After conversing with the frightened Susan for a while, Rebecca left the guest room. The room had been set up with fresh clothes, and the bath was ready. Given that Susan was an adult, there was no need for excessive concern. Once she exited the guest room, Rebecca made her way directly to Albert's study. Inside the study, along with Albert, her cousin, Jimmy, was also present. Jimmy appeared to have arrived not too long ago. He was still carrying the chill of a winter night. Upon Rebecca's entrance, Jimmy asked anxiously, "Becca, what's happening? Why did you agree to that lunatic's proposal?" When he stumbled upon the trending topic after work, he was momentarily stunned. Though the video only showed the side profile of the person involved, those familiar with her could easily identify Rebecca. Alongside onlooker-captured videos, two short clips were posted on the official account of the Winston Group. Winston Group—aside from that lunatic, who else would dare to use

Everyone's expression darkened upon hearing that; Rebecca wasn't the only one. Susan, seated beside Rebecca, displayed a complexion so unpleasant that it could almost be described as ashen. The mere mention of that name invoked fear in Susan and underscored just how unwelcome the person outside the courtyard was. "What did he say he came for?" Rebecca asked. Claude truthfully replied, "He said he came to see you. He didn't specify further, and I couldn't extract any more information." Rebecca responded coldly, "Don't bother with him. If he's willing to wait outside, let him wait." "But ..." "Claude, if he has anything else to say, tell him that we're only halfway through our meal, and it's inconvenient to add another person midway. We didn't prepare extra food, and it's not a good time for him to join us. "If he's willing to wait until we finish, I'll go out and meet him. If not, ask him to leave, and we can arrange another time and place to meet." Rebecca, perhaps awar

As Albert had expected, David's behavior was reckless. He displayed little regard for rules. In response to Albert's concerns, David remained indifferent. "Albert, you don't have to worry about the Winston family's stance. My mother never disciplined me, and her interference in my marriage now seems unnecessary. As for Mr. Winston Senior ..." A sneer crossed David's face as he recalled the image of Mr. Winston Senior at the hospital—a cunning old fox who relied on others to push his wheelchair. Yet, he still attempted to control his life. It was laughable. He lazily continued, "It's unclear if he'll make it through the winter. This incident has not only fueled resentment from all of you, but even my little affection for him has eroded. What opinions could he possibly offer?" He shrugged while openly expressing his dissatisfaction with Mr. Winston Senior. Despite the fact that Mr. Winston Senior was bedridden and that he had raised David, David treated him like a stranger

"David, even if you think we should be honest with each other, you should respect me before all else. Shouldn't you, at the very least, ask me before looking at my phone?"Rebecca found the person in front of her unreasonable.She glanced at David's phone on the coffee table. She wasn't even a little interested in looking at it.She said, "See? You're giving me your phone now. I'm not taking it behind your back."David sat up and returned her phone. He said, "Fine. My bad this time. There won't be a next time, okay?"Rebecca was silent as she looked at him with pursed lips.She took the phone and said, "I don't wish to see this happening again."With that, she sat down and checked her phone.The phone was new, and although some cloud messages were synced, there were still many messages that hadn't been transferred.Furthermore, she had only been back in the country for two days, so there wasn't much important content on the phone. The only significant conversation was with M

David gulped, and a rare look appeared on his face.He grabbed her hand and suppressed his emotions as he said, "Becca, let's look forward, okay? You promised me. You're my fiance now."He stated the facts. He was reassuring himself and reminding the woman in front of him of what she had said and done.Even if it was under threat or coercion, it was still a fact. Now, in everyone's eyes, they were an engaged couple, even though they both knew in their hearts how unbearable it was.Rebecca withdrew her hand and looked at him calmly. "I haven't forgotten. So, until the marriage is dissolved, I will try my best to play this role. But, David, now that you know I've regained my memory, you should understand that I won't compromise."In this temporary marriage shielded by morality, without any legal significance, what did she have to fear? If not for the concern of dirtying her own hands, she would have taken the fruit knife from the coffee table and given him a couple of stabs righ
