But her approach completely infuriated Jas Horne.
"I told you to stop following , to stop clinging to ! What, have you fallen in love with ? Is that it? Is that why you're following , clinging to ? Do you even know who I am? I'm the Horne Family's illegitimate son, a worm born from Gian Horne's philandering! I can't give you the status of a prestigious family's young mistress, do you understand? If you're looking for a man, you should find soone better than !" Jas Horne grabbed Rebecca Hughes's shoulders, shouting at her furiously.
She imdiately struggled fiercely, her hands desperately trying to break free from his strong grip. But he held on tightly, so forcefully that her wrists ached.
"Jas Horne, you bastard!"
Rebecca Hughes raised her hand and slapped him, then scrambled to her feet and ran away in tears.
"Rebecca…"
Jas Horne wanted to chase after her, but his feet felt as heavy as lead, unable to move even half a step.
He was drowning in his own painful world, and in doing so, he had hurt Rebecca Hughes.
In an instant, Jas Horne felt as though his heart was being torn apart. He couldn't shake the image of Rebecca Hughes's tear-stained face from his mind.
「Serendipity Cafe.」
Silvia Baxter sat in a corner, leisurely sipping a cup of coffee.
Her striking appearance and charming aura made her the center of attention even in the corner, with many won sneaking glances at her from ti to ti.
Although yesterday's events had ended in failure, she had gained sothing. At least she had t Julia, which slightly eased her yearning.
"Mistress, that guy's calling again."
The comical ringtone shattered her leisurely mood.
Pulling out her phone, she saw it was a call from her dad. Silvia Baxter quickly answered.
"Silvia Baxter, what 'good deed' have you done in T City now? Get back here imdiately, right now! Otherwise, don't even think about stepping foot in the Baxter family ho again!" her father's angry voice bood through the phone.
"Dad? What's wrong?" Silvia Baxter asked, surprised.
What could I have done to make Dad so furious?
"What's wrong? You ask what's wrong?! Is the Horne Family's eldest young madam soone you can trifle with? It would be one thing if you were just joking around, but you actually... Don't say another word! Co back imdiately, or I'll publicly announce that I'm disowning you! You're too... too reckless! You have no idea of the gravity of this situation!" Her father was truly furious.
After receiving Glades Horne's call complaining about her, he felt all the blood rush to his head. His daughter was actually trying to get involved with the Horne Family's eldest young madam, Glades Horne's beloved wife! Who did she think Glades Horne was? Did she really believe she could go up against him? Usually, he didn't mind his daughter's romantic escapades, as long as she didn't cause any real trouble. But this ti, she had directly antagonized Glades Horne, even resorting to sches and plots. Wasn't this a deliberate provocation?
Having collaborated with the Horne Family for decades, he knew Glades Horne's thods and capabilities better than anyone.
His daughter might possess so cunning, but compared to Glades Horne, it was like comparing an ant to an elephant. There was simply no contest!
It was enough to drive him mad! His precious daughter had completely shad him, making him lose all face.
Glades Horne figured out it was ? And he actually tattled to Dad?
I haven't even inherited the family company yet and hold very little real power. Dad could send away at any ti and choose another successor.
Glades Horne... it seems you really do have a few tricks up your sleeve.
"Silvia Baxter, I'm giving you one day! If I don't see you by tonight, then don't bother coming back at all!" her father barked, still fuming, before abruptly hanging up.
Silvia Baxter's expression turned grim, her face paling. She looked utterly furious.
But her father's words were undeniably effective. She had no choice but to return ho imdiately.
Glades Horne, just you wait. I, Silvia Baxter, will be back!
Filled with resentnt, Silvia Baxter left T City once again.
Soon after Silvia Baxter was forced to leave T City by her furious father, Noah Reyes, who was far across the ocean, also received the news imdiately.
