Chapter: 961

Rowan?

Bethany was taken aback. "Why would you..."

"He's learned the hacking skills from me. Don't act so surprised."

Based on B7's tone, Bethany realized he must have known Rowan was her son.

If he had seen Rowan's face, he would undoubtedly recognize the boy as Jonathan's child. So why had he previously questioned why she was in East Shade Bay?

“Your explanation is so flimsy," she said. Yet, it sounded just Like B7.

He was the kind of man who acted on whim, rarely taking things seriously.

"There's another reason, actually."

"What?"

"You're beautiful."

Bethany thought B7 was completely out of line. Something had to be off with him.

“I'm enhancing the quality of the footage. Take a few more days to consider my proposal, then let me know your decision," B7 said. “By the way, Jonathan contacted me earlier. Did he tell you?"

Bethany felt a pang of concern. “Why did he contact you?"

"He was curious about the contents of the USB you wanted me to restore!"

"And you..."

"Don't worry. I'm a professional. I respect my clients' privacy."

Bethany almost rolled her eyes.

If he truly had any professional ethics, he wouldn't be acting so irresponsibly.

After ending the call, Bethany didn't head straight back to the hospital room. Instead, she lingered on a bench outside.

As B7 had indicated, it would only be a few days before the video was fully restored. By then, her relationship with Jonathan might be irreparably damaged.

The irony was palpable.

Jonathan was planning their future while she was gathering evidence that could incarcerate his mother. The duplicity weighed heavily on her.

At times, Bethany felt like a betrayer.

Facing Jonathan's deep affection, all she could offer in return were lies.
