Just then, Rebecca received a text from an unknown number. “Rebecca, you’re so heartless, sending your own father to the police.”
Rebecca glanced at it, instantly guessing the sender was Katherine.
Only Katherine would speak to her in that tone.
Katherine was like a ghost she just couldn't shake.
Rebecca replied bluntly: “Katherine, if I can put Gordon away, I can do the same to you. If you mess with me again, I’ll make sure you go back to prison, and this time, you’ll never get out.”
After she sent it, the other end went silent.
When Katherine saw the reply, she was furious.
“Aaargh, Rebecca!!!”
Katherine complained to Hogan and Jane, “Mom, Dad, look at her! With Dylan backing her, she’s become unbearably arrogant.”
Hogan and Jane had already seen Rebecca's message.
They were both consumed by hatred. The Foster family had fallen to this state, and it was all Rebecca’s fault.
They despised Rebecca, blaming her for everything.
Jane said anxiously, “Honey, didn't you say you had a way to rebuild the Foster family? We’re in Wye now, can you tell us?”
Hogan remained composed. “Don't worry. When I say I have a way, I mean it. I won't let you and Katherine suffer with me.”
Hogan said smugly, “This is my last resort. I wouldn't bring it out unless it was absolutely necessary.”
Jane was just as thrilled. “Honey, is this real? Who was that person? Anyone who owns such a valuable pendant must be very powerful, right?”
“Look, on the back, it’s engraved with the name ‘Thomson’.”
“What does Thomson mean?” Jane asked.
“The Thomson family is an old-money family in Wye with a century-old legacy. They say the Thomsons keep a low profile but are incredibly wealthy.”
Hogan pointed at the pendant and smiled mysteriously. “He’s a very powerful man in Wye. You don't need to know who exactly, not yet. As long as we take this pendant to him, he will definitely help us deal with Rebecca and restore the Foster family to its former glory.”
