Bethany pursed her lips. As she was about to say something, Jenna narrowed her eyes, "Mommy, let me teach her a lesson for you!”
Hearing the hostility in her words, Bethany frowned.
She suddenly realized that the little girl was a little too violent.
"Jen!” Bethany sized Jenna's face, looked down, and said seriously while looking at her, "Listen to me. This is my problem. I will deal with it myself.
You don't have to do anything, and you mustn't do it without me knowing, got It?”
She had always known that Jenna was a little too intelligent and mature for her age. However, being precocious doesn't mean that his mind and psychological will mature together.
She doesn't want her to have too much exposure to the dark world of adults because of her. It will not be beneficial for his growth.
She even began to regret asking her to investigate Joanna: Luckily, she had realized it early. She should not repeat this mistake in the future.
The little one didn't know what she was thinking about. Seeing that she was being so serious, she didn't dare to make her angry. She added her little head obediently, "Okay, mommy!”
"Good girl!” A smile reappeared on Bethany's face.
"Okay, go play. I'm going to give Rosa a call. ” Bethany took out her phone.
Jenna jumped down the chair, pulled her little hand, and went to the living room together to watch.
Bethany told her the details about Change Studio.
After the two discussed, they decided to sue Change Studio in the name of plagiarising design.
By tomorrow, Joanna would have received the summon from the court.
Bethany laughed when she thought about it, However, she didn't intend to reveal herself for this court case and gave Rosa full authority to deal with this.
She didn't want to expose that she was the designer that Joanna had been scouting for.
The next day. In the office, Bethany was drawing the design draft she had promised to Compensate Zayn. Suddenly, the landline on her desk rang.
She didn't stop drawing and picked up the phone with her other hand, “Hello, Bethany speaking.”
"Ms. Quest, I'm calling from the front desk lobby,” A gentle and pleasant a female voice said.
Bethany didn't move her head as she replied, "Do you need anything?
“Yes. A lady is looking for you."
"A lady?" Bethany froze for a while, What's her full name?
"The lady doesn't want to reveal.”
“She asked me to tell you to meet her at he Bana Cafe in ten minutes.”
"okay. Got it. ” Bethany hung up the phone and bit her lip in thought.
A lady who didn't want to reveal her name. Why was she so mysterious?
Who was it?
After thinking about it for a while, she put down the pencil. Then, she stood up, took her bag, and decided to meet the lady.
Bana cafe was right next door to the office building of the Blue Ridge Group Within a few minutes, Bethany arrived there When she went in, she saw only one person sitting by the window.
The woman's back was to her, and she couldn't see her face. The woman Wore a cheongsam with her hair tied up, dressing like a noblewoman.
This must be the lady that was looking for her, right?
As she thought, Bethany walked Over, Hello. Are you the person who is looking for me?”
The noblewoman put down the coffee in her hand looked up at Bethany didn't reply.
Bethany also stared at her.
The woman was in her fifties, but her skin well maintained. She was also good-looking, but her cheekbones were slightly high, making her look a little mean and unapproachable.
"Are you Bethany Quest?" The noblewoman finally spoke with an indifferent tone.
She nodded, "Yes, I am."
"As expected, you look like a vixen.
The noblewoman snorted coldly in disdain Bethany's action of pulling the chair Suddenly paused, and she frowned slightly.
However, she regained her naturalness and calmly pulled the chair to sit down. She smiled and replied,
Thank you for the compliment, ma'am.”
"When did I compliment you?" The noblewoman looked puzzled.
Bethany put her hair behind her ear “just now, you said that I look like a vixen, no? Everybody knows that a vixen is a compliment to someone's beauty. It's no longer a derogatory term. Do you not go online often?
The noblewoman's expression changed. How could she not understand that Bethany was implying that she was an old-fashioned person who didn't know how to surf the Internet and keep up with the times?
She slammed on the table angrily,
“What a witty mouth! You don't even know how to respect your elders. I don't understand how my son can fall for a A woman like you!”
