Chapter 18\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana took a long while to gather herself. \u201cDo you know Mr. Brennan, Beth?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany flashed her an easy smile. \u201cI sat at the wrong table during the blind date and ended up getting married to Mr.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Brennan.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She wasn\u2019t worried that Diana would doubt her, as she still had photos of their marriage certificate on her phone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t worry. I would never fake something like this. Even if I did, it would be exposed sooner or later, wouldn\u2019t it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana took her phone and repeatedly zoomed in on the photo of the marriage certificate. The date matched the day she had arranged Bethany\u2019s blind date. Under the spouse section, Silas\u2018 name was unmistakably written.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana still couldn\u2019t believe that this was real. Bethany hadn\u2019t married into the Brannon family; she had married into the Brennan family. A hundred Brannon families could not compare to the Brennan family.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana immediately plastered a smile on her face and changed her tune. \u201cI was wrong earlier, Beth. I shouldn\u2019t have slapped you. I was just worried about you.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll transfer the shares to you tomorrow. Think of them as your betrothal gift, okay?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany\u2019s lips curled in mockery. \u201cThose shares were mine to begin with, Mom.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana stiffened for a split second, though she still wore a polite smile. \u201cYou\u2019re right. That\u2019s your father\u2019s inheritance. You were young back then, so I managed it on your behalf.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t worry. That hotel is yours. It\u2019s just that your uncle is managing it right now. You can join and learn the ropes from him first.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany had never approved of her uncle Antonio Reeves\u2018 way of running the hotel. The first thing he did after taking over was fire all of her father\u2019s trusted aides and replace them with his own.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once she received the shares, she had no idea what her uncle might do to her. Still, she needed them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany nodded. \u201cAlright. Let\u2019s complete the transfer tomorrow morning. I want all the shares registered in your name transferred to me within three days.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOn that note, you had better keep my marriage to the Brennan family confidential for now. Aside from Gary, I don\u2019t want anyone else to know about it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana was caught off guard. \u201cWhy?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany cocked her brows. \u201cThat\u2019s what my husband wants.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas wasn\u2019t present, so the word \u201chusband\u201d rolled off her tongue with ease. If word of the alliance between the two families got out, Gary would be the one to benefit. Bethany would never let them benefit from her marriage so easily.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana pursed her lips, falling into deep thought for a moment. \u201cAlright, but you can\u2019t keep it under wraps forever. We\u2019ll have to attend your wedding, after all.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll cross that bridge when we get there,\u201d Bethany responded apathetically.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana couldn\u2019t read what was on her mind. After a moment of thought, she said, \u201cAlright.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ella stared at her reflection in the mirror, cursing Bethany in her mind.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany hadn\u2019t held back. It had been half an hour, yet the handprint on her face was still visible. With teary eyes, Ella started a video call with Noah. \u201cNoah.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Noah had just returned to his office. The moment he answered, a pitiful face filled the screen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His expression darkened. \u201cWhat happened to your face? Who did this to you, Ella?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ella was pleased with Noah\u2019s reaction. \u201cI\u2013It\u2019s nothing serious, Noah,\u201d she stammered. \u201cI was just slapped. I\u2019m fine.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ellas was slapped? How could he allow someone else to bully the woman he doted on?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noah demanded lowly, \u201cTell me who did it, Ella. I\u2019ll stand up for you!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ella hesitated. \u201cIt was\u2026 Beth. But it really doesn\u2019t hurt anymore, Noah. Please don\u2019t be mad at her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany? Noah couldn\u2019t believe her audacity. His gaze turned cold. \u201cWhy did she slap you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ella bit her lip, tears pooling in her eyes. \u201cI\u2026 don\u2019t know. I think her marriage with the Brannon family fell through, and she was in a bad mood, so she took it out on me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noah\u2019s eyes flashed with mockery. He scoffed. \u201cBethany likes that piece of trash that much?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her long lashes fluttered. \u201cI don\u2019t know, Noah. Maybe she does.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His breathing grew heavier, and a cold air emanated from him. \u201cAlright. Don\u2019t worry. I\u2019ll make sure she pays for this. \u201cTrust me, she\u2019ll wish that she hadn\u2019t laid a hand on you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
