The quarrel between the women escalated as Wilhemina and several others grabbed a fistful of each others' hair while still yelling at the other.

At that sight, Ziggy’s eyes revealed a faint hint of loathing before he sauntered out of the office.

In the meantime, Rachel and Anne opened the door to the President's Office and walked in.

The atmosphere in the room was tense. Both Mr. and Mrs. Bennet had been asking Nathan to let them see Rachel, but Nathan kept his silence and allowed them to make a fuss without acknowledging them.

The situation teetered on a weird equilibrium until Rachel walked in.

Mr. Bennet glanced behind him at Rachel with a furious expression.

He then stepped forward and raised his hand, intending to slap Rachel across her face.

However, Rachel grabbed Mr. Bennet's wrist in time to stop him. Her eyes were cold. "Are you telling me you've been here making a scene the whole time just to slap me?"

Mr. Bennet was filled with wrath. "You unfilial daughter,

    Rachel nodded at Mr. Bennet obediently. "Alright then." When she turned around to face Nathan, the obedience on her face melted away into a mysterious smile. "President Chapman, I suggest you listen to Anne, which is to not work with the Bennet Group! The Bennet Group is a bottomless pit that will never bring you any profit and will only bring you problem after problem. So, it is in your best interest to not reinstate the contract!" As Rachel's words took hold, everyone in the office was speechless. They all thought Rachel would plead for Nathan to reinstate the contract with the Bennets, but they did not expect Rachel to drop such a bombshell. Mr. Bennet's face almost turned purple. He reached out toward Rachel with his shaky fingers and walked toward her as if he was going to choke her to death. "Rachel! So it turns out we have harbored a snake in our bosoms! Have we Bennets not treated you properly? If you don't want to do us a small favor, that's fine, but to say someth

    Nathan's face turned somber. "That's right, you deceived me. You said you weren't from the Bennet family and had grown up out of the country." Rachel lowered her gaze. "I didn't want to have any connection with the Bennet family anymore. Besides, they told me that they no longer considered me as their daughter, so..." Nathan's gaze intensified. "So..." He reached out and lightly flicked Rachel's forehead, then nodded with a smile. "I need to punish you." Rachel stared cluelessly at Nathan. "What?" Nathan shook his head. "Alright, I've punished you so you can go back now. Office hours are over, you know." Rachel was a little shocked. "What?! President Chapman, are you not going to fire me?" Nathan frowned in confusion. "What, do you want me to fire you?" Rachel shook her head frantically. "No, no, didn't you say you wanted to punish me?" Nathan poked Rachel's forehead. "Didn't I already punish you?" Rachel was so immensely moved that she gave Nathan another bow. "Pre

    Rachel asked Ziggy hesitantly, "Baby, are you sure you're gonna be okay by yourself?" Ziggy responded, soothing her worries, "No problem, mommy. You should take the stairs like how we came downstairs just now, it's faster." With a nod, Rachel turned around to go back upstairs. After Rachel left, Ziggy immediately jumped onto the chair and began typing on her computer. Looking at the time, the Bennets should still be in the lift. So, he swiftly cracked through the Chapman Group's firewall and accessed the lift system. When his tiny finger lightly pressed the 'Enter' key, he grinned with his eyes half-closed. "Enjoy your time in there, 'gramps'!" Rachel ran out of the office and looked at the lift that opened for her before she ran up the staircase. In her mind, Ziggy's words kept echoing. Just as she arrived at the president's floor, the lift's light went out. Rachel cocked her head in confusion. 'Did the lift malfunction?' The moment the light in the lift went o

    A group of technicians was crouched around the lift, checking the damages on it and frowning at the work required. 'Why do we have to fix the programming of the lift?!' 'It's so much more work to do!' Hearing the call for help from inside the lift, a technician typed on his laptop non-stop. His brows scrounged up impatiently as he freed one hand to pound on the lift door. "Shut the hell up! If you mess up my thoughts, be prepared to be in there for the whole night!" The procedure was not difficult, but it was complicated. In fact, it required multiple layers of steps and programs to solve. After the pounding, the lift began to shake again which caused both Mr. and Mrs. Bennet to be frightened out of their mind. So they held onto the handrails in the lift with jittery hands. At this point, their throats were parched and their voices were gruff from the screaming. However, they were still stuck in the dark lift. Not only were they not allowed to leave, but they also had

    Edward's footfalls stopped irritably. "Spill." Rue smiled. "Actually, my mom and dad have prepared food at their place, so they want me to bring you and our son over for dinner." "No." Without thinking, Edward rejected Rue. Rue followed them upstairs, begging, "But Edward, if you never come to my parents' place, I would be gossiped about at home. If only you could hear the things my extended family has said about me." She looked at Josh. "Besides, my parents like their grandson, but they’ve never seen him more than a few occasions since his birth." Edward's protection of Josh was too flawless. Even as Rue begged with tears streaming down her face, Edward was indifferent. "We will not go." Rue lowered her chin and held onto the handrail in defeat and sadness. "Edward, what did I do wrong? It's been five years since you married me, but never once have you touched me, and all the times I needed you, not once have you given me help or connection. And now, I just wanted

