After the divorce he begged novel Chapter 138

A bad feeling started creeping into Rebecca’s mind. “What are you looking at?” Jessica asked as she walked in. Seeing Rebecca holding the file, she leaned over and skimmed it. “This clause looks almost the same as the property transfer one,” she said casually.

“It’s the Deed of Property Transfer,” Rebecca replied, setting it aside and picking up the other documents on the desk.

Every single one was dated July 16. All of these papers were basically about property transfer. She still remembered that on the day her mom had the accident, they’d been out shopping together.

Her mom promised to tell her something when they got back, but just after pulling into the parking lot, the accident happened.

“Jessica,” Rebecca suddenly felt weak all over.

Jessica noticed her pale face and asked with concern, “What’s wrong?”

“Do you remember how my mom’s accident happened that day?” Rebecca asked. Memories rushed back, and she hesitated, unsure if she wanted to voice her suspicion.

‘What if my mom’s accident wasn’t an accident? Could someone have planned it? Richard? Or someone else?‘ she thought.

“When you went to the parking lot to get the car, someone hit the accelerator instead of the brake and ran into your mom,” Jessica recalled the incident. “What’s going on?”

Rebecca handed her the document with the Deed of Property Transfer date. “Look at this.”

“July 16,” Jessica murmured, eyes narrowing. “This date…”

Before she could finish, realization hit her. She looked at Rebecca seriously. “Your mom’s accident was on this same day?”

“Yes,” Rebecca confirmed.

Jessica immediately guessed what she was thinking. “You think someone planned it on purpose?”

At the time, she had no reason to suspect anything. “Should we try to find that girl?” Jessica asked tentatively. “Back then, she couldn’t afford the medical bills, and you didn’t press charges. She’d probably cooperate.”

“If it wasn’t an accident, she wouldn’t cooperate,” Rebecca said, her mood heavy.

“For now, it’s just speculation. Maybe it really is a coincidence,” Jessica reasoned. “Wasn’t she in the hospital taking care of your mom for months? If it had been planned, she wouldn’t have had the nerve to stay that long.”

That was exactly why Rebecca hesitated. Too many things suggested it was really an accident. After all, a real planner wouldn’t have stubbornly stayed to help care for her mom for months.

Rebecca had asked her to leave, but she said she had to help since she couldn’t pay anything. She was sincere enough that they later forgave her mistake.

“Ask her first,” Jessica decided. “It’ll stop you from overthinking.”

Rebecca forced down her emotions, gathered the few documents on the desk, and walked around the study one last time. Most of the books made no sense to her anyway.

She was about to check the other rooms when she suddenly ran into Richard on the staircase. “I thought you weren’t coming?” he said. He’d been waiting outside her community since he left, confident she’d show up, and he guessed right.

Looking at him, Rebecca decided to bluff. “Was my mom’s car accident your doing?”

Her dad wasn’t exactly subtle; if it had been him, he would’ve given himself away. “Crazy,” Richard muttered and stormed inside, searching the study without restraint.

Watching him, Jessica asked Rebecca, “Are we gonna do something?”

“Yes,” Rebecca replied.

Jessica pulled out her phone and called the bodyguards who had been following them, keeping her eyes on Richard as he rifled through the room. “Head up to the third floor and escort Richard down. He’s in the way.”

“Got it,” the bodyguards said.

Moments later, four well–trained guards arrived, grabbed Richard, and led him downstairs, leaving him baffled. Realizing Rebecca and Jessica were forcing him out, he panicked. “Rebecca! I’m your dad. What are you doing?”

Rebecca said nothing. If she’d known Richard was tailing her, she never would have come today. “If you don’t let me take my things, I’ll burn this place down, and then you’ll have nothing left!” he threatened.

“If it gets burned, you’ll be the prime suspect,” Rebecca replied calmly. “Jessica and her bodyguards can vouch

for me.”

Richard froze, realizing he’d forgotten about Jessica. Once he was escorted away, Rebecca pulled up the
