Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 951

"No, nothing..."

Rebecca White hurriedly shook her head, eager to escape the tension-filled atmosphere.

But her backpack was still upstairs.

"Mr. Johnson, could you perhaps ask one of the staff to fetch my bag for me?"

What now?

Francis's expression grew even colder as he grasped her wrist, "What happened? Explain..."

"I..."

"It was me who asked her to leave!"

From the living room, Sylvia emerged.

Seeing their hands intertwined, her anger surged.

Glaring at Rebecca White, she snapped, "What are you doing? Let go of him this instant!"

Startled, Rebecca White quickly released Francis's hand as if she'd been shocked.

"Rebecca?"

Francis tightened his grip on her hand again, turning to Sylvia, "Grandma..."

"Rebecca?" Sylvia repeated, her tone dripping with disdain.

Sylvia's gaze sharpened, and she massaged her stiff neck, "How could you be so blind? What sort of woman do you want that you can't have? Why set your sights on a married one?"

Francis stiffened, realization dawning.

He had been hiding it from her, dreading this exact moment.

He had been waiting, waiting for Rebecca White to finalize her divorce... before coming clean to his grandmother.

"Grandma."

At this point, Francis had no choice but to bite the bullet and explain, "Rebecca is already in the process of getting a divorce, she..."

"What?"

But his explanation did nothing to soothe Sylvia's fury; in fact, it only aggravated her further.

"Francis!"

Sylvia, nearly roaring with rage, pointed accusingly at Rebecca White, "Is she the only woman left in the world for you? You're willing to wait for her to get divorced? The CEO of the Johnson Group, stooping low to be the other man for a woman who's cheating on her husband?!"

"Grandma!"
