“Can we get your autograph?” A fan’s voice rang out with fervor, cutting through the bustling atmosphere,

Lynn followed, her senses heightened by the passionate cries of the crowd.

Could it be that Becky had already garnered a group of fans after just one stint on a variety show?

Glancing at Becky, Lynn couldn’t help but swell with pride at her friend’s newfound fame.

“Count me in for an autograph! I want one from Chuck too!” Another voice clamored from within the crowd.

Patrick and Debra stood at the entrance of the jewelry store basking in the glow of their children’s popularity. Their hearts brimmed with joy, mirrored by the radiant smiles gracing their faces.

“You can sign over there,” Patrick graciously directed.

Charlie shot a sidelong glance at his father, a chuckle bubbling up within him at the unmistakable display of favoritism. Yet, despite the internal amusement, the prospect of signing autographs had him brimming with excitement, especially when there was an area set up specially for them.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Charlie whisked Rebecca away, eager to engage and converse with their adoring fans.

Before long, candid snapshots of Charlie and Becky made their rounds online, igniting a whirlwind of attention.

At Evergrande Entertainment, Lisa received the news and hastily sought out Janet.

“Janet, something’s happened! There are rumors online saying that Charlie and Becky attended the ribbon–cutting ceremony at Carter’s Jewel!” Lisa exclaimed anxiously.

Janet, already dressed up and eagerly awaiting the end of the ribbon–cutting ceremony to attend Carter’s Jewel’s grand opening banquet, was taken aback by the news.

“What do you mean?” Janet’s brow furrowed in confusion, her expression clouded with apprehension.

Lisa promptly handed her phone over. “Take a look, Janet. These are candid shots taken by the fans. Someone captured Charlie and Becky at the ribbon–cutting ceremony!”

Taking the phone, Janet scrutinized the images, zooming in to examine every detail. Despite her repeated scrutiny, the faces in the photos remained unequivocally real, devoid of any trace of editing.

It was Rebecca!

shockwaves through Janet’s mind. As someone who grew up in Maeloria, she wouldn’t be mistaken by the

landscape and location captured in the pictures.

“How is this possible?” Yet, Janet refused to accept the reality portrayed in the photos.

“Could Rebecca really have earned the right to attend the ribbon–cutting ceremony for Carter’s Jewel? With her limited abilities, is she even worthy of that?” Janet’s frustration bubbled over into anger.

Lisa, equally perplexed by the situation, offered a tentative explanation, her brow furrowed in concern. “Could it be that Charlie brought her along? With Charlie’s status, it’s not entirely impossible for him to secure the role of spokesperson for her.”

The gossip circulating among Carter’s Jewel staff only added to the confusion. Rumors suggested that the Carter family had already selected a spokesperson for the year, yet no official announcement had been made. Seeing Charlie and Rebecca together at the event led many to speculate that they were indeed the chosen representatives

for Carter’s Jewel.

  • Janet’s anger reached its peak, and she impulsively smashed a glass against the floor.

Lisa recoiled in shock, her instinctive reaction to protect herself kicking in.

“Why would Charlie go out of his way to help Rebecca?” Janet demanded.

Concerned about the implications of Charlie’s involvement, Janet wasted no time in issuing orders. “Lisa, replace some paparazzi and have them watch them twenty–four seven!”

Lisa hesitated at Janet’s suspicions before comprehending them fully. “Janet, are you suggesting that Charlie is

financially supporting Rebecca? Like, as her sugar daddy?”

Janet’s response was a cold smirk. “Why else would Charlie go to such lengths for Rebecca if there weren’t ulterior

motives?

Considering Janet’s logic, Lisa nodded slowly. “You’re right, Charlie’s exceptional treatment of Rebecca does seem

peculiar.”

Janet wasted no time in giving instructions. “Arrange for people to watch over them and capture any intimate

moments between them. If possible, obtain video evidence.”

