Rebecca thought to herself, ‘No way is this about sleeping her way to the top. Jeffrey isn’t that ridiculous.

“You can ask him yourself,” Andrea said, pretending to stay calm. “I promised him I'd keep it to myself.”

“If you're not gonna tell me, then there's no point in this partnership,” Rebecca said, practically driving her away.

“Just stick to being his side chick.”

“Rebecca!” Andrea hadn't expected her genuine offer to be shut down so coldly.

Rebecca tilted her chin, pointing at the “No Loud Talking” sign on the wall.

Andrea clenched her fists and whispered, “Can’t you see that Jeffrey just treats you like his plaything? As long as

he’s not done with you, you'll never get away.”

“Are you done?” Rebecca already knew all of this.

“I can help you get a normal life,” Andrea insisted. “Once you're free from him, I'll finally have him all to myself.

It's a win-

win.”

“Seriously, do you have no shame?” Rebecca was honestly tempted to slap her.

Andrea said righteously, “I'm helping you here.”

Rebecca was done with the conversation. “Get lost.”

“Think it over.” Andrea stood up, gripping her bag tightly. “Since you disagree today, I'll find a way to kick you

out. When are you going to start using your brain?”

Rebecca grabbed her bag and threw it at Andrea.

Andrea screamed, clutching her forehead where the bag had hit her.

Rebecca shot her a glare that could cut glass.

“What do you think you're doing?” Andrea's anger flared, her eyes turning sharp and cold.

Rebecca said with a cold face, “Last warning. If you don’t get out, next tit'll be the chair flying at you.”

“You'll pay for this. Just wait,” Andrea spat, her glare sharp as a knife. “You'll regret it.”

Rebecca didn’t spare her a second glance. After Andrea stormed off in her heels, Rebecca bent down to pick up

the bag from the floor, feeling a complicated mix of emotions inside her.

Sometimes Rebecca admired Andrea’s shamelessness, actually convincing herself that being the mistress meant

helping the wife. That level of audacity really did make her and Jeffrey a perfect match. No wonder Andrea was

fine with Jeffrey being two-timed.

Right then, Rebecca's phone lit up with a ding. It was a message from an unknown number. [Your glory days are

Rebecca immediately blocked and deleted the number. She knew it was Andrea. For a mistress to talk to her that

way was honestly unhinged, and as for her so-called terms, Rebecca didn’t believe a single word.

‘If even lan and Jessica couldn't change Jeffrey’s mind, how could Andrea, a nobody with no family, no brains,

and no background?‘ Rebecca thought. ‘After all these years, Andrea's ego is still as inflated as ever.”

Little did Rebecca know, Jeffrey had been watching the whole time, catching every word and gesture in detail.

On the top floor of the hospital, in one of the offices, Jeffrey and Stanley sat in front of a computer, watching the

surveillance feed from outside the operating room.

They'd been there since Rebecca’s mom was wheeled in, just making sure the surgery went smoothly and

maybe seeing if Rebecca would spill anything to lan. Instead, they got a front-row seat to the full between

Rebecca and Andrea.

Stanley awkwardly cleared his throat. “Um...” He thought, ‘If I'd known this, | wouldn't have bothered coming!

They didn’t see lan, but an awkward scene happened.

Jeffrey's deep eyes briefly flicked over to Stanley.

“Guess Rebecca still can’t let go of you,” Stanley said, scrambling to say something. “Andrea made her a great

offer, and she didn’t take it. She must still be into you.”

Jeffrey shot him a look like he was stupid.

“What? Why are you looking atlike that?” Stanley muttered.

Jeffrey didn’t say anything. If Rebecca had been the type to take Andrea's offer, she would've taken his a long

tago.

“Judging by what Andrea said before she left, she’s probably going to try to mess with Rebecca.” Stanley

changed the subject, still not getting what was going on in Jeffrey's head. “Aren’t you going to say anything to

her?”

Jeffrey replied quietly, “About what?”

“Tell her not to target Rebecca,” Stanley said. “Rebecca’s already divorced you, and she doesn’t care about you

anymore. If Andrea goes after her, she’s just looking for a fight.”

Jeffrey's eyes darkened instantly, and the room seemed to get colder.

Stanley's heart started pounding. ‘I'm just stating the facts here. Why does he look mad again?‘ he thought.

“She can do whatever she wants,” Jeffrey said, his voice cold and his mood unreadable. “No matter what trouble

she causes, I'll always have her back.”

Stanley blinked. “Wait... Who are you talking about, Andrea or Rebecca?”

“Who do you think?” Jeffrey answered unhurriedly.

“Seriously, is something wrong with you?” Stanley pointed to his head, totally confused. “You divorced Rebecca

of Andrea, but now Andrea’s going after Rebecca, and you're actually backing Andrea up?”

“I only stand up for my own people,” Jeffrey replied simply.

Stanley tried to reason with him. “Look, don’t forget that Andrea is only making trouble for Rebecca because you

keep sticking your nose in her life.”

“And?” Jeffrey didn’t even blink.

Stanley stared at him, completely baffled. ‘Seriously? What do you mean? No sane person would pull this stunt,”

he thought.

Stanley smirked. ‘A way out? Yeah, right. Sounds more like a dead end to me,’ he thought. ‘Any sane person with

a shred of dignity would rather live on the streets than take that way out.”

Just as Stanley was about to try one last tto reason with him, Jeffrey’s phone rang. The screen lit up with

Andrea’s

name.

Jeffrey answered, and Andrea’s whiny, pitiful voice cthrough. “Jeffrey, where are you?”

“At the office,” Jeffrey replied, sounding completely calm.

Stanley couldn’t help but roll his eyes. ‘Wow, the guy's really good at lying through his teeth,’ he thought.

Andrea complained, her voice shaky.

She added, “She hitright on the forehead. Look, it’s all scraped up.”

“I'll send a doctor over to check on you,” Jeffrey said, his tone soft and patient. “I'll cback as soon as I'm

“I don’t care how she’s feeling,” Jeffrey said smoothly, his tone still mild. “All | know is she hurt you.”

“But...” Andrea tried to argue.

“Alright. Go hnow,” Jeffrey said.
