Semua Bab Five Years of Marriage to Mr. Bradford: Bab 631 - Bab 640

Dario nodded with obvious satisfaction. But Darren, standing protectively beside Rebecca, fixed her with a strange, intense stare.Even inside the dream, she felt deeply embarrassed. At this moment, she was nothing more than merchandise her parents had placed on the chopping block, waiting to be sold to the highest bidder.Darren had probably never witnessed anything like this before.From the second he walked in, the contractor's son, Casper Strickland, had been leering at her. Darren noticed immediately and stepped forward to shield her, earning a glare from Casper.Darren glared back, unflinching.Josette remained trapped in the inner room, unaware of the unfolding chaos. She pounded desperately on the door. "Open up! Becky! Don't be reckless!""What's going on there?" Dario frowned."My mom is sick and resting. The door got locked by accident," Soren said, leaning closer to Dario and lowering his voice. "It might be contagious. Better not let her out."Adeline jumped in smo

Rebecca's defiance had already irritated Dario and left him disgusted with the Perry family. Now, with Darren's unexpected intervention, he began to hesitate.But his son refused to accept it. Casper started throwing a tantrum with his mother, who glared at Dario.He sighed. "Alright, let's end it here for today. We'll talk about this another day."Darren held up his phone. "I've recorded everything. If you continue with this illegal nonsense, I'll post the video online. You'll become infamous, and the police will come knocking."Dario's expression shifted, but he had far more to lose than just public embarrassment. Before he could react, Rebecca stepped out from behind Darren."And while you're at it, make sure to include the part about him doing drugs too," she said, her voice calm and steely.The room fell deathly silent. The Stricklands turned ghostly pale."How... How did you know?" Casper's mother nearly collapsed.Dario's impression of the Perry family became even worse.

Vance had recorded a video on his phone while shielding her. When Casper lunged, Vance beat him up.Rebecca had been terrified, but she had also recorded audio.During dinner, her parents had discussed the engagement. She had been furious, but she was too young and inexperienced to lash out in front of her father.Instead, she had secretly recorded their conversation on her phone, capturing everything, including Casper's attempts to take advantage of her.The phone had been safely tucked away in her pocket and later had played a crucial role in resolving the situation.After Vance drove Casper away, she couldn't bring herself to tell him that her parents had arranged the whole thing. Her family was far more disgusting than his.So, he had never known how awful they truly were. Even after marriage, he had treated them with courtesy.She had told him many times about their greed, but he had just thought he owed her and decided to compensate for everything. As a result, they had of

Rebecca replied again, explaining she needed Josette and Kaitlyn to speak first.Gabriel responded quickly, telling her not to worry and that she could rely on him. Rebecca found it hard to believe that he trusted her just based on a single email.This was the first time she had ever contacted him in the new timeline. But regardless of why he believed her, she had complete faith in him. With Gabriel intervening in their lives ahead of schedule, everything would turn out differently....The next day, Rebecca headed to school for dance practice. She repeatedly urged Josette to keep the doors locked and not open them for anyone."Don't worry. If he dares come back, he'll get struck by lightning," Josette reassured her.Soren truly deserved to be struck by lightning.Rebecca then asked their neighbors to keep an eye on Josette and call her if anything happened.They had lived in the neighborhood for years and always had a good relationship with the neighbors. Plus, the neighbors h

Rebecca looked at the helpless shop owner. "I'll settle his bill.""That won't do. You're a student too," the shop owner said. "It's fine. I'll wait for my grandson."Just then, someone rushed in like a gust of wind, slapped 50 dollars on the table, pointed at Rebecca, and said, "That covers both our meals."He ran off without waiting for change."Well..." The owner was at a loss.Rebecca quietly finished her pasta. The owner gave her the change, "He's your classmate, right? Please give this back to him. We serve students and don't overcharge them."Rebecca paused. "Okay, I'll return it to him."She thought she wouldn't see Vance again until Monday. But after finishing her dance practice at the studio, she ran into him downstairs in a newly opened cake shop.She had planned to buy some cupcakes for Josette, who loved eating sweet and soft treats. She then remembered that it was the same place her parents had tricked her into. That was why Vance had timely rescued her.After hi
