Vengeful



Chapter 72

"Yeah. I heard that Rebecca was also a mistress back then. What goes around comes around," said another nurse.

"It's really pitiful for the original Mrs. Hernandez and her daughter. I heard that the death of the original Mrs. Hernandez was related to the mistress!"

Several nurses were whispering, and their newspapers were directly snatched away.

Just as they were about to scold the person, they saw Rebecca standing behind them with a gloomy face. Thinking about what they had just said, their expressions changed, and they immediately walked away.

Rebecca trembled as she looked at the newspaper in her hand. Printed on it was a photo of William and another woman in an intimate embrace. Because they were naked, certain parts were pixelated. Rebecca was shocked by this sudden bolt from the blue. Her legs went weak for a moment, and she almost fell. What followed was a surge of fury.

Clutching the newspaper, she stormed out of the hospital, paying no heed to Sarah, who was still unconscious in the ward.

Rebecca first made a call home and learned that William hadn't come back home all night, making her even more furious.

Hailing a taxi, she headed straight for the Hernandez Group.

It was office hours, and as Rebecca entered the company, she headed straight for the elevator. Many people in the company had seen the morning news, and seeing Rebecca's furious appearance as she came to settle scores made them all retreat, fearing being implicated.

Rebecca went straight to the top floor in the elevator.

As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw William and the secretary coming out of the chairman's office. The secretary was almost glued to William. Seeing this intimate scene, Rebecca was so angry that she was trembling.

She strode forward and slapped the secretary's face.

The secretary screamed, taking a few steps back from the force of Rebecca's slap, colliding with William.

William steadied the secretary, helping her up. In Rebecca's eyes, this was defending the secretary. With a fierce and vicious expression, Rebecca raised her hand and slapped the secretary again. At this time, it was during office hours, and the secretary's office and the assistant's office were nearby. Everyone was somewhat shocked by that.

William, seeing Rebecca causing a scene so early in the morning, also wore an unpleasant expression.

He valued his dignity and originally felt a bit sorry for Rebecca. But now he was angry at Rebecca making him lose face.

William shouted, "What are you going crazy for so early in the morning? If you want to vent, go home and do it. What are you doing here at the company?"

William had been annoyed since last night, and Rebecca's causing trouble early in the morning only worsened his mood.

"I'm going crazy? William, how dare you cheat on me? Is it this bitch seducing you? I'll kill her," Rebecca said.

Rebecca's eyes turned red with anger as she glared at William, feeling even more upset as he protected another woman. She raised her hand to strike again.

"Mr. Hernandez, help me!" the secretary screamed in terror, cowering into William's arms.

With a sullen expression, William, provoked by Rebecca's hysterics, held the secretary in his arm and slapped Rebecca, roaring angrily, "Have you had enough? Don't you know where you are? Go home if you want to cause a scene!"

Rebecca was stunned by William's slap. Her cheek stung hotly, and she looked at William in disbelief.

She hadn't expected William to actually hit her. After the shock, she trembled with anger. "William, do you have no conscience? You're cheating on me and still hit me!" Rebecca shouted. William shouted, "So what if I cheated? Don't forget, you were also a mistress back then. Enough with the drama. Go home and stop embarrassing me!"

William hadn't intended to hit Rebecca, but he hadn't expected her to make a scene in the company. With all the troubles on his mind from last night until now, his patience was exhausted. Being caused trouble by Rebecca early in the morning, he felt a splitting headache. Plus, the Hernandez Group was facing bankruptcy these days, and his anger crupted.

Rebecca looked at William in disbelief, never imagining he would speak to her like this. Her face flushed with resentment and anger.

Tears of resentment and anger filled her eyes, and she no longer cared about her dignity as she shouted at William.

'William, don't forget, even if I became the mistress, it was because you forced me to. Back then, you were the one who married Vivienne for her family's wealth and status. It was your own ambition...

Rebecca's words were cut short by a furious slap from William.

This slap was even harder and more ruthless than the first. His face contorted with rage.

"Bitch, get back home!" William roared, terrified that this crazy woman might reveal more scandals. "William, I'll fight you to the end!" Rebecca shouted.

Being slapped by William, Rebecca couldn't bear it. She went crazy and rushed towards him. William's face and body were instantly scratched by Rebecca, leaving several wounds. His face darkened with anger.

He kicked Rebecca to the ground, saying harshly, "Get back home immediately, or I'll deal with you!"

Rebecca was terrified by William's ferociousness. She looked utterly disheveled, with none of her previous elegance.

William ignored the fallen Rebecca, and with a rush of anger, he left in a hurry.

The secretary, disdainfully glancing at Rebecca, gave a slight sneer and followed William out.

Left behind, Rebecca screamed in agony, her eyes filled with malice as she watched the two figures leaving.

"William, you won't have it easy!" Rebecca shouted.

Back at the Holland family, Brian had already gone to sleep. After checking on him, Audrey covered him with the kicked-off blanket and went straight to her lab.

It was daytime overseas, and while waiting for the experimental data, Audrey reviewed the previous comparative data.

Her expression grew serious.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

She had tried more than ten methods over the past few days, but almost all of them had failed.

Since returning to the country, Brian's seizures had become more frequent, and she simply didn't have much time to waste.

If he had another seizure a few times, she wouldn't be able to control it.

Now, the only surefire way to cure Brian was to have another child with the same father and mother.

Audrey pursed her lips. She was unwilling to entangle with Dylan.

She picked up her phone and dialed an overseas number. "It's me. I need a favor!"
