Chapter 167 People Behind the Scenes
Two years ago, Betty loved Jeffrey so much.
However, things changed.
He didn’t believe her because of several photos, so she died inside. However, he was asking her if she was in love with Kerwin.
Betty found it funny.
She answered, “I love Kerwin very much.
Jeffrey, Emily is pregnant with your child. You should cherish her.”
Jeffrey felt terrible. He was so jealous of Kerwin. Betty actually admitted that she fell in love with Kerwin and asked him to cherish another woman. Was she the Betty he knew before?
Jeffrey admired that Kerwin announced that
Betty was her woman in public. Any woman would be moved by such sincerity.
Kerwin, he did it. He conquered Betty’s heart.
Betty said, “Jeffrey, we’re only schoolmates.
You asked me a lot of questions that you shouldn’t ask. Don’t forget that you are going to marry Emily next month.”
“Betty, I have to. She has my child, so I can only marry her.” Jeffrey hurriedly explained.
Jeffrey didn’t like Emily? Betty was surprised.
She felt sorry for Emily and Jeffrey. How many years could their marriage last if they got married just for the child?
Jeffrey rested his hands on her shoulders and said, “Betty, I only love you. I miss you every day and night. I hate it! I hate it when you lay beside other men, but I can only watch it helplessly. Betty, come back to me, okay? Let’s leave here together.”
Betty thought that she should keep a distance from Jeffrey, so she stepped back and Jeffrey’s hands fell from her shoulders.
She said, “Jeffrey, I’m sorry. I really don’t love you anymore. Emily is pregnant with your child, and you must take the responsibility. Forget me. The past is the past. Just face the reality.”
Betty’s words didn’t work, but aroused Jeffrey’s desire to conquer. Jeffrey rushed to her and held her tightly.
“Betty, no, don’t do this to me. You can’t do this to me!”
Jeffrey’s sudden move reminded Betty of Jeffrey kissing her before. She shook off his arms and slapped him across the face!
She fled from his office.
Jeffrey was left in the office and suddenly felt the cold wind blowing into his heart. She rejected him because of Kerwin?
Jeffrey thought to himself. Betty, when you meet James, he will tell you something about Kerwin. Then you’ll know how selfish Kerwin is! You’ll know who loves you most!
He would wait and see what would happen.
Suddenly, the phone in Jeffrey’s office rang.
Jeffrey picked it up. It was the news about Kerwin.
The person on the phone told Jeffrey that
Kerwin was indeed investigating the drug thing and photos two years ago.
Jeffrey knew that Kerwin would never give up finding out the person who set Betty up two years ago. If Kerwin clutched that matter, he would find out that Emily was the person he wanted one day.
Moreover, if Kerwin knew that Emily was behind the scene, he would never let her go!
What happened to the Watson family was an example.
“They didn’t find you, did they?” Jeffrey said, “Good. Deal with it quickly. Don’t leave any traces to Kerwin’s men, understand?”
“Yes, Mr. Martin. I will do my best. We’ll keep in contact.” The man on the other end of the phone said.
Although Jeffrey was angry with Emily for breaking him and Betty up, Emily was pregnant with his child, so he had to protect. her and their child.
If Kerwin knew that Emily was the one who drugged Betty, he would do whatever he could to destroy the Watson family, and make Emily wish she were dead.
Jeffrey didn’t want his baby to be the victim. of the resentment between adults. He needed a complete family.
So, Jeffrey had someone erase some clues. and evidence that Emily framed Betty two years ago, hoping to stop Kerwin from investigating the matter.
At the same time, on the other side of Chicago.
The president’s office of the Tylman Group.
Kerwin was sitting in the office and asking Peter about the investigation.
He asked Peter, “You have investigated the matter for so long. Have you found out any information about the person who set Betty up two years ago?”
Peter was very embarrassed, because he didn’t do a very good job.
Kerwin frowned, “What? There’s something that even you can’t find out?”
Peter actually had many doubts. He said to
Kerwin, “Mr. Martin, we have found some clues, but the trail suddenly went cold. It seems to have been erased, and a lot of evidence and clues have disappeared.” Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Kerwin frowned more deeply. He couldn’t figure out who was so concerned about what happened to Betty two years ago and was deliberately hiding the real culprit.
He asked, “What have you found? Where did the trail end?”
“We found that in addition to Betty and Jeffrey, another person often appeared on the campus.”
“Who?”
“Emily.”
“Emily?” Kerwin thought it was normal.
Although Betty and Emily were at odds, they were sisters. They needed to see each other sometimes.
Kerwin asked, “Anything else?”
Peter said, “Then… the tail went cold. It seems that some force has been obstructing us.”
Someone was obstructing their investigation? Why? How did the real culprit. know that he was investigating the incident two years ago? Was it someone he knew?
Kerwin was confused. He and Betty didn’t know each other two years ago, so the real culprit’s target wasn’t him. Then why did this person try to stop them from investigating the matter? Unless this person knew the relationship between him and Betty. He was afraid, so he made such moves.
He asked Peter, “Do you know who the person is?”
Peter replied, “We can’t find it out for the time being. He’s influential and not an ordinary person.”
Kerwin felt more and more strange.
Two years ago, Betty was just an ordinary college student. How could she mess up with such a bigwig? Even Jeffrey would not provoke such people at that time.
Kerwin told Peter to conquer all obstacles and continue to investigate until they found out the truth.
Since this person hurt his woman, he would never let him go no matter who he was.
