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.
