Chapter 99 Argument

Seeing Adriel, Bethany stood frozen in place. She hadn't expected to meet him again so soon. Moreover, they were the only two people in the office! "Um... I came to find Raymond. Is he not here?" Bethany mustered her courage to look at him and asked.

"Oh, Mr. Zavala said that he needed to attend a small meeting and asked me to wait for him here. We'll have lunch together later," Adriel replied.

What? Meeting?

Was he the one who called her to come to his office?

With the realization, Bethany's mind buzzed and she suddenly stood. Then she looked up and noticed the surveillance camera in the corner of his office. Raymond must be watching them on the monitor right now, right?

Her nose tingled uncontrollably, and her eyes welled up with tears. She had planned to explain everything to Raymond before coming to the company, but it turned out he called her over for such a test. Bethany quickly forced a smile, afraid that Adriel would notice something from her reaction. She hurriedly said, "Well, I came at the wrong time. You wait here, and I'll leave first."

With that, Bethany quickly turned around and hurriedly walked out of the office. When she turned around, tears started to fall from her eyes. She hastily wiped them away and swiftly entered the elevator. At this moment, she felt like a brainless fool. She had eagerly rushed over after receiving Raymond's call, yet what was the result? It turned out to be a trap. "Ding!"

The elevator doors opened, revealing Raymond who stood outside.

She was right that he had been watching her before the monitor. Otherwise, he wouldn't show up before her as soon as she left his office.

"Raymond, what do you mean?" Bethany looked at Raymond and asked word by word. "Is it funny for you to set me up? Did you enjoy watching this drama?" Raymond knew that what he had done was not honorable, but...

"I never wanted it to progress like this."

"Did I force you to do so?" Bethany continued, "Then what conclusion have you drawn?"

From the brief conversation that she had with Adriel in the office just now, what conclusion could he draw?

"Isn't it obvious?" Raymond retorted angrily. "Do you think you've hidden it so well? Or do you take me for a fool?"

"I have never taken you for a fool. If you want to know anything, you can ask me directly. You don't have to go this far!" Bethany was genuinely furious.

"Didn't I ask you about this before?" Raymond countered, questioning her. "I repeatedly reminded you not to falsify your CV or credentials. I also asked you multiple times about your husband, but how did you respond? You said that man's name was Adriel Hamilton. Then who's Adriel Tucker?"

If it weren't that he had no choice, Raymond would not take this filthy action. He had asked her about this numerous times, but every time he only got a lie.

In the face of his questions, Bethany was suddenly lost for words. It was true that she lied to him before because she didn't want to tell him about his past at that time, nor did she have the courage to confess. She wanted to tell him everything now, but it was already too late.

"Why don't you explain further? Why are you silent?" Not receiving a response from Bethany, Raymond approached her and asked in a colder tone, "Or perhaps, are you planning to come up with more lies to deceive me? Bethany, ask yourself, how many of the things you've told me were true?t has been a web of lies from beginning to end. Are you enjoying fooling me around? Is it fun for you to act innocent in front of me?" Content

This series of questions pierced into her heart like a sharp knife. How many of her words were true?

It was a sharp question. In the past, she never thought about having a connection with this man. She had never intended to deceive him. It was just that she thought it unnecessary to tell him anything back then.

Now she genuinely wanted to be with him, but unfortunately...

"Speak to me!" Raymond shouted at her as she remained silent, which startled her.

As they were just outside the elevator, which was a public area, some employees passing by witnessed the scene and their faces turned pale with shock.

"Mr. Zavala, Mrs. Zavala..."

"Fuck off!" Raymond roared lowly.

The employees immediately

dispersed. As it would incur a negative effect as they were arguing in a public area, Raymond walked up to her grasped her wrist, and e dragged her forward. He wanted to drag her into his office.

However, Bethany resisted fiercely, struggling to break free from him. But Raymond was consumed by anger, and the fiercer Bethany struggled, the stronger his grip became. "Raymond Zavala, let go of me! Let go!" Bethany struggled desperately, exerting all her strength.

Due to her intense resistance, Raymond swung his hand forcefully and warned her, "Be obedient!"

Due to his action, plus Bethany was struggling violently, her wrist slipped down her palm and she slammed to the ground because of the momentum.

Seeing this, Raymond instinctively reached out, wanting to help her up, but his body stiffened.

Probably because she was angered

by him or because the fall had brought her pain, tears that Bethany had been holding back fell from her eyes. She struggled to stand up and stared at him, saying, "Yes, you're right. There were hardly any truthful words in what I told you before. I am a woman full of lies, hypocrisy, and cunning Adriel Hamilton... My husband was dead... These were all lie! The truth was that he abandoned me when my family was in crisis. And what about me? I was such a bitch! I couldn't forget him even after so many years. I dropped from Masston Medical Institute and came back to Parkville to find him, but I failed and met you later. At first, I never thought of marrying you, but later on, when I realized I couldn't find him and you were wealthy and good to my children, I decided to accept you. Why not? All my rejections were just my tricks of playing hard to get, and all my

aloofness was just an act. I am a

despicable bitch, an incredibly

despicable bitch. Are you satisfied

now?"

"B-E-T-H-A-N-Y!" Hearing the words, Raymond's veins bulged instantly, and he even had an impulse to strangle her.

Bethany felt her emotions on the verge of collapse. Her whole body trembled intensely, and she could barely hold herself together. Without saying anything more, she ran out tearfully.

However, as she ran outside the company, she suddenly lost all her strength and nearly collapsed by the roadside. She had to stop to catch her breath.

But at this moment, a car stopped beside her, followed by the sound of the car door opening, and then...

"Are you okay?" Adriel's concerned voice reached her ears.

Just a moment ago, Morgan told him that he didn't need to wait for Raymond anymore as the lunch appointment was canceled. So, Adriel immediately left. Bethany, in her disheveled state, least wanted to see Adriel. But the reality was that he had seen such a messy aspect of her.

Was this also Raymond's arrangement? Did he want to test if Adriel could still restrain himself when seeing her like this?

Hahaha... Bethany laughed self-mockingly in her heart. Looking at Adriel who stood before her, she suddenly understood the true colors of these men.
