Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

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.

Elyse caught the venomous glare Rebekah shot her way, prompting her to stay vigilant in the future. Just then, Freddy changed the subject.

“By the way, did you receive Lizzie Robinson’s wedding invitation? She’s tying the knot with a wealthy businessman and wants to host a pre-wedding dinner for us, her old classmates.”

Elyse was taken aback. She fished out her phone. “I changed my number and missed it.”

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.

“No worries, I’ll add you to the group chat. You can join me at the dinner tonight,” Freddy offered.

“Can I tag along too? I’d like to attend,” Rebekah asked, leaning in.
