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
"Did you do it?" Bethany pinched the phone tight, confronting. Danica looked bewildered, "What the hell? Did I do?" "Are you the one who tried to kill me last night and today?" Bethany stood up. Danica hesitated, then laughed, "Wow, it seemed like I wasn't the only one who hates you. Someone else went this far to take your life already!" "What do you mean? You didn't do it?" Bethany squinted her eyes. Danica curled her lips, "Of course , it wasn't me. I sure as hell want you dead, but since we were rivalries, everyone would point their fingers at me if you ever got into trouble. So clearly, I wasn't stupid enough to be a criminal. How about you think back on all the other adversaries you have made in the past?" Then she hung up as she finished. Bethany dropped the phone. Barbara looked down at her, "So she did it then, did she? My dear?" Bethany was rubbing against her temples, “I don't know. The reason why I called her is to test her. If she is the one, I would know something i
…..That night at Bethany’s mansion.Bethany was scrolling through a file on her laptop when her phone rang.It was a call from Barbara.“Darling, I have gone to pay my rest at the temple along with Vella. We will be back home very soon, don't worry everything is fine and Vella is having a lot of fun” Barbara excitedly explains everything in one goal.Bethany smiled, hearing her words.“Donnie, I hope you had fun visiting the places you wanted. And Vella wanted to see the greenery, hope she enjoyed it” Bethany stopped scrolling and asked with a smile on her face. “Yes, she did but she wanted Jenna to accompany her to see the green water fountain. So, she refuses to visit it without her” Barbara ruffled Vella’s hair and said. She looked at the little girl’s face and smiled.Vella beamed back at her. “Really? I should have sent Jenna along with her but Jenna didn't want to go back yet, she was worried about something but it's been taken care of. When you're back, I'll go along with t
“Don't be faster than your shadows. Zayn is not the type to get distracted by things like that. Let's lay low and strike when least expected” Joanna suggested. She knew his Zayn was like and didn't want things to get messed up. Bent on the other held his phone in his hands while his chest rose and fell at the mention of Bethany. Bethany had managed to capture Zayn’s heart and was a great asset to him, how could she go missing? “Talking of Bethany.That cocky woman humiliated me so much before, why are we even talking about her?” Sapphira was boiling with rage once she saw Bethany’s name. “You are not the only one.Bethany was like a huge thorn in my flesh, she came after me like a rival.I have a very bad feeling about that woman” Daphne cringed her face, thinking of the times Bethany made her life difficult. “Who is this Bethany and why was she after you all?” Dimitri seemed to be the only one who didn't have any encounter with Bethany. “That miserable girl was a menace. Who knew
Hearing his words, Mr.Meyer turned to look at him with seriousness.The expression appeared as though something had been awakened in his mind.“Do you really think so? If that's the case then we don't deserve to call ourselves her family, how could we fail to find her?” He viciously blames himself.“Why are you blaming yourself, old master Meyer? It's not even confirmed that the young mistress is alive yet. On top of that, the situation was too complicated and no one knew the truth.” Mr.Meyer Sr looked ghastly at the dark view of the sea and muttered.“If there's a chance that my dear Giselle is out there somewhere, I'll turn the whole world down to bring her back no matter what”His firm tone and cold expressions were a testament to his serious he was.“What are you planning to do, Master Meyer? What's on your mind?” The Butler asked, seeing his expression.“It's her death anniversary very soon. Wouldn't it be nice if we found her before then? That way we will get to celebrate her bi
Back in the hospital. The smile on Jessica’s face faded as soon as Zayn was gone.After he left, the smile on Jessica's face disappeared and she put on a cold face. The next moment, she pulled open the bedside drawer, took out a document, and opened it. She was a little sad. But soon she thought of something else and slowly touched on these words, revealing a frightening smile. Just then, she heard a soft knock on the door before Jeff walked into the room with his stethoscope in his hands. He carefully examined her and said.“Ms.Ferguson, there is nothing to worry about.If you look after yourself well, you'll be fine” “Dr.Emerson, why isn't Ms.Quest visiting you anymore? Did you two have a lover’s quarrel?” Jessica asked seriously with a pretentious smile. Jeff was caught off-guard. However, the mention of Bethany’s name caused his eyes to turn red with hate. Jessica was quick-witted, she saw his expressions but didn't say a word. “.Ms.Ferguson, Ms.Quest is quite busy that
