Contract Marriage With The Disabled CEO

Chapter 51

Chapter 51 Medical Bills

“Nothing,” Kerwin said calmly and handed a plate of bread to Betty. “Have breakfast.”

Betty wasn’t bothered. She sat down and her mind wandered to her mom’s medical fees when having breakfast.

Kerwin glanced at Betty’s knitted brows from time to time. Now he knew what troubled her all the time.

Kerwin put a fried egg on Betty’s plate and said in an undertone, “Betty, we can find a good time to visit your mom.”

Betty froze for a moment. She looked up at Kerwin hastily and met his gaze.

“No, no need…” She shifted her gaze. “My mom is in bad condition. She needs a quiet rest.”

Betty’s words were ambiguous. She said nothing about her mom’s severe illness or medical fees.

Kerwin’s eyes turned sharp.

In his life, he had met different types of women, like women who played with him for fun or ladies that came from noble families. However, all of them would reveal their softness and weakness, to make him show care for them.

Betty and those women were poles apart.

Though they were married, she had never asked him for anything. To be exact, she was trying to

avoid getting anything from him.

The fact that she distanced herself from him on purpose annoyed Kerwin.

“Really?” Kerwin’s voice got colder. “Then I hope your mom recovers soon.”

Betty frowned slightly.

Did I say something wrong? Why does he look unhappy?

But she didn’t ask him about it. She had breakfast quietly with her head down. Then Kerwin took her to the subway station quietly.

When she arrived at the magazine by subway, she didn’t go to her desk but went to the accounting office, begging the staff there to advance her one month’s pay.

The bad news was she could only get an advance on the next-next month’s pay as she had got next

month’s pay.

Lisa looked at Betty awkwardly. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

“Betty, we know you have a hard time. We want to help you, but we can’t decide it.”

Betty’s eyes dimmed. When she was about to say something, a cold voice sounded from behind her.

“Ms.White, it’s working time. You should prepare for the interview this afternoon. What are you doing here?”

Betty felt a sense of foreboding when she heard the voice. She turned her head reluctantly and saw Jeffrey standing behind her and glaring at her.

“I have some business here.” Betty didn’t want to talk with Jeffrey at all. She answered briefly and

walked out of the accounting office hurriedly.

When she reached the corridor, Jeffrey caught up with her, grabbed her by the wrist, and pushed her against the wall.

“Jeffrey Martin, what are you doing?” fear that the staff in the accounting office heard her voice, she asked in a low voice.

“Nothing.” Jeffrey curled up his lip contemptuously, staring down at Betty. “I’m wondering, why my fiancee’s sister wants to get paid in advance over and over again.”

Betty realized her conversation with Lisa was heard by Jeffrey. She angrily rubbed her wrist that hurt and said nonchalantly, “Jeffrey, I’ve told you before. I want to buy a luxury bag.”

Jeffrey laughed scornfully. “Betty White, I am not a fool!”

If Betty really craved that bag, Kerwin would buy it for her, since Kerwin cared about her so much.

She racked her brains to get an advance on her pay. Jeffrey guessed she used the money to solve something that had to be hidden from Kerwin.

After he came through, he curved his lips into a cruel smile and suddenly cornered her by placing his hands on the wall.

“Jeffrey, what’s wrong with you?!” Betty was startled.

“Betty, seems you need the money badly.” Jeffrey bent to get close to Betty. “A month’s pay… I guess, you need 10,000 dollars?”

Betty frowned. “It’s none of your business.”

Then, she tried to push Jeffrey. However, she came to a stop when hearing his next sentence.

“Well, you sleep with me tonight. I give you 10,000 dollars. Deal?”

Betty looked up at Jeffrey incredulously and saw the mocking smile spread across his face.

“What do you think?” Jeffrey looked down at Belly’s pale face, feeling fidgeted. However, his anger

rose when he thought about how she and Kerwin displayed affection in public. “Let me remind you, 10,000 dollars for a night is much higher than other whores’ pay. It’s a no-lose deal for you.”

With that, Jeffrey suddenly thought about something and curled his lips in disdain. “If my memory serves me right, your first night is worth 10,000 dollars. But that was two years ago. Maybe you’ve been f*cked by countless men. I’m still willing to pay you that much. You should be grateful…”

Slap!

Before Jeffrey finished his words, Betty could no longer stand his mockery. She raised her hand and slapped Jeffery’s face fiercely.

Jeffrey was dumbfounded by Betty’s slap. He covered his face and looked down at her in astonishment.

He saw Betty’s face turn red with anger and tears welling up in her eyes. But she gritted her teeth

hard to hold back the tears.

Jeffrey felt so much pain at her pitiful look

Though his original intention was to hurt Betty, he only felt sorrowful and heartbroken when seeing her pathetic expressions.

Fighting back the tears, Betty glared at Jeffrey and said through her teeth.

“Jeffrey Martin, I’m f*cking regretful for having loved you!”

Without looking at him, she shook off his hand and left the corridor swiftly.

Jeffrey was left there. He stood still and looked like a soulless puppet. After some time, Lisa went out of the office and saw Jeffrey standing still.

“Mr. Martin?” Lisa was taken by surprise.

Only then did Jeffrey come to himself. He looked at Lisa and asked, “Lisa, do you know why Betty wants to get paid in advance?”

Lisa felt it hard to talk about Betty’s privacy, but she didn’t dare lie to Jeffrey, as he was his supervisor. “Betty’s mom is sick, so she needs money to pay the medical fees. Mr. Martin, please don’t get mad at her.”

Sick? Medical fees?

Jeffrey was dumbfounded at such an unexpected answer.
