Back to Love: A New Beginning
Chapter 324

Chapter 324:.

When I entered the house, I immediately saw a figure standing in front of the French window. It was a woman. She was quite tall and thin.

Despite the winter cold, she was wearing only a thin purple sweater and tight pants. I had to admit that this woman had very nice legs. Also, with her long wavy hair falling down to her waist, she looked very lovely from behind.

Staring at the woman’s back, I coldly asked, “Who are you?”.

At that moment, the woman slowly turned around and looked at me with a smile. When I saw her face, I felt as if I had been struck by lightning.

It couldn’t be.

I stared at this woman’s face in such disbelief that it looked like I had just seen a ghost. In fact, to me it was a ghost. I was so shocked that I staggered backwards. My legs wobbled and I struggled to stand up.

I would have collapsed to the floor if Derek hadn’t hugged me in a hurry. I stared at Derek’s face, desperately searching his gaze for something to reassure me.

However, he looked as surprised as I did. At that moment, a woman slowly made her way towards us, showing signs of confidence and with a broad smile on her face.

Was it really Sybil?

However, I quickly pushed the thought aside. It couldn’t be Sybil. It was impossible. It was true that they looked very much alike, but it couldn’t be her.

The woman stood in front of Derek and me with a broad smile. When she spoke, I knew for sure that it was not Sybil, but Becky. She had just undergone plastic surgery to give the impression that she was her sister.

“Derek, Eveline, where have you been? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.” By now Derek had regained his composure and was looking blankly at Becky.

“When did you get here, and why didn’t you call us to let us know you were coming?” As he spoke, Derek walked over to the living room couch and sat down quietly.

As for me, I was still in shock and couldn’t move.

Becky completely ignored me and turned to follow Derek. She sat down next to him on the couch and held his hand affectionately.

“I just want to surprise you,” she said in a honeyed voice.

Becky and Sybil had looked a lot alike in the past. But with the plastic surgery Becky had undergone, it was now almost impossible to distinguish her from Sybil.

Seeing Becky and Derek sitting side by side, I thought for a moment that Sybil was still alive. Becky now looked more beautiful and more mature than she had in the past.

Despite the ten year difference between Derek and Becky, there seemed to be a good chemistry between them. Right now they gave the impression of being a perfect couple.

I felt my heart sink as I watched this scene. As a whirlwind of emotions washed over me, I calmly made my way to a nearby couch and, once seated, turned on the television without saying a word.

I knew I had to control my emotions at this moment. If I allowed fear and doubt to take over, I would lose completely to Becky.

Derek then removed his hand from Becky’s arms and casually lit a cigarette. I looked at the TV casually, but continued to listen to their conversation.

I heard Derek ask Becky what she had been up to lately. It turns out that after finishing filming the series, Becky went to Korea for a while.

She didn’t need to tell us what she had been doing there, as it was obvious. Becky was telling Derek how much the director appreciated her acting skills.

According to her, the director already saw her as a real celebrity once the series aired. However, Derek seemed completely disinterested in what she was saying.

He looked at his watch and said nonchalantly, “It’s getting late. I’ll ask the driver to take you to your hotel.” Derek’s words left Becky speechless.

Actually, she was as surprised as she was. Of course, Becky wasn’t happy with what Derek said, and she didn’t hesitate to let him know.

She shifted her body and said in a honeyed voice, “I don’t want to go to the hotel. Derek, imagine for a moment that when I go out, someone photographs me without my knowing it.”

However, her complaint didn’t seem to move Derek at all. He took a puff on his cigarette and said nonchalantly, “You’re a public figure and, as such, you can’t avoid being secretly photographed. Just be careful.”

Without another glance at Becky, he pulled out his phone and called Timmy.

Becky was totally pissed off at this point. It was a stark contrast to her excited and confident appearance from earlier. Timmy arrived shortly. Although she didn’t want to leave, Becky had no choice but to get in the car with Timmy.
