Chapter 23 I Divorced Him
1/7
These past few days, Alistair's phone had been flooded with calls from unfamiliar numbers.
He didn't answer a single one. Only after changing to a new number did he finally regain peace.
Growing increasingly suspicious, Cordelia reluctantly decided to call Alistair herself-only to find the number disconnected.
Refusing to let it go, she pressed Rebecca for answers. Rebecca simply confessed, "I divorced him."
"What?" Cordelia was thunderstruck. "Why?"
Why else?
Of course, it's because my first love came back. Alistair, now superfluous, had to step aside to make room for him.
Rebecca didn't explain. Instead, she clutched a pillow over her head and cried out in distress, "Mom, can you just stop asking? Since you never liked him, isn't this divorce exactly what you and Dad wanted? I can find a better husband-isn't that enough?"
Seeing Rebecca's emotional state, Cordelia assumed she was traumatized by the divorce and didn't dare push further. She immediately concluded it was all Alistair's fault.

"Didn't I warn you? A freeloader like Alistair is worthless. Fine, it's too late now. Since he betrayed you, your father and I won't let him get away with it."
Rebecca panicked, afraid her doting parents would go after Alistair-because that would expose Richard's involvement.
The excitement she'd felt when Richard returned was now eclipsed by regret.
Hesitantly, Rebecca said, "Mom, don't go after him. We parted on amicable terms."
"You poor, deluded girl. You're still defending him? How do I make you see the truth?"
Furious, Cordelia scolded, "I give you 500 thousand dollars in allowance every month, and you spend every last cent without fail. Did you waste it all on him?" Rebecca couldn't answer-because all that money had gone to Richard.
"Every time he came over, he only ever wore those two outfits, always acting meek and obedient. I actually thought he was decent. Well, that little bastard fooled both me and your father- how impressive. This isn't over."
