Derek took the dishwasher voucher and the 1,000 dollars in cash. After giving her a quick thanks, he left.

After work, she overheard Derek on the phone. Only then did she realize why all the fuss had happened.

“Hey, babe, I bought that dishwasher we liked,” Derek said as he walked, phone to his ear. “It was 1,000 dollars cheaper than what we saw online. I only spent 9 thousand dollars.”

Rebecca immediately understood. She hadn’t expected that Derek, usually so honest and easygoing, would deceive his wife over such a trivial matter.

She acted like she hadn’t heard and walked to the subway. She had intended to pick up Samuel herself, but Jessica had already taken care of it.

When she got home, she saw Jessica and felt a little surprised. “Ian said you’ve been really busy lately.”

“It’s all done,” Jessica blurted out.

Rebecca set down her bag and walked over.

With a sly smile, Jessica whispered, “Do you know what I’ve been up to lately?”

Rebecca shook her head.

Jessica said, “A few days ago, Dad told me Andrea contacted him, demanding shares of the Scott Group, as well as my entertainment company and other assets.”

Jessica hadn’t mentioned it earlier to keep Rebecca from worrying. She continued, “Andrea said that if we didn’t agree, Jeffrey would help her get them.”

Rebecca felt a jolt of concern and frowned. “Why didn’t you say anything?”

“I didn’t want you to worry,” Jessica said bluntly. “Besides, I’ve already taken care of part of it.”

Curious, Rebecca asked, “How did you handle it?”

Jessica said slowly, “I had someone look into Andrea, and they found some secrets she’s been hiding. I’m going to bring it up with her tomorrow.”

“It might not be that easy,” Rebecca said carefully, knowing Andrea well. “Jeffrey spoils her. He’ll go to great lengths to hide whatever she doesn’t want anyone to know.”

“Guess what? She deliberately hid this from Jeffrey,” Jessica said with a smile.

Rebecca felt puzzled. She thought, ‘What could Andrea possibly be hiding from Jeffrey? She has already made it clear she’s not exactly a good person.

Rebecca skipped lunch and headed straight to the hospital where Andrea was. Jessica offered to come along, saying she might be able to
