HONEY, Love Me One More Time novel Chapter 43

Hearing her words, all the people present fixed their eyes on Cristofer, who had been silent.
Melody said anxiously, “Cristofer, say something. Didn’t you say that you would love Gretchen forever? It was Gretchen who accompanied you to get through your hard time. Did you forget it? You can’t be so ungrateful!”
Gretchen showed an aggrieved look as Melody spoke, lowered her head, and bit her lower lip. Then her eyes turned red, and tears streamed down her cheeks.
Seeing this, Rebecca sneered and said, “Miss Grantham, you really have good acting skills. Which university did you graduate from?”
“I...” Gretchen pouted and was about to cry. Then she said in a choked voice, “Miss Hudson, you’ve gone too far.”
Rebecca snapped at her, “You lived in Estelle’s house and seduced Estelle’s husband. How could you have the nerve to say that Estelle has gone too far? Miss Grantham, you are such a hypocrite!”
“Shut up!” Cristofer interrupted Rebecca with a frown.
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, “Estelle and I have signed the divorce agreement. We’ll get divorced soon. Gretchen is the only one I will love for the rest of my life.”
Rebecca was shocked. “Cristofer, you... How can you...”
Cristofer stared at Estelle and said through gritted teeth, “Rebecca, why don’t you ask your good friend Estelle what she has done to the Hans family and me? Gretchen, let’s go.”
Then he took Gretchen’s hand and left with her.
“They are...”
“What’s going on?”
“I don’t know. What’s going on?”
The crowd began to whisper. So many things happened at the party that they were all puzzled.
Seeing this, York immediately shouted, “Estelle, how dare you slander Gretchen and me? You’re really something! As your Uncle, I must teach you a lesson today!” Then he ordered the security guards, “Get the two of them out of here!”
The security guards rushed over, made a gesture of please to Estelle and Rebecca, and said, “Ladies, please leave now.”
“Even if you don’t let us go, I won’t stay here any longer. I don’t want to stay in the same space with someone like you!” Rebecca snarled and pulled Estelle’s arm. “Estelle, let’s go!”
Then, Estelle, who was in a trance, was pulled out of the house by Rebecca.
When they stopped under an osmanthus tree outside the house, Rebecca noticed something was wrong with Estelle. She asked with concern, “Estelle, are you okay?”
Estelle said with a forced smile, “I’m fine.”
“You are lying. You don’t look well at all,” Rebecca held her hand and said. “Why didn’t you tell me the truth when we met in the hospital? I treat you as my best friend, but you treat me as an outsider. You should have told me what you had suffered these years so that I could help you more.”
Estelle smiled and said gently, “Rebecca, thank you.”
“Don’t mention it. Estelle, you helped me when I was in the most difficult time. Now, let me help you. The woman called Miss Grantham is Cristofer’ mistress, right? I’ll help you teach her a lesson and let her pay for her shamelessness!”
“Thank you, Rebecca. But you don’t need to do that for me.” Estelle smiled painfully.
“Why?” Rebecca asked.
“Because I don’t want to be with Cristofer anymore. And just as he said, we have signed the divorce agreement and will get divorced soon.” 
Hearing that, Rebecca didn’t know what to say. Finally, after a long time, she sighed heavily and comforted Estelle, “I don’t know what happened between you and Cristofer. But I think what you just said is right. This is your home. That Miss Grantham and her parents have no right to live here.”
Estelle said, “Her family name is not Grantham.”
“What?” Rebecca was a little surprised. “Isn’t Gretchen your Uncle’s daughter? I know that you have an Uncle who was idle and always made trouble in the past, and your parents always cleaned up the mess for him. Is that beer-belly man that we just saw, your Uncle?”
Estelle nodded and said, “Yes, he is.”
“It’s really him! If I had known the party was held by him, I wouldn’t have come here today!” Rebecca said with her face full of disgust. “I didn’t expect that an ugly man like him could have a beautiful daughter. But her daughter is also a bad person. She really pissed me off just now. She’s so good at pretending. What a disgusting and hypocritical woman. I’m speechless,” Rebecca sneered.
Rebecca said a lot of words in succession, which deeply touched Estelle.
In the past few days, there were only two people with whom she could speak her mind. One was her Mr. Mysterious, and the other was Rebecca.
“Rebecca, I’m so happy to have a friend like you,” Estelle said sincerely.
“Me too,” Rebecca smiled and then hugged her. “Estelle, don’t be afraid. I’ll be with you all the way. Feel free to let me know if you need money. I’ll help you. Besides, just let it go since Cristofer has been with that disgusting woman. I’ll introduce some other handsome guys to you later.”
Hearing that, Estelle couldn’t help chuckling and said, “No, thanks. I’m old now. I don’t want to date anyone.”
“Come on. You’re only twenty-six years old. You are young! Twenty-six years old is the best age for a woman. And Estelle, you’re so beautiful today! Your dress and your shoes suit you very well! Just now, when you entered the house, I saw that several men were amazed by you. They even couldn’t take their eyes off you! Believe me, you are very charming, and countless men will go after you if they see you.”
With Rebecca talking and joking with her, Estelle was in a better mood and smiled widely.
However, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest after a while and frowned. Her face turned pale, and sweat trickled down her forehead.
Rebecca was astonished, “What’s wrong? Estelle, are you okay?”
“Rebecca, do me a favor.”
“Okay. What do you need?”
“There is a bottle of medicine in my bag. Help me...”
“Okay. Hold on, Estelle.”
Rebecca rummaged through Estelle’s bag for a while and finally found the bottle of painkillers. 
Then she quickly poured out a pill and fed Estelle in a hurry. “Estelle, open your mouth.”
Estelle opened her mouth and then swallowed the pill immediately.
“Estelle, you look painful. Let’s go to the hospital,” Rebecca said anxiously.
“No, no...” Estelle grabbed her hand and said. “Don’t worry. I’ll be fine after resting.”
“But you look pale now...” Rebecca grabbed her, looking so anxious.
Estelle shook her head, closed her eyes, and leaned against the wall, waiting quietly for the pill to take effect.
She had a bad feeling.
