Contract Marriage With The Disabled CEO
Chapter 39 The Incident That Happened Two Years Ago Bettyâs face turned pale. âYou also know what happened two years ago, right?â
If Kerwin had investigated Betty, he must knew about that incident that happened two years ago.
Kerwin looked at Bettyâs pale face and said, âI know what happened.â
He knew what had happened two years ago, but he had only heard the rumored version and had not investigated it in depth.
He didnât investigate at first because he didnât care. Later, he didnât investigate because he wanted Betty to tell him herself.
Bettyâs face turned paler as she forced a smile. âIf you knew that, why did you still want to marry me?â
âAt first, it was because I didnât care.â Looking at Betty, Kerwin didnât want to hide his true feelings. âI only needed a wife. And a gold-digger is easy for me to control.â
Kerwinâs true thoughts made Betty laugh bitterly.
So he thought that I was a woman who could have a one-night stand with him for money?
At this point, Betty suddenly felt tightness in her chest.
âAnywayâ¦â When Betty bit her lip, she suddenly heard Kerwin speak again. âI just want to hear the truth from you about what happened back then.â
Bettyâs body trembled slightly. âThe truth?â.
Kerwin nodded at her.
Bettyâs voice trembled slightly. âDonât you think what youâve found out is the truth?â
Betty stared into Kerwinâs dark eyes. She seemed to want to read his thoughts in those deep, dark eyes.
After a while, Kerwin looked at Betty and said slowly, âI donât think youâre a woman who would sell herself for money.â
The simple words he said were like a magic spell that stopped Betty in her tracks.
Kerwin thought she looked a little cute and chuckled, âWhatâs wrong?â
Betty realized she had given herself away and quickly looked away. âNothing. Iâm just a little surprised.â
Kerwin looked at her and said in a low voice, âSo, Betty, would you like to talk about it?â
Bettyâs face turned white again as she recalled what had happened back then.
Looking at Bettyâs pale face and slightly quivering eyebrows, Kerwin suddenly felt his heart flip and whispered, âYou donât have to say it if you donât want to.â
âNo, I want to.â Betty took a deep breath and raised her head to stare at him with bright eyes. âTwo years ago, I was at a reception for the company where I was interning. I got drunk for some reason after I had a glass of champagne. Then I was taken to a hotel room by someone. And⦠Andâ¦â
Then, Betty finally couldnât go on.
Kerwin looked at her, his eyes darkening. He asked in a stern tone, âWhat happened?â
Seeing Bettyâs silence, he snapped. âBetty, you have to face it.â
Bettyâs body shuddered as she bit her lip and finally finished her sentence. âThat glass of champagne was drugged. A sixty-something-year-old man took my virginity.â
After saying that, Betty went limp and clasped into the sofa.
Looking at her pale face, Kerwin got up from his wheelchair, went to sit beside her, and pressed her head into his arms.
âItâs okay,â he reassured her in a low voice. âItâs over. Cry if you want.â
Betty collapsed on his warm, broad shoulders as if she scared her wits out. She didnât cry either and just shook her head. âThereâs nothing to cry about. Itâs all over now.â
Instead of crying out loud, Betty made Kerwin more worried about her. Then he couldnât help but ask, âHow do you know that man is an old man in his sixties?â
Bettyâs eyelashes trembled slightly. âThat night, I was drugged, so I donât remember everything very well. And I couldnât remember what the man looked like. When I woke up, he wasnât there anymore.
And I saw 2,000 dollars on the bed. I later went to the front desk staff to ask about it. They then told me that the person who checked in that night was an elder in his 60s. In addition, someone else later reported to my college that I had been a sugar baby.â
When Betty thought about being verbally abused by people back then, she was still afraid to meet with her college classmates, for when she met with them, she would be insulted.
Betty thought she would never have the courage to talk about it, but when she was in Kerwinâs arms, she felt the strength and told him everything.
At this point, Kerwinâs eyes became darker. Finally, he asked in a low voice, âWhich hotel?â
cal âThe Century Hotel, â Betty replied. When she finished, she froze and looked at Kerwin. âWhy do you ask?â
âNothing.â Kerwin looked puzzled. âDonât you ever wonder who set you up in the first place?â
After listening to Bettyâs description, he thought it was obvious that someone was trying to set her up.
âIâm not sure. And Iâve tried to investigate, but I canât find any clues,â said Betty. Suddenly, she looked at Kerwin. âKerwin, do you believe me?â
Kerwin looked sideways and found Betty still nestled on his shoulder and that made him feel better.
Then, he whispered, âYouâre my wife. Why wouldnât I believe you?â
The simple words he said made Betty feel heavy.
Betty and Jeffrey had been together for so many years, but Jeffrey had never believed her, while Kerwin did.
âSo??â Bettyâs voice trembled slightly. âDo you resent me?â
That incident had always been a thorn in Bettyâs heart. And she had despaired for a while that she would never get married.
âNo.â Kerwin frowned slightly. âItâs not your fault, so why should I blame you?â
He would make the one who committed the crime pay.
Kerwin didnât say the second half of the sentence and just made a decision in his mind.
After saying that, Betty felt tired and went to rest.
Because Kerwin was by Bettyâs side that night, she fell asleep more quickly than on previous days.
At this time, Betty still frowned in her sleep. Looking at her, Kerwin couldnât help but reach out and smooth out her knitted brows.
Hearing Bettyâs steady breathing, Kerwin took out his cell phone and called Peter.
âHello, Peter,â he lowered his voice and was afraid of waking Betty. âHelp me look into what happened to Betty two years ago.â
After hanging up the phone, Kerwin remembered what Betty had just told him and frowned slightly.
Why do I find the name Century Hotel familiar?
