The man seemed to have figured out what Bethany was thinking. He stood up and smiled at her, "Hello, I'm Richard London, Mr.Remington’s secretary." "Secretary?" Roseanne was shocked and shouted, pointing at him,' "So you're not Mr.Remington?" "Mr. Remington had left because of something unexpected. He asked me to wait for you two." Richard replied. Bethany nodded, "So, why exactly did Mr.Remington invite us?" “Please have a seat first," Richard pointed to the sofa opposite his own. Roseanne helped Bethany walk over to the sofa and sit down. Richard poured both of them a cup of tea and then he explained, "We are from another city and we have never done business in Braeto city before. Since we happened to win this bidding today, we need a business partner to help us design and manufacture clothes for the winter season fashion show." "That's great. I have to tell you that Bethany..." Roseanne was going to praise Bethany's talent, but Bethany covered her mouth. "Sorry, she always
Bethany shrugged, not intending to answer the question. Roseanne laughed so hard that tears came out of her eyes. She wiped her tears at the corner of her eyes and mocked Joanna,"Oh my god, my stomach hurts from laughing. Joanna,you don't even know that Mr.Remington is not here. How can you cooperate with Mr. Remington?" "What do you mean?" Joanna's heart started to thud. She thought, "Not here? So—" Joanna immediately shifted her gaze at Richard and said in a sharp voice, "You're not Mr.Remington" "I'm Mr Remington's secretary." Richard smiled. Joanna clenched her fists and roared at him,"Why didn't you tell me you're not Mr.Remington just now?" She was so furious at his embarrassing her in front of Bethany and Roseanne. Richard stretched out his hands innocently,"Miss Meyer, it's not that I didn't want to tell you, but you didn't give me the chance. You interrupted me twice. What can I do about that?" "That's right." Roseanne agreed, "It's you who just came in and didn't give R
Zayn frowned and wanted to say something but before he opened his mouth, Roseanne spoke first, "Hey, don't be that mean, alright? Mr. Meyer has explained that he helped Bethany because her foot was injured and she was unable to stand steady on herself. They did not do anything else. It's not like they're cheating on her. Besides, you caused Bethany's injury! Your brother is only helping Bethany for your sake!" "You!" Joanna got angry. When she was just about to retort, Zayn suddenly pulled her away. He looked down at Bethany's foot and shifted his gaze to her face, "Did Joanna do it?" Bethany 's red lips opened when she answered yes in a low voice. Zayn was pissed off and he looked at Joanna coldly and fiercely. Joanna turned pale and she subconsciously denied it, "Zayn, don't believe their nonsense! There Is no such thing." "What do you mean that there is no such thing? You dropped some essential oil on the ground outside the restroom to stop us from bidding. You made Bethany fa
Jeff's eyes lit up, "You are going with me?" Bethany answered yes. "That's great. I'll pick you up then." Jeff put down the apple and stood up. Bethany nodded, "Okay" After he left, Barbara picked up the apple he just put down and put it back on the plate "It's so nice of Jeff. He even invites you to attend his friend's wedding!" Bethany nibbled on the apple, "Actually, I'm not interested in other people's weddings at all. I'd rather he asked Roseanne or Erica instead of me." Barbara said, "I don't know if you are really stupid or pretending to be stupid. You're sensitive to your feelings for Zayn. But why do you turn a blind eye to what Jeff does for you?" "Huh?" Bethany blinked confusedly, "Donnie,what are you saying? I cannot understand." Barbara rolled her eyes, "Nothing, it's better if you can't understand. If you understand it, I'm afraid that you and Jeff can't be friends anymore." After saying that, she poked Bethany’s forehead and went into the bathroom. Bethany touc
Barbara looked at Bethany, "Honey, what did you do?" Bethany said coldly, "Daphne said that I broke Joanna's leg!" "Bullshit!" Barbara yelled at Daphne, "Do you have any evidence to prove that Bethany broke your daughter's leg? Do you know that your daughter made Bethany sprain her foot? How could you be so vicious?" "What do you mean? What I said is the truth! She had someone break Joanna's leg just because Joanna made her foot sprain. She is a vicious one." Daphne looked at Bethany resentfully. Barbara stood between Bethany and Daphne to protect Bethany, "Bethany is vicious? Bethany didn't do anything. Why don't you think your daughter is vicious? She deliberately hurt Bethany!" “Bethany just sprained her foot, but Joanna's leg is broken. If you don't give me an explanation today, I will call the police and sue you for your intentional retaliation!" Daphne shouted, clenching her fist. "Go ahead! Go call the police! We did not do it, anyway. Just let the police investigate it. I
Barbara went mad before Bethany said anything to Antonio. She came up and blocked between Bethany and Antonio. "How dare you bring up that matter!? Joanna would never have the chance to marry if it wasn't me!" she said, looking furious. Antonio was shocked by Barbara’s reaction "Calm down, Barbara!" he said. "No,"Barbara shouted, clenching her hands into fists, "No! Why do I have to calm down? ! After all the vile things that your daughter has done to my precious Benny, I never doubt it! And now you want Bethany to be a nice person and forgive Joanna? Never!" She held Bethany in her arms again and said to her when she finished her sentence to Antonio, "Let's go, honey." Bethany nodded. Bethany and Barbara didn't say anything more to Antonio and Daphne . They left the police station. Barbara was still mad at Antonio on their ride back to the hospital. She couldn't help thinking about it. She found it hard to accept the fact that Joanna was going to get married into an elite family
Zayn lowered his eyes to hide his emotions. "I should be the one who takes the most responsibility if you're right. It has nothing to do with Bethany if I fall in love with her. But why don't you come to me?""No! She's the one who should take responsibility! Because she seduces you!" Joanna shook her head and insisted that Bethany was the problem.Zayn looked at Joanna again and said "You are being unreasonable! Let me tell you something. You shouldn't hurt anyone no matter whose fault it is. I have tolerated you for quite a long time,Joanna. I'll call the press and tell them I'm breaking the engagement between you and young master Sebastian .""Not Never! I will not agree!" Joanna forgot her leg was in a cast and supported her both up with her arms. 'You want to break off my engagement and you wish to get together with Bethany? No way!' she thought."You think you could stop me?" Zayn's lips curled into a teasing smile. Joanna finally knew he meant it.Something came to her mind. Jo
Zayn was just about to answer her when another severe electric current appeared. Bethany had to put her hands over her ears for the reason that her eardrums were so painful as if they had been perforated. But what she did was only a temporary solution. She still suffered the impact of the sound of electric currents. Zayn saw a painful look on her face. He set his mouth in a grim line, and then he took off his coat to cover it over. Bethany’s head, suffering from the pain, Zayn put his hands over her hands, through the coat, to help her against the hurt from the electric currents. Then Bethany could hardly hear the electric currents. The painful look gradually disappeared from her face. She looked up at zayn. At that moment, she realised that Zayn was protecting her when he suffered from the great pain caused by the electric currents. She was deeply touched and then her nose twitched. "Mr. Meyer." Bethany called his name softly, in a strangled voice. Because of the noise, Zayn c
