Chapter 37:

Rebekah gritted her teeth, seething with a desire to retaliate against Elyse. She always prided herself on her genteel demeanor in front of Freddy, but today she felt her facade crumble, tarnishing her image irreparably.

“Rebekah, promise this won’t happen again,” Freddy interjected.

“Sure, I promise,” she muttered, refraining from further defense. Secretly, she harbored resentment towards Elyse for tarnishing her impression in Freddy’s eyes.

Suddenly, Rebekah burst into laughter, understanding why Elyse had changed her number. Though she remained unaware of how Elyse managed to erase the online chatter and prove her innocence overnight, the damage to her reputation was done. Everyone knew of her failed relationship.
