Chapter 109
Theodore contained his emotions and then answered the phoni
Rebecca spoke briefly and reminded him that he needed to go to the Courthouse to get the divorce license today.
Theodore didn’t badger, and just simply replied a word, “Okay”
Rebecca was stunned by his crisp reply. She paused for a moment and nodded. “Yeah.”
After hanging up, she picked up her bag and went out.
Debra was worried about her, so she hurried to follow.
When they arrived at the door, they happened to see Theodore opening the door and walking out of the villa next door.
At the same time, in a villa diagonally opposite, a paparazzo was taking pictures of them.
The bodyguards hired by the Carter family could prevent paparazzi from hiding near the villa and taking secret photos. Still, they had no way to deal with those paparazzi who bribed others and found ways to sneak into nearby villas. After all they couldn’t break into other people’s homes to stop those paparazzi, and there was no need for that.
Rebecca, Debra, and several bodyguards got in the car.
Theodore watched them with a frown and then got into his car without saying anything.
His car followed the Carter family’s car. They drove to the Courthouse.
Half an hour later, the two cars arrived at the entrance of the Courthouse and stopped in the parking lot.
They opened the car doors at the same time, got out of the cars, and glanced at each other before walking towards the gate of the Courthouse.
Behind them, a black car followed. Inside it, Daly Moore, a paparazzo, looked at the gate of the Courthouse with his eyes widened in shock. He immediately realized something. Then, he excitedly picked up the camera and frantically took pictures of the backs of Rebecca and Theodore, who were walking towards the gate of the Courthouse.
Big news! Big news! Daly thought he was going to make a fortune from this news,
There was indeed something wrong with Rebecca.
Theodore was about to divorce her.
Daly was excited. He took some photos in a row, then got out of the car and wanted to follow.
However, as soon as he got out of the car, two bodyguards in black suits came out of Theodore’s car and walked up to him. Daly had a bad feeling. He quickly turned to go back to the car, inserted the key, and wanted to drive away
It was too late. His car was stopped, and a bodyguard stood beside the car door, asking Daly to open the door and get out
Not only Daly, there were many paparazzi in other places. Many bodyguards came out from all directions. Without exception, all the paparazzi were stopped.
Rebecca and Theodore didn’t care what happened outside. Debra paid the couples in the front line and let Rebecca and Theodore jump the queue and stand at the front.
It didn’t take long before Rebecca got the divorce license. The moment she got it, she felt the depression in her heart finally

relieved.

Debra was happy. She took the divorce license from Rebecca and looked at it. The more Debra looked at it, the happier she felt. She couldn’t help but take a photo of the license with her mobile phone and send it to the family chat group of six people.
Soon, there were many messages, emojis, and stickers to celebrate Rebecca’s divorce.
“Becky, look, they said they have transferred money to you to celebrate your divorce. Check it!” Debra was excited. She pulled Rebecca beside her and reminded her happily.
little girl
Rebecca was amused, thinking, “Sometimes, Mom is very cute, acting like a little girl:
Thinking of this, she took out her mobile phone, checked the group chat messages, and received the transfers.
Rebecca thought for a moment and sent a message: [Thank you
Theodore stood aside and kept looking at Rebecca. She hadn’t looked at him since she got the divorce license. She actually…didn’t even show the slightest reluctance. He clenched the divorce license slightly. After a while, he pretended to put his hand in his pocket casually and turned to leave the Courthouse.
Bryce sent another message to the group chat: [Becky, go to the Civil Registry Office and change your last name.]
Rebecca saw the message and replied with a smile [OK]
Debra saw Bryce’s message as well as Rebecca’s reply. She turned to look at Rebecca, feeling very happy.
Then, she took Rebecca’s hand, left the Courthouse, and went to the Civil Registry Office together.
It was easy for an adult to change his or her name. Rebecca took the relevant information, went through all the procedures, and changed her name.
“This is the temporary passport. You can use it during this period. The official one will be processed after a while.” After completing the process, Bryce gave Rebecca the passport and spoke with a smile.
From today on, Rebecca’s name was Stacey Carter.
Debra and Patrick gave her this name a few days ago, and Rebecca liked it very much, so she changed her name to this today.
“Thank you, Bryce.” Stacey looked at Bryce and said with a smile
Bryce also smiled. He couldn’t help but rub her hair lovingly. After enduring for so long, Stacey finally went through the hardship and started her new, happy life.
“Don’t be so polite to me. If you have any problems in the future, feel free to leave them to me. I will do my best to protect you,” Bryce said lovingly.

In the office, a female officer on duty turned to glance over quietly, showing great curiosity
“If you have nothing else, go home and rest. I still have to work for a while. I’ll go home after getting off work,” Bryce said
with a smile.
“Okay,” Debra agreed immediately. As she spoke, she secretly glanced at the female officer in Bryce’s office and suddenly smiled brightly.
The female officer was caught peeking and was startled. She quickly shifted her gaze but soon realized that she was overreacting, so she pretended to be calm and turned around naturally to say goodbye to Debra with a smile, ‘Goodbye, Madam. Be safe.”

Chapter 109
“Hey, are you
marned? How old are you? Do you have a boyfriend?” Debra didn’t want to leave. She looked at the female officer and asked with a smile.
Bryce realized what Debra wanted to do. His ears turned red, and he quickly stopped her. “Mom, she’s just my colleague. Don’t overthink. It’s getting late. Go home with Stacey. As he spoke, he pushed Debra out.

Debra looked at the female officer. That girl was good–looking, and she had been peeking at Bryce just now, Debra thought the girl and Bryce were well–matched.
Stacey also smiled. She couldn’t help but secretly take a few more glances at the female officer. The girl was really beautiful. When Bryce noticed Stacey’s gaze, he felt helpless, quickly pushing them out and letting them get in the car.
“Mom, Becky, go home. I’ll be off work soon and be back.” After the car door closed, Bryce breathed a sigh of relief and said
with concern.
Debra smiled. “Go back to work. It’s not bad to work overtime occasionally. Come on, Bryce!”
Bryce was speechless.
