Rebecca couldn’t forget how she had pleaded desperately, hoping Theodore would believe her, but all she had gotten in return was his mockery.
She had cared for Theodore for years, yet she never carned even a bit of his trust.
Although it appeared that circumstances were pushing him to make a choice, these events were bound to happen sooner or
later.
Rebecca’s father and brothers just made everything happen a bit sooner.
Michael’s illegitimate children were a reality. Considering Gifford’s role and status in the company, it was clear that these illegitimate offspring weren’t much less important in Michael’s eyes than Theodore.
Sooner or later, the Edwards family’s illegitimate offspring would be exposed, leading to a power struggle between the heir and the illegitimate offspring.
Most of the Edwards family’s shares were in Michael’s control. For Theodore to secure the Edwards Group’s shares and his status as the heir, he had to follow Michael’s commands.
Michael wanted to use the heir’s marriage as a bargaining chip to gain benefits for their company.
Theodore just made the choice between love and profit a bit earlier than expected. It was something that would have happened eventually.
Ultimately, Rebecca had always been the one left behind in his life.
Her dad and brothers made all this happen ahead of time so she could see Theodore’s true character. This way, she wouldn’t) forgive him, go back to him, trust him again, and end up getting hurt again.
Patrick looked at his daughter seriously for a while before breaking into a happy smile and nodding repeatedly. “That’s my girl. Well done.”
Rebecca’s ears inexplicably turned red as she listened to her father.
Actually, she knew that her mindset couldn’t compare to her parents and three brothers because she had grown up in Mitchell Villa. However, she was determined to work on changing that.
Rebecca knew she would become stronger, more confident, and better.
The next moment, Patrick cheerfully said, “We’ll just wait and see then. It won’t be long before Theodore comes over and begs Becky for a divorce.”
Rebecca’s face lit up with a smile at his words.
Debra also breathed a sigh of relief. She felt that it was better this way. Otherwise, dealing with Theodore’s antics would have made every meal uncomfortable.
Rebecca stayed home for a few more days, waiting quietly for Theodore to ask for a divorce. Instead of hearing his plea, she received a message from Lynn that several advertising offers had come in. Lynn asked if she wanted to accept them.
Rebecca hesitated and was at a loss for words.
Sering her hesitation, Lynn sighed in relief and suggested, “Becky, given your current situation, I wouldn’t recommend

rushing into endorsements–now.

“Both Reverse Days and Lovey Princess are about to air soon. I believe that after these shows are broadcast, you could become very popular. By then, your net worth could increase by hundreds of times. Taking these endorsements now might lower your standards and not be worthwhile.”
Rebecca agreed with a nod, “Mm.”
Janet had accepted a fantasy drama, Disciple Meets Master, at the Aotori shooting base a while back. After months of hard work, they had finished nearly three–quarters of the filming. The remaining scenes would take about another month to
finish.
Ben Hofmann, the director of the show, had already compiled the previously shot content and discreetly submitted it for review. If everything went smoothly, the show could be finished by the end of the year, perfectly timed for Christmas, and could air as a holiday program on the trending Starlight Spectrum Network.
Why not on the top–rated Horizon Network, you might ask?
It was because Horizon Network had already allotted their Christmas holiday season program’s slot for Reverse Days. Disciple Meets Master couldn’t compete with that.
Ben and his team could only settle for the next best option, choosing Starlight Spectrum Network, which was almost as good as Horizon Network.
He thought that the Starlight Spectrum Network also had high ratings. If Disciple Meets Master could be scheduled on Starlight Spectrum Network, especially as a holiday season program, their show would surely do well after it aired.
Since both Reverse Days and Disciple Meets Master would be aired simultaneously on Christmas, many in the industry were speculating about which channel viewers would choose to watch and which show would have higher ratings.
While everyone else was celebrating, Janet noticed that Rebecca’s show Lovey Princess had surprisingly passed the TV review and was also scheduled for the holiday season program, albeit on a minor channel. She couldn’t believe it had become a TV drama.
She thought, I remember very clearly that Lovey Princess was just a low–tier web drama before! Could Charlie have done this for Rebecca again? Why? What does he see in Iter? Rebecca is just an older woman who has had children. What does Charlie see in her?’
Janet couldn’t wrap her head around it, as she didn’t find Rebecca pretty at all.
Ever since they were young, she had considered Rebecca very ugly.
Yet Janet couldn’t help but wonder why Rebecca managed to attract one man after another and even wondered if Rebecca was better at seducing men than she was.
When Janet thought of the word “seduce,” her wildly beating heart suddenly calmed down.
She pondered, ‘If Rebecca can seduce men, why can’t I? I am younger and prettier than her. If Charlie simply likes women who have just had children… I am one too! If I try hard enough, could Charlie like me?‘
Janet had no feelings for Charlie and even felt a bit of disgust toward him because he had publicly insulted her on the web
before.
But he was the man Rebecca had set her sights on, after all.
Chapter 98
Janet currently couldn’t stand the sight of Rebecca.
She wanted to destroy anything Rebecca had, even if it was a man.
Janet then wondered if Rebecca would be devastated if she took Charlie away from her.
The idea of Rebecca falling apart, feeling sorrowful, and perhaps even hopeless, just like when she had snatched Theodore from her, brought a surprising sense of relief to Janet. She remembered Rebecca’s shattered and vulnerable looks and how she had repeatedly shed tears in secret.
Just as Janet was lost in her thoughts, Lisa’s voice suddenly sounded beside her. “Janet.”
Janet was startled and immediately snapped back to her senses. “What is it?”
Lisa was also startled by Janet’s reaction. She felt that Janet’s gaze seemed somewhat cold.
“You’re up,” Lisa reminded her.
It was only then that Janet snapped out of it. She shoved the script into Lisa’s hands and walked toward the stage.
Lisa then stood frozen while holding the script. As she watched Janet go back on stage to continue filming, she felt something was off. She thought that Janet had looked somewhat unusual a moment ago.
After thinking for a while, Lisa realized it was a twisted, unnatural expression.
She then figured that Janet might have some psychological issues and needed to see a therapist.
