Chapter 131
The Edwards family found themselves in a very awkwa
situation.
Michael had always felt that Rebecca belonged to the Edwards family, believing that a few bunches of flowers from Theodore could easily bring her back, so he never paid much attention to Rebecca and Theodore’s divorce.
Over the past few months, Michael had been boasting to his friends that Becky, whose real name was Rebecca, was his daughter–in–law and had given birth to a pair of twins.
Many people believed Michael, and they sought to please him, actively cooperating with the Edwards family, leading to the signing of several contracts and the Edwards family gaining numerous benefits.
However, only a few keen observers noticed that after Charlie publicly acknowledged Becky online, the Carter family did not become closer to the Edwards family. In fact, the head of the Carter family, Patrick, was discreetly taking actions against the Edwards family. Thus, they remained aloof from Michael’s boasts about Becky being his daughter–in–law.
Of course, Michael was dismissive of those who maintained a cautious attitude. He firmly believed that Theodore and Rebecca were only temporarily separated. After all, not long ago, it was through special means that he had pressured Theodore into agreeing to the divorce. Theodore and Rebecca were originally a loving couple.

Now he strongly supported their reunion. He thought that with no impediments between Theodore and Rebecca; it was only natural for them to be together. Currently, Rebecca might harbor some
resentment due to the divorce. However, Michael was certain that once some time passed and Rebecca’s heart softened, Theodore would quickly win her back.
Most importantly, Rebecca had already had two children with Theodore. Michael believed that, considering the kids, Rebecca would definitely return.
Understanding Rebecca’s character, he was convinced that she wouldn’t be so cruel as to deprive her children of their father.
After reuniting with their precious daughter, the Carter family prepared a reunion banquet.

clans who usually only had business dealings with them. However, the Mitchell family and the Edwards family did not receive anything. They even learned about the Carter family’s reunion banquet from other business acquaintances, which seemed absurd, even embarrassing.
The Mitchell family didn’t dare to let others know that the Carter family hadn’t. sent them an invitation.
Michael’s expression soured as he pondered his son and his daughter–in–law’s petty disagreements. He was dissatisfied that they let emotions cloud such a crucial matter. With such an important banquet approaching, the Edwards family didn’t receive an invitation, leading Michael to worry that people might look down on the Edwards family in the future.
Michael, feeling unsettled, quickly called Theodore upon returning home, inquiring about the invitation. Though Theodore was irritated seeing Michael’s call, he managed to compose himself and answer the phone.
“Dad,” Theodore said, restraining his temper.
Hearing his son’s voice, Michael didn’t soften his tone. Annoyed, he said, “Theodore, I’ve heard that the Carter family is preparing a reunion banquet for Rebecca. Why haven’t they sent us an invitation?”
“You two quarreling at home occasionally is okay, but you must distinguish between major issues. If the Carter family doesn’t send us an invitation, others are sure to suspect discord between our families, Michael complained, his tone even carrying a hint of blame on Rebecca for being immature.
Theodore, taken aback, learned about the Carter family’s plans to host a reunion banquet for Rebecca through this conversation. The Edwards family had to attend. this event. Theodore, contemplating, simply replied, “Okay.”
Impatiently, Michael urged, “Remind her. Women can be a bit temperamental, but she mustn’t push the boundaries too far, Maintain some dignity…”
His reprimands flowed out naturally, and midway, Michael realized that the Mitchell family was no longer Rebecca’s sole support. Her true family was the Carter family, a more influential one than the Edwards family.
Quick to correct himself, Michael added, “Forget it. Don’t upset her. Remember, women tend to be more assertive if they are from powerful families: Come up with a plan, appease her, and make sure that invitation arrives promptly. We can’t

Theodore felt a sense of dismay about Rebecca completely ignoring him recently. However, he understood the importance of the invitation and agreed, “Alright.”
“By the way, have you sorted things out with Jenny? Keep her happy, and don’t offend the Smith family,” Michael, at the end of the call, couldn’t help but give his son some advice.
Theodore nodded in response. “Don’t worry; it’s settled.”
Having explained everything to Jenny, even though she was disappointed, she behaved herself and acted very considerate, saying that she could understand Theodore’s feelings.
Thinking of Jenny, Theodore suddenly thought of Rebecca. He found himself comparing Rebecca and Jenny, and then he smiled bitterly.
He couldn’t help but wonder why Rebecca couldn’t be as understanding and considerate as Jenny. After all, he had already clarified things, addressing past misunderstandings. Theodore was puzzled as to why Rebecca still harbored grudges, even after his apologies.
The sound of knocking came from behind. Theodore turned to look at the door, pondered for a moment, and then opened it.
Jenny stood in the doorway, looking at him happily. “Theodore, are you free tonight? I want to go outside for sightseeing!”
“It’s my first time in Aotori, and I haven’t seen Aotori at night. I’ve only seen it on TV before, and it looks so beautiful at night!” Jenny expressed her excitement, her eyes sparkling.
“I…” Theodore hesitated.
Jenny grabbed his hand and started walking towards the door. She said, “Let’s go. Let’s go outside and unwind. Maybe you’ll feel better after a walk.”
In the end, Theodore didn’t refuse her. He closed the door and left the hotel with Jenny.
Meanwhile, after much deliberation, Gary finally picked up his phone and dialed Rebecca’s number.

Gary was well aware of the strained relationship between Rebecca and him, but this time, he couldn’t resist trying his luck. The allure of the Carter family was too strong. If the Mitchell family could establish a connection with them, even if they were just slightly supported by the Carter family, it could elevate their future. prospects.
At the Aotori shooting base, Stacey’s phone suddenly rang. Looking at the caller ID, she was surprised to see it was Gary. After much hesitation, Stacey finally swiped the screen gently and answered the call.
