Zayn heard and stopped cleaning his hands,“What's wrong?” “Strange. There's no signal" Bethany shook her phone while asking, "How about yours, Mr Meyer?” Zayn put the folded handkerchief back in the pocket of his coat and took out his phone, "Mine too.” "What?” Bethany was shocked, "How could it be?" Zayn fell silent and lowered his eyes,seeming to figure something out. Bethany put down her phone, "Let me go and check if we can get any signal outside." Zayn didn't stop her either.Bethany then made her way to the front of the gate. But when she reached, she was stunned.A door that was supposed to be opened wide was closed. Instead, a sense of bad feeling arose in her head. “Wouldn't it be locked?” Bethany twisted the doorknob subconsciously, trying to open the door but in vain. Zayn approached and saw through everything. His face darkened, "The door is locked, isn't it?” Bethany nodded,"It's locked by someone from outside." “Of course, it is!" it seemed to be within Zayn's exp
She followed the maid into the villa, She didn't need to be shown the way. Antonio and Daphne were having breakfast,Joanna wasn't there and no one knew where she was. Daphne looked at Bethany as she was coming and she said in a weird tone, “Oh my, isn't that Bethany, what brings you here?” “I came for you”. Bethany answered coldly,then she looked over her and her gaze landed on Antonio,“ Mr. Antonio" Antonio didn't even mind her, as if she didn't exist. Bethany looked down. She wasn't mad. She just smiledDaphne thought it was a bitter smile.smugly, "Tell me what you want?”Bethany didn't want to waste any time with her. So she threw the file bag in front of her directly, which made a loud sound. Daphne was shocked with a tremble, "What are you doing?” Bethany glanced at her coldly, "Open it and take a look.” Although Daphne was reluctant, she still put down her fork, picked up the file bag, and opened it. Then she took out the document from the file bag. Her face turned pale
Joanna's face was twisted. She glared at her,“ How dare you to ask me, Bethany? Wasn't it you who made a scene at my place this morning and asked my dad for 4 million? I knew it all" "Oh?” Bethany sneered, "So, are you coming to ask for the money back?” Joanna couldn't move as she was pressed to the ground and grunted, "You know very well that the family can't afford this amount of money, given its current situation." "And?” "And? Do you want to see the group going bankrupt?" Joanna yelled. Bethany blinked carelessly,“ I don't mind.After all, I'm not a member of your family.Hence, they are none of my concern” “You” Joanna was annoyed to see her acting so poised and careless. Bethany let go of her hair and continued,“ I will not return the money. I deserve that ""Deserve ?” Joanna was agitated, “The Group is none of your concern you just said. So, what made you think that you can ask for such a huge amount?” She is broken now. Just when she was cracking her head on how to get som
Bethany lowered her head apologetically, "Mr. Meyer, I'm sorry that something like this happened just before the show starts, but don't worry, it will still go on as planned” At this, a thought flashed across Zayn's mind and his dark eyes lit up, "That paper box...” "Right!' Bethany nodded. Zayn's furrowed brows relaxed, “You are something” “I was just preparing for the worst." Bethany smiled shyly. "Oh really?” Zayn raised his brows, "You knew that someone would do something to the clothes? Then you should also have someone in mind?” "Sure!” Bethany looked him in the eyes, "And that person is Joanna." Zayn narrowed his eyes, "Are you sure?” Bethany nodded, then shook her head. Zayn was puzzled, "What do you mean?” Bethany sighed, "In the beginning, I was sure it was her, but I met her just now and talked to her a little, and now I'm not so sure anymore as I don't even have any evidence. But if we could find the staff that was involved in this, then we could gather some evidenc
When they returned to the apartment, Roseanne was left alone with the two children back at the mansion. However, Bethany asked her to come over. Roseanne came into the apartment just as she arrived. Bethany took off her shoes and entered the living room with Roseanne. Roseanne poured a glass of water for her and asked impatiently,"How was it? Was Joanna punished?" Bethany shook her head and responded, "She was not the one who did it." “What? It was not her?" Roseanne was shocked,"Then who would it be?” "I don't know. That's why I wanted to ask you if it were the foes we had abroad." Bethany asked as she sipped her water. Roseanne pondered for a few seconds and disagreed, "It shouldn't be possible. I haven't heard any news of them visiting the country." “Yeah" Bethany sighed and remained silent. She did not have many foes. It was just Joanna and her mother and a few schoolmates who were aboard. This was because of her teacher, Morales, who chose her as an apprentice. So, her sch
“She's not my guest. She's my aunt” Bethany smiled. Gael breathed a huge sigh of relief,"That's great!" "Hmm?" Bethany looked at him cluelessly, “Mr.Gael why are you so happy?” "Am I?" Gael rolled his eyes and played dumb, "I'm not. Ms. Quest, you got it wrong. I'm going back now. Bye!" After saying that, he took the business card, turned around, and went into the apartment opposite. After closing the door, Gael exhaled lightly, looked at the business card in his hand, and smiled bitterly. Ever since Bethany left the celebratory dinner party, Zayn had been looking gloomy. Gael knew well that Zayn was concerned about the person who Bethany was going to pick up. Otherwise, why did Zayn ask him to come here and check? Gael had no choice, He had to brazenly knock on Bethany's apartment door for Zayn's sake. He believed that when Zayn knew that Bethany was not receiving a man but her aunt “why were you telling me this thing for?.” “Just wanted to tell you what I saw,” Gael chuckle
she assumed this to be an accident "Huh?" Bethany didn't react right away. She lowered her head to inspect her outfit and suddenly blushed,"Uh... Please wait for a moment. I'll go change my clothes!” She slammed the door shut with a thud after she finished. The door panel almost hit Zayn's nose.Zayn took a step back and chuckled as he looked at the decorations on the door panel, which were shaking slightly.This was the first time he had seen Bethany act so rashly. The door opened after a few minutes.Bethany regained her previous exquisite and fashionable appearance. She made an inviting gesture to Zayn and said, "Please come in, Mr. Meyer." Zayn entered with a nod. Bethany poured a glass of water for him and asked, "What can I help you with, Mr. Meyer?" "Take your clothes off!" Zayn said as he placed his bag on the coffee table. Bethany almost choked and stared at him incredulously, "What are you talking about, Mr. Meyer.” He asks her to take her clothes off? When Zayn realised
"We haven't. He ran away with lightning speed, and he had a hat." One of the women answered. Jeff nodded,"It seems that the suspect tried to hide his face on purpose." At this time, the manager of the restaurant came in quickly with two police officers. "Who was the one calling the cops?" An elderly police officer asked. The woman raised her hand, "It was me." "Tell me, what happened?" The elderly officer " took out a notebook and was ready to write. The woman looked at Bethany. When Bethany nodded, the woman started telling him the story. Barbara grabbed the officer's hand and said to him, "Sir, you have to find him!" "Right, Sir, please!" Jeff didn't speak. He was looking down and in his thoughts. "Don't worry. That is our job. We will definitely find who it was." The officer comforted Barbara and the two kids, then he drew his hand back and started asking Bethany some questions. After doing so, he frowned, “That will be hard”. "Why?” The manager asked He was worried, the
