Chapter 23 Felt as if She Were Meeting Her Future Parents-in-law
"You're just an impostor. It's enough for you to know these. Don't ask much!" Raymond reminded her
coldly.
Bethany couldn't help but curse him in her heart. Then she packed up these documents and replied, "I
remember all of the above. Don't worry, and I won't drop the ball."
"Very good," said Raymond, "It's your turn."
"What did you mean?"
"Don't play dumb."
About her information? She indeed had her own story, but her story couldn't be known to the world.
"It's something simple about me. My parents both died, and my husband also died when I was
pregnant. Now it's just me and my children living together."
Her parents both died? Her husband also died?
Seeing him shocked, Bethany couldn't help but ask with a smirk, "What's up? You think I'm a jinx? If
you're afraid of being dead because of me, you can urgently find another to help you. Although you
aren't a good man, you're rich and powerful. As long as you want, many women will... Ah..."
Before Bethany could finish speaking, Raymond suddenly leaned over her. Bethany reflexively leaned
back against the car door.
"You're too green to scare me. Remember, no one is harder to die than me. If you don't want to die, you
have to be obedient, understand?"
He came back to life after three years of coma because of a heavy injury, which was a medical miracle.
Wasn't he tough enough?
"Psychol!" Bethany pushed him away and quickly straightened her clothes.
"Don't pretend to be aloof in front of me. If it weren't for money, how could you have agreed?"
For money? Ah!
As a proverb says, "One who was high and mighty may be bullied by a coward!"
If it weren't because being his fiancée was conducive to finding her son, she wouldn't have agreed to
pretend to be his fiancée. She didn't even want to see him again!
Of course, she couldn't tell him the truth.
"That's right." Bethany said with a very sweet smile, "So for the sake of money, I'll be obedient."
This woman was too quick-tempered!
The car drove into a villa area. Looking at these villas outside the window, she had mixed emotions.
In the prime of the Hamilton family, she also lived in a high-end villa. At that time, her father was still
alive, and that person was also there. But unfortunately...
Raymond's gaze just fell on her eyes and he read the depression in her eyes.
"Here we are." Raymond's words interrupted her thoughts, and Bethany returned to her senses,
pushed open the car door, and then got out of the car.
After getting out of the car, Raymond quickly went into that role and gestured to her. Bethany
understood at once and graciously took his arm.
"Mr. Shepard, Mrs. Shepard, Mr. Zavala is here." Seeing Raymond come in, the maid hurriedly
reported.
At this moment, Bethany was actually a bit nervous and felt as if she were meeting her future parents-
in-law for the first time. The most terrible thing was that she was an impostor.
"Ray, you're here." Karter walked over with an exaggerated smile and a friendly and enthusiastic
expression on his face. The woman following him was his wife, Mrs. Shepard.
Although Karter was past middle age, his temperament was remarkable and he had a very tall and
upright figure, with a charm rarely found in men of this age.
And Mrs. Shepard looked kind and approachable, different from the other mistresses from rich families.
Seeing a woman next to Raymond, the two slightly froze and then looked at each other in surprise.
This moment really made Bethany feel awkward.
"Hello, Uncle, Aunt." After greeting them, Raymond directly introduced Bethany to them, "This is
Bethany, my girlfriend."
Bethany hurriedly bowed slightly and called, "Hello, Mr. Shepard, Mrs. Shepard."

Aria came back and cried, saying that Raymond had another woman. They didn't believe it, thinking
that Aria must have done something that made him angry. That was Raymond's grief talking.
This time they asked Raymond to come over, just to clear up the misunderstanding between the two of
them. Unexpectedly, Raymond really came with a woman!
"Ray!" Hearing the maid report, Aria, who was making up, wore a little foundation again and then ran
downstairs excitedly.
When Aria saw Raymond bring a woman over, her face changed. Mrs. Shepard hurriedly stepped in for
the rescue and shouted to Aria, "Aria, Ray's girlfriend is here. Come down and say hello."
Let her say hello to his new girlfriend?
"Ray, Bethany, please sit down," Karter quickly said.
Bethany looked at Raymond helplessly. Then Raymond took her hand and sat on the sofa together.
When they weren't looking, Karter quickly winked at Aria, telling her not to lose her temper.
Karter also walked to the sofa and sat down, saying to Bethany, "We watch Ray grow up like his
biological parents. So, Bethany, you can make yourself at home here."
Whether they were sincere or not, their attitude made Bethany a good impression of them.
"Thank you, Mr. Shepard," Bethany responded naturally with a smile.
And looking at her close at this moment, Karter was puzzled for a moment and couldn't help but ask,
"Bethany? Have we met before?"
What?
This question surprised Bethany. Many years ago, when she was still the daughter of the Hamilton
family, she was also known as the first lady in Parkville. However, she had been studying abroad and
rarely appeared in public.
Although many people knew her name, few had seen her, not to mention that she changed her name
now.
Even Raymond, such a rich young master, had no impression of her at all, and she didn't remember
whether to meet Karter on any occasion.
"Maybe I just have one of those faces? I have been abroad before. Mr. Shepard, you can't see me."
"That's it." Karter smiled awkwardly, "I got it wrong."
"Raymond, where did you pick up the woman? Even if you want to dump me, you don't need to use her
to humiliate me."
Aria ran over angrily, pointing at Bethany and questioning Raymond.
"Aria, you're so impolite!" Mrs. Shepard couldn't stop her just now.
"It's okay, Aunt. I know Aria is in a bad mood. I brought Bethany over today just to make things clear."
After finishing speaking, Raymond put his arm around Bethany and added, "She's not the woman I
casually found. We've been together for a long time."
"You lie!" Aria didn't believe it.
"Uncle, Aunt," Raymond explained with a quite gentle tone, "Others don't know what the relationship
between me and Aria is, but you do. I've been grateful to Aria, but it's not love. For the sake of Damion,
Aria and I have been pretending to be a couple in the past years. In order to avoid hurting them, I've
never told them about Bethany. Unfortunately, Damion can't get along with Aria. Now that we're a fake
couple and Damion can't accept her as his mother, I think it's unnecessary to continue to do such. I
want to pursue my own happiness. I hope that you can understand."