    Mr. Bennet's red wine collection was considered high-class to his family, but when presented to Edward, it was as low as it could get. Now, just by smelling the wine destroyed any of his desire to drink it. Mr. Bennet smiled awkwardly. "So Edward, what would you like to drink? I'll ask my servant to buy them." Edward simply glanced at Mr. Bennet. "No need, I don't have the appetite." He was a strange individual. If he had to spend time with people he was not fond of, he would be disinterested and disgusted with everything they do. It was even more pronounced if the purpose was for a meal. Mr. Bennet thought it might be the dishes that were prepared, so he smiled at Rue. "Rue, what does Edward like to eat? I'll get the chefs to prepare some new dishes!" Rue paused in frustration and embarrassment. How would she know what Edward liked eating? The times she and Edward had sat down together and ate could be counted in one hand. Moreover, it had never been just the both of

    Rue balled up her fists and yelled at her parents. "I should marry Ian and make Rachel marry Edward, is that it?!" Mr. Bennet frowned, but he was having a different thought. 'It might not be a bad idea.' Ian would satisfy whatever Rue asked for, and that would, in turn, make the Bennets the biggest winner! Meanwhile, with Rachel marrying Edward, she would take Rue's place in suffering. Not everything was for naught. If Rachel could make Edward happy, that would be even better! Mr. Bennet clapped his hands in frustration. Why had he not thought about this! From the beginning, Rue had concocted the entire scheme about Rachel and Edward. Not only that, but she also provoked Mr. Bennet, which was why he immediately expelled Rachel the moment he heard that she was pregnant. He did not even visit her after her labor. Mrs. Bennet shot a glare at Rue worriedly. "Rue, what are you saying? How can you talk to your father like that?!" Rue pressed her lips together. "Mom, dad, ar

    Rachel paused, confused. "Baby, why do you say 'again'? I just found out from them this afternoon, did you already know?" Ziggy shook his head. "No, didn't you just mention the incident at the toilet?" Rachel scratched her head awkwardly. "Oops, I must've confused myself."Ziggy reached out from under the blanket and patted Rachel's head with a smile. "Mommy is a little scatterbrained!" Rachel hugged Ziggy and rolled around in bed as they both laughed loudly like bells. "Baby, I have a feeling that a guardian angel is protecting me! Every time something bad happens, they’ve always protected me from all the bad things!" Ziggy nodded happily. He wanted to tell Rachel that he was the guardian angel she was talking about.However, to avoid scaring her, he chose to remain silent. "That's right! Mommy's guardian angel must be very handsome!" Rachel pouted. "How do you know it’s a man?! I think she must be a beautiful woman angel!" Ziggy shook his head decisively. "No no!

    Ziggy kept his head lowered. If he had lifted his chin, his face that was identical to Josh's would be recognized. "Mommy, I have a stomach ache. I'm going to use the toilet." He then turned around and ran, not seeing Jane who was approaching. As a result, the two crashed into each other, and Ziggy was sent flying before he landed by Edward's side. "Are you alright?" Edward helped Ziggy up with one arm but was stunned when he saw Ziggy's face. The little boy had pink lips, pearly teeth, and looked adorable. However, the child and Josh looked exactly the same too! Ziggy stood up straight, his wise-beyond-his-years eyes reflecting a hint of seriousness. "Looks like we can't hide it anymore." "Hide? Hide what?" Rachel and Edward asked simultaneously. Josh and Ziggy shared a look before Josh took his mask off. The moment the mask was off, Rachel froze in surprise. Her eyes were wide as she looked at the twins — Ziggy and Josh. She could not seem to react. "What, wha

    Edward shook his head lightly, his eyes deepening in coldness. Since when did he catch a cold? Some ungrateful fool must be talking about him behind his back. Seeing as Josh and Edward were descending the staircase, the old butler approached them. "Master Edward, Young Master Josh, good morning." Josh nodded as he fixed his gaze on the main entrance of the house. "How is mother?" The old butler shook his head before saying, "Mistress is nowhere to be seen, I checked this morning. I didn’t see her anywhere." Josh's eyebrows raised. "Did you send someone to have a full sweep of the area?" The old butler answered. "We've looked everywhere, but we couldn’t find her." Edward carried Josh into the bathroom calmly. "Don't worry. She's an adult, not a child. She wouldn't have waited the entire night outside. She's probably back at the Bennets' place. He handed Josh the electric toothbrush. Josh took it before they both stood side by side and brushed their teeth by the sink.

