Chapter 14 He’s Back
Kerwin looked out of the window at Betty’s retreating figure and pondered. “I feel the same way.”
Kerwin did not expect that Betty would refuse his offer flatly.
He had sent Peter to dig into Betty’s background and found that Betty was just a gold-digger who could do everything for money.
Kerwin chose her precisely because of this.
He could buy her off with a little money. She was much easier to deal with than those ladies with their eyes on all his assets.
Kerwin admitted that Betty wasn’t annoying. That was another reason he chose her.
To his surprise, she didn’t seem to want his money at all.
Or was she cleverer than he thought? Was she just playing hard to get?
Kerwin’s eyes lingered on Betty for a moment, and then he looked away.

Betty arrived at the office and found it in chaos.

“I guess Mrs. Martin must come from a wealthy family. Otherwise, how could Kerwin’s business flourish in just two years?”
“Come on, that sounds kind of boring. Maybe this is like a modern-day Cinderella story.”
Cinderella?
Betty let out a hearty laugh.
Betty was just an average girl, and Kerwin was out of her league. This was like a modern-day Cinderella story indeed.
Betty was scrolling through the Twitter feed idly. Suddenly, her phone rang. She got a call from her
best friend Susan.
“Hello.” Betty picked up the phone.
Somehow, Susan asked cautiously, “Betty, have you heard the news?”
Betty was confused. “What is it?”
“Jeffrey Martin… is back…”
Betty’s smile froze on her lips and her face went white.
Betty was confused. “What is it?”
