But just before Theodore pressed the dial button, he hesitated. ‘What if Rebecca’s just stuck in traffic?”
He stared at his phone, pondering, and decided to give her a few more minutes.
At that moment, the doorbell rang.
Theodore turned and saw Rebecca standing at the door. A wave of relief washed over him, but it lasted only a second before anger quickly took over again. He glared at Rebecca with a cold, mocking expression. From NôvelDrama.Org.
“Looks like you came here in a rush. Are you afraid of being late?” Theodore sneered.
Rebecca paused before explaining. “I wasn’t rushing. I’ve been next door the whole time, in the villa next to yours. I set an alarm and arrived right on time. It’s been over an hour.
“So, as we agreed, you’ll come with me to the Courthouse tomorrow to file for divorce, right?” Rebecca clarified.
Theodore was taken aback.
Rebecca thought for a few seconds and added, “I live next door. When it’s time to go tomorrow, you can come get me… Or I can come get you.”
After saying this, Rebecca felt she had nothing more to add. She stood there for a moment and turned to leave.
It wasn’t until she was gone that Theodore snapped out of it. His face turned extremely sullen in an instant!
He rushed out and saw Rebecca just as she was about to enter the gate of the villa next door.
Without a second thought, he chased after her, grabbed her arm, and started dragging her toward his house.
Rebecca struggled angrily. “Theodore, let go of me!”
But Theodore just tightened his grip, determined to drag her away.
“Let her go!” Debra shouted, rushing from the house with a stick in hand..
Even though Theodore was the president of a company, he was still startled by the sight of Debra wielding the
stick,
Debra wasn’t about to be polite. She raised the stick and swung it at Theodore!
She had learned how to discipline her son and knew exactly where to hit to cause the most pain with minimal injury. Even if it led to legal trouble, à little payout was nothing.

Chapter 46
The Carter family had nothing but money, and if a few bucks could buy Debra some stress relief by beating Theodore, it would be a great deal.
Rebecca watched in shock as her mother rained blows down on Theodore with the heavy stick, each hit precise and brutal.
Theodore’s face twisted in agony. Ten strikes were all he could take before he finally let go of Rebecca.
Patrick quickly snatched his daughter away from the scumbag the second she was free.
Theodore had never been beaten like this in his life. It wasn’t just the pain. It was the humiliation.
That was a high–society neighborhood, and he knew his beating would be the gossip of the elite circles in no time.
He stared coldly at Rebecca, his eyes narrowing as he spoke. “Rebecca, I’ll count to three. Come here yourself! Three! Two…”
Debra rolled her eyes and snapped, “Don’t forget the divorce license tomorrow, pal. See you in Courthouse, you loser!”
Patrick, backing up his wife, spat at Theodore. “Yeah, scumbag, that’s for you!”
Theodore was caught off guard as the spit landed square on his face.
His face darkened instantly, a storm brewing beneath,
Rebecca was equally shocked. Her mom was fierce, but it seemed like her dad was also incredible!
That was downright humiliating!
Rebecca couldn’t help but pull her dad back, thinking it was enough and not to go too far.
“Rebecca, you really want to divorce me?” Theodore sneered coldly. “Fine, see you at the Courthouse tomorrow!”
With that, he just turned and left.
Back at Edwards Villa, Theodore quickly headed upstairs to the bathroom and started to shower again.
He had never been humiliated like this in his life!
Rebecca had gone too far this time. If he ever begged her again, he’d kill himself!
Fuming, Theodore cranked the shower on full blast, tore off his clothes, and scrubbed himself furiously, especially the spot where Patrick’s spit had landed.
No matter how much he scrubbed, he couldn’t shake the feeling of being tainted!

‘That damned woman! It’s all her fault!!
Theodore spent a full two hours in the shower, scrubbing his skin until it was red.
With a grim face, he took out his phone.
“Wyatt, find out everything you can about the woman with Rebecca,” Theodore ordered coldly.

In Macloria, it was the first time someone had dared to mess with him. He couldn’t help but scoff.
Wyatt had just finished dinner when he received Theodore’s call. Hearing his furious tone, he was a bit puzzled.
But sensing Theodore’s intense anger, Wyatt knew better than to question him at this moment. “Got it,” he agreed.
“You have three days, the sooner the better. Get all the details on that woman and her family. If there’s any
criminal activity or other legal violations, even better,” Theodore added.
Wyatt was bewildered.
His heart skipped a beat, and he instantly became alert. “Theodore, what happened?” he quickly asked.
“Calm down, don’t do anything rash,” Wyatt hurriedly advised.
But Theodore didn’t want to listen anymore. He simply hung up the phone.
As the call ended, Wyatt felt a wave of unease. He hoped Theodore wouldn’t do something he’d regret…
Still, Wyatt had to do his job and had no choice but to investigate.
Meanwhile, Rebecca followed her parents into the house, feeling uneasy. She was worried Theodore might do something harmful to her parents.
“Dad, Mom, you really didn’t have to stand up for me like that. I’ll explain everything to him. We’re about to get divorced anyway, and once that’s done, it won’t matter anymore,” Rebecca said.
Debra and Patrick felt heartbroken seeing their daughter like this.
“We are not afraid of him.” Patrick growled.
Debra agreed, “Exactly! Becky, we aren’t afraid. Our family is powerful. You can trust us!”
Rebecca was at a loss for words.
“Dad, Mom, no matter what, please be careful. The Edwards family… They have some influence in Maeloria,”

Rebecca couldn’t help but warn.
Debra and Patrick, however, thought this was funny. They exchanged a glance, and finally, Patrick looked at
Rebecca and said, “Becky, don’t worry. Your dad’s got this covered. We’re not going to lose anything.”
