The mock turtle soup spilled across the smooth table surface and began to drip onto Rachel from its corner. The sticky liquid dripped onto Rachel's clothes, dirtying it. Rachel's brows slowly pulled toward each other as her face soured by the second. "Oh, no, the soup is dripping." Although Rue pretended to panic, the tilt in her hand showed that she had no intention of stopping. On the contrary, she flicked her wrist and splashed the rest of the content onto Rachel's face. "Rachel, don't worry, the table is clean. You can continue eating this soup. After all, you've never tasted anything so luxurious..." Rachel pushed away Rue’s arm that was pressed down on her shoulder and slowly stood up. The stains on her dress did not dampen the spirit she had. "Rue, you're my older twin sister, so there are many things you do that I put up with. But don't cross the line, because everyone has their limits. When grasping at straws, even rabbits can bite." Having dropped her last wor
Stuck between Mr. Bennet and Rue, Rachel could not do anything but press her hands hard against her abdomen. She could not get away from both of them no matter how hard she struggled. Although they were her father, her mother, and her sister, she felt like she was alone all those years living as a Bennet. Even if the arrival of this child meant that she would lose her purity and reputation, at least, she would no longer be alone from that day onward. Hence she must protect this child! Mrs. Bennet quickly pulled the doctor aside and gave him a card. "Doctor, we don't know the father of the child, so the Bennets cannot have the child. Please, abort it." The doctor did not accept the card that Mrs. Bennet tried so desperately to shove in his hand, but he set his eyes on Rachel, who continued to resist even though she was sweating buckets. As she struggled, Rachel continuously used her hand to protect her abdomen delicately... After observing her for a long while, he had ma
Thus, both Mr. and Mrs. Bennet had mistaken Rue to be the more intelligent one and had spent all their resources on her. They had thought it through. Since they were twins, they should focus their resources to nurture the one with the highest potential, leaving the other one as a backup plan — a fodder of sorts. However, they did not expect Rue's result to be Rachel's. Of course, when they had found out much, much later, they were drowned in regret. This was all after the story was done...Mr. Bennet snorted coldly. "No one outside can find out about this, or the Bennet Group's reputation will fall into pieces! Most importantly, the Comers cannot know about this!" Mrs. Bennet looked at Rachel's baby bump. "How are we supposed to hide the belly?" Rue held her parents' hands softly, implying that she was going to help. "Mom, dad, it can be solved. If we hired a private doctor and have them operate in this house, wouldn't that solve it?" Her parents’ eyes suddenly lit up. How
Rue's hand gently wiped away the tears on her eyes, hiding a faint smile that appeared on her face. Ever since they were born, Rue and Rachel were each given ten percent of the shares in the Bennet Group. However, since Rue started working at the Bennet Group, she received an extra ten percent of the shares. Coupled with the ten percent she would receive from Rachel, she would then be holding a total of thirty percent of shares in the Bennet Group! In this case, she would effectively become a significant partner of the Bennet Group. No one would have thought that getting Rachel’s unborn child out of the equation would result in such a surprise. "Mom, dad, maybe that's not the best idea. Even if Rachel isn't doing anything for the Bennet family, she's still part of this family." No matter how happy she was on the inside, she still had to maintain her image of a thoughtful sister while she dragged Rachel down. Mr. Bennet scoffed. "It's alright. She's right about one thing,
With Ian's words, Mr. and Mrs. Comer frowned. They did not bother to hide their displeasure. Just the night before, they had received a set of weird photos. It was one of those self-destructing ones that could be viewed for five seconds but not saved. Even though it was only five seconds, they saw it clearly. The woman in the pictures should be Rue! It seemed like Rue was only pretending to be innocent, so how could someone like this be seen together with their son? "No! I no longer believe in any of the Bennets' integrity!" Mrs. Comer said with determination. Mr. Comer agreed. "Ian, don't worry. We'll find you a proper lady. We aren't 'good' enough for either of the Bennet daughters!" Seeing the looks on the Comer parents’ faces, they were obviously rejecting the offer, to which the Bennet parents found perplexing. Even if they were not fond of Rachel, what made them dislike Rue? Ian held Rue's hands and said seriously, "Rue, wait for me. I will convince my parents,
The reporters' ceaseless manhandling kept pushing Rachel around, even her luggage had been sent to the ground. None of the reporters had the decency to be nice to a woman like Rachel and all they did was swarm her. Suddenly, a lanky figure barged in and pushed back at the reporters who had Rachel surrounded. Detecting a hint of familiar body scent, Rachel looked up. "Jodie, are you here?" Jodie nodded at Rachel. She then took Rachel into her arms and lifted the luggage bag before they left. It was only after getting into the car that the reporters began to disperse. Rachel took a glance at her short-haired and refreshed dear friend, Jodie before letting out a relieved sigh. "Jodie, thank you." Jodie shook her head. "No, Rachel, I think you're very brave. If only I'm half as brave as you are." Rachel touched Jodie's arm lightly. "Jodie. you’re so much braver. You were just like a man back there!" Jodie side-eyed Rachel and pretended to be angry. "I'm warning you, Rache
The moment Jodie opened the door, she saw Rachel collapsed on the floor with her nether region stained with piercing red. Jodie immediately carried Rachel in her arms and charged downstairs as though she was Rachel's bona fide boyfriend. As her car arrived at the hospital, Rue and Mrs. Bennet showed up as well. Looking at Rachel who was already passed out on the trolley bed, Jodie became worried.Rue, on the other hand, fixed her gaze on Rachel's very-bloated abdomen as her hand tensed into a ball. 'This child inside belongs to Edward Bluemel?!' For a split second, Rue had an urge to flatten Rachel's stomach with a punch! 'She was lucky to have spent the night with Edward Bluemel, let alone have his child! That is the dream of so many women!'The doctor shot a serious glare at Rue, who still had her hand on the trolley. "Miss, please let go of the trolley! This is a critical period for the mother!" Startled, Rue immediately retracted her hand from the trolley. After s
After a good while, Jodie finally returned to the hospital. In the meantime, Rue was pacing in front of the ward anxiously. Seeing Jodie's return, Rue hurriedly held onto Jodie's hand. "Jodie, you're back. Something has happened at the office, I need to go. I'll leave Rachel in your good hands." Jodie nodded. "Alright, go. But when would Rachel..." Before Jodie could finish her sentence, Rue had begun to walk away. Although she proceeded to extend her arm, she still could not stop Rue from leaving. "When would Rachel be able to return to the Bennets."Jodie shook her head before she entered the ward carefully. As she watched over an unconscious Rachel, she exhaled deeply. "Rachel, why are you doing this to yourself?" At midnight, the eyelashes of a pale-faced woman in bed trembled subtly. Rachel slowly opened her eyes with bouts of panic. She sat up in such a sudden movement that it alerted Jodie who had her head by the side of the bed. "My child! Where is my bab
