Endtimate destination Ingried in Chalstopher’amind. He molled ever it for a moment theep
The jeep numbled down the bumpy mad and headed toward the town, Suddenly, a mam sprinted out from the street and flagged down the vehicle
“Bock!” The man’s voice was full of emotion, Rebecca Imze when the saw that it was Lemmy. The moment she recognized him, her hands clenched into tists, an
Leny was the one who caused her death Memories other final moments flooded back. He had forced her to sign over her inheritance and stood by coldly as her body writhed inpain Tormentovertook her until the breathed her last in the Smith residence. Her death went unavenged.
*Becky, don’t leave me You promised we’d get manted. How could you leave for the city without me?” Leroy chased after the vehicle while banging on the windows desperately.
Christopher’s impression of Rebecca wavered once agalis. Ite glanced at Leroy and recalled her bold remark earlier about finding a better partner. Annoyance flared
“Stop the car “itis expression was dark
The chauffeur reluctantly stopped. Realizing Christophier was about to get out, Theberra abruptly reached out to stop him. Her expression was resolute. “I’ll handle this myself ”
He glanced at her delicate hand gripping his arm. The frostbitten redness of her fingers was stark against her pale skin. She got out of the car and looked at Leroy
Lemy tried to grab her hand, and histonew was pleading, “Becky, don’t leave. Let’s get married! I’ll take care of you, I swear!”
Rebecca held back the urge to slap him. She took a deep breath and pulled her hand away. She firmly declared, “Leroy, it’s over.”
Disbelief clouded Leroy’s face as he shook his head frantically. “I don’t believe it, you’re not the kind of person to leave me for wealth and status. You can’t be like what Landa said–chasing after power”
Rebecca’s expression tumed cold. “Stop pretending to care. Haven’t you been wavering between me and Layla all this time? You’re drawn to my face but can’t resist her charmi.“
Leroy froze. Even though the doors muffled her voice, the chauffeur and Christopher both stiffened at her words inside the car. They could guess what she said from her lips and her tone.
“Don’t think I’m not aware. I saw you sneaking around with her, kissing her. I should’ve ended things with you ages ago. You’re the kind of trash who deserves to be dumped Rebecca spoke without mercy, as if she were venting all the grievances and anger from her past lite
Now that this was her second chance at life, there were many things she no longer wanted to tolerate in her past life, she had been foolish enough to think that getting married to Leroy would allow her to escape the Barton family
“Rebecca, you-“Leroy’s face turned beet red with cage.
“Enough. I’m heading to the city to start fresh and live a good life. Don’t bother me again.” she pointed toward the Jeep. “See that? The people inside armed. They won’t hesitate to take you down if you keep pestering me.
She mimicked the sound of a gunshot. Without waiting for his response, she turned and got back into the car settling in, she smiled at the chauffeur. “We can go
“Ms. Barton, all resolved? The chauffeur stole a glance at the dumbfounded man outside, then back at her serene expression.
She nodded. “Yes, we parted amicably Everything ended peacefully.”
The chauffeur doubted her words. Didn’t she threaten to shoot Leroy? He laughed awkwardly and started the engine.
Christopher sat in silence. In such a short span, he had seen Rebecca display several vastly different sides of herself.
She was calculative and flattering when dealing with Layla, to the village, she was adept at playing the victim. When speaking of Vaughn, she seemed genuine and upright. Just now, she had been domineering and authless, and now, she sat beside him looking all soft
He glanced at her, only to meet her calm smile.
