Chapter 85 A Nightmare
Last night, Bethany angrily told Raymond not to throw the gift box in front of her even if he had to.
And, he had really thrown it away as soon as he returned to the company.
Looking at the gift box lying in the trash can, Bethany felt inexplicably unhappy.
From her own perspective, she couldn't accept such a valuable gift, but from Raymond's perspective,
such a carefully prepared gift was rejected, so he would naturally get angry.
Now, Bethany couldn't help but regret it. She thought, "If I happily accepted it last night, everyone
would be delighted, right?
I'm really too sentimental!"
Suddenly, there was another knock at the door. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
Bethany subconsciously and quickly picked up the gift box from the trash can and put it in her pocket
as the knock came.
After coming back to her senses, Bethany wanted to tell him not to let the man in until she left.
Unexpectedly, Raymond said directly, "Come in."
The one who came in was the deputy president of the group, and upon seeing Bethany there, he
respectfully said, "Mr. Zavala, Mrs. Zavala."
Bethany couldn't believe that people in Raymond's company had actually addressed her by Mrs.
Zavala.
Before Bethany could say anything, the man had looked over at the congee she had put on the coffee
table and asked a little nervously, "Should I come in later?"
"No." Bethany felt embarrassed again, and she thought, "I really shouldn't have listened to Ainsley.
Why did I come to him with the congee during working hours? I must have lost my mind."
With that in mind, she said, "I just came by here. Continue your work, please." Bethany had thought
that Raymond would say something, but he was still reading the document with his head down, leaving
her embarrassed. "I won't disturb your work. I'll leave right away."
With that, Bethany fled quickly from his office, still embarrassed.
Meanwhile, she thought, "This man is really stingy. I just displeased him a little bit, but he tried
everything to embarrass me."
Bethany walked out of the Zavala Group as quickly as she could and then took the gift box from her
pocket.
Looking at it, she thought, "I don't know why I picked it up from the trash can at that time.
When I heard the knock at the door, I just thought that I had to leave there since there would be
someone else in the office. In that case, I would have no chance of picking it up again.
So..."
Thinking of this, Bethany couldn't help but scold herself, "Bethany Caldwell, are you not ashamed?
When he gave you this, you refused it, but after he threw it, you picked it up."
Even Bethany herself couldn't understand her behavior now. After a moment's thought, she dropped it
casually into a nearby trash can.
Then she strode away, but after only a few steps, she returned.
Meanwhile, she scolded, "Bethany, you're really cheap!"
Bethany braced herself to pick up the gift box again. She said to herself, "After all, it's very expensive,
so it's really a pity to throw it away like this."
Last night, Raymond had only opened the gift box, and Bethany had only glanced at the watch inside
casually. When she got home, she took the watch out of the gift box.
She turned it over and saw her name on the back.
It was a specially customized watch.
"I have never celebrated a birthday with such dedication for anyone in my entire life!"
Suddenly, Raymond's words rang in her mind. Thinking of his words, Bethany looked at the watch
again.
Bethany was also quite angry with herself. Now thinking from Raymond's perspective, she finally
understood why he would be so angry.
She said to herself, "Bethany, why did you have such a shameful past?
It is my past that makes me hesitate, and I'm ashamed to tell it to a man.
I once married a man in a vegetative state in the hope that the joyous event could hasten his recovery,
and I did not even know his name or appearance.
I then gave birth to three children, but it was confirmed that they were not his. I was humiliated by my
mother-in-law as a slut, and after losing a child, I pretended to be dead and fled in a fluster.
I came back after six years to look for my lost son.
I'm afraid no one will believe such words, right?
It would be great if I could really sever everything from the past, but I have to go find Mrs. Gina.
What if my husband is still alive? Then...
Well, I guess no normal man would accept a woman with such a past, right?
Not to mention Raymond.
It's so annoying!"
Thinking of her past, Bethany felt very fidgety. She simply stopped doing anything and went to bed.
Unexpectedly, she had a dream.
In her dream, she was wearing a wedding dress. Covered in a veil and holding a bouquet, she stepped
on the roses and walked towards him step by step.
In the sunshine, Raymond, dressed in a groom's gown, looked incredibly handsome with a charming
and doting smile.
She walked over to him, and he reached out and took her hand. He then leaned over and kissed her on
the lips.
It was a sweet kiss.
Then he knelt on one knee and put a ring on her finger. Meanwhile, he said affectionately, "Bethany, I
will always be with you from now on. I will not let you suffer any grievance. I will make you the happiest
woman in the world."
Hearing that, Bethany smiled very happily. Just at that moment, something unexpected happened.
"Melisa Hamilton, you bitch!"
Gina rushed over while cursing and then slapped her hard in the face.
"Listen, everyone. This bitch is not named Bethany Caldwell. Her real name is Melisa Hamilton. Back
then, she married my son to save his life, but she actually cheated on him. I thought she was dead in
the delivery room, but she fooled me! Now, this bitch is still unrepentant and is even committing fraud
again. Don't be deceived by her. She is a lying, shameless slut. She shouldn't exist in this world!"
In an instant, the guests all threw everything in their hands at Bethany while pointing at her and cursing
angrily.
"Now that you've married, how dare you deceive another man? Such a fraud like you should go to
hell!"
"Isn't she the daughter of a criminal who committed suicide? Just like her father, she's also a criminal!"
"You're right. Such a bitch should be put to death. Let's give her a lesson!"
In an instant, everyone started to punch Bethany. She struggled to take Raymond's hand and hurriedly
explained, "Ray, believe me, I'm not a fraud. I didn't deceive you..."
"Fuck off!" Raymond kicked her away before she could finish speaking. "Bethany, I never thought you
were such a woman. You make me feel sick and dirty!"
"No, Ray, listen to me. Listen to me, please..."
"You bitch, what else do you want to say?" Noticing the arrival of the police, Raymond turned and said
to them, "Hurry up and take this fraud away. I don't want to see her again."
"Melisa Hamilton, you are suspected of bigamy and fraud. Come with us."
"No, I didn't..." Bethany struggled to grasp Raymond's hand, but he walked away without looking back.
She was then dragged along by two police officers as she struggled to free herself.
"No, let go of me! I'm not a fraud!"
Bethany woke up from a nightmare with a scream, and then she heard Shayla's voice.
"What's wrong, Beth? Did you have a nightmare?"
Hearing that, Bethany thought in surprise, "Shayla? Isn't she experiencing life in the countryside now?"
For a moment, she was so bewildered that she even thought she was still in her dream.
