After the divorce, he begged

“What kind of attitude is that?” Candice scolded Rebecca, her expression sour. “Is this how the Jensen family Taught you manners?”

Rebecca didn’t respond. She just shot Mark a look.

Before Mark could say anything, Marcus stepped in first. “Don’t mind what Candice said–her words aren’t the nicest sometimes. We’re here for a reason today”

Rebecca honestly didn’t think there was anything important to discuss with them. She couldn’t let go of all the previous grudges, and after what she’d heard yesterday and everything, Stanley had confided in her, keeping her cool around these two was just impossible.

“So, what’s your connection with the Quinn family and the Guzman family in Honnala?” Marcus cut straight to the point.

“What exactly are you trying to ask?” Rebecca met his eyes, even more distant than she used to be.

Marcus glanced at the area, then suggested, “Want to talk inside?”

“No, Rebecca shot back, not bothering to soften her tone. “We’re not nearly close enough for me to invite you in. If you’ve got something to say, just say it here”

Back when she married Jeffrey, they did everything they could to block it and barely tolerated her, acting like she was invisible.

If Jeffrey hadn’t always shielded her, those past five years would’ve been hell–she would’ve been picked on nonstop by the whole Hanson family.

“Don’t you think the way you’re treating your elders is a little disrespectful?” Marcus’s face turned grim. “No. matter what, like it or not, we were still your family.”

“Funny, when you tried to take Samuel away, didn’t you say you weren’t my parents anymore?” Rebecca shot back, never one to forget a grudge–she remembered every single word from back then.

Marcus’s gaze was cold and sharp, like the edge of a blade.

Candice looked downright spiteful.

Neither of them liked Rebecca, but with her newfound status, they had no choice but to try to get close to her.

“We lost our heads back then, Marcus finally managed to tamp down his temper. “Honestly, we were just worried Samuel wouldn’t be happy living with you. If we’d known your grandpa was Sebastian Quinn and your father was Mr. Guzman, we would’ve handed you custody without hesitation–even if you’d kept quiet

about it.”

Rebecca just looked at them in silence, her eyes indifferent.

What’s his angle, trying to fix things now? Rebecca wondered. ‘Even if I admit I’m connected to the Quinn and Guzman families, after everything they’ve done, there’s no way I could ever actually trust them again!‘”
