All Chapters of Five Years of Marriage to Mr. Bradford: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

The words from his post resurfaced in Rebecca's mind. She laughed out loud. "My husband? A man who has spent his entire life working for another woman? You're hilarious."It was so absurd that it stopped hurting.Vance flipped the mirror toward her. "Look at yourself!"Rebecca glanced into the mirror, realizing she had pushed herself too hard during the rehabilitation. Her hair was soaked, her face was shiny with sweat, and her clothes were plastered to her body.She looked wrecked. Even now, her lips were quivering, and her hands were trembling. So what? She didn't see anything wrong with it. This was just proof of her effort."What's wrong with how I look?" she asked, touching her flushed cheeks.The woman staring back at her was healthy and alive. She was satisfied with her current self."You don't need to..." Vance sighed. "I know you're upset about Cathy's return. She is more beautiful, healthier, and more capable. You're uncomfortable, so you're pushing yourself to outdo h

A question burned in Rebecca's mind. In the rehab room, had Vance really stopped her because he saw how much pain she was in, or had he only wanted to drag her out so he could beg her to drop the case against Catherine?She didn't ask. The answer was obvious. He hadn't even bothered to check whether she was still hurting.That suspicion was confirmed the moment they reached the police station. Vance climbed out and headed straight inside without once looking back to see if she could walk.She was on a phone call when she stepped out of the car. By the time she finished, he was already far ahead. He glanced back once, then kept walking and disappeared through the station doors.She had never expected his loyalty to tilt her way anyway, so she slowly walked inside by herself.Catherine was already there, crying prettily in a chair. Aiden and Lucas flanked her like bodyguards, glaring at Rebecca like their deadliest enemy. Vance was engaged in conversation with a police officer.Whe

"Rebecca, I never thought you could be so small-minded," Vance sighed deeply. "I could forgive jealousy—at least it comes from love. But I cannot forgive cruelty. You would lie and frame an innocent person just because you're jealous? That's terrifying."The verdict was in: Catherine was the pure, innocent fairy cruelly wronged by Rebecca's vicious envy. Rebecca was the jealous villain willing to do anything to drive her away.Rebecca was speechless, seeing no way to explain to these people that she had never been jealous of Catherine."Rebecca," an officer called out.While the others had been shouting for what felt like hours, Rebecca had said nothing. There was no point arguing with them or trying to reason with people who had already decided the truth."Coming." She ignored the four people and slowly walked toward the officer.A female officer noticed how hard she was moving and came over to help her. The simple gesture of kindness warmed her heart."Thank you," she said gra

With tears still shining on her cheeks, Rebecca ignored them all. Her voice trembled, but her words were steel. "I have evidence that proves they're lying."All the noises stopped in an instant. She took out her phone and started to play a recording."Vance, please don't call the police.""Cathy, was it really you?""I'm sorry. I just wanted to play a prank on Rebecca." "No, listen to me! I never meant to harm her. I just wanted to get back at her for what she did to Aiden and Lucas. So, I asked Kimberly to bring her the mango juice."...This was a snippet of the conversation between Catherine and Vance when she visited Rebecca in the hospital after the fire."Catherine admitted it herself," Rebecca stated. "She had Kimberly serve me mango juice."Catherine's face drained of color. "You recorded us?"Aiden and Lucus were shocked. "And you didn't give it to the police?"In her anger and panic, she had overlooked it. But thanks to it, Vance's lawyers didn't know and couldn't

"Vance, say something about the snake you married!" Aiden shouted.Vance touched the stinging scratches on his face, then stepped forward. "Let's not get sidetracked. What do you want, Rebecca? Name your price.""Yeah," Catherine chimed in, moving closer, "Lucas is right. Your footage probably won't hold up in court. Why make this bigger than it needs to be? It could hurt the company. Just tell us what you really want.""Whether it's admissible is not for you to decide, and honestly, it doesn't matter. What matters is that the footage is real. Facts influence people's minds," Rebecca said. "Even if the court won't accept it, the internet will. Worst case, I post everything online and let public opinion decide. Let everyone see how Mr. Bradford and his friends plotted to burn his wife alive for the sake of his mistress. Then we'll see whether it counts as evidence.""You've lost your mind!" Aiden's eyes blazed. "You're willing to destroy Vance's reputation, ruin the company, and tur
