A trace of evil could be seen in Rachel's eyes. Soon after meeting Autumn, she hired some people to investigate about her. As a result of the investigation, she found out a lot of things.
She intended to reveal this woman's true nature to Charles today.
"What exactly do you want to say?" Charles frowned and asked impatiently.
"Just calm down." Rachel took Charles' arm and made him sit on the sofa. She passed on a bowl of neatly cut fruits to him and said,"I got to know this by chance. I hope that you don't get angry about it."
She then said with a sneer,"I know someone who's a good friend of Yvonne. She told me that Yvonne was having an affair with another man before marrying you. She also confessed that she married you only for the benefit of the Gu Family."
Rachel read Charles' expression while she continued," Charles, I know you married her only to please your grandpa, but… her improper words will have a bad influence on you, won't it?"
"So this is why you asked me to come?" Charles frowned again. He and Autumn met for the first time on the day of their wedding. So he was certain that there wasn't any affection involved in this marriage.
Although in just a few days post the wedding, he got really attracted to her, He was well aware that she didn't like him.
So, It was useless for Rachel to speak ill of her in this manner.
Charles' face darkened. For the first time, he realised that Rachel too enjoyed gossiping just like the other ordinary women.
Rachel was quite complacent about her tactic to wreck Autumn's reputation. She was certain that no man could stand this kind of misbehaviour of his wife. Charles' displeasure became an encouragement for her.
"Few days ago, after we met in your office, we had a chat. She said it herself that she didn't like you. Moreover, she admitted that she was with you for a specific reason. Anyone would feel bad on hearing something like that." Rachel kept instigating Charles against his wife and said,"Charles, you should cut all ties from her. Otherwise, she may think that you have feelings for her."
"She actually said that?" Charles asked with a cold face.
"Of… course." Rachel knew she was wrong but she didn't give in to her guilt. She very well knew that Autumn said those things in reaction to her offence. However, in order to win Charles back, she could go to any extend.
"Charles…" She wrapped her arms around his waist, and gently rested herself on his chest, saying,"I know that I didn't spend enough time with you because of my busy schedule. Your grandpa doesn't like me either. But I know where I was wrong. Divorce her, ok? Let's apply for a marriage license as soon as you get a divorce."
She paused and then said "And I will take all possible efforts to please your grandpa. I won't put you in any sort of dilemma no matter what happens."
'That old fool doesn't have many years left to live, so it doesn't matter whether he likes me or not!
Everything will be in my control after he dies.' Rachel thought to herself.
"What do you think about all this?" she asked Charles, pressing her face against his chest.
"You sit up first." Said Charles. He helped her sit straight up and said,"In fact, I am here to discuss something important with you today."
