Contract Marriage With The Disabled CEO
Chapter 43 Shameful Photos On Monday, when Betty got up and was about to go downstairs for breakfast, she didnât expect to receive a phone call from the hospital.
âWhat?â Betty stopped in her tracks. â2000 dollars? I have to pay in a few days? No. No. I can pay the bill. Please use the medicine. Iâll go raise the money.â
After hanging up the phone, Betty sighed.
Since her motherâs condition had improved, the medications she used had all changed into imported drugs. As most of the medications could not be purchased with health insurance, she felt more and more powerless about it.
However, she couldnât give up on her momâs treatment. So, she could only call the HR office.
âExcuse me. Iâm going to get paid early again.â Betty said, a little embarrassed. âBut what about my mom? Well, I know. Iâll wait to hear from you.â
After hanging up the phone, Betty walked to the dining room.
In the dining room, Kerwin was eating porridge. Seeing Betty, he asked, âWhatâs wrong?â
Betty guessed that he might have seen her on the phone near the staircase, but she didnât know what to say, so she just said, âSomething happened at my company. Itâs nothing important.â
It wasnât that Betty was trying to hide her mother from Kerwin, but she didnât know how to explain it to him.
Should she just tell him that her mother was seriously ill and needed money for medical care?
It sounded like she was asking Kerwin for money.
Although Betty and Kerwin were already married, and she had become somewhat dependent and close to Kerwin, Betty still couldnât manage to show her vulnerability in front of him.
Maybe it was because her mother told Betty from an early age that even if everyone laughed at her for being a fatherless and illegitimate child, she couldnât show her weakness and let others make fun of her.
Looking at Bettyâs evasive gaze, Kerwin remained silent.
He knew about her motherâs condition, but he didnât want to offer help, for he knew she was very sensitive and stubborn. And he was afraid of ruining the trust between the two of them.
Therefore, he decided to take his time and not scare her away.
Kerwin smiled bitterly in his heart.
He didnât expect him to be so emotional because of Betty when he was so decisive and never hesitated in the business world.
âLetâs eat,â he said. âAfter breakfast, Iâll walk you to the subway station.â
Betty nodded. She was relieved that Kerwin didnât insist on walking her to the office.
Does this mean that I started to think from her perspective too?
Then she took the subway to the magazine office. Before Betty could sit down, the secretary told her that Jeffrey wanted to talk to her.
Bettyâs heart sank.
Since Betty and Jeffrey had returned from their business trip to Houston, Jeffrey had not been bothering her much. She also wondered why he would call her over to talk at this time.
Then she went to Jeffreyâs office.
âMr. Martin, did you need me for something?â
n Jeffrey looked at Betty with a cold expression and said, âBetty, I heard that you got your salary early again this month, right?â
Betty said, âYes. I need money.â
Jeffrey sneered. âTo do what?â
Bettyâs fingertips trembled as she said inâa cold voice, âI already talked to the finance office, Mr. Martin, are you crossing the lines?â
âWhatâs wrong? Is it that hard for you to talk about?â Jeffrey became more and more sarcastic with Betty.
Betty took a deep breath and said, âI want to buy a handbag, the latest limited edition that just came out recently. If I donât pick up my paycheck early, Iâm not able to buy it.â
Since Jeffrey reckoned her as a gold digger, let him be.
Listening to Bettyâs dismissive tone, Jeffrey couldnât help but clench his hands and then sneer. âItâs just a handbag. Did those men of yours refuse to buy it for you?â
Betty thought she had become stronger. Even though Jeffrey insulted her with such repulsive words, she started to become numb.
âBetty, why donât you say something?â Jeffrey suddenly stood up and raised his voice. âI asked you where are your men? Or did they just disappear after sleeping with you?â
Betty was running out of patience and frowned.
Is Jeffrey going crazy?
âMr. Martin, if I canât get my salary in advance, then thatâs fine.â Betty became impatient. âIf you donât have anything else to say to me, Iâll leave now.â
Betty turned around to leave, but she didnât expect Jeffrey to stand up and slam something in Bettyâs face!
âBetty, can you please explain to me what these items are!â
Betty froze when she looked at the things that hit her face. Suddenly, her face was pale as she trembled Those items were photos. Those photos were blurry and secretly taken, but she could recognize the person in those photos was her.
In the pictures, she was lying on the bed, disheveled and flushed.
And anyone could see what she was doing.
Bettyâs mind went blank.
She could recognize that those photos had been taken two years ago âWhere did you get those pictures?â Betty snapped as she held those photos and stared at Jeffrey.
What happened two years ago had always been a nightmare for Betty. After all these years, she always felt that it was all behind her.
However, she didnât expect someone to take pictures of that night! In this way, what happened back then seemed to have become a permanent scar. It was a scar that she could not get rid of for the rest of her life!
âWhatâs wrong? Betty, are you scared?â Looking at her pale face, Jeffrey couldnât help but sneer. âWhy did you do that filthy deed in the first place?â
At that moment, Jeffreyâs insult made her feel agitated and depressed.
âJeffrey, I have nothing to do with you. Itâs none of your business,â Betty said in a cold voice. âJust tell me where the hell did you get these pictures? Who took them? Who gave them to you?â
Jeffreyâs heart did a flip, but as his eyes fell on the explicit photos, he burned with anger.
âWho took them? Shouldnât you know the best in your heart? Why are you still asking me!â Jeffrey looked at Betty with mockery and disdain. âOr have you used this trick so many times that you canât remember when and who took those pictures for you?â