"Ha?” Bethany was confused, "Your Does Son like me? Madam, who is your Son?"
The noblewoman pursed her thin lips, "Bent Meyer. I'm his mother.”
When she heard the name Bethany's expression immediate sank, "No wonder you two are mother and son”
Her son was conniving and cunning, while the mother was mean-spirited and arrogant. She wondered what her husband or the son's father was like too.
"What do you mean? Sapphira Grand frowned.
Bethany smiled again, but it was obvious that it was not a genuine smile,
"Nothing. It was a compliment for the two of you. Sapphira narrowed her eyes and looked at her with some suspicion.
Bethany took a sip from a glass of water from the table, Okay, Madam Meyer you still haven't told me why you are looking for me?
Sapphira leaned back lazily, “I Just want to come and see the woman who got my son beaten and got sent to the hospital. And now that I've seen you, as expected..."
“Wait a minute. ” Bethany raised her hand to interrupt her, “Madam Meyer, I don't agree with what you just said What do you mean by saying he got beaten and sent to the hospital because of me? He's the one looking for it. He tried to harm me and got beaten up by Zayn.
“Hmph!”Eleanor sheered, “It's a blessing for you for my son to like you.
If you had been obedient and submissive, would Zayn beat him up?”
Bethany was stunned, “Madam Meyer, according to you, if Bent offered to let me be with him, no matter if I like it or not, I will have to agree. Is that what you mean?”
“You're not good enough for my son. Sapphira raised her chin and looked at her with contempt, My son can play with you. But if he were to be together with you, I would be the first one to disagree. I've investigated you before l came. From What I know, you are not as obedient as you seem!”
"Why do you say that? Bethany rubbed the glass in her hands with a profound look in Her eyes.
Sapphira folded her arms and sneered, "You've only joined the Blue Ridge
Group for a month but already have several scandals, all related to my son and Zayn. So, it's clear what your purpose is.
You just want to hook up With either of them so that you can marry into the Meyer family. Let me tell you this. You can stop dreaming!”
After saying that, she opened her expensive bag and took out a cheque, slamming it onto the table in front of Bethany.
Bethany looked down and glanced at it, "Bitch, this is. Take it and leave the Blue Ridge Group. Leave Zayn and my son,”
Sapphira said to her with a look of haughty derision.
Bethany smiled, “It's only five hundred thousand dollars. Madam Meyer, don't you think this amount
doesn't fit with your identity?"
What she was implying was that how could a noblewoman from a big family give out this tiny amount of
money?”
Sapphira's expression sank, “Then how much do you want?”
Bethany waved her finger, "I don't need your money. Madam Meyer, I don't think you know how much my
design drawings are worth. My royalty payments are at least millions. And..."
"And what? ” Sapphira's expression was becoming uglier. She didn't understand. Just how clothes are designed, how could they be Worth that much?
That little bitch Danica also didn't tell her about this before she came, making her make a fool of herself.
Bethany played with the coffee spoon carelessly, "You said it earlier too. The reason why I approached
Zayn and Bent was to marry into the Meyer family. l can get millions of dollars no matter I marry which of them.
So why should I give up those just because you offered me a few hundred thousand dollars?”
"You!” Sapphira was choked by her words. However, she had to admit that
Bethany had a point. It was a choice that any smart person would have made.
However, that didn't mean that the Meyer's family would accept that choice.
Thinking about that, Sapphira slammed her palm on the table and stood up, "What a shameless woman! Do you think you can marry into the Meyer family just because you want to? You've been going after the two of them at the same time. Just based on this, Neither I nor Bent's father will accept you!"
"It's okay. Without Bent, I can still go for Zayn. He is richer too,” Bethany
smiled and spoke.
Sapphira was furious beyond words, Don't even think about Zayn. “He's already engaged."
“Even if he's engaged, it can be broken off too." Bethany kept calm and maintained the smile on her face to retaliate. “Even I know this simple fact. But Madam Meyer, you...”
