BOOKSDRAMA Chapter 540
Chapter 540
Seeing Rebecca so wracked with guilt, even blaming herself entirely for Sandra's death, Daniel's heart ached for her.
He had never met anyone as kindhearted as Rebecca.
And yet, everyone seemed to have misunderstood her.
Especially Karen.
Rebecca was supposed to be her future granddaughter-in-law!
Thinking back to Karen's behavior last time, Daniel felt only cold disappointment.
"It's my fault! It's all my fault! Daniel, don't try to comfort me!" Rebecca sobbed uncontrollably. "If only I'd taken better care of my
mom! She was always so good to me—I don't deserve to be her daughter! I don't deserve any of it!"
Daniel held Rebecca tightly. "Rebecca, please don't do this to yourself. If your mother could see you now, she wouldn't be at
peace, even in the afterlife."
Now Sandra was gone, Daly was still in prison, and Rebecca had no one left in this world to lean on.
He had to find a way-fast-to see Rebecca married to Sherman.
Only Sherman could give her the support she needed now.
With that in mind, Daniel said, "Rebecca, you're not alone. You have me, and you have Sherman. I promise, I'll find a way to
clear up the misunderstandings between you and him."
Rebecca buried her face in Daniel's chest, a small, triumphant smile tugging at the corners of her lips.
Daniel was Sherman's closest friend. Sherman trusted him implicitly, and with Daniel's promise, Rebecca finally felt reassured.
Gradually, Rebecca managed to stop crying. Sniffling, she said, "Daniel, please don't tell Mr. Christensen or Mrs. Christensen
about my mom. I don't want them to worry."
"Rebecca, you're too kind for your own good! Sometimes, no matter how much you give, kindness isn't always rewarded."
Rebecca was always thinking of Sherman and the rest of the Christensen family.
But they... treated her so poorly.
Karen, especially, had belittled her at every turn.
Daniel sighed inwardly, but said aloud, "Don't worry, Rebecca. I won't tell them."
Of course, that was impossible.
Rebecca had no one left. The Christensens needed to know the truth and take her in.
It was summer, so Sandra's body was taken directly to the funeral home that day.
On the way, Rebecca fainted four times from grief.
Once Rebecca had finally calmed down, Daniel set off for the Christensen estate.
He had to deliver the news to Karen in person.
As soon as he pulled up to the gates, security stopped his car.
Fuming, Daniel stepped out. "Are you blind?"
The guards apologized. "Sorry, Mr. Robinson, but Mrs. Christensen instructed us not to let you
even a step." Content bell

Daniel was stunned.
He hadn't expected Karen to be so unyielding.
Old age really had made her stubborn!
Left with no choice, Daniel pulled out his phone and called the house directly.
A housekeeper answered.
Swallowing his anger, Daniel said, "Could you put Adah on the line?"
Karen was unreasonable, but Adah would at least listen to sense.
Adah hurried to the phone. "Hello?"
"It's me, Adah," Daniel said.
The moment she recognized his voice, her tone shifted. "Oh, Mr. Robinson! What's going on?"
Daniel got straight to the point. "Adah, something terrible's happened!"
"What is it?"
"Rebecca Rebecca's mother died from carbon monoxide poisoning. We're at Cloudcrest Funeral Home now."
