Contract Marriage With The Disabled CEO Chapter 162
Chapter 162 A Gift For You
While Betty was still nervous, Kerwin continued with his talking about his new fund Betty Fund, his voice self-composed. He was
sure and calm even with Betty’s hand in his, which slowly calmed her panicked mind.
“Betty Fund is Tylman Group’s highest
return fund and the one with the most
consistent returns. Because it is named after
my wife, I hope this fund can give more to people in need to improve their financial
situation and further improve their quality of
life.”
Kerwin said a lot about Tylman Group as
well, but Betty just stood next to him and
heard nothing. She was still dizzy by the
flashing lights.
Off the stage, Sarah said to Kevin the
photographer with a smug face, “Betty’s
husband is Mr. Martin. I don’t think Lydia is going to give her a hard time!”
“We need to be good to Betty too, not to mention Lydia!” said Kevin.
“Shut your mouths. From now on, don’t
mention the name of Kerwin Martin in the
magazine, do you hear me?” said Jeffrey in a
cold voice.
Yes, yes. Sarah and the colleagues hastily
nodded their heads.
The editor-in-chief was angry, but why?
Sarah spat out her tongue in disbelief.
On the stage, Kerwin and Betty walked
together to the champagne fountain and
poured champagne, looking forward to a
prosperous future for the fund.
That was the end of Kerwin’s speech, following which was the commentary time for several fund managers. Kerwin and Betty got
off stage.
Sitting down in the middle of the first row,
Kerwin squeezed Betty’s hand, “Your hand is very cold.”
“Maybe I was too nervous,” Betty lifted the corner of her mouth.
Kerwin looked at her and said in a low voice,
“Did I scare you?”
Betty shook her head.
It was more of a surprise than a scare.
Although not comfortable with such
attention, as a woman, it was still gratifying
to be affirmed by her husband.
The press conference was soon over. Sarah and the colleagues didn’t ask Betty to go with
them.
In the car, Jeffrey’s face looked horrible, which frightened the staff in the magazine.
Sarah was the fearless one, “Betty has really made a splash today. She has made Filson look really good! We should throw a
party for her when we are back. The handsome Mr.
Martin should also come.”
“Stop the fangirling, Sarah. Mr. Martin is
Betty’s husband. Even the fox preys farthest
from his hole,” said Kevin.
“What do you know,” Sarah said, “I still
remember the first time Betty and I went to
interview Mr. Martin, who acted very weird
that time. He kept asking Betty questions
about if she was married or not. And now in
retrospect, he was flirting with her. Oh my
God! I can’t believe I witnessed it!”
“So, Betty was already married to Kerwin when the interview with him took place?”
Kevin asked.
Sarah said agreeing, “I guess so. I remember Betty had just put a wedding ring on her finger that day. She had actually just got
married to Mr. Martin already! Betty has not been honest with us. She should have told us
earlier. We’ve been in the dark this whole time. I even suspected that her husband was a cleaner. Oh dear, there is no cleaner
husband so handsome and capable! He is obviously a bossy CEO.”
Jeffrey took a heavy cough and the people in the car quieted down.
Sarah felt that Jeffrey didn’t seem as excited and happy as they were. He was even a bit Chapter 163 aCIALE
angry. She didn’t understand why, but still, she zipped her mouth and didn’t dare to speak a word anymore.
Walking out of the venue, Betty felt
completely alive.
She wanted to go back to the magazine, but
Kerwin stopped her, saying he was going to
take her to a nice place.
Betty thought it might be a good idea. If she went back to the magazine today, those
people would definitely not let her go,
surrounding her with questions of gossip, and she hadn’t figured out a perfect
explanation for them yet.
So, Betty and Kerwin got into the car
together.
After sitting down, she finally came out of that dazed state and her mind cleared up at
once.
Kerwin has been watching the change in her expression. Seeing her finally recover a little. bit, he whispered to her, “adapted to it
now?”
Betty gave a bitter smile.
Although she had been married to Kerwin for
a while, she still needed time to adjust
herself, to identify herself as the official Mrs.
Martin.
Kerwin guessed what she was thinking and frowned slightly, “Do you blame me? For
making our relationship public without your
consent?”
“Of course not,” Betty shook her head gently, “I just think it’s too high profile. I thought you didn’t like it that way.”
“No, I don’t,” Kerwin didn’t deny it.
“Then why did you tell every one of them
that I’m your wife? Aren’t you afraid of the bad publicity it will bring to you?”
“But, I just want everyone to know that,” Kerwin looked at Betty, solemnly, “You,
Betty, are my woman.”
Betty felt her heart miss a beat.
And Kerwin, at the sight of Betty’s slightly opened lips and flushed cheeks, could not
help but kiss her gently.
Betty’s grappled nerves at the conference
were now completely loosened after this kiss.
Betty felt that she was not just in love with
Kerwin, but very, very deeply in love with him. The warmth he brought to her had made her want to stay with him forever. She
wanted to be with him like this for the rest of
her life.
She fell into Kerwin’s arms and whispered,
“Thank you, Kerwin.”
And almost invisibly, the corner of Kerwin’s mouth lifted slightly.
It seemed that the fund and the high-profile
announcement were worth it.
He had not only given Betty a surprise, but more importantly, he had wanted to make their relationship open and official.
He had never wanted to hide his marriage
with Betty. He had not bothered to make a special account of it only because of his alone and cold personality.
But now, whether it had been because of
Jeffrey or Yolanda, it had made him want to
be high-profile for once.
The world needed to know that he and Betty
were husband and wife, rightfully and lawfully.
In the car, Kerwin held her hand and didn’t
let it go.
Betty felt warm in her heart, but at the same
time she looked outside the window at the
fast-passing scenery, frowning, “Kerwin, where exactly are you taking me? This
doesn’t seem to be the route home?”
Kerwin smiled and said, “I have another gift for you.”
A gift?
Betty couldn’t imagine what else Kerwin had prepared for her after this big surprise
earlier today.
She asked a few questions, but Kerwin
wouldn’t say anything.
After a while, the car finally arrived at the
destination and stopped.
Betty looked out the window curiously, and when she saw the building outside the
window, her face completely changed.
