Wanted: Billionaire's Wife And Their Genius Twin Babies novel Chapter 35

Mrs. Bennet adjusted her handbag while she moved her gaze slowly from Ziggy and back to Rachel.

Her brows were knitted in wretchedness. "Rachel, you know I hate people who break their promises, and you are that kind of person! What did I teach you when you were young? You should always keep your promises, but look at you now! You disappoint me!"

Upon hearing Mrs. Bennet's words, Rachel's heart froze.

This was her first time meeting her mother after five years, yet there was no morsel of concern or even a pretentious greeting.

The moment Mrs. Bennet saw her, all she did was condemn and blame her. She thought her mother would show her a little kindness and yearning, even a little bit will do...

Unfortunately, there were never any, to begin with.

Rachel scoffed in a faked indifference. "What are you talking about, Mrs. Bennet? I don't understand."

Mrs. Bennet was stupefied. "Rachel, what did you call me?"

"Mrs. Bennet, am I wrong to call you that?" Rachel asked.

Mrs. Bennet retorted in fury, "You have no heart! Rachel, don’t forget, I brought you into this world after ten months of pregnancy! I am your mother!"

Rachel shook her head and took a few steps back as if she had just heard the most startling insults. "No no no, Mrs. Bennet, please don't make jokes like this. The only person you gave birth to after ten laborious months is Rue."

Mrs. Bennet's face was red as she palpitated loudly. "Fine! Since you didn't want to recognize me as your mother, I will cut to the chase. You don't understand? What don't you understand? Rachel, don't forget it was you who promised me to leave the Orange Country so you wouldn't affect Rue! Why are you back now?!"

Rachel grinned coldly. "Affect her? When did I ever affect her perfect life? It's been five years since I left the Orange Country. People have already forgotten the things that happened five years ago, so what effect did I have on Rue's life?"

Mrs. Bennet was a little taken aback. It was true, Rachel's scandal from five years ago had died down and most people have forgotten about it.

Five years ago, she had used the same excuse to chase Rachel away but this time, what Rachel said had a point.

However, Rue's and the Bennets' fate was tied tightly together, so Rue's protection was their priority! The safety of Rue's secret was of utmost importance! Hence no accidents were allowed to happen to Rue!

"So what if it has died down? The memory of those things you did are still there, and if someone wants to return it to the spotlight, it will still affect your sister!"

Rachel's cold eyes shot a glare at Mrs. Bennet. "Who do you think will retell old stories? Since everyone knows the story, it won't gain traction even if it’s dug out again. So they won't do it unless someone arranged for it."

Rachel trained her gaze on Mrs. Bennet the entire time.

Uncomfortable, Mrs. Bennet trembled. How would she bring up that old story?

Rue told her that Edward had investigated Rachel before, which meant Edward had his doubts about Rue.

If this event was brought into the limelight again, it would mean that Rachel would be brought in front of Edward once more.
