Contract Marriage With The Disabled CEO

Chapter 93

Chapter 93 His Ex-girlfriend

Betty didn’t expect Jeffrey to ask her this question. She was stunned for a moment, then frowned. “Sorry, Mr. Martin, I don’t want to answer, it’s a private question.”

She turned to walk away, but he rushed over to her and grabbed her arm.

“I’m not asking you as a boss.” Jeffrey explained hastily. “but as your ex-boyfriend, or as your friend now.”

Last night, he didn’t come home. He had been thinking about her all night. He realized that what he cared about most was Betty and Kerwin’s marriage. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

He used to think she married him for his money, but now he had to rethink it.

“If it wasn’t for the money, then why did she marry Kerwin? She really loves him, or does she have no choice but to do it?” Jeffrey thought.

Jeffrey didn’t persuade himself to believe that she liked her husband anyway. Two years had passed since he had broken up with Betty, but he had never gotten over her. He couldn’t believe that she no longer loved him. He would rather believe that she married Kerwin because she had to. After sending someone to investigate Betty’s marriage, he figured that she had many blind dates in a month before marrying him.

The only thing these men had in common was that they were all legal permanent residents of Chicago. Thinking about her mother’s illness, he seemed to understand something.

That was why he asked Betty about it today. He wanted an answer, one he would accept for their inexplicable breakup two years ago.

Betty turned pale under his questioning. “Jeffrey, don’t forget that Kerwin is your uncle. It’s not appropriate for you to question my relationship with him.” said she in a insensitive voice.

Jeffrey didn’t expect Betty to use this reason to retort him. He gritted his teeth. “Are you afraid to answer my question? You don’t love Kerwin at all, do you? You married him to become a legal permanent resident of the city, right?”

She had no idea that Jeffrey already knew about it. Her face changed slightly, the gesture did not go unnoticed by him and suspected that his guess was right.

He suddenly felt excited and impulsive.

He held her by the shoulder harder. “Betty, am I right? You don’t love Kerwin. He’s just a cold cripple. How could you possibly like him?”

Jeffrey didn’t know why he cared so much about their relationship.

He felt a fire was burning in his chest when he pictured that Betty lay next to Kerwin every night and she had sex with him, so he was trying to belittle him. But in the end, he found that Kerwin’s crippled legs and his overly icy temperament were the only things he could belittle.

Betty wasn’t going to answer Jeffrey, but his put-down of her husband made her suddenly angry.

“Jeffrey, that’s enough,” said she, shaking the man off with all her strength, her face uncaring.

“You’re in no position to say anything bad about Kerwin. In what way do you think you are better than him? Are you more capable than him or do you trust me more than him? No matter why I married Kerwin, I have

never regretted it!”

Jeffrey never expected Betty, who was always shy, to say that.

He was surprised at first, and then he was frustrated when he looked at her angry face.

“Betty is so furious because I insulted Kerwin, so Kerwin is more than her husband in name?”

The thought almost suffocated Jeffrey.

The next second, he grabbed her harder

again. “You’re not attracted to Kerwin, are you? Are you stupid? You don’t know him at all,” he growled.

Betty’s face distorted in pain as Jeffrey touched her wound.

“Kerwin is a cold-hearted man. Ten years ago, he abandoned his girlfriend to survive. How can you take sides with such a selfish man? You must be blind!”

Betty struggled to get away from him. Hearing his words, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning

“Nonsense!” she blurted out, her face white. “Don’t disparage Kerwin.”

Jeffrey was even angrier to hear Betty defend him. For a moment, he also forgot that he was not allowed to reveal what had happened ten years ago. “You can look into that kidnapping ten years ago. Go to find out how Kerwin survived from the kidnapping and how his girlfriend Julia Davis died for him.”

Julia Davis? The owner of the crystal necklace?

She was dead!

A kidnapping ten years ago?

Betty didn’t want to believe anything he said, but she got a lot of information from that. For a moment she didn’t know what to say.

Looking at her, Jeffrey calmed down a little and released her.

The kidnapping ten years ago was a taboo in the Martin family. Almost all the news about it was contained. No one in the family was allowed to talk about it. At this point, Jeffrey was jealous of Kerwin, so it just slipped out. However, he thought it was worth the risk to show Betty who her husband really was.

At this, he calmed down. “Betty, whatever our relationship is, I don’t want you to be fooled by him.”

Betty didn’t hear what Jeffrey was saying. At this time, their colleagues came to attend the conference.

Everyone was surprised to see Kerwin and Betty alone in the auditorium, but soon they exchanged looks and sat down in their seats.

Betty immediately sat down in her seat. During the meeting, she couldn’t stop thinking about what Jeffrey had just said.

She had been unhappy about the necklace these days, but she did not expect that the owner of the necklace she was jealous of was dead.

Did that beautiful girl named Julia die because of Kerwin? Betty didn’t dare to think about it further.