“Jessie, Ms.Quest had gone on a business trip for a few days, she's not back yet. As soon as she comes back, I'll send her over to accompany you for a while” Jessica was disappointed when she found out about this.At first thing, she thought Bethany was keeping her distance from her after getting into a feud with Danica.She had read online that Bethany and Danica got into a fight after Danica’s show flopped but she didn't expect that things would get this harsh.Danica was the perfect villain and nks that things had gotten to this level, she song hold back anymore.“Is that so? That's alright.Ms.Quest is very kind hearted, she makes me so happy” Jessica said with a warm smile lingering under her eyelids.Zayn was surprised to see how sweetly she talks about Bethany.On Top of that, he noticed that the mention of Bethany’s name lit up a smile on her face.He didn't think too much about it and was glad.“Jessie, I'll arrange with the doctors and get you transferred to the Platinum Villa
“I'm dying, Zayn. I'm dying from everything, there's no reason to continue!” Jessica sounded so weak as if she had given up on life.A few weeks back, Zayn had motivated her to continue living no matter what.However, seeing that he had given up on her, Jessica decided she had no reason to live anymore.“What are you talking about, Jessica? You shouldn't give up so soon. I'm here with you now, I was a little busy and neglected you for a while, I'm so sorry” Zayn was apologetic as he took her hands into his and kissed them.Her thin hand was utterly cold and devoid of life. In the end, Zayn got scared.“You have too much to deal with now. Why would you bother yourself with my responsibility? I don't want to trouble you so don't worry about me”Even though it sounded as though Jessica was being considerate. In reality, she was pushing him to the edge to make him feel bad.Zayn couldn't bring himself to look her in the eyes, he blamed himself for her condition. So, he could only tighten
….In the hospital, Zayn waited at the door of the ward while the doctors attended to Jessica.He was worried sick and couldn't stand still no matter his much he tried.A few days ago, Jessica wanted him to visit her and stay by her side for a while to keep her warm and chase away her loneliness for some time.However, he was too busy and requested to visit her later.If things went wrong and she didn't make it, he would begrudge himself forever. At this time, a nurse came out of the treatment room anxiously and was heading out when Zayn stopped her in her tracks.“Nurse, what's happening to Jessica? She was just fine, right? How come she's critical?” Zayn demanded, feeling suffocated. Frustration was evident on his face as he couldn't help but worry about Jessica.“Mr.Meyer, I have no idea how Ms.Ferguson is faring right now. Her condition suddenly retrogressed and was rushed to the treatment room immediately then I had to call you up since there was no one else” Zayn was riled up
“ENOUGH! Shut the f*ck up, everyone!” After tapping his feet against the floor for umpteen times and they still continued to argue, Bent squealed loudly, causing them to stop brawling and look in his direction. “Do you know what your problem is? You never learn from a mistake. You all are so dumb and fall through without hassle!” Bent yelled, losing his patience at their trifling scuffle.Everyone was stunned by Bent's sudden outburst; no one knew what came over him.In the end, they all glared at him with curiosity and waited for him to say a word.Cone to think of it, Bent had been quiet the entire time and suddenly burst out with anger.“What's wrong with you, Bent? What's with outbursts? Did we do something wrong?!”Sapphira Grand, looked at her son and asked, tilting her head to grasp his expression.“How could you all not realise you are making a mistake right now? Do you not realize who the actual enemy is?” Bent asked, he had a somber seriousness to his tone. At the mentio
Once Zayn left, they turned to look at each other with complicated gazes. “Why would Zayn hurriedly leave in the middle of an important family meal? What was so urgent that he couldn't care less about Grandpa’s health before dashing off? Who knows if Zayn truly cares about Grandpa!”Joanna broke the silence with her rhetorical questions.Even though it sounded as if she was worried about the old man, she was simply trying to ignite the burning flame in his heart.She could vividly remember that Mr.Meyer Sr still held a grudge against Zayn for what happened to Giselle Medina. Joanna stole a glance at Mr.Meyer Sr and saw the vain expression on his face, she smiled hideously. She scoffed before saying.“Maybe, he's really busy today, Zayn’s never left Grandpa alone before especially while he's sick”At this time, everyone noticed the dark aura looming around Mr.Meyer Sr, he was getting offended at Joanna’s remarks but he couldn't say a word since he was telling the truth.Zayn had always