    Remembering how she had criticized Jodie, she was instantly filled with regret. So the former assistant set down the box in her arms and walked toward the entrance of the building. She needed to expose everything! Just as she was approaching the entrance, her hand was pulled and she was dragged aside. The assistant looked at Jodie, slightly disoriented. "Jodie? Why are you still here?" Jodie lowered her gaze and looked at the woman she had fired. "Why did you turn back?" The assistant retrieved the card from her pocket. "I saw this and realized I might have misunderstood you. So I turned back and saw the entire scenario. Jodie, I'm so sorry to have doubted you!" Jodie shook her head as she did not mind the apology. "There's nothing to apologize for. As long as you bring the card to that company, they'll give you a pretty good position." The assistant nodded, but her gaze lingered on Rue and Ian. "Jodie, thank you, but there's something I need to do before I go!" Jod

    Jodie frowned and picked up the business card from the floor. Then, she pulled the assistant's arm and placed the card into her hand. "Don't be silly, you need the job. You need to build your career in the city so you can earn more money to send home, don't you?" The assistant scoffed before she turned around to pack her things. "I don't need your pretentious pity! Since you wanted me to leave, you must have cut me off any backup plans I may have, so save it!" Jodie backed up, still frowning. "I'm not pretending. I'm just thinking you should leave here before it's too late." The assistant was so enraged, tears began to well up in her eyes as she put her things in a box. "Fine, since the entire Comer Corps is yours! I'm just a tiny employee, I have nothing I can say!" After quickly cleaning up her desk, the assistant bumped into Jodie’s shoulder when she walked past Jodie as if she was avenging herself. Jodie almost fell. However, she still walked up and grabbed the assist

    The next day, when Rue woke up in the bed, Ian was already dressed and prepared to leave. "Ian, where are you going?" Rue cocked her head and asked in confusion. Ian was slightly surprised. "I have to go to work." Disappointed, Rue lowered her head. "What about me, Ian? Where am I supposed to go?" Ian sat on the side of the bed and hugged Rue. "You weren't home the entire night, won't the Bluemels be worried about you? Why don't I send you home?" Rue's gaze lowered. 'Worried about me? Impossible! Why would the Bluemels worry about me?' She reached out and tugged at Ian's collar, shaking her head. "No, I want to follow you to work." Ian was a little hesitant. "Today? Right now? But I haven't let my current assistant go yet..." Rue grabbed onto Ian's waist with an affectation on her face. "So fire her. You're the general manager, right? It's just a phone call away. I want to be with you, the sooner the better..." Ian was ecstatic at Rue's words. He stroked her back.

    Josh's eyes sparkled. When he had gifted the gift, Edward was aloof and only casually asked the old butler to keep it. However, he did not expect Edward to value it so much that he placed the table lamp here. Edward looked at Josh's sparkly eyes and patted his head. "What are you looking at? You should sleep. Aren't you going to school tomorrow?" Josh nodded quickly and the two fell onto the bed playfully. Even though the two were sleeping on one side of the bed each, Josh was satisfied. The moment he shut his eyes, Edward took him into his arms. The young Josh was immediately enveloped in Edward's warm embrace. Deeply moved, Josh's eyes opened wide. He then reached out to hug Edward's waist with a glad smile. As everyone had slowly drifted off into dreamland, a human figure sat in front of the Bluemel mansion, shivering in the cold breeze. Rue clutched her palms into fists. Seeing the darkness around her, she picked up her phone and dialed a number. A drowsy voice

    Rue halted and turned around, her body trembling uncontrollably. Mr. and Mrs. Bennet were right. She could not control a man like this! However, she did not want to give up on a man this exceptional, even though she could not manipulate him, and worse, she did not want to give Rachel the opportunity! "Edward, w-what is it? Do you have anything else you'd like to do?" Edward squinted coldly. "What are you trying to do, going upstairs?" Rue gritted her teeth. "I would like to go and rest..." "Rest? You hit my child, and now you want to go upstairs and rest?" Edward cocked his head with Josh in his arms. There was a chilling look on his face. Rue shuddered. "I've already explained myself. It was only an accident, but you didn't believe me. Besides, you've already hit me, what more do you want?" Josh tugged at Edward's hand non-stop. "Father, please let it go. I think mother might not be in a great mood tonight, so she..." Edward held onto Josh's tiny hand with his large

    Rue's expression was full of darkness and displeasure. "What did you say, Josh? You've become bad. You weren't like this before. Who taught you to disobey your mother like this?" Josh allowed Rue to pull him around by the collar and his face turned redder by the second. Lifting Josh by his collar, Rue almost strangled him as Josh was about to pass out from not being able to breathe. "No one taught me, I was only stating the fact." Rue's eyes narrowed as she lifted Josh higher and higher, not paying attention to how he was struggling to breathe. "Rue, what the hell are you doing?!" Edward was standing on top of the staircase when he called out coldly. He could not wait for Josh to knock on his door anymore, so he went outside to see what was happening. However, He did not expect to be treated to a sight like this! 'That woman deserves death for treating my son like this!' Hearing Edward's voice, Rue whipped around instinctively to look at Edward. She shuddered and
