Chapter 23 I Divorced Him 

1/7 

These past few days, Alistair’s phone had been flooded with calls from unfamiliar numbers

He didn’t answer a single one. Only after changing to a new number did he finally regain peace

Growing increasingly suspicious, Cordelia reluctantly decided to call Alistair herselfonly to find the number disconnected

Refusing to let it go, she pressed Rebecca for answers. Rebecca simply confessed, I divorced him.” 

What?Cordelia was thunderstruck. Why?” 

Why else

Of course, it’s because my first love came back. Alistair, now superfluous, had to step aside to make room for him

Rebecca didn’t explain. Instead, she clutched a pillow over her head and cried out in distress, Mom, can you just stop asking? Since you never liked him, isn’t this divorce exactly what you and Dad wanted? I can find a better husbandisn’t that enough?” 

Seeing Rebecca’s emotional state, Cordelia assumed she was traumatized by the divorce and didn’t dare push further. She immediately concluded it was all Alistair’s fault

Didn’t I warn you? A freeloader like Alistair is worthless. Fine, it’s too late now. Since he betrayed you, your father and I won’t let him get away with it.” 

Rebecca panicked, afraid her doting parents would go after Alistairbecause that would expose Richard’s involvement

The excitement she’d felt when Richard returned was now eclipsed by regret

Hesitantly, Rebecca said, Mom, don’t go after him. We parted on amicable terms.” 

You poor, deluded girl. You’re still defending him? How do I make you see the truth?” 

Furious, Cordelia scolded, I give you 500 thousand dollars in allowance every month, and you spend every last cent without fail. Did you waste it all on him?” 

Rebecca couldn’t answerbecause all that money had gone to Richard

Every time he came over, he only ever wore those two outfits, always acting meek and obedient. I actually thought he was decent. Well, that little bastard fooled both me and your father- how impressive. This isn’t over.” 

Mom!” 

So this is why you kept making excuses to keep him from

visiting us. He was probably using your money to chase other women. We’re not letting you handle this anymoreyour father and I are stepping in.” 

Out of options, Rebecca turned to Anne for advice

Her goal was simpleno matter what it took, make Alistair admit he was the one at fault for the failed marriage

Before reaching out to Anne, she had even contacted Alistair’s father

But he stammered and told her Alistair had cut ties with him

It suddenly dawned on Rebecca that, right after the divorce, Alistair had somehow vanished into thin air. Seeing him again. now seemed impossible

Anne said, What’s the big deal? Just tell your parents you’re dating Richard. He’s so outstandingthey’ll adore him. Oh, Rebecca, by the way, last night I met this insanely hot guyhis build, his aurajust wow.” 

Rebecca ignored the latter part and sighed, Anne, it’s not that simple. My parents wouldn’t approve of Richard.” 

How is that possible? Compared to Alistair, Richard is like a cloud in the sky! If they don’t even like Richard, then what kind of man could possibly meet their standards?” 

Rebecca fell silentbecause Richard was illegitimate, the son of 

a mistress

Rumors said Richard’s mother had driven his father’s legal wife 

4/7 to suicide before finally marrying into the family

It had been a major scandal back then, but Richard’s father had suppressed it. Younger generations didn’t know, but the older crowd remembered it clearly

The Morgan family’s rise had depended on the first wife’s influence. The moment her family lost power, Richard’s father allowed the homewrecker to force her way ineven driving the first wife to her death. His heartless, backstabbing behavior horrified many, earning widespread disdain. Several elite families deliberately distanced themselves from the Morgans- the Whitfields among them

Rebecca had been charmed by Richard’s refined, scholarly demeanor and fell head over heels. But after merely mentioning his name a few times, her parents immediately warned her to stay away

She ignored them and secretly dated Richard anyway

At a party, after one too many drinks, Richard helped her to a hotel room

Rebecca steered the conversation back to Alistair

What? Alistair has a wifeand a daughter as old as Danny?Anne perked up. Rebecca, Vivienne seemed pretty into him, didn’t she? How could heIs his wife fat, old, and ugly? Maybe he knew Vivienne wouldn’t take him seriously, so he used his

looks to latch onto some rich woman and became her daughter’s stepdad? Damn, he’s got skills.” 

Rebecca’s mind flashed to those cool, detached yet resolute eyes

Their owner was neither old nor uglyon the contrary, she was stunning. So stunning that even Rebecca, who prided herself on her beauty, felt inferior

That womanRebecca admitted reluctantly, She’s not ugly. She’s young.” 

Then she must be an actress Alistair hired. He’s doing this to mess with you. If you take it seriously, you’re falling right into his trap.” 

Rebecca’s eyes lit 

up slightly

Is that it? It must be

Otherwise, how else would Dad just happento see him dining with her? He knew Dad would tell me

He looks like an honest man, but he’s actually so cunning

Butis that really it

Alistair’s eyes surfaced in her mind again

There was an emotion in them she had always overlooked- disgust

It felt like invisible hands were tightening around her throat. Suddenly, she could barely breathe

Rebecca, come to my office.” 

The abrupt call carried Nathaniel’s unusually stern voice

It seems Mom ignored my plea. Dad already knows my marriage fell apart

In the spacious, sunlit office, Nathaniel paced with his hands. behind his back, brows furrowed. He stopped abruptly, sharp eyes locking onto the composed young man sitting nearby

Alistair, do you dare take responsibility for what you said today?” 

Alistair smiled calmly, If you don’t believe me, what’s the point of swearing? Once your daughter arrives, the truth will come 

out.” 

Nathaniel’s temple throbbed

This world has gone mad
