Bethan yelled angrily without any care of her image while taking her phone out.
“If you don’t let me out, I’m going to call the cops! Not only will I call them, but I will also call your beloved Ms. Blake. I want her to see how her man is still here looking for me so late at night! I don’t believe you will be able to explain yourself! “
Then, Bethan was already flipping through her contacts.
Brettley was stunned. No!
He could not let Bethan call Fiona!
The operation was in a few days, nothing could afford to go wrong at this stage!
At that thought, Brettley did not even think. He immediately turned around from the driver’s seat and grabbed Bethan’s hand roughly.
Clank!
Bethan’s phone hit the car window and bounced back onto the car seat. It dropped into the cracks between the seats.
The moment it fell, Bethan and Brettley were both stunned.
Brettley did not expect the phone to fly away even when he did not use too much force.
Bethan did not expect that just because she threatened him with a few words he would use force against her!
The atmosphere in the car instantly turned silent.
At that moment, a gentle woman’s voice came from the phone which fell in between the cracks of the seat.
“It’s Ms. Bethan, right?”
Bethan was stunned.
She did not want to really call Fiona. She flipped through her contacts only to scare Brettley a little to get him to let her out of the car.
However, she did not expect that Brettley would have such a huge reaction. She also did not expect that the moment he snatched her phone away, it would dial out.
Coincidentally, it dialed Fiona Blake, because Bethan’s contacts were organized by last names alphabetically.
“Ms. Bethan?”
When she did not receive a response, Fiona laughed gently, “Did Brettley look for you?”
Both of their breaths were stifled in the car upon Fiona’s words.
Bethan pursed her lips. She glanced at Brettley, whose expressions were darkened, coldly. “No. Ms. Blake. I’m so sorry to disturb you so late. I accidentally dialed wrongly. My phone is wonky. Why don’t you hang up first.”
Upon Bethan’s words, Fiona laughed understandingly, “Ms. Bethan, if Brettley were to look for you and say or do inappropriate things, don’t blame him.
“He is indeed feeling guilty for you. If it weren’t for my illness suddenly flaring up at the seafood market this afternoon, he would have definitely rushed over and rescued you.
“After all, you two were once husband and wife. Both of you even had a few children together. He would not have just watched you get beaten up. Today’s incident was all my fault…”
Fiona said in a feeble and aggrieved tone, “Brettley suddenly left in the hurry. Although he said that he’s going to work, I’m guessing that he must have gone to look for you. I think he still blames me. It’s all my fault. I wish my illness didn’t flare up.
“Ms. Bethan, please don’t resent Brettley due to the incident this afternoon. It was not that he didn’t want to rescue you. He must be feeling guilty that he didn’t go and rescue you. Thank goodness you did not have any serious injuries, if something were to happen to you, how could I continue living?”
Bethan closed her eyes and listened to Fiona’s half- hearted words. She sneered.
“Ms. Blake, you’re overthinking this. Brettley did not come to find me.”
Bethan took a deep breath and looked at Brettley, who was in the driver’s seat, coldly.
“We have long ended our relationship. Also, he has also stated openly that he is not willing to pay for my child’s medical fees. My children and I have had nothing to do with him for a long time already.
“In my opinion, he and I are only superior and subordinate. Outside the company, we are strangers. I will not resent a stranger. I will not be angry when a stranger doesn’t help me when I ‘m being bullied.
“However, if I were Brettley, I would not be so shameless coming to his subordinate’s house after watching her get bullied.”
Then, Bethan coldly narrowed her eyes.
“Also, Ms. Blake, you don’t understand Brettley well enough. He might feel guilty if he had done something he shouldn’t do to others, but to me, he will never feel guilty.
“Lastly, I hope that you will look after your man properly. It would be better if he were at home being very much in love with you. Make sure he doesn’t come to other people’s houses and be annoying, “
Bethan said while reaching her hand into the cracks of the seat.
She followed the voice and dim light from the phone and managed to touch the edge of the phone.
The moment she touched the phone, Fiona’s tender voice was still ringing out.
“Ms. Bethan, you have misunderstood Brettley. He… “
Before Fiona could finish her sentence, Bethan had already fished her phone out.
“I’m sorry, Ms. Blake, I do not want to continue talking to you. Goodbye.”
Bethan coldly interrupted Fiona and hung up the call.
Bethan kept her phone and let out a long breath. Only then did she notice that the air in the car was so still it was suffocating.
The main source of this depressing atmosphere was coming from the man in the front seat.
“Bethan.”
Brettley’s hand gripped onto the steering wheel so tightly his knuckles turned white.
He looked ahead and forced out every single word. “
What you just said…was it all from your heart?”
Bethan sneered, “What do you think? Do you think I’ll be so kind -hearted to say all those so you and Ms. Blake won’t have a misunderstanding?”
“But you did indeed hide the truth.”
“I hid it not because I was afraid it would affect your relationship. I was worried it would affect my reputation.”
Bethan sneered.
“Mr. Morrison, I’m sure you know how hostile Ms. Blake is toward me, right? If I were to admit that you were here with me, Ms. Blake might cry and grumble. She might be fine after a night. What about me?
“She would resent me and try to exact revenge during work.”
Brettley also sneered.
“You’re afraid that an intern would seek revenge?”
Bethan laughed mockingly, “The first day Ms. Blake reported to the company, you wanted to fire three of my assistants because of her.
“Today is her second day, you almost punished Shannon from my department because of her.
“I ‘m not afraid that the intern would seek revenge, but the intern has your support, Mr. Morrison. Who wouldn’t be afraid?”
The atmosphere in the car became even heavier upon Bethan’s words.
Brettley grabbed the steering wheel and closed his eyes slowly.
“Bethan, you keep saying I protect Fiona, but you dare say your staff is not wrong?”
“Mr. Morrison, if you were to truly investigate it, you will know whether are they in the wrong or not, but will you do it? Will you want to expose Ms. Blake’s tricks? You won’t.”
Bethan took a deep breath.
“Brettley, you have always been like this. If you like a woman , you will let them do anything. Whether it be Cynthal, Alice, or Fiona. All of your women, besides me, every one of them could use the fact that they are your woman to bully others.
“Only I could not. When I was with you I was always walking on thin ice. I was worried that you would be in a bad mood. I was worried that your health would not be able to take it due to your excessive socializing.
“After splitting up with you, I would always think to myself in the middle of the night. What did I do wrong? Where did it go wrong that you would be so cold and heartless to me? Later on, I realized. It was not what I did wrong. It was that you never once liked me.”
Bethan sniffled her nose.
“Brettley.”
All those years of suppressed suffering and grievances finally came pouring out.
