Chapter 187 Do You Really Not Care?
When it came to work, Bethan was always full of energy. “Don’t worry, Tristen. Mr. Locke’s treatment is almost done. Our department will soon make a name for itself in the country.”
The two chatted about work for a while.
Just then, Mason knocked and walked in, putting a cup
of afternoon coffee on the desk.
Tristen exchanged a few pleasantries and left.
Mason looked around the office. “Not bad,” he remarked.

Bethan poured him a glass of water. “Tristen’s been really good to me.”
Mason blurted out, “Any guy would treat you better than Hugh.”

Bethan made a face. “I was young and stupid, dazzled by his good looks.”
Mason leaned against the window, sipping his water. “You’re going out of your way to get them together. Megan must be over the moon.
“She gets all the perks and dumps the blame on you if something goes wrong. Aren’t you scared Sir Cavill will come after you?”
Bethan peeled an orange for him. “I don’t give a damn about Hugh, let alone that old geezer.
“As long as I can get a divorce, I’ll play the bad guy. I hope he hates me so much that he kicks me out.”
Mason stood up and put down his glass. “I’ve booked a private room at a club tonight for a little get-together. Come along after work. I’ll invite Arthur, too.”
Bethan asked, “Can I bring Megan?”
“Sure thing,” Mason replied.

After Mason left, Bethan paced back and forth by the window.
Then she made two calls, one to an old friend she hadn’t talked to in ages and the other to Megan.
Around 7 p.m., at the Regal Club, Bethan waited near the first-floor dance floor.
A young man walked up and slipped something into her hand.
She quickly stuffed it into her bag and scurried off, feeling like a common thief.
When she reached the third floor, Megan and Arthur were waiting outside the private room.
Bethan looked around the corridor. “Why didn’t you go
in?”
Megan looked a bit shy. “I don’t know anyone in there. I thought I’d wait for you.”
Arthur pulled her closer. “Bethy, you’re sweating. What’s going on?”

Bethan pushed Arthur aside and quickly tossed out an excuse. “I ran up here in a hurry, worried you’d been waiting.”
On the surface, Bethan remained calm, but inside, her nerves were on edge.
Arthur might seem like a flake, but he had a sharp eye,
She’d have to watch her step around him.
This was a golden opportunity she couldn’t afford to miss.
Bethan was determined to get Hugh and Megan into the same bed.
The three of them pushed open the door to the private room. The once-lively chatter in the room suddenly died down, replaced by an awkward silence.
“Sorry, I brought two friends along,” Bethan said with a smile as she entered the room, then introduced Megan and Arthur to everyone.

Her eyes landed on the empty seat beside Hugh.

Bethan took off her shoulder bag and was about to sit down when Mason yanked her up.
Then, he plopped Megan into the seat next to Hugh.
Bethan was caught off guard by Mason’s move and just stood there, stunned.
Gwen, who was sitting on the other side of Hugh, stood up and offered her seat, saying, “Bethan, come sit here.”
Just as Bethan was about to go over, Arthur grabbed her. “Bethy, don’t squeeze in with them.”
Bethan was completely stunned.
How could she drug Hugh from this far away?
Gwen pointed at Megan and questioned Hugh, “Hugh, with Bethan right here, what’s this all about?”
Megan, feeling embarrassed, was about to get up when Hugh grabbed her wrist and pulled her back down. 5/7

Mason pushed Gwen back into her seat. “Adult stuff. You
kids don’t understand. Just sit back and have fun.”
Everyone else in the room exchanged uncomfortable glances.
Word had spread about what happened between Megan and Hugh at the Huvale Group’s annual dinner.
So, while they were surprised to see Megan with Bethan tonight, it wasn’t completely out of the blue.
