Glancing at the number displayed on her phone screen, Rebecca Quentin's body stiffened. She hesitated between answering and ignoring the call.
"Is that Mr. Geoffrey calling?" Aunt Clare asked. She had already seen the number displayed on Rebecca's phone screen.
To avoid Aunt Clare's suspicion, Rebecca forced a sweet smile. "Yes."
"Then answer it quickly. Having Mr. Geoffrey's help would be best."
Aunt Clare had originally thought Howard Geoffrey wouldn't help Rebecca, considering the plaintiff was the woman Howard cherished most. But after seeing Rebecca successfully get his help last time, Aunt Clare didn't try to stop her this time.
"Um, okay." Under Aunt Clare's expectant gaze, Rebecca answered the call she least wanted to receive in her life. "Hello..."
Howard Geoffrey's cold voice came from the phone. "Where are you?"
Her heart felt like ice, but she managed a smile and feigned a coquettish tone. "I'm out having dinner with Aunt Clare!"
