Chapter 20 Muddy The Water

Bert pondered for a moment. Nothing could be said about the matter, but the words Bane had shouted at him came to mind.

"Speak to him, and tell him to stay at his ancestral home."

Tom said quickly, "How clever the boss is! As soon as this false news gets out, some eager dogs will surely come out and stir up more people to come in. This will make the situation thoroughly muddied."

The imperial capital was beginning to get restless.

The president of Ron Group met with a car accident and was injured in a coma. Now he was in intensive care, and he did not know whether he was alive or dead. As soon as the news was put out, the whole business circle in the capital was seething with excitement.

When Betsy came home, her face was full of tears, and Rosa was now looking very ugly.

"What am I going to do, mother? What if this Bert should die?"

'Don't talk nonsense! How do you get in? He's your fiance!"

At this point, Betsy was so angry that she threw a few more cups to the floor.

'And I'm even angrier about it! The bodyguards refused to let me in!"

"What's going on?

"Jick wasn't there. There's two other men there now, and they won't let me in, and I'm wearing my tongue to the bone, and, mother, can't he really mean --"

There was no need to say the last words; they were all read in Betsy Reed's face.

"Don't talk nonsense! It won't!"

"If it's all right, why don't you come forward? The stock price of Ron's Group has been dropping wildly in recent days, and some people say that Ron's Group will change ownership!"

A little hesitation appeared on Rosa's face.

"Mother, if something happens to him, I'll be ruined, won't I? No, I can't wait here to die!"

Betsy was immediately discomfited, for she feared that Bert was dead, and that she could not profit by it.

At first she had been fascinated by Bert's looks and his wealth, but he had not touched her for six years, and she had no affection for such an unattractive man.

In Betsy's view, Bert must have been no good. After all, she was a great beauty, but Bert did not even give her the eye, and there were no other women around. In her eyes, Bert was no good.

It was only in fear that Bert's death would leave her fiancee with no fortune, that Betsy was in a state of confusion.

Rosa comforted Betsy briefly, wondering what had become of Bert. If it's really no big deal, why don't you care about such a big group?

"You can't get any information?"

"Those two were too well guarded! When I come near, I'm driven away!"

Now Betsy turned green. Had she ever suffered so much since she became Bert's fiancee?

"How useless you are! There was no way to find out even that!"

"Mom, it's not my fault! But I also heard something, that Jick Longman, who was in a car accident with Bert, was seriously injured and is still in intensive care, as many of you know! So will Bert also..."

Rosa became more hesitant.

"Mom, or I'd better get rid of this marriage as soon as possible!"

"Retreat what! How hard won this position is!"

Therefore, Betsy was determined to get out of the marriage. She could not bear to live with a man who was not good.

"Mother," whispered Betsy, "if you think it over, it's the best thing to call it off now! After all, Ron's company hasn't collapsed yet, they're going to get a lot of money until they're divided up, and Bert's going back six years, and it'll all turn out sooner or later!"

Rosa could hardly hold on to her original idea.

Betsy continued with the words, "Think again, Mom, if the paternity test is really done, I'm not a match for that bitch, even if you can get Dr. Xu to make a false report, but what if Bert doesn't go to the hospital? So now is the best chance!"

After all, Rosa didn't agree and said, "Don't make a fool of yourself! Bert's a very shrewdy man. He didn't die so soon. Don't make a scene!"

Betsy was almost gone, but had to listen to her mother, and nodded reluctantly. "All right."

"Now you'll be a good boy, don't do anything else, and run off to the hospital for nothing. If you can't get in, you'll have enough of that attitude, and try to find Norton more often, and try to please him!"

"I don't even know where that bastard is, and I can't find him!"

"That you still don't hurry to look for!"

Betsy tried to complain, but her mother scolded her for it, and her heart was full of resentment, but she was afraid to take it out on her mother, so when Bane returned, Betsy threw a cup at her.

Bane moved sideways and dodged.

"What have you been doing so late? Have you been doing some shady things on the sly again?"

Bane pressed the anger in the heart, she said: "I just went outside to take a walk."

In fact, she was going to see Anne, the 200,000 has been successfully withdrawn, according to her words, not a cent more, and is also in the black market to find people to do, is untraceable.

But after all, she had underestimated Bert Ron's wealth.

Annie told that there was a whole hundred million in the card, and to Bane's surprise, all the money was taken out without a password, Anne also wondered how the card came from.

Bane was so distraught that she began to regret withdrawing the money, but without it, she and Sophie would both live under Rosa's control, so she kept hinting that she would pay it back.

"Out for a walk? Believe you have a ghost! I suppose you have gone about with wild men!"

This was too bad to hear, Bane could not endure, shouted: "Don't be so smelly with your mouth!"

Seeing her reply, Betsy seemed to find a breakthrough. She shouted: "If you are so clean, where did you come from? You dare to have a baby in your cell, you are really good!"

Bane's face went white in an instant and she did not know how to reply.

Betsy knew what was going on and was deliberately mocking her. It was strange to her that her father preferred Bane all the time. After all, she was her father's own daughter, and Bane was not only his father's ex-wife’s daughter, but neither his own daughter.

Rosa spoke. 'Bane Reed, go to your room!'

Bane's lips tightened and she went straight back to her room.

Watching her leave, Betsy became even more upset and said, "Mom, why do you help her!"

"Betsy, you go to the hospital at once, and come back as soon as you hear anything!"
