Chapter 124

With her thoughts sorted out, Rebecca stepped out of the elevator and followed Jason to the conference

room.

In front of Marcus and Candice sat two untouched cups of coffee. Their faces were stern, radiating an unmistakable sense of authority.

“Take your time. If you need anything, just let me know. I’ll be right outside,” Jason said politely, knowing all too well what it would mean if PrimePlay Technologies were to anger the Hanson family.

Marcus replied, “Yeah.”

As the conference room door closed behind them, Rebecca found herself alone with Marcus and Candice.

Sitting across from Marcus and Candice, Rebecca felt the last remnants of fear fade away. She looked them right in the eye and asked casually, “Mr. Hanson, Mrs. Hanson, what brings you here today?”

“Switching the way you address us already, and you haven’t even divorced yet.” Candice’s disapproving glare was obvious. “The Jensen family sure has a way with daughters.”

Rebecca snapped back, “Weren’t you the ones who said you didn’t like me?”

Rebecca could still recall that last encounter, every detail crystal clear in her mind. She’d addressed them with all the proper manners, only for Candice to throw her a biting remark: “We don’t like you.”

Rebecca wasn’t shameless. If they didn’t like her, she’d simply be away from them.

“You really think that just because Jeffrey took care of you for a few years, you have the right to stand up to the Hanson family?” Candice said, her tone heavy with pressure. “If we wanted to, ruining you would be all too easy.”

Rebecca replied politely, “You’re right.”

Candice’s anger flared up instantly. ‘This clueless brat,‘ Candice cursed inwardly. ‘Does this girl seriously think Jeffrey’s going to shield her forever?‘

“Let’s get down to business,” Marcus said, giving Candice a small nudge before fixing his eyes on Rebecca. “So, when are you two going to divorce?”

“Next Friday,” Rebecca answered.

Marcus frowned. “Why Friday?”

Rebecca replied, “That’s the only time he can make it.”

Marcus and Candice exchanged a glance, both thinking that Jeffrey had finally come to his senses and realized what was truly important.

They thought, “They still need to wrap up this divorce as soon as possible. Having Rebecca around our son is
