Love Me Or Leave Me

CHAPTER 68

Charlie was the lead and had many scenes left to shoot, so he couldn’t leave the set just yet.

But Rebecca didn’t leave right away, either, Opportunities to learn up close like this were rare, and she didn’t want to miss out on su

a great learning experience.

Charlie was naturally happy to have his sister sticking around, so he was glad to let her stay. Whenever he had free time, he would explain the scenes to her and teach her how to play her role well.

Rebecca stayed with the crew for another week.

A week later, an invitation to a birthday party made her leave the crew with her baby.

The party was hosted by her aunt, Cynthia, or rather, her aunt from the Mitchell family.

She had been adopted by the Mitchell family from a young age. Though her adoptive parents treated her poorly, Cynthia had always been kind to her.

When Janet bullied her as a child, it was Cynthia who stood up for her.

At age seven, Janet tricked her into going on a picnic and had the driver take them to the outskirts.

But when they got outside, Janet took advantage of her playing and left with the driver, leaving, her alone in the wilderness.

That was the scariest experience of Rebecca’s life. As a child, she kept running back along the road. She was terrified and cried as she ran. Finally, she was found by villagers in the countryside.

The villagers took her to the police station, where the officers understood the situation, and then took her back home.

Due to this incident, when the police brought her back to Mitchell Villa, they sternly criticized her adoptive parents and gave them a lecture.

However, this didn’t make them realize their mistakes. On the contrary, after the police left, they grew to dislike Rebecca even more..

Every time Rebecca ate, Janet would deliberately knock over her plate, forbidding her from eating.

Janet said that the food belonged to the Mitchell family and that Rebecca, being an outsider, wasn’t allowed to eat

It.

Rebecca felt deeply wronged and helpless at that time. She was

Chap 68

It wasn’t until Cynthia came to visit them and discovered Rebecca was being bullied.

Cynthia didn’t argue with them. Instead, under the pretense of a family visit, she invited Rebecca to stay over.

Although Rebecca was scared then, she saw the kindness in Cynthia’s eyes and was magically moved to accept the

invitation.

Her adoptive parents had long despised her. Since Cynthia was happy to take her in, they were relieved to see her

Thus, Rebecca was temporarily taken away from the Mitchell family. She lived with Cynthia for three years, the happiest years of her childhood.

She still remembered that when she lived with Cynthia, Cynthia would buy her beautiful clothes every year, cook delicious meals for her, and sometimes take her out to play and buy her snacks.

Most importantly, Cynthia would help her with her homework every day after school.

She always said that education could change one’s destiny.

Rebecca studied hard afterward, remembering Cynthia’s words that education could change one’s destiny.

But this period of good fortune came to an end when Cynthia’s husband, Ken, had an affair.

When she was in fourth grade, Cynthia discovered that Ken was having an affair. Cynthia was devastated, and the household was filled with constant arguments, sometimes even physical fights.

Once, when Cynthia threw a chair at Ken, it accidentally hit her, causing her forehead to bleed profusely.

That incident terrified Cynthia.

At the hospital, after the doctor bandaged her up, Cynthia cried secretly for a long time.

Soon after, she was sent back to Mitchell Villa.

Rebecca actually wanted to stay sho

Cynthia if Ken ever hit her.

wasn’t afraid of Cynthia and Ken fighting, and she thought she could help

But Cynthia didn’t want her to stay, so she was forcibly sent back to the Mitchells.

After that, Cynthia seemed to stop fighting with Ken altogether. No matter who or how many women Ken saw or how long he spent with them, Cynthia stopped caring.

She seemed exhausted and withdrawn, no longer interacting with

The loving, cheerful aunt she remembered gradually became a quiet, somewhat depressed woman.

Cynthia looked much older.

When the Mitchell family forced her to marry Theodore, a man in a vegetative state, Cynthia was the only one who stood up against it.

But Rebecca agreed to the marriage.

She asked the Mitchell family for forty thousand dollars and gave it to Cynthia for surgery.

Cynthia was ill with aneurysm, and the operation cost forty thousand dollars.

She had married down. In her youth, she fell in love with and married Ken despite her parents‘ objections.

Ken had been poor but capable, and Cynthia believed in his potential to change their lives.

Eventually, Ken did make money and became a well–known entrepreneur.

However, after becoming successful, he fell for younger, prettier women, and Cynthia, now in her forties, became an eyesore to him..

Despite earning money, Ken was unwilling to spend it on Cynthia. Her daily expenses came from running her own flower shop.

Rebecca found out about Cynthia’s illness by accident.

She secretly consulted a doctor, who told her the surgery would cost around forty thousand dollars.

Cynthia had always been proud and refused to ask Ken for money or even consider spending his money.

It seemed Cynthia also had no intention of borrowing from the Mitchell family. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Rebecca sensed that Cynthia had lost the will to live.

But she didn’t want her to die. Cynthia was such a good person and deserved to live a good life.

So, she agreed to her adoptive parents‘ demand to marry Theodore. In return, the Mitchells had to give her forty thousand dollar

The Edwards family gave the Mitchells an engagement gift of one million dollars and significant business support. While this marriage brought the Mitchell family numerous benefits, she only requested forty thousand dollars,

considering the rest as repayment for raising her all these y

Rebecca took the money and secretly handed it to Cynthia for her surgery.

At that time, she didn’t know if Cynthia would actually go through the surgery, but she hoped that Cynthia would live and even live well because only by living could there be hope.

Cynthia was shocked and touched when she received the

money.

That night, she cried.

She clung to Rebecca, sobbing like a child.

Cynthia promised that she would no longer be despondent. She would get the surgery, live on, and live better than Ken, making him regret everything.

Rebecca held her and promised her, saying, “Okay.”

She would wait for the day when her aunt would live a better life, making Ken regret his actions.
