been too lenient with her, that was why Bethan would be so bold to do such things. She first hid about Hailey, then she tried to stir up problems between him and Alice. She also told others about how he was not worthy to be mentioned together with her.
If Brettley did not let Bethan learn her lesson, she would be too brazen!
“But, sir, “
Lucas said in a low voice, “the evidence is solid. If they were to report it to the police, Bethan would be arrested and be judged for it. This incident would not be settled in a day. Don’t forget, because of Bethan’s injury previously, also the Allen family incident, the project this time has been delayed by a lot. If she was locked up in the police station for another few days, our project would be done.”
Brettley raised his eyebrows. He swept Lucas a glance. “Do you think I care?”
Feeling his rage, Lucas said in a suppressed tone. “I know that you don’t care, but this project is the focus of the company…
“If you want to punish Bethan, there are a lot of other ways. There is no need to…”
Lucas’ suppressed tone inexplicably annoyed Brettley.
Brettley coldly swept Lucas a glance. “Go and handle it, then.”
Lucas was relieved. He turned around and left.
“Also. “
Brettley returned to his chair. He raised his hand and rubbed the middle of his brows. “The staff in our company have been gossiping a lot about other people’s private lives recently. Get each of the department’s heads to deal with it. I do not want to hear any more incidents of conflict arising due to rumors.”
Lucas straightened his back. “Yes.”
When he left the office, Lucas let out a long sigh.
Although on the surface, Brettley wanted to teach Bethan a lesson, secretly, he was still protecting Bethan.
After all, in the entire office at that moment, the person whose private life has been most heavily discussed is Bethan.
“Director, way to go.”
In the design department, Samson took his phone and played the video for Bethan while looking at her praisingly.
“Didn’t you say that adults would not slam the table and fight? So adults should just directly splash water?”
Bethan coldly swept him a glance. She snatched over his phone and directly locked it into her drawer.
“Go and work.”
Samson pursed his lips. “Can’t I praise you?”
Bethan glanced at him coldly. “Do you want your phone to stay here till tomorrow too?”
Samson was helpless. He could only turn around, return to his seat, and start sketching.
“Bethan, come out! “
“Bethan! “
At that moment, sounds of angry women rang out from outside the door.
Bethan helplessly rubbed the middle of her brows. She knew that this matter, like Irene’s incident, would not end just like that.
