Actually, he has done so much for me because of what I said before. I am now a staff of the jewelry design department. If I became the champion of that international competition, I would become a qualified designer.
“I never would have thought that Brettley would do so much after hearing me say that. I’m truly touched. When I lead the team to be champions tomorrow and after I will become Banyan City’s most dazzling woman…
“I will prepare to have children with Brettley. For a man that loves me so much, I should give him a few more children, don’t you think?”
Then, Fiona stood up relaxedly amidst Bethan’s darkened expressions.
“Look at me, we’re fast friends, Ms. Bethan. I initially just wanted to randomly chat with you, yet we talked for so long. The main reason I came here is about tomorrow’s competition.
“Maybe I speak faster than you. The script you gave me for the design concept would not be able to last me for half an hour.”
Fiona blinked at Bethan.
“Add something into the script and flourish it. It’s now eight -thirty. Hand it to me by ten, I’m sure you could do it, right?”
Bethan narrowed her eyes, saying nothing. “You can definitely do it.”
Fiona chuckled lightly. She said while leaving, “I’ll go get busy first. Remember to hand it in by ten. Sigh.
It’s exhausting being the person in charge…”
Bethan sat in her chair and looked at Fiona leaving. She fiercely squinted her eyes.
When her door was closed. She immediately turned on her computer and checked the news regarding the relationship between President Calvin and Brettley.
It turned out like what Fiona said.
Brettley and President Calvin do have business dealings.
All the expenses of the competition organizing committee coming to Banyan City were taken care of by a small overseas company.
The small company belonged to Brettley.
When Bethan saw the news, she felt her heart sinking to the bottom of the ocean.
Fiona was right. Brettley did specially prepare the competition for her.
However, Brettley should know that Bethan was someone who had no skills in design.
Since he spent so much effort getting the organizing committee to move the competition here, he must have thought of a way to make Fiona a champion.
A horrifying thought appeared in Bethan’s mind.
She closed her eyes. Her hand which was holding onto the mouse started trembling.
That meant that, from the beginning, Brettley had been using her.
He deliberately forced her with an agreement, getting her to lead the team in this competition, then forcefully finding a reason to get Fiona into her team.
Then, he got Fiona to stir trouble up before the competition, so Fiona could replace Bethan as the leader at the very last minute.
That way, his beloved Ms. Blake would be able to get the honors that did not belong to her.
It was summertime, yet Bethan’s heart was extremely cold, sitting in the office.
Brettley Morrison had been using her from the beginning!
“That’s bullying! “
After Fiona left, Shannon came into Bethan’s office. Looking at the script Fiona sent it, Shannon was indignant.
“She could have clearly done it herself! Even if she could not do it, she could get a secretary to do it!
You’re the Director of Design. Why should you do it for her?”
Then, Shannon lifted her head and looked at Bethan.
“By the way, Director Bethan, isn’t your true identity the great designer Moon? With your fame, a lot of the international jury members at the competition tomorrow should recognize you, right? Do you want to use your original identity to get them to let the Morrison Group lose?”
The more Shannon spoke the more she felt that it was a great idea.
“If you can’t win, you should not let Fiona win too! “
Bethan smiled and shook her head helplessly.
“Other than Fiona and me in the team, there are eight other people. They have been working hard for the past half a month. Should I let all of their efforts go to waste just because of my personal feud with Fiona?”
Bethan could not do it.
“Forget about it.”
Bethan took a deep breath and picked the script up. She started editing it.
“This is not the first time I have been bullied by Brettley. I don’t care anymore.”
Looking at Bethan, Shannon felt sorry.
Coming out from Bethan’s office, Shannon hesitated for a while. In the end, she still walked to Brettley’s office.
She knew that she should not look for Brettley with her lowly job status.
However, Shannon also thought that since she and Brettley were distant relatives.
What if…
What if he actually listened to her?
However, Shannon did not expect that the moment she was outside Brettley’s office and before she could knock, she heard Lucas’ voice coming inside.
“Sir, Ms. Blake’s illness is quite stable for the time being. The doctor said that he had prescribed her medication to stabilize her moods. She should be able to handle the competition tomorrow.”
Then, Brettley’s cold and low voice rang in the office. “What about the others?”
“Are you talking about her terminal illness? The doctors have not found any special medication for her. Ms. Blake should only have…a year remaining to live.”
Shannon’s eyes widened. Her hand that was about to knock on the door stopped in mid-air.
Fiona has a terminal illness and she only has a year left to live?
Shannon was shocked for a long time. In the end, she did not muster enough courage to knock on Brettley’s door.
However, since Fiona only has a year left to live, if Bethan were to hold on longer and remained in Banyan City for another year, perhaps her relationship with Brettley could be repaired?
At that thought, Shannon instantly turned around and ran downstairs back to Bethan’s office. She wanted to tell Bethan the good news.
Perhaps, Brettley only treated Fiona so nicely because Fiona was a terminal illness patient!
However, when Shannon barged into Bethan’s office, Bethan had already edited the script for Fiona and left.
It was Fiona sitting in Bethan’s office.
She sat on where Bethan sat previously, leaning back. As if the office belonged to her.
Looking at Shannon entering, Fiona smiled. “Shannon, say, do you think sitting here suits me?”
Shannon’s excited heart was instantly disheartened. She simply praised Fiona for a few sentences with a cold expression before turning around and leaving.
Coming out from the office, Shannon anxiously called Bethan. “Director Bethan, I think there are still things to salvage between you and President Morrison! “
“I just heard him talking to Lucas. He said that Fiona has a terminal illness and she has less than a year to live! So…”
At that moment, Bethan was playing at Blue Bay Villa’s backyard garden with Nigel and Nellie.
She was holding onto the phone while sketching the scenery of the garden. She smiled.
“So what?”
Bethan was stunned. “Meaning to say, President Morrison “Do you believe in such a lie like Fiona having a terminal illness?”
From the way Fiona was being arrogant in front of her that morning, even saying that she wanted to bear four children for Brettley…
Bethan did not believe one bit that Fiona had some terminal illness.
