"What exactly are you trying to do?" Jordyn demanded.

Rebecca smiled with satisfaction. "Ms. Cheatham, don't be upset. I'm here to help you."

"Help me?" Jordyn looked at Rebecca as if she had just heard a bad joke, her gaze tinged with sarcasm. "What exactly can you do to help me?"

"Help you become Mrs. Jordyn Sumner, of course," Rebecca replied.

"We're already married. Do you want to see the marriage certificate?" Jordyn shot back.

Rebecca regarded her indifferently, her tone light and airy. "Aside from that piece of paper, what else do you have? As far as I know, none of the Sumners, including Clark, seem to take you seriously." Jordyn clenched her hands tightly, her expression falling.

Rebecca hissed. Rebecca's calm demeanor faltered slightly, her gaze growing colder. "It seems you're not interested in polite conversation."

"I have nothing to say to you," Jordyn retorted.
