Gregory noticed Jeffrey getting paler by the minute and couldn’t help saying, “You’re heading back to Jelasburg tomorrow. Maybe you should swing by the hospital and get that wound taken care of first.”

Jeffrey just nodded.

Gregory walked alongside him, careful not to offer any help. With all those people around, he didn’t want anyone using it against them.

Rebecca kept her eyes on Jeffrey as he left. Even though he played it cool, she knew deep down that his injury must’ve gotten worse.

But this was something they’d have to face sooner or later.

She figured it was better to just lay everything out on the table at once.

“Rebecca?” Jessica Scott walked over, calling her name a few times, trying to get her attention.

Rebecca didn’t really come back to herself until Jeffrey had left the banquet hall.

Jessica Scott noticed something was up and glanced in the direction Rebecca was staring, but saw nothing there. “What did Max Quinn say to you? You look terrible.”

Rebecca asked, “Do I really look that bad?”

Jessica Scott answered, “Oh yeah, you look really rough.”

Rebecca lowered her gaze, suppressing her feelings.

The knife she’d aimed at Jeffrey ended up hurting herself in the process.

It wasn’t a big wound, but damn, it stung.

“Seriously, what did he say to you?” Jessica had never seen Rebecca this shaken up; even when she and Jeffrey were fighting or getting divorced, she never looked like this. “Just spill it, I’ll help you get back at him.”

“It’s not him,” Rebecca replied.

None of the stuff Max Quinn said ever got to her.

She didn’t give a damn no matter who told her to quit.

“Then who is it?” Jessica pressed.

Rebecca’s chest felt tight, her mood far from the relief she’d expected–if anything, she just felt weighed down inside.
