Chapter137
Did Bethany want to stir up some waves in his life?
Bethany didn’t feel well today, so she returned to the hotel and
lay down.
When I opened my eyes again, I was awakened by a nightmare.
Forehead and back were covered in sweat.
She dreamt of the seven–year fire again.
In the dream, the heart that was afraid Terrence would have an
accident was stretched painfully.
Still had lingering fear upon waking up.
She quickly adjusted her mood, and Terrence’s affairs had
nothing to do with her from then on.
She was about to take a shower when she realized that she had
forgotten to bring her luggage.
I had to go out to buy clean clothes and daily necessities.
She didn’t know what had happened with the Mendez family,
and she would go back to her hometown once Terrence was
Chapter 137
sure not to cause any trouble for the Mendez family.
Bethany picked out two simple outfits and handed her credit
card to the cashier.
After the cashier swiped the card, Bethany entered the
password, pressed confirm, and surprisingly the card failed to
swipe.
The card was displayed as invalid on the card reader.
How is this possible?
She had been using this card for seven years. These days, she
had also been using it continuously. How did it suddenly show
that this card was invalid?
“Miss, this card of yours couldn’t be used. Do you have any
other bank cards?”
Bethany had to put down the bag of clothes she was carrying
and use her phone to type a message, asking the cashier to swipe
the card again and see if it works.
After she entered the password, it still showed that the card was
invalid.
She couldn’t help but curl her lips and sneer.
Chapter137
This card belonged to Terrence.
That day, he suddenly gave her this card and said there were
two million inside, asking her to go shopping.
How often, he deposited another two million into her account
and let her go shopping.
Once or twice, three times four times.
At first, she felt quite happy. He was afraid that she would be
bored at home, so he would always give her money to go
shopping.
As the number of times increased, she gradually realized that
every time he asked her to go shopping, it was because there
were visitors at home.
At that time, she only knew that his secret marriage was truly
hidden. Except for the McConnell family and the McConnell
family’s servants, he wouldn’t let anyone else know that his
wife was her.
Now, he even stopped using cards.
Bethany quietly left the clothing store.
Although she was frugal, she still dared not buy clothes that
Chapter137
were too poor, for fear of losing face for Terrence.
It was probably because I was used to it, so this time I chose a
clothing store of a high standard.
Just walked out, I heard the cashier muttering, “If you can’t
afford it, don’t pretend, it’s such a waste of time.”
Bethany just curled her lips and smiled faintly.
Used to it.
Numb.
Who made her a mute?
She probably also knew that Terrence wanted to cut off her
way out.
Suddenly, I remembered what Cassie said, that no matter how
well a woman marries, having her own career is what makes
her life more exciting.
Yeah, a woman with her palms facing downwards will be very
passive, just like her at this moment.
In the span of seven years, she lost herself. And on one day,
when she wanted to leave, she felt restricted in every aspect.
Chapter137
In this era, without money, it was difficult to take even a single
step.
In a seven–year marriage, she did not gain the love and
happiness of a family of three that she desired.
But had nothing.
How ironic.
Terrence pushed her away while also preventing anyone from
helping her.
This was to leave her isolated and then obediently go back to
him and beg for mercy.
Was he so certain that she couldn’t live without him anymore?
She had only half a year’s time, originally intending to leave
quietly, not wanting to fight for anything, not wanting to
snatch anything. Since that’s the case, even if she only had half a
year of life, she still wanted to live well.
Show him how it’s done!
At that moment, Terrence received a call from Michael.
“Mr. McConnell, it has been found out that Sir McConnell was
the one who made the move, but it was not serious. He
Chapter137
purchased a significant amount of the Mendez Group’s stocks
and continuously sold them at a very low price. In addition, the
hospitals under the Mendez Group experienced several medical
scandals, which made headlines in the news. As a result, the
Mendez Group’s stocks have been continuously declining. Sir
McConnell was practically openly playing with the Mendez
Group’s stocks. It would be easy to find out that the McConnell
Group is involved in this matter.”
