In the past, Frank Parker would not have let her keep drinking.
But just now... he actually didn’t stop her.
Women are usually sensitive, and Rebecca Kelloway quickly noticed something seemed off with Frank Parker today.
Frank Parker looked at her deeply, shook his head: "I’m not angry."
"Rebecca, let’s talk."
Frank Parker sat down beside her, crossing his long legs: "I think we need to have a good talk."
Rebecca was stunned: "Talk? What do you want to talk to me about?"
"About something that happened a long time ago."
Rebecca hesitated, and her heart suddenly accelerated.
She looked into Frank Parker’s narrow phoenix eyes, and for some reason, she suddenly felt a sense of panic.
This feeling also occurred a few days ago when he asked her if she had ever lied to him.
She took a deep breath, trying her best to remain calm.
"Something that happened a long time ago?" She raised her eyebrows with curiosity, "What do you want to say exactly? Why do I feel like you’re acting weird today."
"Am I weird?" Frank Parker smiled, "Maybe. I think we should stop beating around the bush, Rebecca. What I want to talk about is something that happened ten years ago. Perhaps by now, you should know what I want to discuss."
Rebecca’s eyes widened in shock as she looked at him.
Frank Parker stared at her, calmly saying: "Back then, at my birthday party, I fell into the water and was saved by someone. The person who saved me wasn’t actually you, was it?"
"What... what are you talking about?"
With a "snap," the wine glass in Rebecca’s hand fell to the ground.
The crystal glass shattered the moment it hit the ground, making a crisp sound.
Watching her reaction, Frank Parker’s last hope was completely gone.
She had indeed lied to him.
She had fooled him, treating him like an idiot for a whole ten years.
But why did she do it?
She obviously didn’t like him and didn’t want to accept him, yet she had woven such a lie to have him by her side for ten years.
He didn’t understand the meaning behind her actions.
"I should have guessed it long ago." Frank Parker mocked himself, smiling bitterly. "Although so many things felt wrong, I never thought that the person that night wasn’t you. I was like a fool, just believing whatever you said."
"Rebecca, can I ask you why you lied?"
"What is the meaning of you doing that?"
"You don’t even like me, so why would you lie to me? And let me believe that the person who saved me that night was you?"
Rebecca went pale in the face of his questioning.
She looked at him with panic and shock, unable to say a word in response to his questions.
How did he know that she wasn’t the one who saved him that night?
It’s been ten years since that incident took place.
During these ten years, he had never suspected her.
Why, all of a sudden...
"Frank, what are you talking about? It was me who saved you that night, if not me, who else could it be?" After a moment of panic, Rebecca slowly calmed down.
She felt that Frank Parker didn’t actually know the truth.
Just like the other day, he was only suspicious of her.
He had no real evidence.
Because it had been an entire ten years since that night.
