Chapter 64 Chapter 64 Jensen sat in his brightly lit office, pinching the bridge of his nose, his fatigue palpable. He had just instructed his assistant to handle the situation with Rebekah. He hadn’t expected the assistant to walk back in before even leaving the room. “Mr. Hawthorne, all the
Chapter 63 Chapter 63 Thanks to Benjamin’s scheming, perjured testimony had landed her in prison. She had already taken the fall for a crime she didn’t commit; how could she possibly clear her name now? After wrestling with her thoughts for what felt like an eternity, she still had no
Chapter 62 Chapter 62 Old Mr. Forrester’s tone was uncompromising. With that, he turned and went upstairs, his resolve crystal clear. It wasn’t just Benjamin and Hortensia who were baffled; even Rebekah couldn’t understand him. Just that afternoon, he had been furious with her for implicating the Forrester Group. Why
Chapter 61 Chapter 61 “Besides you, Benjamin is the only one with the marriage certificate. If it wasn’t you, who was it? Do you really think Benjamin would stand by and watch the Forrester Group burn? Do you think he’s stupid enough to leak his own marriage certificate and get
Chapter 60 Chapter 60 After Hortensia left, Rebekah clenched her right hand, the one with the patch, into a tight fist. A faint ache reminded her of the injury, but it was nothing compared to the pain of before. Hortensia’s words, however, had served as a stark reminder. She had
Chapter 59 Chapter 59 Chapter 59 She opened her profile to find it flooded with new followers, comments, and direct messages. She was bewildered. She had only just created the account and hadn’t even posted anything yet, intending to build a following slowly. Now, thanks to the official tag from
Chapter 58 Chapter 58 Basil replied almost immediately. He loved it, saying it was perfect for Quinn Fashion’s next seasonal collection. A surge of joy and hope washed over Rebekah. This was real. Meanwhile, Basil was so excited that he burst into Quentin’s office without knocking, waving his tablet in
Chapter 57 Chapter 57 Chapter 57 “We have to secure that deal with the Powell family. The group can’t afford another loss p> The words stopped her in her tracks. She peered through the crack in the door. Benjamin sat with his back to her, but she could feel the
Chapter 56 Chapter 56 Chapter 56 The sudden appearance of Old Mr. Forrester caused Benjamin’s bravado to deflate. Seizing the opportunity, Rebekah wrenched her arm free and quickly stepped back, putting distance between them. Benjamin’s hand was suddenly empty. He clenched his fist, a hollow feeling echoing in his chest,
Chapter 55 Chapter 55 “An interview? What could you possibly interview for? With your crippled hands and feet, what kind of work could you possibly do p> Hearing his condescending words, Rebekah let out a cold laugh. “You, of all people, should know exactly how my hand got this way,
Chapter 54 Chapter 54 Chapter 54 Walking out of Quinn Fashion, Rebekah still felt as if she were in a daze. The interview had felt more like a high-stakes business negotiation, with Jensen leading the charge. The final agreement was that Quentin would provide her with simple freelance projects. She
Chapter 53 Chapter 53 Chapter 53 “Are you sure the interview was for today?” Rebekah asked him. “The receptionist said there are no interviews scheduled p> Jensen’s gaze shifted to the receptionist. She was busy at her computer but looked up when she felt his eyes on her. The moment
Chapter 52 Chapter 52 Chapter 52 For the next two days, aside from spending time with Old Mr. Forrester, Rebekah dedicated every waking moment to her design sketches. The patches Jensen had given her worked remarkably well; after just two applications, the pain in her wrist had subsided significantly. Though
Chapter 51 Chapter 51 Rebekah knew exactly who was on the other end of that conversation. A sharp, familiar sadness rose in her chest, come and gone in an instant. She coolly averted her gaze and headed upstairs with the medicine. When Benjamin saw her, his expression instantly hardened. “Where
Chapter 50 Pushing the strange thought aside, Rebekah lowered her gaze and said nothing more. Jensen drove with a steady hand. Ridgeview was a popular scenic spot, and they had to park halfway up the mountain. To spare her ankle, they took a cable car the rest of the way.
Chapter 49 “You’re a real model wife and mother, aren’t you?” Benjamin added with a sneer. Faced with their scorn, Rebekah simply smiled and said nothing. Her hand was practically useless, thanks to them. That one pot of soup had taken all the strength she had. Making anything else would
Chapter 48 The shove sent Rebekah stumbling. The sudden movement jarred her injured ankle, and a sharp pain shot up her leg, nearly causing her to fall. She managed to grab the back of a nearby chair to steady herself. She didn’t bother responding to Hortensia’s accusations. For days, Hortensia
Chapter 47 Benjamin’s face went cold. “Don’t be ridiculous.” He had never considered divorcing Rebekah. Seeing his father’s stern look, Shawn’s lower lip trembled. Benjamin sighed, realizing his tone had been too harsh. He knelt to face his son, his voice softening. “No matter what, she is still your mother.
Chapter 46 He was asking if she had worked on any designs. Rebekah thought of the sketch now reduced to ash in the fireplace. She wasn’t sad about the drawing itself; even after hours of work, it failed to capture the vision in her mind. The design lacked soul, and
Chapter 45 All she had left was her dream of being an artist. She couldn’t let that go. She had always loved to draw and had even studied fashion design for a while in college. After a moment of thought, she took a shaky breath and began to sketch, forcing
