"You feel wronged and innocent?" Frank Parker’s voice, as though enveloped in frost, filtered into her ears. He suddenly laughed coldly and when he spoke again, the chill in his voice made Rebecca Kelloway shiver involuntarily.
"Rebecca Kelloway, do you think I’m unaware of all the dirty and despicable things you’ve done behind my back? All of this, you brought it upon yourself. Don’t play the victim with , don’t pretend to be innocent. Rember, you brought all the consequences upon yourself."
"Also, since you’ve called , it saves the trouble of trying to notify you. From now on, any ti your Kelloway Group has a deal to make, the Parker Group will compete. From this mont on, I declare us to be formal enemies."
"What - what are you saying?" Rebecca Kelloway wide-eyed in disbelief, trembled once again from rage, "Frank Parker, are you going to treat like this?! What for, for Joanna Lawrence?"
"Yes, for her." Frank Parker no longer concealed his emotions.
"You’ve really fallen in love with her, haven’t you?"
Rebecca Kelloway was sowhat agitated, never expecting Frank to admit so readily that all of this was for Joanna Lawrence.
Anger surged within her but a greater part of her felt an exhilarating sense of triumph.
Since the beginning of this call, she had been recording their conversation.
She held no other expectations of Frank Parker.
From the mont he posted on his blog, they were destined to beco enemies.
For Joanna, he abandoned her, so his feelings for her were definitely non-existent.
So, she won’t hold back anymore.
From now on, Rebecca Kelloway and Frank Parker truly severed all relations.
From the beginning, she never really liked this man.
She only thought he was a good catch and was extrely kind to her. Being protected by such a man was a great satisfaction to her vanity.
But then, the Kelloway family was forced into a corner.
She was forced into an arranged marriage.
After interacting with so many unpleasant n, she realized how exceptional he was, thought about their past together, and then started to develop feelings for him.
If Frank Parker had accepted her, she would still gladly have marched down the aisle with him and stayed by his side.
But, if he insisted on becoming her enemy, well, then he would be her enemy.
He was heartless to her,
So he can’t bla her for being ungracious to him.
Frank Parker didn’t respond right away, and their conversation drifted into silence.
Rebecca Kelloway waited for a hot mont, but his response never ca. She couldn’t hold herself in any longer and blurted out: "Frank Parker, speak up. Have you fallen in love with Joanna Lawrence?"
"Rebecca Kelloway, are you recording this conversation?" Frank Parker’s cold voice dripped with nace.
Rebecca Kelloway suddenly clenched her fingers around her phone. "I’m not. Frank Parker, I’m not as vile as you seem to think."
"Hmm, indeed, you’re not as vile as I thought. You’re even more vile than I imagined."
"Frank Parker, you... !"
"You know what they say, "Smart people often outsmart themselves." Your little tricks, you think I don’t know them?" Frank Parker chuckled coldly. "Rebecca Kelloway, I’ve been too nice to you. As a result, it seems you have no idea what the consequences of angering are. You also don’t know who I, Frank Parker, truly am."
Frank Parker stated it all matter-of-factly.
But Rebecca Kelloway suddenly shivered.
A trace of fear inexplicably seeped into her heart.
"Frank Parker, what... what are you getting at? Are you threatening ?"
"Threatening?" Frank Parker gave another cold laugh—only this ti, the chill in his laughter prompted even more terror. "No, you’re wrong. This is not a threat. I’m just giving you advance notice. From now on, I will let you really understand who I am."
After finishing his sentence, Frank Parker ended the call.
Listening to the disconnected line, Rebecca Kelloway turned sowhat pale.
Her fingers slowly dug into her palm while her face, losing all color, was contorted with loathing.
"Frank Parker, are you really taking that bitch’s side? Are you really going to start ssing with ? Fine, bring it on. I, Rebecca Kelloway, am not afraid at all." Enraged beyond reason, she slamd her phone to the ground.
Her recently bought cellphone shattered on impact, its screen thoroughly smashed.
"Fine! I’ll see who will have the last laugh. Initially, I didn’t want to retaliate but if you insist on defending that bitch... then... you can go to hell together."

anwhile, on the other side.
Joanna Lawrence had compiled all the evidence collected by Jeremy Lawrence and sent them to Linda, telling her to present it to the Public Relations Departnt of HE Company.
Linda took a look at the evidence collected by Joanna Lawrence.
After reading, she was filled with elation, her previous frustrations and sense of defeat replaced with a renewed energy. Clutching her phone, she excitedly said, "This evidence is so condemning, she wouldn’t be able to deny it even if she tried to fabricate so lie!"
"Joanna, how did you manage to get a hold of all this evidence? Did you hire a hacker? No wonder you weren’t worried at all, you had already planned your counterattack. Your approach is indeed much better than just deleting the hot search topics and hiring online trolls to control public opinion."
"With all this evidence, we’ll be able to hamr Rebecca Kelloway into submission. Let’s see how she dares to act in the future!"
Joanna looked at Linda’s excited deanor and gave a slight smile saying, "No hackers were involved, but I do have a helper who’s even better than a hacker. Getting hold of this evidence was actually quite straightforward."
