Stacey was now a star, adored by fans who flocked to her official account. Every post she shared received immediate attention and countless likes from her followers. Becky’s family, friends, and even Theodore and Jenny were among them. Though most people did not know what had happened to Becky, they could sense her happiness through her posts and left comments wishing Becky joy and a better life.

Meanwhile, Theodore felt a deep sense of misery as he thought to himself, Stacey’s happiness means leaving me and starting over for a better life, doesn’t it? They had been so close once, and Rebecca had truly loved him.

However, a knock on the office door interrupted his thoughts. Theodore looked up to see Jude standing there, and he quickly entered, reporting. “Mr. Edwards, Wyatt has been found!

The pen in Theodore’s hand froze in mid–twist. He stood up abruptly, his expression darkening as he demanded. “Where is he?” Theodore nearly clenched his teeth. If he had not trusted Wyatt so much back then, and if Wyatt had not betrayed him. things with Rebecca would not have ended like that.

“Brighton City, Jude replied.

Theodore sneered and commanded, “Cancel all my appointments. Get me a ticket now. I need to see Wyatt immediately.”

“Okay,” Jude said, understanding the urgency. He was very efficient and quickly booked the earliest flight for Theodore, which departed in an hour. So they had only one hour to wait before they departed. While they waited, Theodore efficiently completed his most urgent tasks. Finally, they rushed to the airport, Jude accompanying him. After a two–hour flight, they arrived in Brighton City.

“Where is he?” Theodore asked impatiently as they exited the terminal.

Jude replied promptly, “He opened a small game studio called Prosperous Studio. It is located in the Brighton City New District. We should find him there.”

“All right, let’s go,” Theodore said, nodding decisively. Jude then hailed a cab, and they headed straight for the studio. When they arrived, Jude knocked on the door, and an employee answered, looking slightly puzzled by the unexpected visitors.

“Who are you looking for?” asked the Prosperous Studio employee.

Jude smiled politely and said, “Is Mr. Shatner here? Our boss wants to see him.”

“Yes, he is inside, the employee replied immediately upon hearing that they were looking for Wyatt. He led them into the did studio. Prosperous Studio was relatively small. Only about seven or eight people were in the studio, and the company not even have a single private office. Wyatt and all the other employees worked at desks in the main hall

Wyatt was engrossed in his work and did not notice the visitors. Theodore approached Wyatt’s desk with a determined. stride. Theodore’s demeanor was extremely somber upon seeing his former good friend after more than a year apart, a storm of emotions brewing beneath his calm exterior.

“Mr. Shatner, someone is here to see you, the employee said cautiously, standing beside Wyatt, who looked up in confusion and suddenly froze when he saw Theodore standing there. He stood abruptly, his face turning pale.

Without a word, Theodore punched Wyatt hard.

“Hey the employee yelled, startled by the sudden violence. Wyatt did not fight back, silently taking the blows. The commotion quickly drew everyone’s attention in the Prosperous Studio. Realizing the urgency of the situation, someone rushed to pull Theodore away. They could not allow Wyatt to be beaten to death in the office, or they would all lose their jobs.

“Stay out of this Wyatt shouted coldly, shoveling his employees aside. His voice was laced with anger and sorrow.

The employees of Prosperous Studio stood confused and shocked, unsure of how to react. Theodore’s eyes were red with rage, his anger consuming him. He punched Wyatt again and again, each blow a release of his pent–up frustration and betrayal. Then, still unsatisfied, he picked up a chair and swung at Wyatt.

Wyatt’s assistant, who had been watching the scene with increasing horror, finally could take it no longer. She rushed out, grabbed the chair from Theodore’s hands, and pulled it aside, preventing it from hitting Wyatt. “That’s enough! If you kill him, will you take responsibility?” Emily Young yelled as she stood in front of Wyatt, glaring unhappily at Theodore and scolding him with fierce protectiveness.

The office fell silent, the tension heavy in the air. Wyatt stared blankly at the girl standing before him. He quickly pulled Emily aside when he realized what was happening. “This is not your problem, stay out of it!” he ordered, trying to protect her from the fallout. His hand trembled as he pulled Emily away. He was panicked, afraid Theodore would strike again and hurt the innocent girl who had bravely shielded him. But Theodore could not hold back and kicked Wyatt hard once more.

“Hey! Enough already!” Emily yelled angrily.

Wyatt took a deep breath and then looked at Theodore, saying, “Let’s talk outside.”

Theodore stared at Wyatt, clearly unhappy, but finally relented. They left the studio. Emily was worried but obeyed Wyatt’s orders to stay in the office and not follow them.

In a private–room on the cafe’s second floor across the street, They were silent for a long time before Wyatt spoke. “I didn’t mean to betray you, but… Janet deliberately sent someone to seduce my sister and set her up. My sister was in love. Not only did she scrimp and save for that guy, giving him all her allowance from home, but she also took out an unsecured loan online. Wyatt looked at Theodore and continued, “Janet had my sister’s nudes and blackmailed me, telling me to deceive you as she instructed, or she would post the photos online.”

Theodore glared at Wyatt. The latter smiled bitterly and said, “Theodore, I’ve tried my best. I’ve reminded you to trust Rebecca and her character, but you never trusted my words.”

Theodore was silent for a long time before finally asking. “The first time Rebecca and I went to the courthouse to file for divorce, was it you who had someone call my grandma?”

Wyatt fell silent at the question. After a long pause, he nodded and replied, “Yes.”

“You son of a…” Theodore began to curse, but the words caught in his throat, leaving him unsure how to continue. He stayed silent for a while, finally muttering, “Rebecca and I are divorced She… doesn’t want me anymore.” Theodore’s voice was slightly choked with emotion, his eyes reddening as he said, “I’ve been to see her many times, but she refuses to see me. Wyatt, I feel like… Rebecca is not just playing hard to get. She truly doesn’t want me anymore.”

Wyatt was shocked, not because Rebecca had divorced Theodore or rejected him, but because of Theodore’s current attitude. He thought, “Is Theodore truly hurt? Has he really fallen in love with Rebecca?”
