The Lincoln stretch limousine stopped in front of Rachel's apartment as she quickly alighted. "Mr. Chapman, let me go explain to my son about tonight." Nathan was slightly surprised, but he maintained his calm smile. "We can bring him along." Rachel shook her head. "It's alright, Mr. Chapman. We can just come home earlier." She did not want her son to enter the upper-class social circle. The more aristocratic a circle was, the messier it would eventually become. She hoped her son could keep his naivete and live a simple life with occasional smarts. Nathan followed Rachel upstairs after giving Anne an indicative nod. After getting the hint, Anne left the apartment. Knock knock— Rachel knocked on the door, grinning. The door opened and Ziggy flew into Rachel's arms. "Mommy, you're home! I've waited for you for so long!" Rachel held Ziggy in her arms and laughed. "Baby, this is Uncle Nathan." Ziggy looked at Nathan and grinned, his smile brightening up the entire r
The other salesperson brought out the most expensive sets of suits and placed it in front of Ziggy. While Ziggy was taking his time to choose the suit he wanted, the other salesperson pulled the one attending to Ziggy aside. "What are you doing? Why are you attending to a lone child, what business can he bring you?" "You don't know, but he has a diamond credit card!" "Look at the clothes he's wearing, I’m sure it didn't cost more than 200 quids to buy everything that he's wearing right now, so how would he possess a diamond card? I bet his family is not even rich. The diamond card is probably a fake or he stole it somewhere, it just doesn't make sense for him to own the card!" "... Well, when you put it like that, it kinda makes sense!" "It makes all the senses, alright? Now find an excuse to chase him away!" The sales lady then approached Ziggy. "Little boy, are you thinking none of these suits suit you? Do you want to go somewhere else to have a look?" Ziggy simply lo
Anne was a little distracted as she stared at Rachel. 'No wonder Nathan would put so much effort on a newcomer like her.' Aside from her superior talent, Rachel also exuded a delicate air that not many rich ladies have, and that face... As the door opened, Nathan's first look at Rachel was on her lanky, pretty legs with an eye-catching crystal heel. Following that, Rachel exited the car in a pure white dress that showed off her flawless shoulder and delicate clavicles. The dress was so white that it was almost translucent, but it reflected light like the wings of an angel, and it barely exposed anything that was not supposed to show.The slanted high-low skirt puffed naturally and gracefully, exposing her fair, lanky legs. On top of that, the skirt was sprinkled with diamonds that resemble stars in the night sky or beautiful morning dew. Her dark brown hair sat naturally on her shoulders. Her irises were clear and bright, her brows were dainty, and her long lashes quivered sli
The more she tried to remember, the more her head ached. It was as if her head was going to explode. She held her head painfully. "Rachel, are you alright?" Nathan's worried voice caught her attention. After recovering from the pain, Rachel stopped trying to recall the deep, dark secrets of her past life. Holding onto her shoulders, Nathan asked, "Rachel, what happened to you?" Rachel shook her head lightly. "It's nothing. So sorry I made you worry." Nathan sighed in relief. "As long as you're okay." Before Rachel could respond, a middle-aged pair approached them with their glasses of red wine. "This is Mr. Chapman, isn't it?" The middle-aged man gestured at Nathan with his glass and smiled.Hearing the middle-aged man's voice, Rachel froze in shock. 'Isn't that dad's voice? Then the woman beside him...' The middle-aged woman spoke as she looked at Rachel, "This is your date for tonight, isn't it? She looks beautiful! This dress must have cost a tiny fortune on
Rachel lowered her gaze. 'Hmph! Rue, I am more than just someone you know!' Nathan grabbed Rachel's shoulder and smiled. "It's alright, she's even more low-profile than I am. I won't say who she is, but you'll meet again anyhow." Without any particular reason, Rue felt a little rueful.She was incredibly curious about the woman in front of her, who seemed to draw more attention than she did, and it made her envious at the same time! 'I should be the one in the spotlight tonight!' 'I am Mrs. Bluemel!' 'I married the man every woman wants!' 'Yet this woman took two-thirds of the attention away from me tonight!' How would she be able to endure that disrespect? This familiar-yet-foreign loss made her think of another person! Rachel! Rachel clenched her jaw. 'It could not be Rachel!' 'This is the highest class of social event, how would Rachel be able to come in?' "Oh, what a shame that I can't find out who the lady is." Rue sighed dramatically. Rachel squinte
Nathan corrected her, "Isn't the saying 'Cheater draws first blood?' " Rachel shot Nathan a glare of fake anger before she shrugged. "Well, that's for cheaters, and I'm not a cheater." Nathan nodded with a grin. "Alright then, beauty draws first blood!" After Edward studied Rachel for a little, he found familiarity in her voice. It was so similar to the nymph that fateful night. However, he would not conclude immediately that she was the nymph that night. He had found many people who sounded similar to the voice, but none of them was the mysterious lady who had captured his heart. Besides, having a similar voice profile would not explain anything. "Nathan, aren't you going to introduce your partner to me?" Nathan nodded to Edward's question. "This is Rachel, you know her, I've told you before. Her name is Rachel B..." Rachel reached out and covered Nathan's mouth. She looked a little dissatisfied. "That's alright. Simple introduction, remember? We talked about how
The moment Rue looked down and saw Ziggy on her leg, her brows knitted together in irritation. Ziggy was wearing a mask, so even though his figure was familiar to her, Rue did not have time to consider extraneous questions while talking about the Bennets’ future. Frustrated, she kicked aside Ziggy who was preparing to speak. "Whose child is this? Don't randomly hug people!" Ziggy immediately let go. 'Even though this woman looks like mommy, her voice and tone are completely different!''Mommy will never be that rude!' 'But why would this woman look like mommy?' Ziggy stood calmly by the side, glancing at Rue, Mr. Bennet, and Mrs. Bennet alternatively. He paused as he stared at Mrs. Bennet as though he had suddenly thought of something. 'This middle-aged lady looks familiar.' His memory cycled quickly like a rapidly moving Powerpoint presentation and eventually stopped at the time when he was outside of the Comer manor. 'Oh, that's the grandmother who had bullied mo
Edward looked at Rue coldly as he tightened his grip on her wrist. "You're asking me? What have you done?!" Rue looked at Edward in confusion. "What are you talking about, Edward? I don't understand." Edward pointed at the loudspeakers. "You're polluting the ball into a night club." Rue was stunned with disbelief. "What? Didn't you change the music?" "Am I that tasteless?" Edward brushed Rue's hands aside. However, Rue held onto his arm tightly. "Edward, I didn't change the music. I have been talking with my parents, where do I have the time to change it?" Edward looked at Rue coldly. "Only you and I can change the music. So who else, in your wise opinions, can do that aside from us? Do you mean to say that I asked for this kind of music?" Rue twitched her lips. Their argument seemed to have garnered quite a bit of attention. "There's no point for us to argue like this. Let's just change it back!" Edward flung Rue's hand away and walked toward the stage. Clenching h
