Chapter 72 Where Did You Get Those Photos

“Lillian and Robert told him,” Kerwin said. “They work for my grandpa. On the surface, they were sent over to take care of me. In fact, they are spies.”

Betty finally understood why Kerwin was always trying to send them away.

It should be out of concern that Old Bruce

kept an eye on Kerwin, but no one liked to be

watched. It was especially true for Kerwin

who had been keeping the secret about his legs.

“Speaking of which…” Betty hesitated for a moment and asked, “Why wouldn’t you tell Bruce the truth? I can tell that he cares about

you.”

Kerwin opened his eyes and replied, “He’s indeed concerned about me, but he is old. His judgment is sometimes clouded by his longing for a great-grandson.”

Betty was baffled. “What kind of judgment?”

“Family related,” Kerwin replied. “He wants

e to get along with Henry. If he knew about my fine legs, he might spill the beans in

front of Henry.”

Betty froze and then figured out the

situation.

Turned out Kerwin was keeping the secret

from Henry.

******************

The relationships in big families were complicated, and she had a headache

thinking about it. Drowsiness came, and she

closed her eyes.

In a trance, she vaguely saw Kerwin taking

out something and studying it at the table.

Under the light, the object glowed in his hand. It seemed to be a crystal pendant.

Is it the same one I saw?

Although her consciousness was foggy, she still felt a little upset.

Whose pendant is it? Who does Kerwin care about so much?

Betty wondered and drifted off to sleep.

A sharp contrast to the quietness, the atmosphere in another room was tense.

Jeffrey entered the room with a livid face. In

pajamas, Emily hurried over, grabbed his

arm, and said, “Jeffrey, where have you been? I’ve been waiting for you after the

bath.”

Under the dim light, she looked attractive in the lace nightgown. Her chest was rubbing against his arm.

Indifferent to that, Jeffrey glanced at the woman and huffed. “Emily, don’t you have anything to explain to me?”

Emily was surprised by his attitude. “What to explain? Is there anything wrong?”

“Those photos.” As Emily was playing dumb, Jeffrey said in an irritable tone, “Who let you expose those photos?”

Emily turned pale.

Has Jeffrey found out?

“Jeffrey… Is this a misunderstanding?” She panicked. “I don’t know why those indecent. photos of Betty were shown. You gotta

believe…”

“Drop the act, Emily!” Disgusted with her face, Jeffrey shook off her hand. “Bruce has found out! What would he think of me?”

What?

Bruce has found out?

*********

Emily’s face turned paler.

She hadn’t expected to be hoisted by her own

petard!

She looked at Jeffrey, aware that this man

was her last chip. The rims of her eyes

reddened, and she grabbed his sleeve in a

pitiful manner. “Jeffrey, I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. I was so stupid to do such a thing. Are

you going to leave me because of it?”

Her tears fell.

Emily was beautiful, and it was touching when she was crying. At the end of the day, she was his girlfriend. Jeffrey relented and softened his tone. “Tell me why you did

that.”

Emily bit her lip and whispered, “I was

scared…”

“What were you afraid of?”

“I was afraid that you still had feelings for

my sister. I was afraid that you would

rekindle your past romance and… Leave me.”

Jeffrey stiffened at her remark and looked at her tearful face. He felt sorry for her and took her into his arms. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

“Silly girl,” he whispered. “What Betty did two years ago was dirty. I’ll never have any form of connection with her.”

Perhaps because too many unpleasant things had happened today, Emily was not relieved to hear Jeffrey’s promise. Far from it, she was on tenterhooks.

Jeffrey,” she muttered, nestling in his arms. “What if Betty… Didn’t do those things two years ago, would you go back to her?”

This question had been tormenting her.

In her initial view, Jeffrey and Betty would go on separate ways after she broke them up. Life was different from TV dramas after all.

After breaking up, most couples would get

over each other and move on.

hand But now, she was not so sure about that.

She had never expected that Jeffrey would become Betty’s boss or that Betty would

become Jeffrey’s aunt.

Ever since she learned that Betty was working under Jeffrey, she had been worried that Betty would explain everything to Jeffrey. For some unknown reason, Betty hadn’t done that. She was puzzled but relieved.

Still, she couldn’t rést her mind at ease.

Given Jeffrey’s recent attitude towards Betty,

suspected that their bonds had been underestimated. She was afraid that Jeffrey would go back to Betty once he learned about.

the truth.

Jeffrey stiffened at her question but soon replied in a cold voice, “The photos are solid.

There can’t be a misunderstanding.”

Daunted by his stern look, Emily didn’t dare

to say another word.

Jeffrey looked at the delicate woman and frowned as something crossed his mind. “By the way, where did you get those photos?”

Those photos were emailed by an anonymous sender, and he had only shown them to Kerwin and Betty. How come Emily had them?

Immersed in apprehension, Emily turned pale with the question.

Bummer, I neglected the source of the photos.

Jeffrey noticed her ashen face, realized

something, and pulled her out of his arms. His face clouded over and his brows were locked in a frown. “Was it you who sent me those photos?”
