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
Mr. Bennet's grim gaze lowered slowly as glimmers of mysterious intent flashed in its depths. "That's right. So you're saying this child is Rachel's and Edward's baby?" Mrs. Bennet approached him with the crying baby in her arms. "That's right, dear. Look at this baby, he has both Edward's and Rue's features!" After knowing the baby as Edward Bluemel's son, even the irritable Mr. Bennet suddenly became cautious around him. He then took the fussing baby from Mrs. Bennet's arms but fixed his gaze on Rue. "How are you going to let Edward Bluemel believe that it was you whom he spent that night with?" Rue's eyes narrowed gradually with her face beaming. "Dad, don't worry, I have an idea." The next morning, Rue appeared in front of the Bluemel mansion with a delicately-wrapped bag. Edward was sitting on his sofa while sipping on his coffee. When he saw Rue and Mrs. Bennet in front of him, he frowned slightly. Gwaa gwaa— A baby's deafening cries echoed in waves inside the m
Rue was taken aback for a hot second. 'Why wouldn't Edward choose to marry me immediately?' If he wanted to find Rachel who took his jacket so badly back then, does that not mean he held an unusual feeling for Rachel? Now that she had impersonated Rachel, why was he acting so aloofly? Could it be that Edward had realized something? Seeing as Rue was hesitating to speak, Edward continued, but his gaze was filled with distrust and doubt. "Let me ask you this. When you left the room, did you leave anything behind?" Processing Edward's words, Rue's calculative mind began to work.Since Edward asked, Rachel must have left something. "That's right, I did leave something behind." Edward looked at Rue indifferently. "What did you leave behind?" Edward's question caught Rue by surprise. The one who had sex with him was Rachel, not her, so how would Rue know what Rachel left behind? Moreover, she had never asked Rachel about this! "It was ten months ago, so I can't remembe
Taken by surprise, Mrs. Bennet replied hesitantly, "Do we really need to be so resolute about it? Rachel is no longer a Bennet, after all..." Before Mrs. Bennet could finish, Rue sighed deliberately. "Mom, I know you still have a soft spot for her, but you should know that if this was exposed, the entire Bennet Group will be destroyed!" Upon hearing Rue's words, Mrs. Bennet stopped abruptly. Rue was right. In the beginning, they did not know Edward was the man whom Rachel had a one-night stand with! Since they had chased a pregnant Rachel away, Rue's replacement of her would have been the last straw. If this whole saga was exposed, Edward Bluemel's wrath would fall on the Bennet family and they would not be able to fend it. Between Rachel and the entire Bennet family, Mrs. Bennet would undoubtedly choose to save the Bennets. "Don't worry, Rue. I will take care of it." With Mrs. Bennet's promise, Rue exhaled in relief. "Mom, I didn’t wish for it to come down to this.
Mrs. Bennet tensed her jaw and persisted. "The incident about your premarital pregnancy was all over the news. So now that your sister has married the Bluemel family, her life hasn’t been the best..." Rachel smiled bitterly. "Wasn’t I the victim after it became a city-wide affair? How did your precious Rue get victimized?" Mrs. Bennet's hand slammed heavily onto the table in anger. "Rachel, don't forget you were the one responsible for the entire thing! You should've taken more responsibility in ensuring it didn't happen! It was you who had the scandal and affected your sister's future! Rue is the sole victim here!" Mrs. Bennet was so loud, her voice traveled to the corners of the cafe and attracted people's attention. Rachel shook her head in disappointment. 'Same old, same old!' In fact, it was funny to think that her parents did care for her..."Alright, she's the one you want to make into your heir, so Rue Bennet will always be a victim!" Slap— A crisp slap echoed in t
