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 time it’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 over.)

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 drama between Rebecca and Andrea.

Stanley awkwardly cleared his throat. “Um…” He thought, ‘If I’d known this, I 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 at me like 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 time ago.

“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 because

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.
