Contract Marriage With The Disabled CEO

Chapter 172

Chapter 172 Collapsed

Betty slumped on the toilet lid in the bathroom and kept shaking all over. She felt extremely cold and was in a cold sweat.

The past haunted her like a nightmare, preventing her from enjoying her happy life. She just got Kerwin’s love, but was knocked down by the cruel reality immediately.

In the office, Sarah became angrier when she saw the interview video, and she cursed, “Where are their bloody ethics? How can they uncover others’ pasts like this? They know nothing. They are just troublemakers! Bah!”

Originally, Betty needed to shoot a hotel’s opening ceremony. Jeffrey knew the thing on Twitter but couldn’t reach Betty. He was very anxious.

He came to the office and only saw Betty’s cell phone on the desk. He asked Sarah where Betty was. Sarah whispered to him that Betty might be in the bathroom for a while and that she seemed to be crying.

Jeffrey immediately turned around and went out.

Jessica glanced at Jeffrey’s receding figure and had a guess. She always felt that the relationship between Betty and Jeffrey was very strange.

Kevin said to Jessica, “Mr. Martin really cares about Betty. Betty is quite charming. Why didn’t I notice that?”

Sarah said, “If either of Kerwin and Mr.

Martin loves me, I can stand being scolded like that!”

Jessica shook her head with a helpless look and went on working.

Jeffrey came to the bathroom door and waited for Betty to come out.

While waiting, he suddenly thought of the time when they were in college.

At that time, Betty was as pure as a flower, blooming so brilliantly.

She took part in the long-distance race at the sports meeting that year, but she accidentally twisted her ankle. He was worried and asked her to quit the race, but she insisted on finishing it.

So he followed her and ran to the finish line with her.

The moment she reached the finish line, she fell to the ground. Jeffrey picked her up and ran to the infirmary with her in his arms.

At that time, Betty nestled in his arms, docile and cute.

Thinking of this, Jeffrey couldn’t help sighing. They would never have such a day again. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Goodbye to his youth.

He would never see Betty like that again, would he?

Jeffrey waited outside the bathroom for a while, and Betty came out with swollen eyes.

Jeffrey hurriedly walked forward to comfort her. He carefully supported Betty who was tired and could feel that she was cold all over.

“Betty, I’m sorry.”

Betty looked up at Jeffrey whose eyes were full of love.

Betty replied, “For what?”

Jeffrey said sorry to her for Emily, but he couldn’t tell her that the person who set her up was her biological sister. He was afraid that she couldn’t accept it and would be devastated.

If Emily hadn’t set Betty up like that, Betty would be the president’s wife proudly.

Jeffrey said, “I’m not qualified to love you because I failed to protect you. So I’m sorry.”

“It has nothing to do with you.” Betty said weakly, “What can I do for you? Why are you here?”

Jeffrey was here to comfort Betty, but he found that she was crying. She must feel terrible.

Jeffrey said, “Oh, you are going to interview at the opening ceremony of Wilton Hotel this morning, right? If it’s inconvenient for you, I’ll let others take the job. Would you like a day off today?”

So he was here to comfort her. Betty knew

Jeffrey very well. She could understand every move and expression of him. She looked at him gratefully.

Betty said, “Thank you, but I think I can hold on and do that. Since I’ve been arranged for the interview, I’d better go. I don’t want any gossip about me in the office anymore.”

“Betty…”

Betty bowed her head and walked away slowly.

Jeffrey wanted to hug her and make her feel more comfortable, but he was afraid that such a move would cause more speculations and gossip, so he had to dispel the idea and watch her walk away step by step with heartache.

Betty returned to the office, covered her red swollen eyes with light makeup, and went out with Sarah and Kevin.

She saw Kerwin’s call, thought for a moment, and ignored it.

She didn’t know how to face him in a mixed mood.

None of them chatted and joked all the way, and it was quiet in the car.

After getting out of the car, they came to the opening ceremony of Wilton Hotel.

Many media and celebrities came here and recognized Betty. They all cast scornful and disgusted eyes on her.

Sarah said, “Betty, ignore them. They are just too idle and bored!”

Kevin also comforted her, “Betty, smile, piss them off! You did nothing wrong. Don’t be afraid of them. They have probably also done a lot of stupid things! Humph!”

Sarah was afraid that Kevin’s words might sting Betty, so she stopped him hurriedly, “Kevin, enough. Start working!”

Kevin glanced at Betty’s extremely pale face and hurriedly stopped talking.

Betty walked listlessly to the main hall.

Along the way, she heard a lot of people’s ridicules and howls of derision.

“She still has the nerve to show up here?

What a shameless bi*ch! She’s a disgrace to the Martin family!”

“Look, our influencer is here! But she’s just a tramp of ill fame! How cheeky she is! If I were her, I would have killed myself.”

“She is Kerwin’s wife. Betty Fund? Hah, what a big joke! How many times has she cuckolded Kerwin?”

“She’s of average figure. Who would sleep with her? Her mother is a tramp, a homewrecker.”

“I heard that she had slept with countless men and was extremely dirty…”

Countless disdainful eyes stung Betty like needles.

Betty felt like her legs were as heavy as iron pillars. These people’s words whipped her like whips dipped in salt.

She failed to protect herself and her mother was abused and ridiculed because of her.

Amid countless abuse and disdain, the opening ceremony began. The sounds of gongs and drums echoed in the hall. It was so lively.

The happy music and laughter… hammered

Betty’s heart. In the desolation behind the lively scene, she leaned against the corner and looked at the blue sky. She wished she could turn into a bird and disappear.

Tears ran down her cheeks again.

At this moment, she missed Kerwin so much. and longed to see him appear next to her right now.
