Chapter 14 Who Does He Think He Is?

He wasn't about to suffer another humiliating slap across the face!

Rebecca's eyes widened in shock. "Alistair, are you challenging me? You actually dared to fight back?"

Alistair pushed her hand away. "Rebecca, I'd rather not stoop to fighting with a woman like you."

His warning came in an even tone, his expression barely changing-yet it carried as much intimidation as if he'd shouted at her.

Rebecca stumbled backward, her mind reeling with shock. This wasn't her imagination. Alistair seemed like a stranger!

Suddenly, Rebecca felt like she was meeting him for the first time.

Rebecca stood frozen for barely two seconds before quickly recovering. She glared at Alistair with a mocking smile. "Alistair, know your place! The more you act like this, the more I can't stand you!"

Alistair looked at her, completely baffled. "Whether you like me or not, why would I care?" he replied coldly.

Actually, he hoped she wouldn't like him at all. Who would want the affection of a crazy woman? The very thought made his skin crawl.

Rebecca kept her eyes fixed on him.

This unfamiliar version of Alistair made Rebecca's heart race with anxiety.

She hadn't realized that something important was slipping from her control, something she desperately wanted to hold onto, fearing that once released, it would be gone forever.

Her eyes fell on the beautifully wrapped gift box in his hands. "I really underestimated you," she sneered. "Looks like Vivienne has a soft spot for you. But let me warn you. Vivienne isn't exactly a step up. She's just playing with you because you're something new. Do you honestly think she likes you?"

Even someone as dense as Alistair could now see that Rebecca had completely misunderstood his relationship with Vivienne.

At first, he was bewildered. Vivienne was supposed to be her best friend, after all. She shouldn't describe Vivienne as such a casual girl.

Then it hit him. This was Rebecca after all. The same Rebecca who, when he "misbehaved", would force him to stand barefoot on the freezing balcony in winter wearing only thin pajamas, making him face the wall all night with the windows wide open.

Even when he caught a terrible cold the next day, barely able to stand without passing out, she still expected him to prepare three meals daily for her and Daniel, only to call him useless afterward.

Someone like her didn't deserve friends.

Alistair didn't care about being falsely accused himself, but he felt it was unfair to Vivienne.
