“Come here.”
Bethan took iodine out and furrowed her brows at him.
Brettley laughed a little. He was just about to go in closer when his phone rang.
From Bethan’s angle, she could see the screen of his phone.
The caller ID stated, (Blake].
Brettley had two phones. One was for business, the other was personal.
The phone that was ringing at that moment was his personal one.
Looking at this Blake, Bethan furrowed her brows in confusion.
Among the people that Brettley knew, was there someone with the surname Blake?
How did she not know?
Initially, Bethan was waiting for Brettley to pick up the phone then deduce who the person was from their conversation.
However, she did not expect that the moment Brettley looked at the caller ID on his phone, he hesitated.
Brettley raised his hand which was holding onto the ringing phone. He stood up.
“I still have matters to attend to. I’ll make a move. “
Bethan was still holding onto the iodine.
Looking at the blood seeping out from the wound on Brettley’s neck. “You still need to deal with the wound, right?”
A moment ago, he was still brazenly getting her to admit that she wanted to dress his wound. Why, at that moment, because of a phone call, he did not even bother to deal with his wound?
“It’s fine.”
Brettley lifted his hand. He directly used his fingers to wipe the blood away. “I’ll make a move first.”
Then, he strode to the entrance, picked up the documents by the entrance, and left.
The moment he exited the door. He looked at Bethan deeply.
“Take care.”
Bethan looked at him strangely.
Has he gone nuts? No one wanted his wish.
After Brettley had gone for a long while only then did Bethan remember that she still had not replied to Bonnie’s message.
She skipped a few steps while heading upstairs and took her phone out, about to reply to Bonnie’s message when her phone rang.
It was from Bonnie.
Bethan furrowed her brows and picked it up.
“Bonnie?”
“Bethan, you really have some tricks up your sleeves.”
On the other end of the line was not Bonnie’s voice, but Jason’s.
Jason gritted his teeth and said pressingly, “I initially wanted to let you and Bonnie, but why did you not give me a chance?”
He laughed maniacally and arrogantly, “Bethan, you forced my hand! “
Bethan grabbed the phone tightly.
“Jason! Calm down! You and Bonnie are not married yet. If you do anything to Bonnie and she dies, you won’t even get a single cent! By then, the Craigs’ inheritance would go to distant relatives. Do you want that?”
Brettley’s arrogance was cut in half upon Bethan’s words.
After a while, Jason sneered, “Don’t you think I don’t know that? All this while, I have treated her like a deity, serving her and pleasing her. I made her feel that I loved her the most in the entire world.
Look at what happened then?
“You have been unconscious for more than a month! Now that you’ve been up for just a few days, she already trusts you more! She doesn’t trust me anymore! She treats me as the enemy! Bethan! You’re horrible! Horrible! “
Hearing Jason’s voice on the other end of the line, Bethan let out a long exhale. Her suspended heart finally landed.
Although she could hear the urgency and the strong hatred in Jason’s tone, Bethan could also hear that he still wanted Bonnie’s inheritance.
Since he wanted money, he could not do anything to Bonnie.
At least before their marriage, he would not be able to do anything to her.
At that thought, Bethan calmed down. She tried to sound calm.
“Jason, how is Bonnie now?” “How? I knocked her cold.”
On the other end of the call, Jason was driving while looking at the lady being tied up tightly in the backseat of the car.
His voice was cold.
“Doesn’t she want to know where my wife and son are? I’ll bring her to see them right now! “
Bethan narrowed her eyes. “What are you trying to do?”
Jason laughed arrogantly, “What does it have to do with you? I’m calling you to inform you. Bethan, from now onward, don’t meddle in our affairs! If you don’t want your two other children to end up like your dead child, you take your kids and live your life! Mind your own business! “
After spitting those last four words, Jason directly hung up.
Bethan gripped the phone, listening to the disconnecting tone. Her heart sank violently.
She took a deep breath and immediately switched on her computer by the side.
Although the tracking app on Jason’s phone, installed by Bonnie, must have been removed, Nigel had specially installed a secret tracking device on Bonnie’s phone.
Jason called her from Bonnie’s phone a moment ago. That proved that Bonnie’s phone was still with them!
Bethan immediately opened the tracking software on her computer.
Bonnie’s phone was a red dot on the map, slowly moving toward the outskirts at the eastern side of the city.
Bethan bit her lips hard.
At that sort of moment, her first reaction was to make a police report.
However, if she made a police report, the police would not know the truth between Bonnie and Jason. They would most probably think that it was just a basic lover’s quarrel.
At that thought, Bethan hesitated for a very long tie. In the end, she searched for Brettley’s contact.
Although she just had an unpleasant interaction with Brettley a moment ago, a person’s life was at risk at that moment.
When she was abroad, she could find Malcolm if she encountered any problems.
When Theo was still alive, she could still look for him.
However, at that moment, in such a time, she could only think of Brettley.
Also, Bonnie was of the Craig family. Her family was considered well acquainted with Brettley many years ago. Brettley’s good friend, Jude, was also considered a distant cousin of Bonnie’s.
Bethan felt that Brettley would help out.
However, Bethan did not expect when she mustered the courage to call Brettley, Brettley, on the other end of the line, brushed her off perfunctorily.
“I’m busy right now.”
Brettley gently cleared his throat. “Okay, why don’t I get Jude to head to Blue Bay Villa right now, to rescue Bonnie with you. Jude and Bonnie are relatives. He would help. I ‘m hanging up. I ‘m still busy.”
Brettley finished saying what he needed to say and hung up the call just like that.
Bethan, holding onto the phone, was baffled. Was he exacting revenge?
