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.