Lisa, though uneasy, agreed promptly. “Understood.”

“And initiate a few strategic leaks online, insinuating Charlie’s ‘financial support for Rebecca,” Janet continued.

Lisa hesitated momentarily but eventually complied. “I’ll handle it.”

In the entertainment industry, such maneuvers were commonplace. With a bit of investment, they could sway

public opinion, tarnishing their rivals‘ image and securing their own interests, be it for roles in shows or

endorsements.

“Janet, should we still attend the grand opening banquet later?” Lisa inquired cautiously.

They had prepared meticulously for the event, securing invitations and planning outfits and accessories. Janet

had even taken a day off to purchase the latest jewelry from Hivalis for the occasion. However, with their aspirations to represent Carter’s Jewel now in doubt, the banquet held a different significance.

“Of course we are!” Janet’s voice was stern and commanding.

Then, she chuckled, a sarcastic edge to her tone. “If nothing unexpected happens, Theodore will definitely attend today’s grand opening banquet too. I’d love to see the look on his face when he sees Rebecca and Charlie together at Carter’s Jewel’s opening ceremony. That would be quite amusing, wouldn’t it?”

Lisa’s eyes widened at Janet’s words as realization dawned upon her. “Oh my goodness, why didn’t I think of that earlier? If Rebecca managed to secure the spokesperson role at Carter’s Jewel by sleeping her way around, how would Mr. Edwards react if he found out? Rebecca would be in big trouble.”

Lisa’s excitement grew as she continued, “Janet, imagine if Mr. Edwards decides to divorce Rebecca on the spot! Once they’re divorced, you could marry Mr. Edwards!”

Janet was initially surprised by Lisa’s suggestion, but soon, a triumphant smile spread across her face as she nodded in agreement. “Yeah, that’s right.”

What had started as anger now transformed into a sense of gleeful anticipation for Janet? She couldn’t wait to witness the scene where Rebecca would be caught red–handed by Theodore. It was sure to be entertaining for her.

At Carter’s Jewel, Rebecca and Charlie found themselves surrounded by fans clamoring for their autographs. They were kept busy for a while, but thankfully, the frenzy didn’t last long.

Charlie, being a popular movie star in the country, attracted a crowd simply by standing at the entrance for a brief moment. More and more people arrived after hearing the news, eager to catch a glimpse of him.

To avoid chaos, Charlie and Rebecca exchanged a few words of comfort with their fans before being ushered inside by the staff.

Outside the jewelry store, the guests invited to the ribbon–cutting ceremony began to arrive one after another, warmly welcomed by the staff as they were ushered inside to take their seats.

As the ribbon–cutting ceremony was about to commence, Theodore’s Rolls Royce finally made its appearance. With an icy expression, Theodore stepped out of the car, his lips pressed together tightly. Following closely behind him was Jenny, adorned in a light blue dress and wearing a joyful smile.

As they descended from the luxury of Theodore’s car, Jenny instinctively intertwined her arm with his, a gesture of

intimacy and partnership that spoke volumes about their relationship.

Inside the opulent confines of the jewelry store, Debra’s voice was barely a whisper, tinged with a hint of disapproval as she addressed her husband. “Why did you invite him?”

Casting a

They didn’t hesitate to uproot themselves from Hivalis to Maeloria, setting up shop and purchasing a home there. Besides being closer to Rebecca, seeking retribution for her was also a top objective of theirs.

While the legalities of Rebecca’s divorce from Theodore might have been straightforward, the emotional toll of the Edwards family’s mistreatment was something that would linger for a long time.

Women may resolve conflicts through verbal sparring, content to claim victory in the heat of the moment.

But for men, the approach was often different.

Since the Edwards family dared to mistreat Rebecca, they shouldn’t be surprised if he decided to strike at the very core of their power.

He intended to systematically dismantle the Edwards family’s influence, leaving them to rue the day they betrayed his beloved daughter.
