His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 1229

Dustin was not to be considered a fool. He didn't think Rachel would visit him without reason.

"Ms. Bai, I really appreciate that you could spare time and drop by here. I know you're busy running a big company, but I got something to do, so..." Clearly, he only thought of cutting Rachel off. And that was the least he could do to keep his company as well as himself from getting in a lot of trouble.

"Mr. Zhang, can't you help me out this time? We are a team now!" Rachel implored. She had realized that Dustin didn't want to have anything to do with her. But she didn't want to give up her plan so easily considering she was with him. She firmly decided to give it a shot and see if Dustin would agree to work with her company.

"What exactly do you mean by that? When did I team up with you?" he asked with a frown.

He never regarded himself as being involved with her, except for their sexual encounters that had happened several times.

But as far as he knew, Rachel and Holley had whored themselves out to other men to save Tarsan Corporation, and he was just one of them. So he got nothing to fear even if Rachel threatened him with what had transpired between them.

"Before I went straight here, I met with Lance and said something to him. Now, he thinks that you've taken my side. Even if you don't give me a hand, Lance will still find a way to put you down. We both know your company is smaller than Silver Corporation, so why don't you work with me? Perhaps your company can survive," Rachel expressed in a composed manner.

She had fabricated the lie for she was already out of options. And she knew the consequences of this. If she successfully tricked Dustin into working with her, her company would be able to survive in this city, or else she would end up in a helpless situation.

Now that Lance had cut her off, and that she had kicked Holley out of her company, she couldn't imagine how herself and Tarsan Company were going to get through this if Dustin refused to help her out.

"You're so smart, Rachel Bai!" Dustin uttered through his gritted teeth as he panicked inside. 'If Rachel didn't tell Lance her relationship with me, I would ignore her and ask her to leave. But this vicious woman is setting me up and trying to get my company in big trouble.

If she is telling the truth, I can't work with her at this point. Otherwise, Lance would be convinced that I am against him. I am not silly.

Everyone knows that Rachel had tried to suck up to other big enterprises after Charles made it clear that he didn't want any company to be involved with hers. She turned to Lance for help but ended up offending him, so he instructed all the media houses to stay away from her. Perhaps she is lying.'

After weighing the pros and cons, Dustin pulled out his phone in a bid to call up Lance.

"Who are you calling up?" Rachel asked, feeling rattled within. She initially thought that Dustin would help her company survive this time after he heard her words. But it had never crossed her mind that he would call Lance in her presence.

"I'm calling Lance. I'd like to see if you're telling the truth," Dustin coldly replied as he dialed Lance's number.

"No, you can't..." Rachel tried to take away his phone from his hand but failed. Once Dustin talked to Lance, her lie would be exposed. And that was the last thing she wanted.
