In Rebecca's office, Mio stood before her. Rebecca leaned back lazily in her chair, exuding an air of dominance-no longer the clingy, affectionate woman she once appeared to be, but a commanding businesswoman with a sharp, predatory aura.

If she had been like a soft, cuddly ragdoll cat before, now she was a sleek black panther, poised to strike at any moment.

Mio had already guessed much of the truth, but he still clung to a shred of hope as he asked, "Rebecca, when you were with me, was there even a single moment of sincerity?"

"Sincerity?" Rebecca scoffed, her disdain evident. "Mr. Walsh, you've spent years playing the field, yet now you want to ask someone else if they were sincere? Don't you find that laughable?"

Her words cut deep, and Mio's expression tightened.

"What if I told you I was sincere with you? Would you believe me?" His gaze softened as he looked at her, his voice trembling with intensity. Losing the project didn't matter anymore-he couldn't bear to lose her.

Rebecca sneered, her lips curving into a mocking smile. "Sincere? That's a line you've probably fed to countless women. Even if you haven't said it a hundred times, it's got to be at least eighty. Do you think I'd fall for it?"

"If you didn't believe me, why did you agree to be my girlfriend?" Mio asked, struggling to suppress his growing frustration.

"Do you remember Lisa?" Rebecca replied coldly.

"Lisa? Which Lisa?" Mio asked instinctively, his mind flipping through the endless names and faces he'd encountered over the years.

Rebecca chuckled bitterly. "You've forgotten her name, haven't you? She was the one who tried to kill herself because of you-she sank into depression, and it took her a whole year to recover from the wreckage of what you did to her. And here you are, having completely erased her from your memory."

The mention of suicide jolted Mio's memory. "You mean the Lisa who threatened to jump into the sea if I didn't take her back? What is she to you?"

"She's my friend," Rebecca said, her voice sharp with anger. "I couldn't stand watching you destroy her just to achieve your goals. You left her with scars that will never heal. And then there's my brother's girlfriend-you harmed her and her unborn child. Do you really think I'd ever let you off the hook?"
