His Fake Proposal Led Me To My Real Husband Chapter 25
The next morning, Tyler’s video was trending locally.
My mother called me at six.
“Becca, don’t you worry about me.”
Her voice was soft. She clearly hadn’t slept.
“Someone just asked me if I knew all along that you were going to switch men. I didn’t argue with them.”
“Mom, why didn’t you?”
She paused.
“I was afraid I’d cause trouble for you.”
“You’re not causing me trouble.”
I sat up and switched on the bedside lamp.
“If anyone asks you about this again, you tell them that Mason’s fake proposal was real, and so was the recording.”
“But the Westbrooks…”
“They are not people you need to please.”
There were a few seconds of silence on the other end of the line.
My mother sniffed.
“Okay.”
Later that morning, Eleanor called.
“Our PR team can put out a statement immediately.”
“Thank you, but I want to handle this myself.”
“Are you sure?”
“I’m sure.”
She didn’t try to persuade me.
“If you need anything, you tell me.”
After I hung up, Julian placed a prepared statement in front of me.
There were only two lines on it.
*Without Rebecca’s consent, I will not speak on her behalf in the name of the Cavendish family.*Â
