Irene, who was sitting opposite her, said timidly, “
But, the police have already confirmed that this incident had been planned by someone from Sea City. It had nothing to do with Bethan…”
Yvonne rolled her eyes at her. “Someone from Sea City? Could you find that person? Would a random person from Sea City create more news or Bethan, the talk of the town? Go and jump off a building tomorrow. Then, you say that you were being forced to jump off the building because of Bethan! “
Irene bit her lips. “M-Must… I jump off a building?
I’m scared…”
Yvonne sneered, “If you’re scared, how do you expect to live a high social status life? Are there such things as low risks that yield high rewards in life?”
Irene slowly clasped her hands together. She bit her lips and looked at Yvonne.
“But…”
“No more buts. Tomorrow, go find a lower level. Maybe the third floor. The second floor would be too obvious. Put some protective gear on you, then get a few witnesses to film you and you’re almost done.” “O-Okay…then.”
The video has finished playing on the huge screen. The entire venue was in an uproar.
Before the press conference that day, no one expected that the results of the press conference would be so sensational.
Everyone was so sure that after the press conference that day, it would be the downfall of Bethan the talented designer.
After all, no matter how capable one was, if they were vicious and heartless, they would not be able to go far.
However, no one expected that such a piece of sensational news was just a well-planned false accusation against Bethan.
The reporters were uninterested in the story anymore. They asked Bethan some simple questions before leaving in a hurry.
Theo got someone to send Old Mr. Gordon back to the hotel.
Although Irene did not really break her leg, she was still an injured patient, also, at that moment, she was utterly dejected. She knew that she could no longer survive in Banyan City anymore.
A person like Irene was like Celeste. They were just tools to be used by Alice and Yvonne.
Since the truth had been exposed, Irene no longer had any use and would be abandoned.
Bethan did not bother to make such a person stay. She got her staff to send Irene back to the hospital.
Not long after, it was only Bethan, Theo, and Theo’s assistant, who was holding onto Yvonne, left in the venue.
“Bethan, I have never seen this before. You have pretty great tactics too.”
Yvonne clearly saw Bethan only sitting in her office sketching every day, she did not look like she had a counter plan at all.
Who would have thought that…
Since the beginning of the press conference, she attacked one move after the other.
Not only did she expose Irene for her lies, but she also exposed Yvonne to the public!
“What? Only you guys get to secretly plot against me? I ‘m not allowed to secretly do things to protect myself?”
Since Irene jumped off the building and announced that she was going to hold a press conference, Bethan could already guess what they were going to do during the press conference.
Thus, she got Nigel and Theo’s help to come up with a plan.
It was also because she was busy coming up with a counter-attack, she completely forgot to defend herself against Jason. That was why she was almost attacked by Jason the night before.
At the thought of Jason, she could not help but think of Brettley from the night before.
Although he already threatened her that he would not care about her affairs anymore, even so, he should have paid attention to it right?
A moment ago, she deliberately got Irene to point Yvonne out in the live broadcast.
“Yvonne and Alice have such a good relationship with each other. Bethan believed that if Brettley had seen the live broadcast that day, he should have an answer in his heart, right?”
“Ms. Bethan, what should we do with this woman? “
Theo’s assistant, who had Yvonne apprehended, asked gently.
Bethan furrowed her brows and passed a USB stick to the assistant.
“She is one of the people controlling the media company that had closed down a moment ago. The police are still looking for her. Send her to the police station. Perhaps, there might even be a bounty reward.”
The assistant’s eyes instantly sparkled and quickly brought Yvonne along and left.
Once they left, there was only Theo and Bethan left in the huge venue.
Theo changed into a more comfortable position and leaned back on the chair in the front row. He exhaled a long breath.
“I guess this matter has been resolved successfully.
Thanks to the mysterious person on the internet.”
Bethan was scrolling through the news while sitting down opposite Theo. “What mysterious person?”
Theo paused for a while.
“I haven’t told you about this yet. The only reason why I could so successfully nab the men of the Walter family in Banyan City and so quickly find Mr. Walter’s base in Sea City is all thanks to the help of a mysterious person.
“He suddenly contacted me yesterday afternoon. He said that he knew I was targeting the Walter family. He also has a feud going on with them, so he was willing to help me get rid of their men.”
Then, Theo could not help but lean back on the chair and said emotionally, “I asked him out for dinner tonight, to properly thank him. The righteous always will get help from others. Who would have thought that the Walter family would have rivals in Banyan City too.”
Upon hearing Theo’s words, Bethan furrowed her brows hard.
Although the Walter family was arrogant, the reason they could do that in Sea City was because of the previous largest gang leader in Sea City, Liam Clark. He listens to the Walter family.
However, Banyan City was not under Liam’s territory, so the Walter family’s power did not reach Banyan City.
They do not even have any business there. How did they have any enemies?
If Bethan had to place it on someone, the only person in Banyan City who has a grudge with the Walter family would be…
Only Brettley, right?
At that thought, Bethan raised her head and looked at Theo. “You said that you asked this mysterious person out for dinner?”
Theo nodded. “Take me along.”
Bethan wanted to know, in Banyan City, other than Brettley, who would pay so much attention to the Walter family too.
Blue Bay Villa.
Alice smiled and placed a cup of hot tea on the coffee table. “Brettley, haven’t you been busy with work recently? Why did you come back at this hour?”
Brettley sat on the sofa, his expressions were ice-cold. He looked at Alice frigidly. “Since when did Yvonne come to Banyan City?”
Alice looked surprised.
“Yvonne is here in Banyan City? Hasn’t she always been in Sea City recuperating?”
Brettley sneered and played the video on his phone.
The video was a replay of the press conference a moment ago. The scene was right when Bethan tore off Yvonne’s mask and how panicked Yvonne looked.
Alice’s eyes widened. Her eyes were filled with shock.
“Why would Yvonne be here? Since when has she been in Banyan City, I don’t even know about this! “
Brettley leaned back and crossed his arms around his chest. He glared at Alice coldly. “Are you sure you still want to continue pretending in front of me?”
Alice’s body instantly stiffened.
She bit her lips, turned around, and sat next to Brettley. She held his arm. “Brettley, what are you talking about? I don’t understand.”
“You don’t understand?”
Brettley smiled. He directly took out an old-looking handphone from his pocket and slammed it in front of Alice.
“Now, do you understand?”
