When Janet mentioned it, Lisa immediately became alert and hurriedly replied, “Ben wants to film a in a month and is currently recruiting. What do you think abo

that, Janet?”

“What kind of reality show?” Janet asked.

“It’s a family–themed reality show called ‘A Glimpse into Our Family. Each participating celebrity can bring a family member, like their dad, mom, brother, sister, or any other relative,” Lisa explained.

Then, she quickly added, “Janet, since your parents adore you, you can bring them along. It would be perfect to build up your “beloved heiress‘ persona, which is very popular right now. Also, since you just had a baby, it’s not suitable to act in a romance show, but a family show would be perfect.”

Janet considered it for a moment and then agreed, “Alright, go ahead and sign me up!”

Lisa nodded quickly. “Okay.”

“By the way…” She suddenly looked up and said, “The company asked me to remind you of something, Janet.”

“About you and Mr. Edwards, the company said that the best course of action is for him to divorce quickly and for you to marry him as soon as possible. Once you’re officially married to Mr. Edwards, there won’t be any issues if your relationship is exposed later,” Lisa reminded her.

Janet’s smile stiffened at that, and she irritably said, “Alright, alright, I’ll handle my own affairs. The company doesn’t need to worry. You just go do your job!”

Lisa hurriedly nodded. “Okay.”

Since Rebecca’s dad was coming, they needed a place to stay. So, in the following days, she and her mom were busy house hunting.

Money wasn’t an issue for the Carter family, so they didn’t want to settle for less. The best houses in Maeloria were in their area, and most importantly, Debra and Patrick both felt that since they were coming for their daughter, it would be best to buy a house close to her.

Eventually, they decided on the house right next to Rebecca’s, which would make them neighbors.

However, the question was, would the neighbors be willing to sell their house?

If the offer weren’t high enough, they wouldn’t sell for sure!

But if they offered enough money for the neighbors to move, it wouldn’t be a problem for them to sell the house to

Debra and Patrick.

Once the decision was made, she went to knock on the neighbors‘ door that afternoon to discuss buying the

house.

Rebecca had initially been worried that the neighbors wouldn’t sell, but to her surprise, her mother returned in just two hours.

In the room, she asked nervously and expectantly, “How did it go, Mom?”

With a proud smile, Debra replied, “Of course, it’s all taken care of! There’s nothing I can’t handle!”

Rebecca pressed her lips together, barely able to suppress her excitement, and thought that her mother was truly

remarkable.

However, the neighbors needed a few days to pack up and move. Being reasonable people, they gave the

neighbors time to move out.

Meanwhile, Rebecca’s postpartum recovery was also nearing its end.

With the babies‘ one–month celebration coming up, both the Edwards family and the Carter family wanted to hold

a party.

These two were the Carter family’s precious little ones, and during their official birth registration, Carter was registered as their last name, so the Carters thought that the celebration definitely had to be hosted by them and at their place.

But how were they going to throw this party? Where would it be held? Who would be invited? All of these were questions they needed to figure out!

Rebecca and Theodore hadn’t gotten divorced, so a grand celebration was out of the question. Otherwise, Rebecca’s connection to the Carter family would definitely be exposed, and the Edwards family would be even less willing to let Theodore and Rebecca divorce, as they would cling to their precious daughter.

The Carter family figured they should scale the celebration down and keep it low–key. But what was the best way

to do it?

As they were stressing about the babies” one–month celebration, the Edwards family was also getting anxious.

Theodore had tried to pull a few strings and thought it would be a breeze to handle the kids‘ official birth registration and last name issue. However, just two days later, his friend had informed him that the authorities had started a strict investigation, and now everything had to be done by the book without any shortcuts.

If he wanted to change the children’s official birth registration and last name, he would have to go to the Civil

process to finalize these changes.

In the room, Theodore placed a name change consent form in front of Rebecca and commanded, “Sign it, Rebeccal”

However, she just held the babies and didn’t move.

Theodore then lost his temper. He turned around and kicked a stool hard, sending it flying against the wall with a loud crash.

Debra was startled and narrowed her eyes at him.

The next moment, Theodore furiously shouted, “Don’t make me do this the hard way, Rebecca!”

Rebecca countered, “These two kids are mine. It’s perfectly reasonable for them to have my last name. What right do you have to change it?”

“Why shouldn’t our kids carry my last name?” Theodore couldn’t take it anymore and shouted, “And you gave them the last name Carter? Ha! Who the hell is Carter? When did you start seeing someone else behind my back?”

He was so worked up that he began to stutter. He continued to shout furiously, “Rebecca, let me tell you, these children are mine. They will only ever have my last name. Sooner or later, I’ll change their last name and official birth registration!”

As soon as Theodore finished speaking, his eyes turned red. He then glared at Rebecca before turning on his heel

and storming out.

Four days later, the babies finally turned one month old.

The Edwards family had to cancel the one–month celebration for the babies at the last minute. They told others it was because the babies were sick and that the fortune teller advised against it. However, within the family, they knew it was really because the babies‘ didn’t have Edwards as their registered last name.

After the babies turned one month old, Rebecca also completed her postpartum recovery period.

Sam and Melissa also moved out of the villa as Theodore made them do so, worrying that staying there might

worsen Melissa’s condition if she got too worked up.

As a result, Rebecca was the only one left in the large villa.

But with them gone, it was now convenient for the Carter family to throw the one–month birthday party for the

babies.

The Carter family’s relatives suddenly all gathered at the neighboring villa, including Rebecca’s father, mother, three older brothers, uncles, aunts, cousins, and other close family members.

The closest relatives in the family all arrived, each bringing three gifts, which they insisted on giving to Rebecca

and the children.

Unable to refuse, she finally accepted everyone’s gifts with a flushed face.

The party wasn’t only for the babies. It was also for Rebecca. She had been separated from the family for more than twenty years and had just been found. Everyone missed her dearly and took this opportunity to see her during the babies‘ one–month celebration.
