Wanted: Billionaire's Wife And Their Genius Twin Babies novel Chapter 36

Mrs. Bennet looked at Rachel, hoping she would reprimand Ziggy for speaking out of order. Though instead of doing that, Rachel gave Ziggy a thumbs-up.

Seeing that, Mrs. Bennet almost passed out.

Rachel rubbed Ziggy's head. "Baby, you're so good. How did you learn to scold people without using swearwords?"

Ziggy shrugged. "It's not that, I just can't be bothered to use swearwords on people like this."

Rachel chuckled softly. "You're so good at it!"

Mrs. Bennet clenched her jaw upon seeing Rachel's persistence and eventually dropped to her knees with a pitiable look on her face.

"Rachel! I beg you, seeing that I carried you to term and that I gave you your life, promise me that you will leave the Orange Country forever. Can you do that?"

Faced with a second kneeling from Mrs. Bennet, there was no longer any hint of sympathy from Rachel.

Slowly, she lowered herself to Mrs. Bennet's height. "Mrs. Bennet, this seems to be your second time groveling for me, a younger generation, right? I'm curious, everything that you do, does Rue know?"

Mrs. Bennet tightened her jaw. "I don't care if she knows, as long as she lives a happy life."

Rachel's lips turned up mockingly. "Oh, you. You sacrifice so much of yourself to make sure Rue can live well and have no care for anyone else, including yourself."

Rachel’s words made Mrs. Bennet a little hopeful. "So Rachel, you will..."

Interrupting Mrs. Bennet, Rachel declared, "So I want to learn from you. I have no one else, so I want to live reasonably well given that I have no capacity to take care of anyone else, including you. Do you understand, Mrs. Bennet?"

Mrs. Bennet was stupefied for what felt like minutes.

Immediately after, her face switched into an unprecedented rage. "Rachel! How can you be so heartless?! Are you even human?! I am your mother! I even kneeled for you, yet you still refuse to make the promise! You did it the last time!"

Rachel stood up and smiled cordially. "Last time. Five years ago, I promised you because you were my mother. But now, five years after that, you aren't. To me, you're no more than a stranger. I don't owe a mere stranger anything, do I?"

Mrs. Bennet sat on the ground in defeat. Within the five years, Rachel had changed. She was no longer kind-hearted and obedient and instead, she had turned cold and distant.

Mrs. Bennet stood up from the ground as submission faded from her eyes and uncovered the condescension.

"Rachel, it must be difficult raising a child on your own, right? You don't have an income, you don't have a husband, you must lack money, right? Your child will need to go to school soon, which will take quite a bit of money. I'm worried about you!"

Rachel squinted in silence, waiting for Mrs. Bennet to finish.

Naturally, Mrs. Bennet continued, "Look, I can give you some money and help you open up a shop which will be enough to support yourself. In return, you'll leave the Orange Country forever!"

Rachel could not help herself but applaud. "Mrs. Bennet, you really are willing to spend money just for me to leave the Orange Country! I don't even know why you're so insistent on it."
