Chapter 846 Steven Letting Go of Betty
Betty leaned against the railing, watching Richard.
A group of people surrounded him, asking all sorts of questions, trying to get close and familiar with him. Richard was clearly not used to this; under the lights, a fine layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
He looked at Betty for help.
But Betty just smiled and raised her glass.
She thought he had to get used to it.
Jasmine also breathed a sigh of relief, holding Ethan's arm and moving to the side. As long as no one dared to bully Richard, everything would be fine.
"Did you know from the beginning that he was Arnold's son?" Steven walked up to Betty and asked.
"No." Betty rolled her eyes at Steven. "When I fell in love with him, he was just a soldier... the one who saved me."
"But he didn't love me. The person he loved was too selfish and didn't deserve him, so I dared to make a move on him," Betty said softly.
"Do you also have moments of self-doubt?" Steven was a bit surprised.
"Yes, when you truly love someone, you will feel inferior, always thinking you're not good enough for them, thinking they deserve a better life, not to be mixed up with someone like me, especially since it's not safe with me," Betty lowered her head and spoke again. "But later I realized, the people around him were all scum. If I didn't be with him, he seemed like he would always have a miserable life, so I had to pursue him."
Betty admitted that her pursuit of Richard had some tactics involved.
No matter how it started, the ending was good.
"Richard..." Steven looked at Richard. "He deserves it."
Betty looked at Steven and raised her chin. "Finally decided to give up?"
Steven looked at Betty. "My love for you is no less than his."
Betty did not deny it.
"It's just not as persistent and passionate as his, he's great, he deserves it, what he can give you, I can't, so Betty, I'm letting go," Steven smiled helplessly.
During the years he was missing, it was Betty who supported him as a belief to come back.
He thought, Betty would definitely be waiting for him, she would never abandon him.
But after surviving and coming back, everything had changed.
So he was furious, he really thought about killing Richard.
But now, he compromised.
He admitted that Richard was more suitable for Betty than he was.
So he let go.
"Steven, after everything with the Hughes family is resolved, you deserve to be happy too, whether it's with a man or a woman, I wish you well," Betty couldn't help but tease Steven, but her blessing was genuine.
Steven looked at hery helplessly. "I've explained to you many times, I don't like men."
"No need to explain, I understand," Betty patted Steven's shoulder, smiling.
Steven gritted his teeth, fine.
He now deeply suspected that Betty was deliberately ruining his reputation.
Over there, Richard was surrounded by a group of people, wanting to find Betty but couldn't get away.
Hesaw Betty and Steven talking and laughing, Betty even patting Steven's shoulder, and a wave of jealousy instantly surged.
"Look, so many women surrounding him, aren't you afraid he'll cheat after his identity is exposed?" Steven tried to turn the tables.
Betty raised an eyebrow. "Even if you married a man, he wouldn't cheat."
Steven took a deep breath and held it in.
"Honey." Richard couldn't bear it any longer, rushed over, held Betty's hand, and hugged her, looking at Steven warily.
Steven looked at Richard with disdain, as if he was always ready to take Betty away. "Hey, Richard... no, I should call you Caspian, treat Betty well, or I'll take her away anytime."
"You won't have the chance," Richard warned.
Steven nodded. "Fine, I hope you keep your word, I'll be watching you."
Richard said nothing, holding Betty in his arms.
Steven turned and left with a smile.
To be honest, he felt quite painful, like a bit of a heartbreak.
Leaving the Sanders family banquet, Steven stood alone by the car, smoking.
Night had fallen, the wind wasn't strong, and it was comfortable.
From childhood to adulthood, he was used to being alone, but after surviving and coming back, he was still alone.
"Steven!" Someone called him from behind.
He turned around and saw Brade's slightly angry face approaching him, and the next second, a knife stabbed into his abdomen.
Well, it not only meant he was still alone, but also that Brade, who had always competed with him and wanted to kill him, was still there.
"Kavi is out," Brade whispered in Steven's ear. "I really want to kill you."
Brade really wanted to kill Steven, but he also knew that without Steven, he couldn't fight Kavi alone.
"After we deal with Kavi, I'll kill you," Brade's obsession with killing Steven was no less than his obsession with Betty.
Steven leaned against the car door, sitting on the ground, his abdomen covered in blood, but it wasn't his blood, it was from the blood pack Brade crushed in his hand, and the knife was fake too.
Brade didn't forget to kick Steven hard before turning and running away.
He has to create the appearance of being at odds with Steven; otherwise, given Kavi's level of suspicion, he would definitely be suspected.
He still needed to stay by Kavi's side, otherwise, he wouldn't know any of Kavi's movements.
Steven gritted his teeth, holding his stomach, this time he was really kicked hard!
Once the matter with Kavi is settled, he will also need to have a serious reckoning with Brade!
Silverlight City, Ryan's residence.
The Willer family group chat was buzzing with excitement, Abigai was going crazy in the chat, saying it was impossible for Richard to be the Sanders family's heir, it was impossible.
Ryan looked at his phone, surprised for a long time, then checked the news and saw that Arnold had indeed held a press conference, announcing that Richard was the only son of the Sanders family.
Smiling helplessly, Ryan looked at the table full of food. "Why did you take the initiative to cook today?"
Fiona, wearing an apron, walked out happily. "Because you've been working hard lately."
Ryan felt a tightness in his chest. He always felt that Fiona might leave at any moment.
"Why were you laughing just now?" Fiona asked.
"Betty's parents always looked down on Richard, saying he had no family background and wasn't good enough for Betty. Guess what?" Ryan smiled, trying to make Fiona happy. "Richard had a hidden identity, he's Arnold's only son."
Fiona wasn't very surprised.
"You knew?" Ryan was stunned.
"I heard Nolan mention it before, but everyone kept it a secret, so I'm sorry, I didn't tell you," Fiona said softly.
Ryan smiled helplessly. "I just thought it was funny, wanted to see my family's reaction now."
No matter how hard Richard tried to impress them before, they always looked down on him. Now, they were all shocked by Richard's true identity.
"Ryan, go wash your hands," Fiona told Ryan to wash his hands.
Ryan was stunned for a moment, having a wife seemed nice.
But Fiona was thinking this would be their last meal together.
