Lisa freaked out. She never thought Rebecca would call the police over something so small. She did not expect that Rebecca was unafraid of people finding it out.

“No,” Lisa said. Her palms were sweaty. Her heart pounded. “I heard it from someone else.”

“Who told you that?” the officer asked.

Lisa glanced at Rebecca without thinking. Rebecca stayed calm, as usual. She shot Lisa a casual line. “The officer asked you a question. Why were you looking at me?”

“Andrea from our company,” Lisa said. Fear hit her then. Her voice dropped. She knew she was done.

Andrea only mentioned something very valuable. If the officer asked and Andrea did not back her up, Lisa would look like she had invented a rumor. She would be finished.

In the end, Rebecca, Lisa, and Jeffrey were called to the police station to give statements. Andrea from the hospital was called too.

Half an hour later, the four of them sat in a row at the station. Lisa sat on the far right. She scooted closer to Andrea.

She lowered her voice and asked, “Andrea, was that very valuable thing you mentioned about Rebecca the one I sent you in my message?”

Not only Andrea, but Jeffrey also heard that. He looked over with a cold stare and gave off an intimidating presence.

Andrea thought she had said nothing wrong, but she looked shaken. She blinked and asked, “What message?”

“The one I sent you,” Lisa said.

Andrea checked her phone. She saw an unread message. She sounded a little apologetic. “Sorry. After I replied to your last message, I was so tired I fell asleep.”

Lisa did not know if that was true. For now, she had to believe it. “Was that the one I mentioned?”

“No way,” Andrea whispered. “How could you even think that?”

That sentence froze Lisa. She knew it was over for her. She had not only misunderstood Rebecca but also offended Jeffrey, too.

“You didn’t say those things in front of Rebecca, did you? Is that why she called the police?” Andrea asked suspiciously.

Lisa forced a smile. Her hands and feet felt cold. “Yes,” she said.

“You really are something,” Andrea said, and then paused. She glanced at Rebecca on the left and lowered her voice. “Rebecca is usually polite. But if someone crossed her line, she would not let it go.”

Lisa bit her lip. She felt angry at Andrea. If Andrea had warned her earlier, Lisa would never have been so stupid as to say those things in front of Rebecca.

If she had not said things that caused the misunderstanding on purpose, she would not have provoked Rebecca. She would have kept up appearances like before, even if she disliked her.

“Apologize to her later,” Andrea said again. “Be sincere. She wouldn’t hold it against you.”

Just then, the officer started asking questions. After the first question, Lisa suddenly spoke, looking uneasy. “I’m sorry, officer. I misunderstood what Andrea meant. I apologize to Rebecca here. I’m sorry.

The officer was silent. Rebecca said, “I do not accept it.”

Lisa clenched her fists but forced herself to calm down. “I know this has caused you a lot of harm. I am willing to make amends.”

“If a simple ‘misunderstanding‘ and an apology could make this go away, then the cost of spreading rumors would be too low,” Rebecca said. She was soft by nature, but she didn’t give in easily. “What words made you misunderstand it like this?”

“Andrea said you used something very valuable to get Mr. Hanson to give you the money to treat your mother,” Lisa admitted. “I jumped to conclusions for a moment.”

“Is that true?” the officer asked Andrea.

Andrea glanced at Jeffrey and Rebecca. She answered, “Yes.”

Lisa froze. Lisa always thought Andrea said those things just to make her believe Rebecca and Jeffrey were involved. But now, Andrea’s words meant Rebecca and Jeffrey really were together.

‘But other than her body, what else could she possibly trade with Jeffrey for money?‘ Lisa thought.

“What was it?” the officer asked.

“This…” Andrea opened her mouth but hesitated. Her eyes shifted to Jeffrey sitting next to her, full of mixed emotions. “Jeffrey told me not to say it in public. I have to get his approval first.”

The officer turned to Jeffrey. “Mr. Hanson.”

Before the officer could say more, Jeffrey grabbed Rebecca’s right hand with his left and held it firmly. His voice was calm but clear. “Rebecca is my wife, I upset her. She wanted to sell the ring I gave her. The buyer

was me.”

The officer stared at them in silence again. This was another round of PDA. Lisa felt as if her chest had been smashed under an endless barrage of heavy blows.

Rebecca was actually the legendary wife Jeffrey spoiled beyond measure. Her emotions spiraled. At first, she was shocked. Then the shock turned into fear and dread. In the end, she felt completely frozen.

‘No wonder Jeffrey showed up at the team–building event just for her. No wonder he went on stage at the anniversary party to hold Rebecca’s hand. No wonder he called her so sweetly. So that is why,‘ she thought.

“Andrea.” Lisa couldn’t bring herself to hate Rebecca anymore. All her anger shifted to Andrea. “You know from the start?”
