Standing outside the bar, Richard was about to hail a cab to confront Rebecca when he suddenly realized he didn’t even know where she lived.

Just then, a text appeared on his phone: [Rebecca lives in Unit 1802, Building 1, Maple Garden. She works at PrimePlay Technologies.]

Richard frowned and replied: [Who are you?]

When there was no response, he used the last of his cash to flag down a taxi heading toward Rebecca’s apartment complex. His anger only grew with each passing minute.

The events of the day replayed vividly in his mind. If it weren’t for that damn Rebecca, Jeffrey wouldn’t have targeted him.

The moment Richard left the bar, Brady informed Stanley, who then immediately told Jeffrey, “Richard left the bar. He’s probably going after Rebecca.”

“Did you give him Rebecca’s address?” Jeffrey asked.

Stanley responded, “No, you told me not to.”

Jeffrey relaxed a bit. “Good.”

Stanley kindly reminded him, “Aren’t you sending guards? What if he harasses Rebecca?”

Although Richard had learned the hard way that even without Jeffrey, Rebecca wasn’t someone he could just push around, Stanley wondered if a week of washing cups might’ve finally driven him to the edge.

Jeffrey hung up after dismissing the idea, clearly not wanting to discuss the matter further.

Since he showed no concern, Stanley didn’t press the issue.

Inside, Rebecca was listening to Samuel’s funny school stories when the doorbell rang. She froze when she saw who it was and slammed the door shut in reflex immediately.

“That’s no way to greet your father!” Richard shoved against the door and barged into the modest apartment. “You’re guarding this dump like it’s some palace.”

Unable to stop him, Rebecca demanded, “What are you doing here?”

“Visiting my daughter,” Richard replied, scanning the room with an entitled look. “Got a problem with that?”

Rebecca followed him into the apartment.
