Chapter 32 Her Identity Was Exposed
Hearing what she said, Raymond felt that he troubled trouble.
"Don't look at me like that. Since I'm your private doctor, I have to be responsible for your physical
condition. All right, I'll go ask your assistant for your medical records. I'll leave you to it."
"Mark my words, be on call 24/7. If you disappear again like you did last time, I won't go easy on you!"
"Got it." Bethany also kindly reminded him, "The key to keeping healthy is having control of your own
emotions. If you want to live longer, you must learn to control your emotions. People who have a short
fuse often pass away at a younger age."
With that being said, Bethany turned to go out. Raymond smiled bitterly. This woman was getting
increasingly bold!
Morgan worked efficiently. Soon, Bethany got Raymond's medical records, and then she left the
hospital. Just when she was about to get in a cab, a voice sounded behind her.
"Ms. Caldwell."
Bethany hurriedly looked back. To her surprise, it was Karter Shepard.
"Mr. Shepard, what are you doing here? Are you here for Ray?" She and Raymond faked a relationship
in front of him after all, so she had to call Raymond in an intimate way.
"I'm not here for him, but for you." This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Me?" Bethany was surprised to the core.
"Yup, why don't we find a place to sit down so that we can have a word?"
"Okay..." Bethany didn't have any chance to refuse.
The two of them found a quiet cafe and took seats in a private room.
"Mr. Shepard, what can I do for you?" Karter went out of the way to see her, and her gut told her that it
was not about something good.
"Ms. Caldwell, do you remember the last time you went to my home, I told you that I seemed to have
seen you somewhere else in the past, remember?"
Bethany's heart was suddenly in her throat as soon as she heard that. Did he remember it? But that
was impossible!
She didn't remember that they had actually met each other at one time. Where could it be?
"You indeed said that, but I really don't remember where I met you before."
"After all, it has been so many years, so it's normal for you not to remember it."
So many years? Did he really know everything now?
"Mr. Shepard, what... what do you mean?"
"Bethany, take it easy. It's understandable for you to change your name. After all, the Hamilton family
suffered so much from that incident back then."
As expected, ...
Bethany was tongue-tied for a while. Karter was really something. Never in her wildest dreams did she
expect that the first one to blow her cover would be Karter.
"Don't worry. I haven't mentioned this to anyone, including my wife and Aria. They are not in the know."
Bethany bit her lower lip hard, and a sense of shame washed over her. After a long time, she said, "Mr.
Shepard, now that you already know, I have nothing to hide. I am Melisa Hamilton. I indeed wanted to
start a new life by changing my name."
"I know." Karter picked up the coffee cup and took a sip before putting it down slowly, saying,
"Everyone has a miserable history that is kept a secret. I can't empathize with you in terms of your past
experiences, but I can understand it. However... Bethany, don't blame me for speaking without a filter.
I'm simply telling the truth. Ray lost his father when he was very young. I treat him as if he were my
own son, and he also treats me like a father, otherwise he wouldn't have specially taken you to my
home. "
"Right." Bethany had already known what he was going to say next, so she said, "You think he's out of
my colleague based on my identity, and you want me to leave him, don't you?"
"Sort of." Karter stated, "You're also well aware of Ray's identity. Even if he is not with Aria, his
significant other should be a young lady of a noble family. As far as I know, you still have kids, and the
kids' father seems unknown."
If she had feelings for Raymond now, after hearing what his family said like this, she would certainly
feel distressed. Nonetheless, they had no feelings for each other in reality, so she was angry at Karter's
blunt words and disrespect.
"Mr. Shepard, I understand how you, as an elder, feel. You want your son to find a good wife, but
Raymond is not a kid. He has his own judgment. If he thinks we don't match, I will leave him without
hesitation as long as he asks for it."
Hearing her remarks, Karter smiled with a touch of displeasure and then said, "So you mean you will
not leave him?"
"Yes." Bethany said firmly, "In fact, this is exactly what we can see in the soap operas. The trick is quite
old. I think you should respect him at least."
"Well, let me ask you, does Ray know that you are Melisa Hamilton? Does he know who your children's
father is? Or, do you have the gut to tell him about how you got your children?"
These questions were sharp!
"In this relationship, you didn't make a clean breast of your history. You deceived him. If he knows the
truth, he will make the same choice as me. Why do you have to make things difficult for yourself, Ms.
Caldwell? If you quit now, you can still keep dignity for yourself and for your children."
"Then may I take the liberty of asking you a question, Mr. Shepard?"
"Go ahead."
"If it were a real young lady of a noble family being with Ray instead of me, would you willingly wish
them happiness? Would you really accept his girlfriend?"
"Of course."
"Just because the girl's family is rich? Just because the two families are of equal social rank? So you
ignore his own feelings?"
"Since he chose to be with her, he certainly had feelings for her."
"In that case, why don't you believe that we truly love each other? Since he really has feelings for me,
why are you trying to cast me out? Aren't you worried he would be sad?"
"Bethany, you surprise me. You actually have a glib tongue."
"I'm just telling the truth."
"The truth is that you lied to him. I still wanna ask, do you dare to tell him the truth?"
"Of course!" Bethany was not afraid of losing Raymond, so why didn't she?
"Mr. Shepard, if you don't believe what I said, we can go to Zavala Group now. I can tell him my real
identity right in front of you. If he chooses not to forgive me, I'll leave immediately. On the contrary, if he
accepts it, I won't expect to get your blessing, but it's hoped that you won't get in the way of our
relationship."
Karter suddenly lost his tongue. He was astonished that this girl was actually a hard nut to crack!
After that, his gaze shifted down and saw the file bag Bethany had placed on the table. On the bag
read "Raymond Zavala's medical records".
Karter hurriedly looked away. He then picked up his coffee and took another sip. When he put down the
cup, his hand trembled, and he pushed the cup forward. As a result, the coffee spilled on Bethany.
