Chapter: 61

Aimee was all for it. “That's a great plan! I have to be somewhere else. Jayson can take you to the hospital first!"

"There's no need, I..."

Before Bethany could finish her sentence, she heard her name called from behind.

Turning around, she saw a black Maybach parked along the roadside.

The window was partially down, revealing Jonathan's handsome face.

“Bethany, come here."

"Mr. Bates?" Before Bethany had a chance to respond, Aimee, standing behind Bethany, yelled in surprise.

Jonathan's unexpected arrival felt as shocking as hitting a jackpot.

Bethany didn't need to turn around to know Aimee would be full of questions. So, she quickly put on a businesslike smile and hurried towards the car.

“Mr. Bates, is there an emergency at work?"

Jonathan glanced coldly towards the people behind her and commanded, "Get in the car."

"Alright." Bethany nodded and waved at Aimee. "I need to handle something, so I'm heading off now. Let's catch up next week."

Before the situation could escalate, she climbed into the car.

The drive was quiet, and there was a strange tension in the air, leaving Bethany puzzled.

Could it be he had a bad night's sleep?

As they neared the supermarket, Bethany broke the silence. “I haven't done any grocery shopping yet. Could we stop by the roadside?"

Despite Jonathan's stern face, he drove into the supermarket's underground parking.

Just as Bethany was about to exit the car, he suddenly grabbed her wrist.

"Who was that person just now?"

Just now?

"That was my friend Aimee. We used to work together at Ensson Corporation. She was also with us on the business trip to Degend last time."

So he should have understood how startling his sudden appearance could be.

Aimee was known for her love of spreading rumors.

However, Jonathan didn't seem too concerned about Aimee. "And the man?"
