"I didn't, I didn't...."
Rebecca denied it repeatedly.
She was shaking like a leaf.
Recently, she had been trying to please Titus, Matthew, and Sheryl. She thought she could deceive everyone by being careful.
She was even secretly pleased with herself, even thinking that these people were too easy to fool
Unexpectedly, her schemes had not been able to escape Titus' eyes.
This man was too terrifying.
"You didn't?" Titus sneered coldly. "Do you know why I never said anything before? It's because I thought you were Sheryl's daughter. I knew that she owed you and i s trying to make things up to you, so I turned a blind eye. After all, I've seen too many people like you in the Costner family. You want money, but that's fine since I have money. It’s harmless to give you a little more, but it's obvious that you want more." 1
"Uncle Titus, you’ve really misunderstood me. Did Catherine say something to you? Don't be deceived by her." Rebecca continued to struggle.
Catherine could not bear to listen anymore. "Rebecca Jones, do you know what your fatal flaw is?"
She went forward step by step. "You want to stand at the top of the pyramid. You think that everyone will b e deceived by your hypocritical acting skills. You think that your tricks will work on everyone since you deceived Ethan like that before, but you forgot something. No matter how well you hide your background, upbringing, and true nature, they can't be concealed from the eyes of insightful people. To them, you just look like a buffoon."
"Catherine, stop trying to sow discord. You're clearly the hypocrite here!” Rebecca argued loudly, showing a n extremely aggrieved and sorrowful expression. "It's always like this. I'm clearly the victim, but people are always tricked by you."
Catherine laughed. "Didn't Wesley inform you who you're trying to get close to? Titus Costner is the head o f the Costner family. He’s lived for more than four decades. He always makes decisive decisions and is always right. He's incredibly knowledgeable. When you were born, he was already a formidable person whom the people in Neah Bay were in awe of. What kind of person hasn't he met or encountered before? If he doesn't have any skills, how did he secure the position he has today? Did you think you could hide your little schemes from him?"
"She's right."
Titus gave Catherine an admiring look. Then, he said,"
