Chapter 77

Jeffrey remained silent, unmoved.

Rebecca, seeing his silence, swallowed her words and donned her headphones, shutting out the world.

The minutes ticked by until 11:59 PM.

Jeffrey glanced at his watch. As the second hand aligned with twelve, he grabbed his phone and car keys, exiting with a door slam. Rebecca checked the time, and it was 00:09 AM.

She ignored it, refocusing on her digital canvas.

Gregory awaited by the vehicle when Jeffrey descended.

He tossed the keys and settled into the seat, his tone icy. “Well?”

“Ms. Scott orchestrated the car accident as you suspected.” Gregory produced a file from the driver’s seat. “She tailed you after leaving Harmony Estate, only departing after you and Ms. Jensen took Samuel to the playground.”

Jeffrey’s aura chilled. Though aware of Andrea’s schemes, her self–endangerment still stunned him.

Gregory handed over his work phone. “The full footage from pre–crash to impact.”

Jeffrey opened it.

Andrea deliberately chose a high–traffic area to suddenly dart out. A loud crash echoed in the video, showing her being hit by a car.

Jeffrey’s tired brows knitted together, his eyes colder than ice as the car’s atmosphere plummeted instantly. “To the hospital.”

Gregory immediately started driving.

Andrea never imagined Jeffrey knew everything. When midnight came without his arrival and Stanley left too, her mental state grew more unstable.

She pulled out her phone to call Jeffrey.

Michelle stopped her. “What are you doing?”

“It’s past midnight.” Andrea’s entire body ached, but none compared to the pain in her chest. “Even if he spent the day with that kid, he should be here now.”

Michelle thought she’d lost it, taking her phone. “He’ll come if he wants without being called. Begging won’t help if he refuses.”

“Rebecca must be clinging to him,” Andrea insisted desperately. “That’s the only explanation.”

She reached over to grab the phone from Michelle’s hand. Michelle didn’t want to give it to her but worried that sudden movements might disturb the IV drip in her arm, so she ultimately let Rebecca take it.

The first call didn’t connect. She tried a different number on the second attempt.

Seeing the unknown number, Rebecca hesitated briefly before answering after five or six rings. “Hello, who’s calling?”

“Rebecca, how shameless can you be?” Andrea’s post–accident fragility and emotional turmoil made her vent fiercely. “After what’s happened to me, you still cling to Jeffrey.”

Rebecca was stunned. She glanced at the screen, realizing this must be Andrea’s alternate number.

Andrea kept raging. “Do you even have any shred of decen―”

Rebecca hung up without hesitation. She couldn’t be bothered to feel angry.

Andrea couldn’t tolerate this dismissal. Post–surgery discomfort amplified her irritation, driving her to redial Rebecca’s number for confrontation.

The same automated message played as with the first number. She’d been blocked again.

“Hand me your phone.” Andrea couldn’t accept losing so much without receiving Jeffrey’s concern, having intentionally crashed the car to make her staged accident convincing.

The outcome was nothing like she’d imagined. Jeffrey hadn’t abandoned Rebecca and Samuel to come to the hospital with her, nor did he show any concern when she got hurt.

She wasn’t nearly as important in his heart as he’d claimed. He simply didn’t care about her at all.

“Stop acting crazy,” Michelle said, finding her too extreme. “Don’t forget Rebecca is still Jeffrey’s legal wife. What right do you have to say those things?”

Andrea clenched her fists. “I saved his life.”

Michelle pressed, “And?”

Andrea looked at her in confusion. ‘And what? Jeffrey had promised to take care of me and give me everything I wanted,‘ she thought.

“I don’t know why you’re so set on having a romantic relationship with Jeffrey,” Michelle advised. “Why not take the money and live a carefree life?”

“No!” Andrea blurted out.

If her secret about replacing Rebecca stayed buried forever, great. But if it came out… If she took the money and left now, Jeffrey would have countless ways to make her repay every penny once he learned the truth.

Her only gamble was making him fall for her. If she succeeded, even if the truth came out, he might show her leniency for the sake of their bond, just like he currently did with Rebecca.

“But what’s the point of torturing yourself like this?” Michelle asked with clear–headed logic that cut through Andrea’s delusions. “Don’t you already know he’ll never return your feelings?”

Those words made last night’s conversation replay painfully in Andrea’s mind.

She shook her head. “No…”

Jeffrey only rejected me because he hadn’t discovered my virtues yet. With more contact and opportunities to reveal my strengths, he’d surely fall for me eventually.

‘If someone as mediocre as Rebecca could win his heart, then I–who outshine her in every way–deserve his affection tenfold,‘ she thought.

Behind the hospital room door, Jeffrey listened with an unsettling calmness that made Gregory shift uneasily beside him.
