Love Me Or Leave Me

CHAPTER 60

Theodore left, and following his lead, some other guests began to take their leave. In no time, the number of attendees at the banquet had dwindled significantly.

Patrick remained his cheerful self until he saw off the last VIP

Back at home that evening, Debra’s face turned stern as she muttered angrily, “Theodore is becoming more disgusting by the day. Becky must divorce him!”

Divorce was definitely on the table, but Theodore was adamant about retaining custody of the child and keeping the kid’s surname. Without his consent, they were at an impasse, so Debra was furious about the situation.

Patrick smiled reassuringly at his wife, “Don’t worry, take it slow. If he’s reluctant to divorce and wants to drag it out, then we’ll drag it out with him. We’re not going to be the ones feeling bothered in the end.”

“What do you mean?” Debra frowned, displeased with her husband’s insinuations.

Patrick looked at his wife, then at his daughter, before smiling and saying, “How many years did that scumbag

torment Becky in the past?”

“Becky has taken care of him for so long, and what does he do? He wakes up and gets involved with other women, sleeping around with them! Isn’t Janet pregnant with his kid? I heard she gave birth around the same time Becky did, yet, did he feel any remorse? Does he realize he’s wronged Becky by doing that?”

Debra knew Patrick well, and at his words, she sensed mischief brewing. Her eyes lit up with anticipation as she probed, “What do you have in mind?” Patrick chuckled at her curiosity.

“We’ll take a page from his book. Why else would I have bought a house next to his?”

Rebecca grew nervous at her father’s words and couldn’t help but ask, “Dad… do you have a plan?”

Patrick looked at Rebecca, his eyes filled with affection, and he nodded. “Yes.”

Seeing the curiosity in both their eyes, Patrick smiled and explained, “Becky, I want to ask you something. Has Theodore always thought it was okay to flirt and get close to other women without caring if it hurts you? Since that’s the case, we move in right next to him and make him watch you get close to other ‘men‘ right under his nose. I wonder if he can stand watching it.”

His plan rendered both Rebecca and Debra speechless.

“Wait, honey, what do you mean? I don’t quite understand. We live here, so how is it the same as Becky getting close to other ‘men‘ in Theodore’s eyes?”

Debra was completely lost, and she pursued with confusion.

Paul took a sip of water, amazed by Patrick’s schemel

Unable to resist, Paul chimed in to help Patrick explain, “Debra, think about it. Isn’t Theodore misunderstanding Becky’s relationship with Chuck?”

Debra asked in confusion, “Yeah, so what?”

Debra quickly pieced it together. The ‘man‘ her husband mentioned earlier must be Chuck.

“But when we bought the house, Theodore didn’t have any misunderstandings about them, right?” Debra couldn’t help but ask.

Paul chuckled, “That’s right. But isn’t it just a matter of time because he does?”

He glanced at Rebecca, who looked utterly lost, thinking that his niece was as innocent as her mother.

“Chuck doesn’t know his boundaries. After we found Becky, he started showering her with affection without restraint, but outsiders don’t know that Chuck and Becky are actually siblings. As adults and Chuck suddenly being so kind to Becky, it’s only natural for others to misunderstand them?”

Debra’s eyes widened as she turned to her husband. “So you already foresaw Theodore misunderstanding Becky and Chuck’s relationship, deliberately buying the house next to Theodore’s, waiting for him to jump to conclusions. about Becky and Chuck, just to infuriate him?”

Patrick and Paul exchanged a knowing look, both sporting cunning smiles. When it came to dealing with men, indeed, their own kind knew the best method.

Becky getting the divorce license meant her liberation was assured.

But letting everything end there would be letting Theodore off too easily.

With Becky now under their protection, it was impossible for Theodore to make her suffer even a bit more!

So now, it was time for them to strike back. Whether in business or personal matters, every bit that Theodore owed Becky, they would reclaim it, down to the last penny.

Theodore finding a mistress, flirting with Janet in front of Becky, getting Janet pregnant, making Becky suffer for so long – now they could live next door to Theodore for however long they wanted, maybe even longer, and make Theodore feel the same torment Becky once did.

“Will this really work? Would that scumbag even care?” Debra seemed to understand, yet also seemed confused about the situation. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Paul chuckled, “Why wouldn’t it work? Hasn’t Theodore been on the brink of losing it these past few days?”

“Didn’t you find Theodore’s expression at the banquet amusing?” Paul smirked.

“No man can feel comfortable knowing his wife is being flirtatious with another man, even if he doesn’t love her,” Patrick interjected.

Debra fell silent.

Rebecca was stunned. She hadn’t realized her dad was so clever, planning so much when she didn’t even know, all

for her.

“But…isn’t it a bit wrong for him to misunderstand my relationship with Charlie?” Rebecca voiced her unease.

Patrick chuckled, “Don’t worry. You and Chuck are siblings by blood, so nothing will happen. We’ll make Theodore uncomfortable for a while. Once we have the divorce license in hand and the truth about you and Chuck comes

out, all misunderstandings will be cleared up. Then, Theodore will be the only clown left standing.”

Rebecca fell silent. That was indeed quite a sinister plan.

“Making Theodore uncomfortable is one thing, but Becky needs to hurry up and divorce him. Getting rid of that scumbag is the most important thing,” Debra interjected calmly, her tone serious.

“Of course,” Patrick nodded.

Revenge might be important, but nothing outweighed his precious daughter’s future happiness. As long as Becky was tied to Theodore, it would never be a good thing. If divorce was possible, they had to seize the opportunity.

Patrick thought for a moment before speaking again. “Michael and Helen are currently dreaming of Theodore marrying the lady from the Smith family. We should find a way through them. It shouldn’t be too difficult”

Debra looked at her husband. “Then you better come up with a plan to get Becky the divorce license as soon as possible.”

“Got it.” Patrick nodded in agreement.

Rebecca’s emotions were complex, yet she was deeply moved.
