Chapter 139 You Know It

Looking at the caller ID on the screen, she hesitated for a long time before answering.

After answering the phone, Ward remained silent, and Bane quickly realized the problem.

After a while, Ward spoke.

"The day before yesterday I went out for a party and drank a little too much at night. I lost consciousness in the back."

Ward said these words softly and with a little tremor.

Bane held the phone in his hand and didn't say anything.

"I don't remember the rest of it either. When I woke up, I was lying in the pub, Bane, was that you?"

It was a long time before Bane said, "You remember wrong."

Ward gave a wry smile. "I've got your key, Bane. You lost it in the hotel.

After hanging up the phone, Bane felt a sudden sense of despair, but she still desperately told herself that nothing had happened and that she had to clear up the misunderstanding.

They decided to meet at a coffee shop.

Ward was there before Bane, and when he saw Bane approaching, he pulled back his chair. "Yes, sit down," he said.

"We... This misunderstanding should be cleared up."

As soon as he sat down, Bane spoke directly.

She tried to calm down, she knew that the most important thing now is to clear up the misunderstanding, and what should be done next.

"I understand," Ward said with a slight smile, his face full of resignation and bitterness. "You never cut corners. Tell me."

"I think I was set up by Aki Reed."

She said it without a trace of warmth, and said the name without hesitation.

Ward's face was shocked. "Your father?"

'No, he wasn't my father, I had nothing to do with him, and he killed my mother!'

Ward's eyes flashed with astonishment. He had seen Bane's respect for the father before, but now...

Ward wanted to ask him something more, but it was clear that Bane didn't want to go on, and the words on the tip of his tongue were, "I don't know who set me up. My client was in the same coma, also in the hotel, and I think someone in the bar did it, so I won't be able to find out."

It's nothing but a dead end.

She could not understand why she had happened to be lying in the same bed with Ward when she had just finished reading the contents of the file when she fainted. She was suspicious of Aki because she knew about it.

But what about Ward Jonathan?

How could he? The consequences would have been far worse with anyone else, but why Ward?

"Bane, I'll be responsible for you. Will you marry me?"

At this, Bane was stunned.

A glimmer of expectation floated through Ward's eyes.

He had woken up in the tavern and found his bed in such a mess that his heart was full of regret. He wished he had been so careless and framed, but he had looked at the familiar key chain and was frozen in his mind.

That key chain, he knew it too well!

It was something Bane had never left his body with before!

Almost instantly, Ward's remorse vanished, his heart filled with surprise, and he really wanted to go straight to Bane to get her response.

But he still resisted, he knew, Bain early to leave, because escape, he is willing to give her time to think clearly.

He hid his excitement for fear that Bane would find out.

It was mean, but he could not help rejoicing.

But then Bane said, "You and I didn't have that step."

Hearing this, Ward froze.

"I'm pretty sure of that."

Ward gave a wry smile. "Bane, am I that bad in your mind? Is it a grievance to be with me?"

In that case, it was drugged, and no one would believe it if nothing had happened.

But Bane was very firm. 'I'm pretty sure nothing happened between you and me, Ward Jonathan. You're not responsible for me.

Ward watched Bane for a long moment before he said, "Bane, you pulled that off the bed. It wasn't just the key chain. It was this."

With that, Ward pulled Bane's hukou book out of his pocket.

Bain paused for a moment, then took the hukou book in the past, opened it, it was indeed hers.

"Bane, are you really going to marry him?"

Bane had tried not to admit it, but when he saw what Ward had done, the words came to his lips: "Sophie is his own daughter."

Ward froze with disbelief.

"This...... How is that possible? That's impossible!"

"Sophie is indeed his daughter, and Norton Ron," Bane continued, his face unsullied. "I'm Norton's real mother, and Norton and Sophie are my children with Bert."

"You...... Did you marry Bert Ron, for the children?"

"I'm the mother of my children. I can't leave them."

"You have no love for Bert Ron! You two are not in love! Bane, you need to get out of your head! It's Bert Ron! It's the president of Ron's Group! Do you understand?"

Bane paused, then said, "I see."

She knew that Bert Ron had no love for her.

She could see no love in Bert's eyes. In her mind, Bert was only interested in her and wanted to possess her. Bert had always been a bully, and wanted to possess her because she was the woman she had been six years before, Norton and Sophie's mother.

Bane knew all this, but she still chose to marry Bert.

"You understand? Now that you know, why did you do it? Don't you know the abyss lies ahead? What are you doing jumping in there for? You...... Are you in love with Bert Ron already?"

Ward's voice trembled as he uttered those last words.

Bane didn't answer the question directly, but said, "I can't live without Sophie and Norton, and that's the only thing that keeps me with Sophie and Norton, Ward Jonathan, please."

She said it in a pleading tone.

Ward almost lost his mind when he saw Bane, because he was so angry.

"Are you going to marry Bert Ron, come what may? Do you think Bert will believe, Bane, that nothing happened to you and me?"

This sentence is very incisive.

Bane simply replied, "I know, you know exactly what didn't happen to us."
