It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 428

"Nonsense! Of course he is my baby's father. Who else could it be? The whole city knows bloody well Edward is the only man I've ever slept with!"

Luke had handed her the test results, but she didn't believed them for a single second. Edward didn't want to hurt Daisy and so he had forged the report to fool that stupid woman, who was too thick to see the truth. But it didn't mean that she, Jessica, would play their ridiculous game.

"Tsk-tsk! Miss Lin, I think you of all people should know who the father is. Or have you slept with too many men that even you can't be sure, so you make Edward the perfect scapegoat?"

Rain sneered. If it was true that she hadn't slept with anyone except Edward, how could she get pregnant? She must think they were real idiots.

"You..." Enraged, Jessica raised her hand and swung it at Rain's face. Never in her life had she been so vilely treated and Rain was the first one who dared throw insults in her face.

"So are you getting angry because you feel guilty and ashamed? Trying to lash out at me?" Rain caught hold of her wrist firmly. Had she really thought about it before she acted? She couldn't expect him to stand there to take the slap, could she?

"Let go of me! How dare you insult me like this?" Stung by his harsh words, Jessica felt the heat rise in her, her whole body trembling like a leaf in the wind.

"Miss Lin, the only reason I show you any respect is because your father was my business partner for many years and I feel it a professional courtesy. But it doesn't mean you can do whatever you want."

Rain flung her hand away roughly, and a hint of disgust crossed his eyes. His pretty face was hard and tight, darkened with icy cruelty.

"Don't take yourself too seriously. I don't need your revolting courtesy. It's an utter disgrace just to stand here with you."

Jessica staggered back a step and glared at this impassive man in front of her, her eyes blazing with anger. He was always a nobody to her and she never really honored him with a glance, but at that moment she couldn't help feeling a cold fear in her heart, although she had managed to put a bold face on.

"That would be convenient for everyone. But do you really think you have any grace left in you?" Something flickered in Rain's eyes, then his lips curved to an elegant arc and his face broke into a wicked smile.

"Even on my worst day, we'll never be in the same league. How ridiculous to hear a bastard son talking about grace! You should never forget who you are and where you stand." Jessica gave him a triumphant smile. Did he truly believe he could hide his little secrets in the dark forever? Any private detective could easily dig into his past and bring his family tree to light. Indeed, he had the blood of a noble family, but his identity had never been admitted publicly. So he was just a bastard son with nothing to inherit and in no position to defy her.
