She could not believe what had just happened, so she immediately took out her phone and called Fiona.
“Fiona! ” wailed Charmaine as soon as the call was connected. “Guess what I just saw? I saw President Morrison…carrying Bethan into the elevator! “
As soon as she heard this, Fiona fell into silence. After a moment, however, she asked coldly, “And then what happened?”
Seeing that Fiona was interested to hear what she had to say, Charmaine immediately continued, “
When I saw President Morrison carrying Bethan, I was upset. After all, President Morrison is your boyfriend, so how can he be carrying a b*tch like Bethan? I immediately stopped them and questioned what he was doing…”
Charmaine started sobbing as she said, “Do you know what happened next? Bethan’s subordinate, Shannon, came out of nowhere and slapped me! She told me not to spread rumors about them… She said that Bethan was injured and that President Morrison was just sending her to the hospital. How is that possible, Fiona? Bethan…”
Charmaine initially thought that if she told Fiona of her harrowing experience, Fiona would pity her and stick up for her in the future, seeing that they were friends, after all, but to her surprise–
“Shannon was right, “
Fiona said in an icy tone.
“Brettley was carrying Bethan simply because she got hurt, and he wanted to send her to the hospital.
That’s all it is. If you got slapped, it’s on you because you jumped to conclusions and talked nonsense. If employees of the design department or the entire Morrison Group Tower find out about this and spread rumors about Bethan and Brettley, you’ll feel my wrath.”
With that, Fiona hung up the phone, much to Charmaine’s bewilderment.
What was going on? Was Fiona going crazy?
Did Fiona get so used to Brettley cheating on her with Bethan that she no longer cared? Why was she on Bethan and Shannon’s side?
Meanwhile, Fiona hurled the phone against the wall in anger the moment she hung up.
Even though she had reprimanded Charmaine about this, she knew full well what Brettley was up to.
She had added libido -enhancing drugs into his drink to trick him into sleeping with her. However, not only was he perfectly calm, but he even stormed off to find Bethan as soon as he found out about everything.
He had left the office with Bethan a1ready…and Fiona knew exactly what he was about to do!
Fiona felt a surge of fury rise inside her at the very thought.
She bit down on her lip and fixed her gaze on the phone on the floor, as though she was staring right at Bethan’s beautiful, almost flawless face.
One day, she would take everything away from Bethan!
One of the servants at Orchard Manor heard Fiona throw her phone against the wall and immediately stormed into the room to see what was going on.
She picked up the phone lying on the floor and handed it to Fiona.
Fiona furrowed her brows and took the phone from her. Then, just as she was about to hurl it against the wall once more, she caught sight of some messages in a group chat.
The group chat was named, (Morrison Group Representative Team for International Jewelry Design Competition].
This was the group chat that Bethan and Zayne had created this morning, during their meeting, so that the team members could communicate with each other at any time.
At this moment, Zayne and Samson were discussing a potential proposal in the group chat.
Fiona narrowed her eyes.
If she remembered correctly, this competition was usually held overseas. The organizers never held the competition within their country, much less in Banyan City.
Fiona knew that Brettley wanted Bethan to win the world champion title and get the prize money, so he contacted the organizers and persuaded them to come to Banyan City all the way from Europa.
Fiona was unsure how much money he spent to persuade the organizers, but she knew that she envied and hated Bethan more than ever.
She envied Bethan’s beauty and, at the same time, envied the affection Bethan received from Brettley.
No matter how hard she tried, Fiona could never outshine Bethan. Therefore…
Fiona let out a sneer.
Since Brettley loved Bethan so much that he would even organize an international jewelry design contest just for her, Fiona would find a way to humiliate Bethan in front of everyone!
Blue Bay Villa.
As soon as Brettley got out of the car, he bent down, picked Bethan up, then kicked the front door open.
Bethan let out a sigh of relief, having returned to an environment she was familiar with, and glared at the man before her. “Brettley Morrison, that’s enough! Let g o of me! “
Every time Bethan got mad and scolded someone, her face would turn red, giving her usual cold and steely exterior a hint of endearing mischief.
Brettley could feel the blood rush to his head as he gazed at Bethan.
Every time she struggled against his grasp, he would find it even harder to suppress his lust.
Brettley ignored Bethan’s thrashing and scolding, pinning her down against the sofa instead and pressing his body on top of hers–
Thud!
A deafening thud echoed through the entire house.
Brettley, who was pinning Bethan down against the sofa, slumped limply on top of her right after.
Bethan could not help but furrowed her brows upon feeling his weight on top of her. However, since her hands were still tied, she had no way of releasing herself and instead looked in the direction where the noise had come from.
She saw Nellie holding a metal box in her hands, panting heavily at the same time.
It was evident that Nellie had struck Brettley on the back of his head with the metal box.
Seeing that Bethan was looking at her, Nellie’s face grew an even darker shade of red. She let out an exhale, then shouted for help at the top of her lungs.
Lily immediately arrived at the scene, along with the rest of the servants. The doctor who Brettley had assigned to look after Nigel stormed downstairs as well to see what was going on.
Everyone worked together to help move Brettley away from his position on top of Bethan and laid him down on the couch.
Nigel carefully untied the jacket around Bethan’s hands wordlessly. Meanwhile, Nellie put down the metal box and walked over to Bethan, then reached out to hold Bethan’s hand in silence.
The doctor frowned at this sight. “There seems to be something wrong with Mr. Morrison.”
She walked over and checked Brettley’s face carefully before she turned around to glance at Bethan. “Mr. Morrison seems to have eaten some medicine that he shouldn’t have.”
Bethan furrowed her brows. She patted Nellie and Nigel’s heads while trying to cover the hickey on her collarbone with her shirt. “What kind of medicine?”
“I need to send it to the lab.”
The doctor poked Brettley’s finger and drew some blood from his wound. “Please give me a moment.”
Half an hour later, the doctor looked up at Bethan. “
The results have come out. According to the lab, the medicine that Mr. Morrison took was…”
She paused and glanced at the two children somewhat awkwardly.
Bethan let out a sigh. “It’s okay. Just tell me.”
She already had an inkling of what it was.
She knew how much Brettley hated and detested her.
This man had even upped and left to find Fiona, even though Bethan had stayed by his bedside and taken care of him for three days, so how could Brettley even be willing to touch her?
How could he lust over Bethan if it were not for the help of libido-enhancing medications?
A long time ago, when they had just gotten married, Bethan had always been the one pestering him about having children, while he never–not even once — initiated anything of the sort.
“It’s…medication used for low sexual drive.”
The doctor sighed and continued in a low voice, “It’s usually couples who desire children that take this medication so that they can increase their fertility rates.”
Bethan closed her eyes. She let out a bitter smile, then picked up Nellie in one hand while the other held onto Nigel’s.
“Lily, take care of him for the time being. When he wakes up, let him leave on his own accord,” she ordered and disappeared up the stairs.
Bethan did not even feel like sparing this man another glance. She did not know what happened that made Brettley come to her instead of Fiona after eating the medication, but what she knew was that…
This man’s claims of not wanting children with Fiona were all fake. He was even willing to take fertility medication just for Fiona!
