Chester Robinson stood coldly, his voice laced with fury, "You’re nothing but a tramp!"
"You..."
Chester laughed coldly, "Have you forgotten how you sched to tear Howard Geoffrey and Rebecca Quentin apart? How you shalessly tarnished Rebecca’s reputation to elevate yourself? You call Rebecca a tramp, but in my eyes, you’re not even worth that!"
"Chester!!" Alice Robinson angrily swung a slap.
Chester caught Alice’s hand a second early, looking at her flawless beauty without a hint of warmth, with a mocking smile, "Stop flattering yourself; to , you’ve never been anything!"
In that mont, Alice’s body trembled, the anger-driven hand softened under Chester’s strong grip.
Chester harshly let go of Alice.
Alice staggered back in disbelief, staring at Chester.
Her eyes were filled with impossibility, her usual confident bright gaze now replaced by boundless sadness.
She retreated in a daze, her face pale, as if greatly shocked, murmuring, "What... what did you say..."
Chester cruelly replied, "You heard loud and clear!"
Alice shook her head furiously, "No, that can’t be..."
Faced with Alice’s strong reaction, Chester coldly replied, "I want to sleep, get out!"
Tears flowed freely as Alice stubbornly said, "I won’t leave; try to make !"
Chester frowned in displeasure, "Do you really want to make it ugly?"
Alice’s tear-filled eyes looked sadly at Chester’s indifferent face, her body rooted to the spot.
Chester suddenly picked up the room’s phone, seemingly calling the villa’s servant.
As Chester picked up the phone, Alice dashed into his arms, tightly hugging him, "Brother... don’t treat like this..."
The phone fell due to Alice’s embrace, Chester froze in place.
Alice held Chester tightly, sorrow leaving her lips, "The day I called Howard Geoffrey, he told he was in T City... I knew he was with Rebecca Quentin, because I asked Lisa Cecily, and she told he had reconciled with Rebecca... I didn’t believe it, so I called him, to hear him say it himself... at that mont I knew Rebecca was by his side, I wanted to scream, but I couldn’t do it to Howard Geoffrey... after that day, I couldn’t reach him anymore, until Dad called asking if sothing was wrong between Howard Geoffrey and because the dia saw him going in and out of the love-nest with Rebecca... I didn’t dare to tell Dad the truth, afraid he’d scold ... I didn’t dare go anywhere, scared the dia would chase after , so I ca to find you..."
"If you want to win, hold back your tears; tears are for losers!"
Alice slowly raised her tear-filled eyes, breaking into a smile, "You still care about , don’t you?"
Chester distanced himself from Alice, coldly replied, "I don’t care about you; I’m just trying to achieve my own goals."
Alice wiped away her tears, trying to appear strong as she asked, "What should I do now?"
"Do nothing."
Alice was taken aback, "You want to watch Rebecca Quentin take Howard Geoffrey away?"
Chester replied coldly, "I won’t explain why to you; whether you listen is up to you!"
Alice stood stunned.
After nearly twenty days of recuperation, Rebecca Quentin’s body was no longer a major concern. Of course, her wounds still needed ti to heal, but she’d returned to her normal life and didn’t have to lie in bed all day anymore.
Howard Geoffrey suggested they return to New York in a couple of days, as there was a lot of work awaiting him at the company, and most importantly, they had to go ho.
Yes, to his ho, which would also be hers in the future.
"What are you thinking that makes you smile so happily?"
A voice suddenly and silently ca from behind Rebecca Quentin.
Sitting leisurely on the couch reading a magazine, Rebecca was startled but gently reached out to embrace the person beside her, softly saying, "I was thinking about going back to New York with you."
Howard Geoffrey smiled, "Thinking about this first thing in the morning?"
"Yes, I’m thinking about what to bring to New York."
"Everything’s there."
Rebecca leaned on Howard Geoffrey’s shoulder, seriously said, "I need to bring Andrew a gift, and also buy sothing for your mother."
