I had suffered again and again, no, it was more than pain, each time was a heart-breaking catastrophe to me. How could I be relieved by such a few words tonight? It wasn't enough, not enough at all.
And there was a baby in my belly!
I stroked my belly, and it was my baby with Marlon. Both my baby and Alicia's were Marlon's children, why was it that Alicia's baby was already doted on by Marlon even before it was born, while my baby was destined to be fatherless even before it was born?
Why?!
I grew up with my mother. Memories of being neglected and beaten by Marvin since childhood came back to me. I had such a sad and painful childhood, why should my baby be destined to live this kind of life before it was born?
No, I definitely wouldn't allow it!
I narrowed my eyes and my hands clenched into fists. That was right. Why? Shania and her daughter had enjoyed all the pampering, it was our turn now.
I caressed my belly. Since they were both Marlon's children, why should I concede without even fighting? Why would Alicia get engaged to Marlon on Saturday? Why would her child be doted on by Marlon?
In the dark night, I gave a smile. Kieran's ultimate goal was to make Marlon fall in love with me. Then, since that was the case, why can't my goal be to snatch Marlon from Alicia and give my baby a complete home? I would let Alicia experience the pain I suffered.
"Alicia, the good show has just begun. From now on, I will definitely return all the pain to you ten times, to your mother, and even to the Cornell family!" I swore firmly.
The intense resentment kept me awake all night, so much so that I went straight to work at the company, but didn't feel the slightest bit sleepy.
As soon as I sat down, Everly walked to me. The other colleagues in the office looked at us with some glee and lowered their voices to discuss it.
"Look! Rachael will be in trouble! Ms. Everly will definitely not let go of her this time!"
"That's for sure. Rachael pays her addresses to Mr. Charles these past few days. Ordinary people can't stand it, let alone Ms. Everly. Rachael is dead meat!"
"It serves her right! She is a woman utterly without self-knowledge. Rachael and Ms. Everly have great difference in social standing."
Everly cast a cold gaze at everyone. Everyone tacitly lowered their heads and began to work. However, when Everly's gaze passed, they secretly raised their heads to peek at us.
Everly walked up to me and looked down at me when I had my breakfast. She said, "You're so idle every day!"
I remained silent.
"Rachael, even though you have an extraordinary relationship with Mr. Charles, idle people are not welcome in the Universal Group. I, Everly, don't need worthless people. If you keep doing this, I can only ask you to leave!" Everly said sternly.
I stood up and said, "Ms. Everly, I have always wanted to do something for the company, but perhaps you forgot about me, so you didn't arrange anything for me. I don't want to cause trouble for you, so I can only sit there!"
