Chapter 134
Rory had built his career in entertainment from the ground up, never once using the Southborough Powell name. Almost no one knew his true identity.
But Jensen did.
It seemed his guess was correct. Rebekah had a deep connection to the Powell family.
Rory found Rebekah’s room just after Faye had left for a work emergency.
When Rory took off his mask, Rebekah’s eyes widened. “The actor, Rory!” she exclaimed. “I never got to thank you for today p>
Rory sat down by her bed, a warm smile on his face. “You’re the one who gave me the chance to be a hero. I should be thanking you for boosting my karma p>
Rebekah blinked, then chuckled. She hadn’t expected the seemingly aloof movie star to have such an odd sense of humor.
“The police couldn’t find any evidence, and the Forresters kept insisting it was a family matter, so they dropped it,” he told her.
Rebekah had expected as much and wasn’t particularly surprised. “It’s okay. Thank you, anyway. If it weren’t for you today, I would have been beaten half to death p>
“Does this happen often? This is domestic abuse! It’s illegal!” Rory said, his voice laced with indignation.
Rebekah shook her head. “He’s my husband’s cousin. He’s not all there.” She didn’t want to dwell on her personal life. Changing the subject, she smiled at him. “Thank you for coming to see me. If it’s not too much trouble, could you give me your autograph p>
Rory was taken aback. When she produced a pen and held out the jacket hanging nearby, a look of genuine surprise crossed his face. “You… want my autograph p>
Rebekah nodded. “You’re my idol. I follow all your work.” *And the gossip,* she added silently, though she was too embarrassed to ask.
Rory was ecstatic. His little sister was his fan! If his three brothers found out, they’d be green with envy.
Meeting her hopeful gaze, he quickly agreed. “Of course, of course.” He signed her jacket. We should exchange numbers, he said if you ever need anything, just call me p>
Rebekah couldn’t believe it. The
famous Rory wanted to exchangeet about his information feakin z
numbers with her. Wasn’t he worried
“You don’t want to?” he asked, his expression falling when she hesitated.
“I do, I do!” Rebekah quickly pulled out her phone.
After they exchanged contact information, Rory didn’t stay long. He put his mask back on and left.
The moment he was out of the hospital, he eagerly sent a message to the family group chat.
**The Powell’s Heartthrob:** Little Sis said with her own mouth that I’m her idol. Bet you didn’t see that coming, haha!
**Good Guy:**?
**The Motorcycle King:** You peacock! How did YOU get to see Little Sis p>
**Head of Household:** Answer your phone.
Rory had barely read the message when his phone rang. His big brother never wasted any time.
“How is she p>
“She’s in the hospital. I talked to the doctor. The injuries aren’t severe, but she has a head wound, so she needs to be observed.” Rory’s tone became serious. “Big brother, her marriage isn’t a happy one! The Forrester family clearly protected their own. We have to get revenge for her p>
A cold laugh came from the other end of the line. “The Forrester family must not
want to do business in the Capital anymore p>
