MainNovelChapter 1662: Elyse's eyes widened. "Rebecca? Wait, isn't she..." "Yes, she's the one who turned your dad's life upside down," George said steadily. "Back then, she was innocent, untouched by life's hardships. Your dad looked after her like a little sister. But eventually, her family found her and took her back. With nothing else to focus on, your dad slipped back into his old ways." Elyse's expression shifted, a storm of emotions flickering across her face. "And then?" she asked quietly. George sighed. "That's when things got worse. He spiraled-smoking, drinking, even gambling." Her eyes widened in disbelief. "Gambling? Are you serious?" Anger surged through her, and she slammed her hand against the table as she shot to her feet. "How could he even think of that? That's completely unacceptable!"

George noticed her thoughtful expression. "You don't know much about your mom, do you?" Elyse shifted uncomfortably. "Not really. People rarely mention her. It's always about my dad." George nodded thoughtfully. "Your mom couldn't match your dad in the eyes of the world. He was wealthy, talented, always mingling with famous people from every walk of life. Your mom, though-she cfrom a simple background." Elyse paused, absorbing the thought. "Yeah, that's true." "But only someone like her could keep him grounded," George said with conviction. “Do you know how they ended up getting back together?” he asked abruptly.
Elyse blinked, momentarily stunned. "Wait-did my dad go back to find her?" "No," George replied, a nostalgic smile tugging at his lips. "It was your mom who went looking for him. Somehow, she tracked him down and flew all the way to our little town."

He chuckled. "She sure did. Spent the entire day searching forhim."
George's expression darkened slightly. "She finally found him in a dingy, cramped gambling den. The place reeked of stale smoke, with shadows clinging to every corner. Your dad hadn't slept for over a day. He looked rough-bloodshot eyes, hair a mess, blending in with the gamblers like he belonged there."
