Contract Marriage With The Disabled CEO

Chapter 41 The Reason He Pretended to Be Disabled
Betty froze and shook her head.
Kerwin had said she might be better off not knowing some issues, so she didn’t go further to
question him.
“Ten years ago, Kerwin was in a car accident.” Jason was blunt. “Everyone thought Kerwin’s leg was crippled in that accident,
but he was just injured. His injuries were healed after he went to France.”
Betty recalled how she also seemed to have seen Kerwin’s car accident on the news.
At the time, Kerwin was barely 20 years old and had just started college. When he was kidnapped, the kidnapper offered an
enormous ransom of 100 million dollars. The news was a local sensation.
It was said that the kidnapper tried to take Kerwin away as a hostage after receiving the ransom, but he was in a car accident on
the road. The kidnapper was killed instantly, while Kerwin was seriously injured.
However, many details were not made public at the time, so people did not know that Kerwin was
injured in both legs and only knew that he had been weak and sick since he went to America for
treatment.
“I’ve probably heard something about it,” Betty said. “So he continued to pretend to be disabled after he was treated in America?”
“But.” Jason tilted his head. “Mrs. Martin, guess why?”
Betty found him to be funny.
Jason and Kerwin had completely different personalities. A person like Jason may be very popular
with girls.
“You want me to guess?” Betty pretended to think seriously. “Is he doing it to get the Martin family to let down their guards
against him?”

Betty thought about why Kerwin was pretending to be disabled before, so she had her guess in her mind long ago.
As a journalist, although she did not know much about the inner affairs of powerful families, she could probably guess that the
reason that Kerwin had tried so hard to hide the truth had something to do with his family.
She had never met Kerwin’s elder brother, Jeffrey’s father, Henry, who was rumored to be a very ambitious and ruthless man.
Since Bruce was old, Henry was mainly responsible for managing the Martin family business.
Kerwin cut ties with the Martin family and started his own business from scratch, so he could avoid
conflict with Henry.
Could it be that Kerwin is pretending to be a cripple because of his elder brother?
Jason gave Betty an approving look after hearing her speculation. “Well done. You’re pretty smart.”
Betty chuckled, embarrassed. “I’ve seen a lot of family dramas in TV series about rich families.”
Jason burst into laughter. “Because the Martin family owns a large family business, the relationship between the family members
is as complicated as what you have seen in those TV series. Although Kerwin seems to be arrogant, he’s had a hard time over
the years.”
Betty was stunned but nodded.
Kerwin was healthy but in a wheelchair for the past ten years. And he had to defend himself from his family, so he must be very
tired.
“So,” Jason spoke again, suddenly withdrawing his smile and looking serious. “Mrs. Martin, you must make him happy.”
Betty didn’t expect Jason to say something like this and then froze.
av SO
However, what kind of happiness could she bring to him?
Before Betty could answer his question, she suddenly heard a steady footstep and a cold voice. “What are you talking about?”
Betty turned her head and saw that it was Kerwin who had returned.

Kerwin was lanky. He was wearing a light blue shirt to show his perfect body shape.
Was WE
Betty’s eyes darkened.
How does it feel to be confined to a wheelchair for a man as brilliant as him?
“I was telling your wife that I fell in love with her at first sight. And I’m about to steal her.” The moment Jason saw Kerwin, he put
on a naughty smile. “Kerwin, you know how charming I am. A lot of women admire me, so you’d better watch out.”
“Stop making such a comparison!” Kerwin said as he walked over to the table. Then he unscrewed the red wine in his hand with
a corkscrew. “You are way out of her league.”
“Gee, you’re so confident,” Jason grunted.
During the dinner with Jake, Betty found him to be hilarious. And Jake didn’t wipe his mouth and got up until he finished the last
dessert.
“Mrs. Martin, I have a date later. I’ll leave you two alone. And I’ll see you next time.”
Betty and Kerwin sent Jason away. They watched Jason drive away his red sports car and then went back to the dining room.
Kerwin was taking the plates back to the kitchen.
“I got it,” Betty said immediately and tried to take over the plates, but he stopped her.
“I could still wash some dishes,” Kerwin whispered.
Betty had no choice but to wash the dishes with him.
After putting the dishes in the dishwasher, Kerwin said, “What did Jason say to you?”
Betty froze for a moment and was going to tell him the truth. “He told me the reason why you
pretended to be a cripple.”
“Alright.” Kerwin wasn’t surprised.

Jason and Kerwin had been friends for years, so Kerwin could guess what Jason had told her.
“Do you blame me?” Kerwin raised his eyes to stare at Betty.
Betty froze and didn’t respond. “Blame you for what?”
“I should have told you earlier.” Kerwin put the last plate into the sink.
Betty chuckled. “It makes no difference. Jason wouldn’t have dared tell me without your permission, would he?”
Kerwin couldn’t help but glance at Betty.
Although Betty was not talkative, she figured it all in her heart.
Kerwin led Betty out of the kitchen. “Jason is more eloquent than I am.”
It meant that Jason might be able to tell the story more clearly than he did.
“As for the details...” Kerwin hesitated and added, “I still can’t tell you. And it will put you in danger. I hope you’ll understand.”
Betty nodded. “I know you’re trying to protect me.”
Betty’s tender words reassured Kerwin. And he could not help but squeeze her hands tighter.
Then, Betty blushed. When she was about to say something, she heard her cell phone ringing in the living room.
“Well, I have to take a call.” She lowered her head, pulled her hands back, and walked to the living
room.
Betty picked up the phone on the coffee table and looked at the caller ID, which made her frown.
She said, deadpan, “Emily, why are you calling me?”
