Chapter 54 Whom Did You Want to Marry Then
Tyrone did not expect Shayla to come in out of the blue. He hung up in a jiffy and tried to snatch the
black card back. However, Shayla moved nimbly to one side.
"Tyrone, am I your biological sister?" Shayla asked, "It's so selfish of you to hide your money like this!"
Tyrone was so helpless because the card had nothing to do with him.
"Shayla, listen up, this is not my card, and we can't spend the money in it," Tyrone said. He tried to
grab the card, but Shayla hid it directly in her arms.
"Tyrone, you even lied through teeth in order not to let me spend your money." Shayla asked, "Didn't
you say you got a large amount of money for winning first place in the competition? Didn't you say I
could have whatever you had? You not only don't allow me to use your money now but also said this
was not your card. Isn't it too much?"
Tyrone came to a realization that there was no way he could explain everything to her. As a result, he
simply said, "Forget it. I cave in. You can have this card. It's me, your biological brother, giving this to
you!"
His tone betrayed a tinge of jealousy. He was sad that his sister who grew up with him preferred
Damion to him.
"Are you really giving this to me?" Shayla was on cloud nine. "Is a password needed? And what is it?"
"Figure it out yourself." How did he know the password? Tyrone went back to his bedroom and closed
the door.
After that, Tyrone actually couldn't fall asleep. He hated that he was still a child. If he were an adult, he
would be able to take care of Bethany himself in the hospital and didn't need that jerk to do it.
"Beth, how are you feeling today? Are you feeling better?" Tyrone sent a message to Bethany. He
thought it would take a long time for him to receive her reply, but unexpectedly, he got it rather soon.
[Don't worry, Tyrone. I'm much better today.]
After replying to the message, Bethany put her mobile phone aside. That was the new mobile phone
Raymond bought for her. Originally, she firmly refused to take it, but her own could not be turned on
anymore.
She was afraid that Tyrone could not get ahold of her, so she ended up taking it.
"Thank you for the phone. I'll return the money to you," Bethany said.
"Your phone was out of order twice altogether because of me. I'm obliged to buy you a new one
anyway," Raymond uttered.
Raymond was loaded and generous, and getting a new phone for her was nothing to him. There was
no point wasting her breath refusing him. Besides, she was too weak to do it. In the end, she gave up.
"You look much better today." Bethany had not had any strength in the past few days, and even
speaking was difficult for her. However, he could tell that she was much better with the naked eye.
"Mm-hmm." Bethany nodded. "Thanks to Mr. Zavala's care, I do feel better. Don't let me keep you
here."
As the big project to build a casino had been put on the agenda, he was supposed to be swamped with
work indeed.
Raymond had always been a workaholic, but weirdly, he actually postponed the bid opening of the
project for the sake of Bethany by a month this time.
Because of that, the C-level executives in the company helped Raymond deal with his daily work, so
now all his focus was on Bethany.
"I own the company. It's up to me whether I'm busy or not." Raymond said, "As I said before, I'm to
blame for your car accident. I won't leave until you recover and leave the hospital."
What a sense of responsibility!
Since he insisted, Bethany had to let him be.
Suddenly, Raymond's mobile phone rang. Seeing "Mom" on the mobile phone screen, he had a bad
feeling.
"Have a rest. I'll go out to answer the call." Raymond walked out of the inpatient building before picking
it up.
"Hello, Mom."
"How dare you still call me Mom?" Mrs. Gina huffed. "I've only been abroad for a few days, and you
kicked my daughter-in-law out. Do you still know I'm your mom?"
"Who told you that? Aria or Mr. Shepard?" NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
"Does it matter?" Mrs. Gina asked, "Just tell me if it's true?"
"Yes!" Raymond said firmly.
"You're really trying to piss me off!" Mrs. Gina said angrily, "Raymond, you should know that the Zavala
family and the Shepard family are not only friends for generations but also have economic interests
involved. If we really have a falling-out with each other, it'll take its toll on both sides. Moreover, after
your father passed away, Karter also helped me a lot when I first took over the company. As for Aria,
she has been waiting for you for three years when you were in a coma, so your wife can only be Aria
no matter what!"
"No matter what?" Raymond found it ridiculous and uttered, "So in your eyes, my marriage has nothing
to do with my personal willingness and happiness, and it's nothing short of a tool for family
development?"
"You're not living in an ordinary family. You were born with a mission. If a marriage of convenience is
conducive to family development, then you must go for it!"
"What if I refuse?" Raymond said categorically, "My marriage to Aria was decided by the parents from
the very beginning, and I never agreed. I don't like Aria, and now I even hate her guts. I will never
marry her!"
"Who else do you want to marry if not her? Bethany?"
The mention of Bethany took Raymond by surprise.
Sure enough, the Shepard family had already told his mother everything.
"Am I right?" Since Raymond didn't reply immediately, Mrs. Gina realized she got it right. In the next
second, she saw red and snapped, "I'll book a plane ticket back now. I'd like to see who this woman
named Bethany is, and how could she make you fall head over heels?"
"Mom, wait!" Raymond hurriedly stopped her.
His mother was a hard nut to crack. If Bethany was in a good condition now, he would protect her well,
but the fact was that she was very fragile for now.
If Mrs. Gina came to give her a hard time, it would certainly have an impact on her recovery. No matter
what, he had to make sure that Bethany recovered first before anything else.
"Is that what the Shepard family told you?" Raymond said without turning a hair, "It makes sense
though because that's what I told them, but that's not the case. I just said that in the hopes that Aria
would give up. Bethany is just my personal doctor. The sequelae of my serious injury and coma have
been aggravated, and only she can help me with it."
"Your sequelae are getting worse?" Upon hearing what he said, Mrs. Gina became very nervous.
"Really? What's going on?"
"Relax. There are just signs of aggravation. Bethany is treating me, and she says it can be cured."
"Will it be cured? And only she can cure it?" Mrs. Gina obviously didn't believe it as she uttered, "There
are so many famous doctors at home and abroad, but it can only be cured by such a young girl? Ray,
you really try hard to prevent me from going back to trouble her."
