It was all about Irene and Yvonne that day. After the press conference ended that morning, Irene immediately packed up her belongings and returned to her hometown. She said that the big city life did not suit her.
Yvonne and the management company behind her were involved in multiple crimes. They were prosecuted.
Over at Sea City, the remaining men of the Walter family were almost all brought down.
Among all the piles of news, there was a small headline.
(Brettley Morrison’s Father-In-Law Joseph Peterson Sentenced to Five Years in Prison for Assault.]
Bethan tapped the news and looked at the photo. Joseph in the photo has aged much more and looked much more haggard, yet Bethan had no emotions in her heart.
This middle -aged man was once her father whom she respected the most.
However, at that moment, seeing him being sentenced to jail, she has no whatsoever reaction anymore.
It was as if he was just a stranger.
In fact, she has already become strangers with the Peterson family. There had been too many disappointments.
At the end of the article, was an interview with Natasha and Alice.
In the video, Natasha was crying while Alice was much calmer compared to her.
It was only that…
At the end of the video, the reporters asked Alice a juicy question, “Mrs. Morrison. You and your husband already have two cute children. Have you ever thought of having another one?”
Alice smiled gently. “Yes, we have thought about it, but Brettley has been too busy recently. When he is less busy, we will consider it.”
Later on, the reporters asked a few more questions regarding Brettley. Alice calmly and gently replied to them all. Her eyes were filled with tenderness and affection.
Bethan’s heart was long numb to this, but it still ached a little.
Irene has gone back to her hometown. Yvonne has gone to prison.
Alice, the main culprit, still could safely express her love in front of the camera.
Bethan suddenly understood why Brettley got Jude to help her and Theo.
Perhaps, the person Brettley most wanted to help and protect…
Was Alice.
After the incident with Irene, Bethan had no longer seen Brettley.
As the project was coming to an end, she got busier. Bethan no longer had the time to think of him.
Finally, the project was completed on time.
Bethan’s designs were sold out once they went on the market.
“As expected from Moon the great designer, you’re better than the rest! “
Sitting on the sofa, Anne was eating fruits while listening to the news. She turned to look at Bethan who was packing up.
“How many days of leave did Brettley give you?”
Bethan continued packing. “This morning, Lucas sent me a message. Half a month.”
Anne furrowed her brows. “You still haven’t seen Brettley?”
Upon mentioning that, Bethan could not help but furrow her brows and sigh, “Yes.”
After Irene’s press conference, Brettley had been deliberately avoiding her.
No matter whether Bethan went to his office or in a meeting, she would not see him anywhere.
She has tried to wait for him in his office or downstairs but to no avail.
At that thought, a deep sense of helplessness overwhelmed Bethan.
Even if they had been apart for more than six years, Brettley was still the same as back then.
As long as he wanted or if he was willing to do it, even if Bethan used all her might, she would not be able to see him at all.
Bethan even asked Lucas how on earth did she offend Brettley. Lucas stuttered and could not give an answer either.
However, thank goodness that Nigel’s sickness was turning for the better throughout that time.
The doctor said that if nothing unexpected were to happen to Nigel, he could live for a few more years, so the bone marrow transplant could wait longer.
However…
Ast the thought of how challenging it was to see Brettley, Bethan’s head hurt uncontrollably.
Initially, she thought that as long as she did a great job and successfully completed this project for him. Brettley would see her and their relationship would get better, but Bethan was wrong.
Even if the project was a success and Bethan became the envy of everyone in the company, she still did not see Brettley, so much so that Brettley even got Lucas to thank her and award her on his behalf.
Bethan thought long and hard. She could not recall where she had offended Brettley.
If it was because of Irene’s incident and Bethan did not tell him where Hailey was, it was quite impossible for Brettley to be angry about this for that long, right?
“Do Neil and Nellie know that you are going to see them in summer camp?”
Anne’s questions pulled Bethan back to reality. Bethan shook her head. “I plan to give them a surprise.”
Anne was munching on an apple. “John said that you’re a famous designer in demand right now. To celebrate the completion of your project, he and I want to celebrate with you tonight and have a meal together.”
Bethan placed the last of her clothes into her luggage and swiftly zipped it up. “You two go ahead. I have already asked Theo out.”
Anne paused for a while. “You and Theo… don’t tell me that you have really gotten together? I see he cares for you too. What are you thinking about?”
Bethan raised her eyebrows. “Before I find a cure for Nigel, I won’t think about all these.”
Furthermore, if she were to consider a partner, the first person she should consider should be Malcolm Quinn.
“I’m going out tonight to discuss our breakup.”
Back then, Bethan was forced to admit her relationship with Theo because of a misunderstanding.
At that moment, it had been three months since that misunderstanding.
It was about time to announce a breakup.
Anne pursed her lips. “How heartless.”
Bethan and Theo agreed to meet at Bamboo Palace.
When Bethan reached, Theo was waiting for her at the entrance. He was in a white suit that day, looking handsome, artistic, and elegant.
Theo was standing by the entrance with a huge bouquet of flaming-red roses. He had a joyful smile on his face.
Looking at Theo from a distance, he looked like a teenager in love.
Across the road, once Bethan got down from the taxi, she immediately saw Theo hugging the bouquet of roses and smiling from ear to ear.
The vein on Bethan’s forehead popped.
The reason she asked Theo out that night was to end things properly. In her pocket, there was a pair of rings that she made herself to wish Theo and his future partner all the happiness.
However, at that moment, looking at the bouquet of roses in Theo’s arms, she had mixed feelings.
“Watch out! “
Just when Bethan was looking at Theo, wondering how to continue the date that night, a male’s voice suddenly rang out from behind her.
Bethan furrowed her brows and instinctively turned back to look.
In front of her eyes was a silvery flash of the blade of a knife. Just when the knife was less than lo centimeters away from her head, Bethan’s heart instinctively beat aggressively. She subconsciously took a step back.
Thud!
