Kenny, Caroline, and Tommy looked at Nora in disbelief. “Nora, it really was you…”
At the same time, Theodore appeared on the big screen. He entered the room I was in and patted my head in relief. “I thought you were really going to fall for her trick. Looks like you’re not that stupid after
all.”
I said confidently, “I’m a little slow and can be a bit oblivious, but I’m not stupid.”
He smiled. “So, you do know you’re oblivious, huh?”
When he turned around, all the gentleness vanished from his face. He looked coldly into the hidden camera and said, “Nora Lane, Susan Summers, since you dared to lay a hand on my fiancee, I believe you are ready to become an enemy of my family and me.”
Bodyguards wearing full black surged out and surrounded the two of them.
Nora’s face turned pale and she looked to my family for help. They turned away in disappointment, not wanting to look at her again. Susan’s legs gave out as she collapsed to the floor. She had only wanted to drive me away because she was jealous.
Nora had come to her and said their goals were the same. So, she had agreed to work with her. If this caused the partnership between their families to fall apart, her father would not spare her either.
When they saw me come downstairs, the two of them rushed over in a panic to apologize.
Nora stood before me and said, “Rebecca, I know I was making a really big mistake now. I really recognized it now. Aren’t we sisters? Please forgive me one more time, okay?”
Susan also said, “I admit I’m jealous of you. I’ll never bother you and Theo again. Can you ask him to show some mercy?!”
Seeing me seriously consider it, Theodore grew a little worried that I might actually agree. After all, even he could not understand how my mind worked.
But fortunately, I did not disappoint him this time as I shook my head at them. “You aren’t truly sorry. You’re just scared of Theodore’s retribution. You’re only worried about yourselves. My obliviousness is just a way to protect myself. But now that I know you wanted to hurt me, I won’t let this be.”
Only then did I understand why I had become so oblivious.
Back at the orphanage, many adults had said we were children who had been abandoned. There had been plenty of bullying among the children too.
Maybe from that time on, I had subconsciously made myself stop caring about anything to protect myself from the outside world. I subconsciously ignored every injury because I was afraid of the pain.
But now, I had a family, and I had people who loved me too. I no longer needed to protect myself that
way.
Seeing the resolve on my face, Nora and Susan closed their mouths in despair.
After that, Theodore interrogated Nora, and she gave up the elite hacker who had broken into his estate’s system back then. Theodore gave that person two choices. Go against the Jensen family or work for him.
The hacker chose the latter without hesitation.
As for Nora herself, my family gave up on her. They cut her off and kicked her out with nothing.
Theodore also made it clear that any company that dared to hire Nora, even a small one, would be going against his family. She could not find a proper job, and she was terrible at physical work too, so no shops wanted to hire her.
Soon, she ended up on the streets and could only survive by digging through trash.
Meanwhile, due to how Susan had caused a disaster for her family, her father soon sent her overseas and ordered her never to come back.
Not long after, Theodore and I were officially engaged.
On an ordinary Sunday, I received an offer for a movie role. I excitedly showed it to Theodore. “I got a role!
Theodore smiled indulgently as he turned and sent a message on his phone: [Put another five million dollars into the movie production.]
