Right as they were talking, the sound car engine starting up suddenly came from outside.
William opened the window to have a look, he saw Rebeccaâs sports car disappearing into the night.
He furrowed his brows. âWhere is she going? Didnât we agree to have a family dinner together?â
Tanya had no idea. She asked the maids and came back with an answer. âBecky told the maid to notify us that ende urgently needs to her.â

As she spoke, she couldnât bring herself to continue She knew Ethan and pretty well. They wouldnât have backed out at the last minute if it werenât for Bebera âBecky is feeling upset because Harvey lectured her yesterday. Sheâs never been scolded like that before.â

Harvey went to get Madison âBecky, and Jason are busy, so they make it.â
When Harvey met Madisonâs clear, bright eyes, he couldnât bring himself to lie, âDonât worry. When they , Ewill make things right for you.
Each of them deserved a good beating Harvey couldnât hat Rebecca, he wasnât going to hesitate to teach then and Jason a lesson.
Madison couldnât help but giggle at the of Harvey clenching teeth. âIâll count on you to stand up for me, Harvey â
