Over at Edwards Villa, Theodore calmed down and returned to his study to continue handling business affairs. However, after he turned on his computer, he found an anonymous file in his email.
He then frowned as he opened the file, and gradually, his frown deepened.
Theodore reflected, ‘It was Rebecca who purposely had someone inform Grandma about our divorce the last time we went to Courthouse? And then that lead Grandma to pretend to be sick and stop our divorce from happening?”
He could have believed this file if it had arrived just a few hours earlier, but now…
Theodore raised his hand and touched his face. When he felt the spit from the couple next to Rebecca still on him, his expression darkened.
He didn’t need to think hard to know who was so concerned about his and Rebecca’s marriage. Theodore sneerec and immediately replied to the email: [You need help! Quit prying into other people’s business!]
Meanwhile, over at Mitchell Villa, Janet was about to go to sleep after sending the email, but she was surprised by the special notification sound from her inbox.
Her mind raced, and she excitedly jumped up. Janet had set a special notification only for Theodore, so she couldn’t help but wonder if it was a reply from him.
Janet excitedly clicked open her email, but when she saw his response, she was instantly taken aback.
She wondered, ‘Does Theodore not believe it? But someone really did anonymously call Mrs. Melissa Edwards th day. It must have been Rebecca. I can’t think of anyone else!”
As Janet thought about it, her anger flared up again. She was frustrated that she couldn’t find solid evidence. If had it, Theodore would surely believe her.
With that thought in mind, she sent another message to Theodore’s email: [Someone really called your grandm that day about your divorce. If you don’t believe me, check it yourself. I swear I’m not making this up.]
Once Janet sent the message, she suddenly felt much better.
Although she couldn’t find out who made the anonymous call to Melissa, she wondered if Theodore could find
Janet sneered as she thought about it. Rebecca’s small tricks could only trick children. What a joke.
Back at Edwards Villa, when Theodore received another email, he clicked open it, looked it over, and frowned deeply.

Chapter 47
Rebecca, who was next door, couldn’t sleep and tossed and turned all night. As a result, she was up at dawn the
next day.
Everyone else was still asleep except for the maid, who was busy cooking in the kitchen.
Rebecca entered the kitchen, and the maid was surprised and concerned to see her. “Ms. Carter, why are you up so early? Is there something wrong?”
Rebecca shook her head slightly. “It’s nothing.”
She thought for a moment and asked the maid, “What do my parents usually like to eat? I… I want to make them breakfast myself.”
Lucy was the maid who had always worked for Rebecca’s parents. They had recently moved from Hivalis, and Lucy
came along with them. Rebecca figured that Lucy would know her parents‘ preferences best.
Lucy was confused again after hearing her. Once she snapped out of it, she quickly nodded. “Uh–huh… Mr. Carter and Mrs. Carter will surely be thrilled to know that you’re cooking for them yourself, Ms. Carter.”
Afterward, Rebecca personally prepared breakfast for her parents, knowing that her father loved pancakes in the
morning and her mother preferred a beauty–boosting smoothie bowl.
When Patrick and Debra came downstairs at seven in the morning and learned that their daughter had made breakfast, they were both surprised and delighted.
It was a simple breakfast, but they both instinctively took out their phones and started taking pictures of it.
Rebecca felt a bit awkward and wondered if her parents were overreacting.
Once Debra and Patrick had taken the pictures, they eagerly posted them on Twitter to show off.
They posted a picture of their breakfast with the caption: [This is our breakfast today, and it was made by my daughter!]
It was just a simple sentence, but the bragging was quite obvious.
After posting on Twitter, Debra and Patrick then set their phones down and quickly sat down, eager to eat their breakfast while it was still fresh.
Rebecca’s breakfast was also a smoothie bowl. She made an extra bowl for herself when she prepared one for her
mom.
Once she was full, she couldn’t help but check the time and noted that there was still more than an hour before. the Courthouse opened. It was still early.

Debra reminded Rebecca, “Becky, do you still have the divorce license? Make sure to remind Theodore to bring all the necessary documents, so we don’t end up unprepared at the Courthouse. It’d be a real hassle.”
Rebecca nodded. “Okay”
“How about you send him a message now to remind him? Let’s make sure we head out as soon as the Courthouse opens to avoid wasting time,” Debra suggested again.
Rebecca thought about it and nodded in agreement. ‘Alright.”
She then picked up her phone and sent Theodore a message: [We’re finalizing our divorce today. Make sure to have the divorce license and other required documents ready. Don’t forget this.]
Meanwhile, Theodore, who was in the villa next door, woke up groggily and heard the message notification sound. He frowned, reached out his muscular hand, and picked up his phone.
Afterward, he unlocked his phone and opened the messaging app. When he saw Rebecca’s text, he instantly felt wide awake.
The pleasant mood Theodore had upon waking up quickly disappeared and was replaced by a fiery rage. Moments. later, he irritably threw his phone aside.
He thought while gritting his teeth, ‘Divorce? No way Rebecca is getting a divorce before we figure out what happened last time!‘
n the blink of an eye, it was already half past eight. Rebecca couldn’t wait any longer and headed to Edwards Villa
o knock on the door.
heodore opened the door with a cold expression.
Did you…get everything ready? Let’s go,” Rebecca said. For some reason, she still felt sad when facing him.
heodore nodded in response. Afterward, he didn’t say a word and just got into the car.
Rebecca then turned to leave..
However, Theodore grabbed her and pulled her into his car.
We’re going together!” he said in a firm tone.
lebecca was stunned and was at a loss for words.
lext door, Debra saw Theodore, that jerk, was manhandling her daughter again and was fed up. She immediately ranted to intervene. However, just as she was about to step forward, Theodore’s car started instantly and sped off.

She exclaimed inwardly, ‘Damn it! That bastard!‘
Debra almost couldn’t hold back from cursing out loud. Theodore was shameless. She had never seen a r shameless in her life.
Patrick ruffled his wife’s hair and comforted her. “Calm down. They’re getting divorced anyway.”
Debra nodded at his words. Thinking about her daughter soon being rid of that scumbag made her feel a
Immediately after, she anxiously urged, “Quick, let’s go after them and see what’s going on. Theodore, ti always up to something. We can’t let him hurt Becky.”
