Chapter 112

Rebecca was Charlie's biological sister, the lost younger daughter of the Carter family! How could this be?

Helen's mind went blank; her heart pounded. Panicked, she quickly exited the group chat, opened Twitter, and checked the post. Rebecca was an actress; many posts about her were already on Twitter, including those that had sparked heated discussions earlier. Helen guessed the news her friends had just shared would also be there.

She opened Twitter and checked the trending topics. The top one was immediately apparent: "#What a reversal! Charlie and Becky are siblings!"

Helen began browsing various posts and found that Rebecca's official Twitter account (using the stage name Becky) had retweeted Charlie's studio's announcement that they were siblings. The tweet was lengthy, but the most important part was a picture of a paternity test report. Charlie and Rebecca were, in fact, siblings.

In other words, Rebecca's true identity was the younger daughter of the Carter family, missing for over twenty years.

Facing this truth, Helen felt dizzy. Theodore and Rebecca had finalized their divorce that morning; by evening, Rebecca and Charlie had announced their sibling relationship. What did it all mean? Rebecca had deceived Theodore into a divorce! She had concealed the truth about her relationship with Charlie, tricking Theodore.

Helen, her hands shaking, frantically grabbed her phone. She opened her contacts, found Theodore's number, and called him.

At Edwards Group, Theodore was working late when his phone rang. Seeing his mother's name, he answered. "Theodore, you were tricked into a divorce! Rebecca lied to you. She and Charlie aren't romantically involved; they're siblings—real siblings! Rebecca was accidentally lost over twenty years ago; she's the missing younger daughter of the Carter family!" Helen exclaimed anxiously.

"What?" Theodore was bewildered. Deceived into a divorce? What did that even mean?

But he soon understood. Rebecca and Charlie weren't romantically involved; they were siblings.

Theodore's heart raced; he felt a surge of happiness and excitement. Rebecca wasn't that kind of person; she hadn't cheated or had affairs. She was still that simple, pure girl.

The more Theodore thought about it, the happier he became. After hanging up, he quickly checked the news to confirm the truth. Learning that Rebecca and Charlie were siblings brought unprecedented relief and happiness.

As for Rebecca hiding the truth and divorcing him, Theodore considered it seriously. He thought she'd been angry because he'd misunderstood, hurt, and saddened her, prompting the divorce. But it didn't matter; those were misunderstandings, and he knew they wouldn't happen again. Furthermore, the Carter family was even more powerful than the Smith family. He'd heard they owned several gold mines overseas and even several private islands.

Theodore thought, If I pursue Rebecca again, Dad will support me, right?

With that in mind, he immediately called his father, Michael. He was confident he could convince Michael this time. He could be with Rebecca again, and Michael wouldn't force him to marry Jenny. After all, the Carter family was far more influential than the Smith family.

At Mitchell Villa, Janet's parents, Gary and Karen, also received messages from friends and relatives. Everyone was shocked and curious about the situation.

Gary and Karen were stunned. Learning the news had broken on Twitter, they quickly checked the trending topics. After reading the tweet, they were shocked. Their adopted daughter, Rebecca, was the lost younger daughter of the Carter family—the famous Carter family!

Many congratulated them, saying that after raising Rebecca for so many years, the Carter family would surely repay the Mitchells. Everyone believed the Mitchell family would prosper under the Carter family's patronage.

But the more Gary thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He called Janet. Janet, a famous star, knew more about the news than they did. Could it be false? How could Rebecca be the lost daughter of the Carter family?

When Ruth, the director of Lovey Princess, saw the news, tears welled up. She quickly wiped them away and then retweeted Charlie and Rebecca's announcement via the official Lovey Princess account to show support.

Ruth, Malcolm, Nora, and others also saw the news quickly. The revelation of the long-held truth brought relief. They, too, retweeted to show their support. They finally understood why Rebecca had remained calm throughout the controversy and why the drama hadn't been removed or banned. Rebecca was incredibly calm and clever. This big news would definitely spark renewed interest in Lovey Princess and Reverse Days.

Even after retweeting, their excitement remained, especially Malcolm's. He finally burst into tears. He'd been so depressed lately. Lovey Princess was his most hopeful project. He wanted it to be a huge success; if it failed, he'd have to retire from showbiz. He might not be cut out for it.

But the situation had reversed. Rebecca and Charlie weren't romantically involved; they were siblings.

Malcolm never expected to act opposite Charlie's sister, let alone as a romantic lead. It was the highlight of his life. Most importantly, Lovey Princess was going to be a hit.

Malcolm thought, Will I become famous, too?

The thought filled him with excitement; he couldn't contain his surging emotions. He was overjoyed.
