Chapter 71

Madeleine picked it up, planning to ask Roy Velez to hand it to

Roderick.

But as soon as she picked up the phone, Madeleine discovered

it had unlocked!

Her face could actually unlock Roderick’s phone!

?

So does this mean she’s looked at Roderick’s phone before?

Madeleine’s mouth fell slightly open in shock, and she

inadvertently glanced at the phone.

The chiming just now was from Facebook messages sent by

the same person, saved under the name Rebecca Whitman.

Madeleine searched her memory. The name was unfamiliar.

She didn’t look to see what this Rebecca had sent.

It was Roderick’s privacy, and she wouldn’t look.

But in the last moment before the screen went dark, she still

noticed the message from that Rebecca.

[Sweetie, am I not the one you trust the most?]

Clang.

Madeleine’s hand wasn’t steady, and Roderick’s phone

slammed onto the table.

Her eyelid twitched violently twice.

Sweetie?

This Rebecca person called Roderick “sweetie“?

That intimate?

That brazen?

Not even trying to hide it!

Even though their marriage was most likely a strategic

marriage, the kind with no feelings involved.

But they couldn’t really just do their own thing, could they? They

have a child.

Besides, if that’s the case, what was that kiss last night…

Madeleine felt like a heavy stone was crushing her chest,

making it hard to breathe, and her face looked absolutely awful.

“Mommy, what’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?”

“No.”

Madeleine shook her head, just in time to see Roderick

approaching after finishing his work call, and her face darkened

again.

“If you don’t like the breakfast, I’ll have Kirsten make something

else. What do you want to eat?”

“I don’t want anything.”

Madeleine mumbled, grabbing the peeled egg from the table

and stuffing it into her mouth.

Just then, Rebecca called. Madeleine got so excited she

swallowed the egg whole, nearly choking to death, and quickly

got up to find water in the kitchen.

Roderick saw something was off with her, but he couldn’t quite

put his finger on it.

He picked up the phone to answer. On the other end, Rebecca

was faking a northern accent, “Well, my goodness, what took

you so long to answer?”

Roderick: …

Rebecca had been obsessed with a northern comedy lately, and

“my goodness” had become her catchphrase.

“Talk to me in that dead voice again and I’ll kill you.”

“Oh?”

Rebecca chuckled on the other end of the line. “Mr. Livingston,

your tone sounds a bit off. Why do you sound so secretly

pleased? What, did you wake up and realize you’re not wearing

such a big pair of horns after all?”

“Rebecca!”

“Alright, alright, I’ll stop. Such a tough guy, but with a fragile ego.

I won’t step on your pride, okay?”

Rebecca held back her laughter, knowing there was a limit to

joking around.

She was close with Roderick, so she could get away with

teasing him more than others, but that didn’t mean she could

say just anything.

Like Madeleine, for example, whom he’d protect with his life. As

much as Rebecca couldn’t stand her, she didn’t dare make a

move against her.

What could she do? The man was just too fiercely protective of

his own.

She dropped the smile and said, “Gerry told me you’re

investigating Isabela. Why the sudden interest in Origin Real

Real Estate?”

After she spoke, Rebecca noticed there was no response from

the other side and glanced at her phone, puzzled.

“Roderick?

Are you listen-”

“Rebecca.”

Roderick’s voice was a little low. “I consider you a friend, but

that doesn’t mean you can meddle in my private affairs.”

Roderick trusted Gerry to be discreet; the information shouldn’t
