Wanted: Billionaire's Wife And Their Genius Twin Babies novel Chapter 3

Mrs. Bennet held the livid Mr. Bennet back, hinting to him with her eyes and a shake of her head about Jodie, who was currently holding Rachel in her arms.

Jodie was the daughter of the Comer family! In that household, they had a preference for daughters, so naturally, Jodie was pretty well-liked at home.

The Comers and the Bennets were long-time family friends, hence Jodie was not someone they could lay their hands on.

Mr. Bennet shook his arms and barked with a grim expression, "Take second young miss to her room. From today onward, she is not allowed to leave the house!"

After Mr. Bennet stormed out of the hall, Mrs. Bennet too left with a sigh. Her disappointment toward Rachel was written all over her face.

Kneeling beside Rachel, Rue could not help but share her thoughts, "Rachel, you really messed up this time, having sex with a stranger. Don't you remember? You are supposed to be marrying Ian."

Rachel clenched her jaw and looked up at Rue. Her spirited eyes were filled with coldness.

"Rue, we were celebrating together yesterday. Didn't you realize I was gone after I got drunk?"

Rue held Rachel's hand gently. "After you disappeared, I made everyone look for you. Are you suspecting me, Rachel?"

Jodie nodded emphatically. "From what I heard, Rue did make everyone look for you, that's how your parents found out, Rachel."

Rachel looked away. She had this weird feeling that something was wrong.

She was drunk because Rue kept making her drink. However, she remembered that she was drunk. She could not even stand up on her own, let alone walk away. So how exactly was it possible for her to disappear on her own?

"Rachel, you should really contemplate on this. The engagement between the Bennets and the Comers is a huge event, you shouldn't mess it up because of your stubbornness!"

Rue employed a stricter tone to criticize Rachel, who was still sitting awkwardly on the floor.

Rachel looked at the elegant Rue with her jaw clenched. "You know, the one Ian Comer likes is you, and I don't like him. This marriage is supposed to be between you and him, but why did the bride turn out to be me instead?"

"Rachel, you should know that it was mom and dad who made the decision! Besides, you should be happy that you’re able to contribute to the Bennets."

Rue scowled. The loving facade she had on before had melted away now that their parents were gone.

Though Jodie looked away, her eyes filled with defeat.

"Rachel, are you really going to be my sister-in-law?"

Rachel pursed her lips. "Jodie, I will never take away the person you like. Don't worry, I will never marry Ian."

Jodie shook her head slowly and only left the Bennet villa after she had bandaged Rachel's bleeding arm.

"Rachel, I haven't been home for the whole night, my family might be worried about me. I'll check in on you later."

With that, in contrast to the intense scenario just moments before, the villa suddenly returned to a state of uncomfortable silence.

Rachel slowly made her way back upstairs by supporting herself on the banister. Due to the weakness in her legs, all she could do was shift the focus of her weight onto her arms.

The moment she started to use the strength in her arms, the wound reopened and fresh blood began to burst out of the bandage.

She gasped and reflexively let go of the banister.

As soon as her hand lifted off the banister, her point of balance was lost and her legs could not hold herself upright any longer. With just one sway, Rachel fell and rolled down the stairs.
