Chapter 170 Something’s happened!
A trace of sadness flashed across James’ eyes when he heard Betty’s words. When he thought of Julia, he would always think of the time when he played with her as a child in the park.
At that time, Julia always followed him like his shadow, but he didn’t want to play with her.
It was not until his parents died that he found that he had only one family in the world. She was so small and needed protection. At that time, he understood his burden and responsibility.
James whispered, “My parents died more than ten years ago, and Julia was my last and only family.”
Betty felt sorry for him.
She wanted to get to the point and interview
James about the antique exhibition, but
James didn’t want to talk to her anymore.
He said, “Well, that’s the end of our conversation. I’ve said everything I should say to you.” He was like showing her the door.
But Betty still had to finish the interview task. She couldn’t just leave here directly.
She said, “Mr. Davis, can I just ask you a few
questions about the antique exhibition? We’ll not talk about anything else, okay?”
A smile appeared in James’s eyes with a trace of contempt, as if what Betty said was ridiculous.
He said, “Do you really think Jeffrey sent you to me for this antique exhibition? You are so silly. No wonder you will be deceived by Kerwin. You deserve it.”
What did James mean? Jeffrey asked her to interview James not for their magazine. Then for what? Were Jeffrey and James in the same camp? Betty had so many doubts.
James said, “Or, you know what kind of person Kerwin is, but you love being Mrs.
Martin and the benefits brought by it? Betty, Kerwin is so cold, and you can actually stand it?”
James’ words were so harsh. Betty couldn’t stand it anymore. He was right. There was no need to continue the interview anymore.
Betty didn’t drink the coffee, but stood up and was about to leave.
James said, “Betty, be smart and think about what I said carefully. Don’t blame me for not reminding you in the future.”
The interview ended in a tense and gloomy atmosphere.
Betty went home listlessly all the way.
She failed to complete the interview task and didn’t use the interview materials at all, but was judged by James.
When she got home, she found that Kerwin was reading a magazine on the sofa.
Kerwin saw her and said, “You got off work so early today?”
“Oh, there was an interview. I came back after finishing it.” Betty answered absently. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
She looked at Kerwin’s back and wondered if she should remind him of something about the fire.
After thinking for a moment, she said, “Kerwin, you found something about me being set up two years ago, but you didn’t try to find the person who kidnapped you that year? Grandpa didn’t investigate it, either?”
Betty believed that as long as they found the kidnapper, they might know how Julia died, and Kerwin wouldn’t be wronged anymore.
Then, James would get over his closure.
Maybe Kerwin and he could make up. After all, they both loved Julia so deeply.
Kerwin asked with a puzzled look, “Where is this coming from?”
“I, I thought of it. I’m just asking.”
Kerwin asked Betty to sit next to him.
Then he said to her, “I found the kidnapper, but…”
Kerwin stopped here.
In fact, he had already found out what happened that year, but he didn’t want to tell Betty about it.
It was not that he was deliberately hiding it from her but that he didn’t want her to get involved in it and put her in danger.
“Why did you ask this?” Kerwin asked.
Betty hesitated for a moment, plucked up courage, took his hand, looked into his eyes, and said to him, “I just don’t like people misunderstanding you and thinking that you left Julia alone in the fire.”
Kerwin’s frown deepened.
He didn’t know why Betty would say those words. Was it because she was upset by the comments on the Internet and then spoke for him? Or were there other reasons?
“Don’t worry.” Kerwin held her hand, “I’ll find out the truth, but it’s not time yet.”
Kerwin’s reply was ambiguous, but Betty trusted him very much. She nodded and left the matter behind.
The next day when she was going to work,
Kerwin offered to take her to work.
When they were in the car, Kerwin suddenly asked, “Did anyone in the magazine pick on you after your identity was made public?”
Betty shook her head and said, “No. They all wanted to fawn on me after knowing I’m your wife. You know what? Yesterday I was recognized by several people in the antique exhibition. I was so embarrassed. I’m not
used to it at all.”
Kerwin was glad to know that no one picked on her. He had many enemies and fans. He was afraid that they would hurt her.
Kerwin took Betty downstairs to the magazine. Betty got out of the car and went
Then Peter said, “Mr. Martin, Mrs. Martin was in the car, so I didn’t tell you that we almost found the person who set her up two years ago. We just need some time to get to the bottom of the matter.”
Although they met some obstacles, those people who tried to hinder them were not Kerwin’s opponents after all. Although it took Peter a little longer, he was still about to find out the truth.
Kerwin was very satisfied and said, “You did a great job. Never let go of any clues. I’m waiting for your good news.”
Peter was encouraged by Kerwin and naturally felt very happy.
He added, “And we are about to find the little girl who saved you ten years ago. That dress was a limited edition and only ten people in Chicago bought it. So as long as we find the list of the ten customers, we will find that girl.”
Kerwin nodded, “Take the gloves off. Get it done.”
He was looking forward to the truth of Betty being set up two years ago. He wanted to repay the little girl who saved him.
On the other side, Betty came to the hall of the magazine, and eyes from all sides rested. on her. She ignored them. She would get used to being Mrs. Martin.
Although yesterday’s interview was not smooth, she was in a good mood today.
She hummed all the way to the office. Sarah ran to her in a panic, shouting, “Oh my God!
Oh my God! Something’s happened!”
