Chapter 313 Alina Potter
For the rest of the party, Bethan led Henry around, wandering with a few others.
When Henry got bored and wanted to find Barry to
play, Bethan finally noticed both Barry and Arthur were missing.
She asked around, and a server said he’d just seen the two head upstairs.
Mason, standing nearby, said casually, “Hugh went upstairs too. You think the three of them are together?”
Gwen scoffed. “No way. Mr. Locke and Hugh start bickering the second they lock eyes. And Barry looks at him like he’s his archenemy. Those three? Together? Not a chance.”
Bethan and Calvin exchanged a look.
Her heart skipped a beat. She had a bad feeling.
Ever since her divorce drama with Hugh and Hugh injuring Barry’s wrist, Barry had been obsessedh 09:48

martial arts. He’d even gone to his martial arts class the day before his SAT.
Add Arthur to the mix… If those two went upstairs, they were definitely gunning for Hugh.
With that thought, Bethan quickly handed Henry to Calvin and raced upstairs to find them.
Mason, Calvin, and Gwen exchanged glances and hurried
after her.
Not far away, Philbert noticed the commotion and followed with a few guests.
Bethan reached the second floor and sprinted down the hallway, checking every room.
Hugh wasn’t someone to mess with. If Barry and Arthur picked a fight with him, he wouldn’t hold back.
Just then, a loud crash came from a room ahead.
She was about to rush over and yank the door open when it burst open from the inside, and Arthur stumbled out, disheveled and messy.

Bethan froze, staring in disbelief at Arthur sprawled on the hallway floor.
Arthur looked just as shocked to see Bethan and the crowd behind her.
Mason was the first to react, rushing over to help him up. “What the hell happened to you?”
Arthur pointed weakly at the room.
Bethan and Mason locked eyes before she hurried inside.
The place looked like a tornado had hit it-total chaos.
Hugh and Barry were scrambling to clean up the mess.
Bethan grabbed Barry, worried sick, and asked, “What the hell went down here?”
Barry and Hugh said in unison, “Nothing.”
After speaking, Barry snuck out of the room, guilty as charged.

Arthur rubbed his sore back and complained. “Why’d he only go after me? You got off scot-free!”
Barry tried to smooth things over. “Arthur, don’t be
mad. Next time we’ll switch. You defend. I’ll attack. We’ll totally take him down.”
The two shut up fast when they saw Hugh and Bethan walk out of the room.
Elsie noticed Henry hugging Barry and calling him “uncle.” Too scared to stir up trouble herself, she whispered to her two friends.
One of them spoke up. “Why’s Mr. Byron’s son calling Dr. Olsen’s brother ‘uncle’? Are Dr. Olsen and Mr. Byron about to announce something?”
Elsie’s other friend turned to Bethan, pretending to be curious. “Dr. Olsen, you just divorced Mr. Cavill. You moving on that fast?”
Gwen started to step forward, but Mason pulled her back.
Calvin frowned and moved to Bethan’s side, ready to speak, but Bethan stopped him.

Seeing Bethan stay quiet, Elsie couldn’t hold back anymore. “Dr. Olsen, you’re not really thinking about becoming a stepmom, are you?”
Bethan stood her ground, staring coldly at Elsie.
Her voice was sharp with warning. “Elsie, whether I become a stepmom or find someone new, it’s none of your damn business.”
Elsie glanced around at the onlookers and clamped her
mouth shut.
She watched as Hugh walked straight toward Bethan, and jealousy bit at her lips.
Hugh was gorgeous, from a top family, brilliant, and successful. What woman wouldn’t want him?
She liked Hugh for years but never had the guts to say it. She was a bastard child; she wasn’t good enough.
After Hugh’s divorce and Megan’s conviction, she thought she finally had a shot. Even though Hugh was a powerful Cavill, he was divorced.

So she begged Frank to help her marry him. But the Cavill family already made a deal with the Potter family.
Still, as head of the Davis family, Frank tried setting her up with other guys. Weirdly, none of the heirs from the eight big families ever looked at her twice.
She refused to accept it.
Hugh’s expression was dark as he blocked Bethan’s path. “I need to talk to you.”
Calvin took the hint and left with Henry.
Once everyone was gone, only Hugh and Bethan remained in the second-floor hallway.
Hugh said, “Even if you hadn’t come up, I wouldn’t have hurt Barry.”
Bethan let out a bitter laugh. “Hugh, you’ve already hurt him before. Don’t act like you wouldn’t do it again.”
Hugh’s shoulders slumped. He had no comeback for that.

He took a tentative step closer. “That time was an accident. Besides, Barry got his revenge. He hurt me too.”
He looked into her eyes. “Bethan, can’t we just let the past go?”
Bethan stepped back, her gaze unwavering.
“The pain you caused me and my family?” She said firmly. “I’ll never forget it.
“If you want me to let it go,’ you’ll have to wait until I’m dead.”
Bethan didn’t spare a glance at the pain in his eyes. She turned and walked away, no hesitation.
Hugh grabbed her wrist instinctively.
Bethan spun around.
Their eyes met, tense and sharp.
Hugh asked, “When everyone was accusing you of being with Calvin… why didn’t you deny it?”
