Once the waiters had served all the dishes, Bonnie urged Bethan to start eating.
Bethan ate very little.
The entire meal, she was observing Jason.
After a long while, when they finished the meal, Bethan calmly placed her utensils down and swept Jason a glance.
“Your conversation with Brettley just now didn’t seem to go very well?”
It was fine when Bethan did not mention Brettley. However, upon the mention of Brettley, Jason was aggravated.
He thought that he was about to become Bonnie’s husband, he would be somewhat a public figure in Banyan City, so Brettley should at least treat him with respect.
However, Brettley did not.
Jason looked at Bethan and sneered, “Yes, we argued. Because I was not willing to help Brettley lie to you, so he got mad.”
Then, Jason harrumphed coldly. He initially wanted to say something else, but Bonnie involuntarily clutched her tummy. Her face turned pale. “My…my tummy hurts.”
Brettley furrowed his brows and looked at her impatiently. “Didn’t your period just end?”
Bonnie was in so much pain she was sweating profusely. “I don’t think this is about my period. My tummy just hurts.”
Bonnie bit her lips. “I want to go to the hospital.”
Jason rolled his eyes at her. “How pretentious. When we were in the countryside, didn’t we always have stomach pain? We’ll just bear through it. Why is there a need to go to the hospital?”
Bethan looked at how Bonnie was in so much pain she could not even speak. Then, she looked at Jason. She immediately took her phone out and dialed the emergency number.
The ambulance came quickly.
The doctor’s preliminary diagnosis was that Bonnie had acute gastroenteritis.
When Bonnie reached the hospital, she was in so much pain she passed out. Seeing Bonnie being pushed into the emergency room, Jason furrowed his brows a little irritably.
“Women are so troublesome.”
Bethan narrowed her eyes. “Are you like that with your wife too?”
“She won’t get sick so easily, “
Jason immediately replied to Bethan’s question, “Her health is much better than mine.”
Then, Jason suddenly noticed that something was not right. He furrowed his brows and turned to look at Bethan, with a guarded expression.
“How did you know about my wife…”
Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes. “Did Zach and Yuri those two traitors tell you?”
Bethan laughed a little, “Are they traitors? In my eyes, you, who cheat on other people, are the traitors.”
Jason smiled. “Cheat? You overestimate the relationship between Bonnie and me.”
Jason’s voice was ice cold. “I never liked Bonnie once.”
After all, Jason did not have any secrets to keep from Bethan anymore, so he would rather just put it all out there.
“I got together with Bonnie previously because I know that she is from the Craig family. Everyone in Banyan City knows that the richest are the Morrison family, then the Smiths, then the Craigs.”
Jason changed into a more comfortable position, leaning against the wall. He fished a cigarette out and was about to light it. He noticed Bethan pointing at the No Smoking sign. He hesitated for a while before putting his cigarette away.
“Back then, when Bonnie and I got together. I truly thought that she would reconcile with the Craig family. That way, I will get to be a son-in-law of the Craigs.”
Jason said coldly while putting his cigarette back in its box, “Who would have known that Bonnie was so unlikable. The Craigs would not reconcile with her. So, for money, I accepted a job.”
Then, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Bethan. “
Yours. Brettley was pretty generous. Five hundred thousand.
“I went abroad and met my wife there. We had a pretty happy life there, but money would always be depleted. We were just worrying about where to get money when all of the Craig family died. Bonnie became the only heir.”
He smiled extremely deviously. “How could we give up on such a chance?”
Bethan narrowed her eyes. She clenched her fists tightly by her sides.
In her pocket, the recording device was still secretly recording it all.
“Did your wife agree to you doing all this?” “Of course.”
Jason laughed out loud.
“The entire city knows about the marriage between Bonnie and I. Do you think I would be able to successfully marry Bonnie if my wife did not agree to it?”
Bethan was silent for a while. After a while, she laughed.
“You’re right. Birds of a feather flock together. Naturally, your wife doesn’t have many principles either.”
“Principles? What are those?”
Jason harrumphed coldly and crossed his arms around his chest. “You sure have principles, but are you living better than us right now?”
Jason’s words were like a knife violently stabbing Bethan’s heart.
Yes. She has her principles, but was she having a better time compared to anyone else?
Two out of her four children were dead. The living ones, one of them had a terminal illness, the other was autistic.
The people who hurt her were out there living freely.
A wave of hatred overwhelmed her. She wanted to rush forward and killJason!
She wanted to dissect Jason and Brettley’s chest. To see if they truly had a heart or not!
How could a person with a beating heart do such things!
Waves of emotions raged in Bethan’s eyes. She forcefully suppressed the hatred in her heart and continued to encourage Jason to speak more. “Did you not like Bonnie one bit? She has liked you for so many years.”
Jason sneered, “As you said, she has liked me for so many years. If I truly liked her, I would have liked her a long time ago, did I need to wait for so long?”
Bethan narrowed her eyes upon Jason’s words.
Jason suddenly warped into Brettley in front of her.
His cold voice was telling her a hard face. If he liked her, he would have liked her a long time ago, he did not need to wait for so long.
Bonnie’s silly infatuation was just like her back then. It was pathetic and funny.
Bethan sniffled her nose and looked away, saying nothing else.
Soon, Jason’s phone rang. He did not hide away from Bethan. He immediately picked the call up.
“Hmm, wait a little longer. When the marriage ceremony is over, I ‘ll go look for you and our son. You don’t have enough money? I’ll transfer some to you. Bonnie even gave me some money to spend yesterday. That fool, she won’t notice it…”
Bethan remained in the same spot, clutching the recording device tightly.
She suddenly could not bear to record Jason humiliating Bonnie. However, in the end, Bethan continued recording.
Perhaps, Bonnie could only truly let go under extreme heartbreak?
Just like her feelings for Brettley.
“Back then, when Bonnie and I got together. I truly thought that she would reconcile with the Craig family. That way, I will get to be a son-in-law of the Craigs.”
“You don’t have enough money? I’ll transfer some to you. Bonnie even gave me some money to spend yesterday…”
“That fool, she won’t notice it…”
That night, at Blue Bay Villa.
Bonnie was in Bethan’s bedroom, listening to Bethan’s recording. Her face was paler than the color of the wall behind her.
Tears fell uncontrollably. Bonnie bit her lips and shook her head furiously.
