It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 779

The next morning, as soon as Duke pulled his car into the underground parking lot of the office building, Rachel got out of her Porsche. Here was the only place she could see him. She had been waiting. The minute he came into view, she walked toward him.

"Duke, good morning." In a white dress, curly hair swinging in the wind as she walked, Rachel had put on an innocent image instead of her usual sexy style.

"Morning," Duke grunted without looking at her. He locked his car and was ready to leave, obviously not interested in speaking to her.

"Duke, can I talk to you for a few minutes?" Rachel asked in a rush and quickened her steps, gripping her dress and biting her lip.

"About what?" Duke asked briefly and slowed down his steps.

"About... Belinda," Rachel hesitated, studying his expressions.

"What about her?" Duke stopped and turned around abruptly. Apparently, even Belinda's name itself meant a lot to him.

"Do you not know the kind of woman she is? She is marrying you because she wants to get the Leng Group, not because she loves you," Rachel told him. She was convinced that when Duke got to know this, he would leave Belinda. Then she'd have her opportunity.

"Oh. Really? Where did you hear that rumor?" Duke asked with a sneer. Indeed, marrying him hadn't been Belinda's intention. However, she hadn't eventually married him because she wanted the Leng Group - Belinda wasn't interested in anything Duke had. He had told Rachel about it before. It seemed like she had forgotten that. Or maybe she was just pretending to have forgotten.

"It is not a rumor. She told me about it herself. I'm not lying," Rachel replied in a triumphant tone. She thought she finally had something over Belinda that would clear all the obstacles in her path to become Duke's wife. Yesterday, she had noticed Belinda drove a Lotus sports car. It didn't cost much. Duke hadn't bought her a better car. Rachel was convinced that Belinda didn't mean to Duke as much as he claimed she did.

"She told you herself? Are you sure?" Duke asked mischievously, wondering if he had missed something.

"Of course. I have no reason to lie to you." Rachel made herself sound as sincere as possible.

"When did you see her?" Duke asked abruptly in a grim tone. He could put up with her creating trouble or playing dirty tricks when it came to him. However, if she decided to make Belinda her target, she was on dangerous ground.

"Last night. That's when I got to know how vicious that woman is." Rachel thought she had done Duke a huge favor by finding out Belinda's true nature. Duke ought to be thankful to her. She felt pretty good about herself.

"So it was you she met last night. What did you say to her?" Duke glared at her and suddenly gripped her jaw between his fingers. No wonder Belinda hadn't eaten anything last night. She had been somewhere with Rachel. Belinda disliked her immensely. Rachel must have incensed her so much that she had been too beside herself to eat. But why hadn't Belinda said a word about it to him? Was it because she didn't think it mattered? Or because she just didn't take him seriously enough?
