Chapter 1047 Did You Report On Rebecca
I smiled. “Since you have recommended it, I will definitely try it. Ms. Harrett, you seem to be very familiar with this
restaurant."
She replied with a smile, “Not really, but I've been here a few' times. So, I remember the ones that I like and always
recommend them to friends that come here.”
Surprisingly, Zelene was nothing like Rebecca. With Joe's personality, I thought he would find someone similar to
his ex-crush, but Zelene and Rebecca were like chalk and cheese.
After chattering for a bit, I stood up from my seat and headed to the restroom. When Ashton saw me leaving, he
quickly stopped his conversation with Joe and wanted to accompany me, but I declined as I did not want to
interrupt them.
A few minutes later, I stepped out of the restroom and bumped into Joe. w'ho was leaning against the wall of the
corridor. I thought he was waiting for someone, but I looked around and saw' no one. Hmm, who is he waiting for?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter hesitating for a moment, I walked towards him and asked out of politeness, “Are you waiting for
Ms. Harrett?" He lifted his gaze and looked at me coldly. “I'm waiting for you.”
I furrowed my brow's, puzzled. “Why?” I don't think we have anything to talk about. Joe had never liked
me. All these years we rarely interacted with one another even though he was my husband's close
friend.
“Can I help you with anything?” I asked, stopping in my tracks.
He arched an eyebrow' and cut to the chase. “Can we talk somewhere else?"
I don't think I have a choice, do I? So, I nodded and gestured. “Sure.”
As we arrived at the stairwell, he put his hands in his pockets and leaned his tall figure against the wall,
giving off an aura of grimness. I remained silent and stared at him, waiting for him to speak first.
After a pause, he lit a cigarette and took a long drag on it. “Were you the one who reported Rebecca to
the police?”
I frowmed. Gosh, is he here for Rebecca? I thought he had moved on! Apparently, he still cares about
her.
“I found her by accident, so I called the police,” I told him truthfully. That night, Hannah and I went to
the alley out of curiosity. I never thought Rebecca would be like that.
He exhaled slowly and cast an icy gaze at me. “Ashton has given his heart to you. What else do you want from
her? Why do you have to push her over the edge? You just want her to die, don't you?"
Hearing his accusation, I was stupefied. I could not help but ask, “Mr. Quinn, don't you think there's something
wrong with your logic? She was the one who committed the crime. I did not force her to do it. And I have never
harmed her. That night, I saw her purely by chance. I called the police because she was doing something terribly
wrong. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Are you chance. I called the police because she was doing
something terribly wrong. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Are you expecting me to ignore what I saw
and let her continue to ruin herself?"
He scoffed, “It's up to her to decide what to do with her life. Besides, you could have solved the problem in another
way, but you chose the one that made her suffer the most. You caused Ashton to completely give up on her and

I blinked in bewilderment. What? Is there something wrong with him? What does he mean by "you can solve it in
another way?” Exasperated, I said, “So, you think that it was my plan to get her arrested so that Ashton w'ould give
up on her? Joe Quinn, you're freaking ridiculous! What makes you think that I would use my precious time to do
something that would bring me no benefits but harm?” Then, I continued, “To be honest, I don't care about
Rebecca at all; she isn't worth my attention. She's nothing but a woman who only knows how to cling onto men
and leech off them. She could have improved herself over the years, but she didn't. Even if Ashton likes her, I don't
think any man could put up with a woman like her for long. What kind of man could tolerate her and love her
forever? Speaking of which, Joe. didn't you give up on her as well? What makes you think that you have the right
to question me?”
Taken aback, he stubbed out his cigarette and stared at me blankly. After a long while, he replied coldly, “Don't
change the topic. It's your fault. You didn't have to send her to the police, but you showed no mercy and did it
anyway. Her reputation and her life are ruined because of you. Even if she could get out of jail one day, how' can
she survive in society? Scarlett, you're such a cruel woman.” “Hahaha!” I couldn't help but burst out laughing at his
preposterous reasoning. How' ridiculous can he get?
