Chapter 293:
Freddy's voice turned icy as he confronted Rebekah. “Did you believe | wouldn't notice you did it intentionally?”
His eyes were filled with undisguised disgust.
Rebekah shrank back, unsettled by Freddy's chilling demeanor. She managed a forced smile and replied, “I'm not
sure what you're referring to. | don’t understand.”
“You don’t understand?” Freddy scoffed. “You're such a phony. Do you genuinely like me?”
Struggling to maintain her composure, Rebekah feigned sincerity, saying, “Of course I like you.”
Freddy's smile held no warmth as he retorted with disdain, “You don’t like me. You're only interested in taking me
away from Elyse. You're envious of everything about her.”
Rebekah’s smile faltered slightly. “What does Elyse have to do with this? Even without her, I'd still care for you.”
Freddy remained unconvinced by Rebekah’s words. Pushing her aside, he tied his bathrobe, grabbed his soiled
coat, and headed into the bathroom. He'd rather wear soiled clothes than remain in Rebekah’s presence.
Perplexed, Rebekah couldn't fathom how things had escalated so quickly. She mustered her best acting skills,
conjuring a few tears to appear pitiful, hoping to garner Freddy's sympathy and persuade him to stay in the hotel
and spend the night with her.

However, when Freddy emerged from the bathroom, he immediately opened the door and left without sparing a
glance at Rebekah.
Frozen in shock for a moment, Rebekah eventually cried out into the empty room, but Freddy paid no heed to her
pleas.

As Freddy walked out of the hotel, a frown creased his face, enduring the discomfort of his soiled clothes. Pulling
out his phone, he dialed Elyse’s number.
Elyse was surprised by his call. “Why are you calling me? Aren't you with Rebekah?”
Freddy was taken aback. “How did you find out | was with her?”
Scratching her head, Elyse replied, “I just called you, and she picked up and said you two were an item.”
Reflecting on Rebekah’s recent remarks, he couldn't help but smirk coldly and with a touch of irony. “It seemed
Rebekah had quite the knack for spinning lies.”
Collecting himself, he said, “Something doesn’t add up with Rebekah. She's sitting on a hefty savings account,
flaunting a limited edition purse, and even treating everyone to afternoon tea.”
Elyse, who was in the midst of taking her medicine, was startled by Freddy's revelations. “Did Rebekah win a
lottery?”
Furrowing his brow, Freddy replied, “I'm not sure. | had a feeling something was off, so | trailed her. | caught her
conversing with Vicky in the garden, mentioning something about evidence, though I couldn't make out the
specifics.”
Elyse’s eyes widened in shock. “Rebekah mentioned evidence?”
“That's right. | agreed to have dinner with her today because | wanted to get swords from her, but...”
Freddy’s expression soured with disgust as he recalled the events that followed.
Recognizing that Freddy did it for her, Elyse was touched. “Thank you,” she said sincerely.
Freddy smiled bitterly. He knew his actions were driven by selfish motives, hoping Elyse would remember his
kindness in the future. He felt like a coward, unable to openly declare his love for her. Instead, he resorted to
covert gestures, plotting ways to make Elyse recognize his kindness.
“I suspect Rebekah knows something. She’s behaving oddly. I'll keep investigating for your sake,” he continued.
After a moment of silence, Elyse sighed and replied, “Thank you. I'll treat you and other guys to dinner once this
is all resolved.”

Freddy nodded. “Alright. I'll have sexpensive dishes, please.”
Elyse chuckled. “Got it. Everything will be topnotch. | promise you'll enjoy it.”
After ending the call, Jayden, who had been standing nearby, glared at her menacingly. “That was a man’s voice.
You'll be treating him to dinner?”
Elyse shot Jayden a sharp glare. “It’s Freddy. He mentioned that Rebekah might know something and could have
evidence.”
Intrigued, Jayden urged her to divulge more details. After hearing her explanation, he rubbed his chin in thought.
“The substantial amount in Rebekah’s account could be from Mabel.”
Elyse scoffed. “Impossible. Rebekah doesn’t even know Mabel. How could they be involved?”
Jayden shrugged casually. “If you doubt it, | can have someone check their transaction records. If Rebekah
received money from Mabel, it suggests they not only know each other but also conducted sbusiness.”
“How could you check their transaction records?” Elyse was aware of Jayden’s influence, but she found the idea
dubious.
Seeing her skepticism, Jayden pinched her cheek and grinned. “Then I'll have to prove it to you and earn your
trust.”
Though she didn’t voice it, Elyse realized Jayden wasn't bluffing. He indeed held significant power and influence.
