CHAPTER 82
Debra and Patrick exchanged a discreet glance and then looked at Charlie and Rebecca, smiling,
“We’ve moved to Macloria now, so he also wanted to live together with us, and he applied for a transfer and was transferred to Maeloria,” Debra explained with a smile.
Charlie snorted, “It’s because Becky is here that he deliberately transferred over, isn’t it? Hmph, I know his mind all
too well!”
Patrick pretended to scold Chuck, “Chuck, don’t be so harsh. Bryce also wants to take better care of Becky.”
Charlie kept grunting like a pig, almost blowing air out through his nose.
“Okay, you’ve played with Becky all day and then took such a long flight. You must be tired. Let’s eat dinner first, then hurry and take a shower to rest!” Debra urged with a smile.
Charlie could only follow and take Rebecca to eat, then encourage her to take a shower and go to bed, saying,
“Early to bed and early to rise is good for health.”
Charlie didn’t dare to delay either. He had to catch the early morning flight back to the set to continue filming. The
movie wasn’t finished, and he still had to go back and continue shooting!
Janet had bought gems for Cynthia’s birthday present in Alagua City. When she came back home, she noticed that
Theodore’s grandparents no longer came to see her.
At first, Janet didn’t notice anything amiss. Before long, Cynthia’s birthday had passed, and Sam and Melissa
stopped showing up, not even calling her.
Sam and Melissa used to be very concerned about Arthur, visiting almost every day to check on Arthur and urging her to give Theodore custody.
Sam and Melissa even wanted to take Arthur away to raise themselves, but she didn’t agree because she knew very well that Arthur was the biggest bargaining chip she had if she wanted to marry Theodore!
Sam and Melissa just wanted Arthur, and if she handed Arthur over to them now, she wouldn’t lose the qualification to negotiate anymore
So, no matter how much Sam and Melissa tempted her, she didn’t fall for it.
On the contrary, she took advantage of Sam and Melissa’s concern for Arthur to remind them that only after she married Theodore could Theodore obtain Arthur’s custody.
Everything went smoothly, and each time Sam and Melissa visited, she took great care of them, trying hard to please them.
After several months of effort, Sam and Melissa were touched by her. The most obvious sign was that when they visited Arthur at her house, their attitude towards her had become much kinder.
Janet thought that as long as she persisted, she could change Sam and Melissa’s minds. Persuading them to agree to her marriage with Theodore was just a question of time.
However, these past few days, she suddenly had a bad feeling.
It had been three days since Sam and Melissa had come to visit Arthur, and not even a video call to see Arthur.
At first, she didn’t realize there was a problem. But after two days, Sam and Melissa still didn’t react, as if they didn’t care about Arthur anymore.
Janet felt uneasy and even had a bizarre idea. “Could Sam and Melissa have secretly transferred Arthur’s custody while I was away?”
Janet thought this was very possible, especially since they were part of the Edwards family…
She immediately called the nanny, Mary, over and started questioning her. At this point, she noticed Mary was hiding something and was clearly not herself.
Janet had been working as an actress for several years, and sometimes, to play a role well, she often studied various ways to express emotions. Mary’s performance clearly indicated that she was lying.
Janet was furious and then questioned Mary.
Mary couldn’t stand up to Janet and, after being interrogated for an hour, she panicked and confessed everything.
After telling the truth, Mary knew that she was going to lose her job. She had been taking care of Arthur these months and being criticized and bullied by Janet. All the accumulated anger poured out at once.
“Why are you feeling so good?
“You don’t even know who the father of your child is. What a shameless bitch!!
“Give me this month’s salary. I’m not doing this job anymore!”
Mary said imperiously and then demanded in a very unhappy tone.
She had taken care of many children before, but this was the first time she was taking care of a child for a mistress.
She would never mention this to anyone else in the future, as she felt it was inauspicious.
10:55 Sun, 21 Jul Gu
Janet was already extremely angry, and Mary cursed before she could, causing her to burst into a rage all of a sudden. “Mary, watch your language. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
“Is this how your company trains you to talk to your employer?”
Mary folded her arms and said fiercely, “None of your business about my company!
“Give me my salary now, or I’ll put online the fact that you were hooking up with Theodore, forcing your sister
Rebecca to divorce Theodore.
“I want all the fans to see what a despicable bitch their favorite actress is!
“Oh, by the way, that precious baby isn’t Theodore’s!
“I’m curious how many men you’ve slept with that you don’t even know whose child you have. And you want to use this bastard to force your sister Rebecca to divorce Theodore? Disgusting!”
Janet trembled with fury and slapped Mary across the face with a fierce swing of her hand.
Mary was not someone to be messed with.
Brought up in the countryside, Mary was strong. As soon as she raised her hand, she tightly clutched Janet’s slim
arm!
Janet’s arm suddenly felt as if it was about to be broken, causing her excruciating pain.
Janet screamed in agony, “Ouch! Let go! Let go!!”
Mary snorted coldly and pushed Janet away as if throwing away trash.
Then she grabbed a tissue from the table next to her and began wiping her hands as if simply touching Janet had
dirtied them.
“Give me four hundred thousand, or I’ll post online the photos of the paternity test proving that Arthur isn’t Theodore’s child. I want the whole country to see what a despicable person Best Actress Janet is!” Mary began to
extort.
Janet was stunned, her eyes wide open. She looked down on Mary and was shocked by Mary’s demand. She couldn’t believe it. “You’re extorting me?
“I’m going to call the police!” Janet trembled with anger and said loudly.
Mary sneered, “Do you dare?
“If you dare to call the police, I dare to upload your affair with Theodore, forcing Rebecca to divorce Theodore, and

the fact that Arthur isn’t Theodore’s child to the internet!” Mary threatened again.
