Semua Bab Five Years of Marriage to Mr. Bradford: Bab 361 - Bab 370

The other shareholders were shocked. "Divorce? Share transfer?"Rebecca had only attended two board meetings in total. One was when she and Vance got married, and the other was when they got divorced.They had all seen the stock plunging and knew about the scandal blowing up online, but they were still shocked by the news.One of them spoke up. "Mr. Bradford, at this critical moment, shouldn't you think twice?""This decision was made after careful consideration," Rebecca said seriously."The stock has been fluctuating wildly, largely due to recent public opinion," the shareholder reasoned. "Would you and Mrs. Bradford consider issuing a joint statement? Just put on a show for the investors. Show them a harmonious couple with no scandals, that everything was just made up."Silent, Rebecca turned to Vance, her meaning crystal clear.Vance averted his gaze, his voice hoarse. "There's no need.""Mr. Bradford..." the shareholder tried again."Marriage is a private matter. Even if

Amid the music, they pushed the cake toward Rebecca, all beaming with joy."I thought you were going to sing Happy Birthday," Rebecca chuckled."We can do that, too," Gabriel said, helping Josette come downstairs.The old lady looked a little fuller than a few days ago, but she had been through hell. Recovery wouldn't happen overnight. She was still weak, but her gaze was as gentle as ever.It was a pleasant evening. Although it was just a home party, it felt much warmer than any formal business banquet. And the food prepared by Gabriel was delicious.After dinner, Rebecca sat on the sofa next to Josette while the others gathered around, chatting about all kinds of topics.Although her friends hadn't known each other before, they quickly became comfortable and got along wonderfully.Josette sat beside them and didn't feel out of place. She enjoyed listening to them talk, and no one felt constrained by her presence. The conversation flowed happily.Desmond and Helia shared stori

Vance: [Send your location!]Obadiah: [Come get me!]...It had turned into an endless loop.Rebecca could imagine Vance's fury behind his phone, but this was just childish. She checked his messages and found them ridiculous.[Did you really throw a party tonight?][Are you so happy about the divorce? Have you been waiting for this day?]He had even sent her the photo.[Look at yourself. You're smiling so brightly. Did you ever smile like that when you were with me?][No wonder you were in such a hurry to divorce. You had been planning it forever.][It's because of Schroeder, right? When did you two start hooking up?][From the first time you mentioned divorce? When he sent you flowers?]Vance was beyond reason. What right did he have to question her? As for the flowers, she had no memory of them at all.Rebecca: [Desmond and I are just friends.]She didn't want to cause Desmond unnecessary trouble, but her reply seemed to trigger something. Vance's messages started bomba

Vance felt like an idiot himself. The questions he had just asked were just filler—anything to keep Rebecca there a little longer.Gabriel looked gentle and refined with his gold-rimmed glasses, but he drew very clear lines when it came to grudges.Rebecca's parents and brother had long been written off in his mind. Why would he show them any mercy?Vance had heard that Rebecca's parents didn't even want to leave the detention center. Someone had gone to post bail for them, but they had refused to come out.The reason? It was safer inside. If they got out, Gabriel would definitely give their lives hell.With his power, he could do that without leaving a trace. He was backed by the Rossi family, after all.At a young age, he fought his way to the top and became the head of a massive family. It was practically a legend.Vance just hadn't expected that they were the same person. He smiled bitterly, not sure what had gone wrong with him lately, but everything seemed to taste bitter.

Vance turned ashen. "I didn't. Cathy and I never..."He stopped mid-sentence as he remembered something. He had no right to say that anymore.On a roll, Isabelle didn't notice the shift in his expression. She kept going. "I don't care whether you slept with her or not. That's not my business. I only care about Lucas. This has nothing to do with sex."Lucas panicked about her reckless speech, especially since they were in the office. His hand shot out and clamped over her mouth."Let her speak." Vance was unpleasant, but he wanted to hear what she had to say."Fine!" Isabelle slapped Lucas's hand away. "Vance Bradford, you are a scumbag! The worst of its kind. You enjoyed Rebecca's wholehearted love while flirting with Catherine under the guise of brotherhood. Go check out her posts. What kind of friends sleep in the same bed half-naked?""Honey, that was staged. I was there, too," Lucas chimed in, only to earn himself a solid slap across the face.Isabelle sneered. "You were the
