This discovery sent jitters all over Rina. She had no idea why Sonia would turn out to be the realRina Gray, and she had less clue about the feud between the latter and the Grays. Nevertheless, she knew that there would be no room for a fake Rina like her to exist once Sonia’s real identity was exposed.
Sonia only hired me to pose as Rina Gray because she didn’t know that she was the real Rina Gray herself, but once she finds out about it, she might not let me continue with the pretense anymore, she thought. If I were her, I wouldn’t allow someone else to pose as myself Nobody would like someone else to be posing as themself
Once Sonia found out that she herself was Rina Gray, she would return to the Grays without a doubt, and even though she had a feud with them, all of it would disappear in the eyes of blood relation regardless of how deep the feud was before. Then, when the Grays acknowledged Sonia as their daughter,
Rina would have to return home and go back to her dark, hopeless life.
No, I’m not going back to that life! I finally walked out of that suffocating family and managed to have this wealthy life now. There’s no way that I’m going back! Rina thought, and the more she thought about it, the more afraid she became. Her body started trembling like a leaf in the wind, with the blood all drained from her face.
Looking at her curiously, Sonia asked, “What’s wrong?”
Rina’s eyes kept flashing as she stammered, “I-I’m fine. It’s just that I suddenly feel a little unwell...”
“Unwell? Did you fall sick?” Sonia asked in concern.
Beneath the table, Rina’s hands balled up tightly, but she forced a smile on her face. “Yeah. I just have a stomachache all of a sudden.”
“I see. I’ll take you to a doctor’s, then,” Sonia offered without a single shred of suspicion for Rina’s words because she really looked unwell.
However, Rina appeared terrified and shook her hands frantically. “T-That’s not necessary, Miss Reed. I can manage it myself. Also, my driver is waiting for me outside, and I can just ask him to send me to a doctor’s,” she said while pointing outside.
Hearing that, Sonia turned around and saw a luxury car waiting outside through the class window, whereupon she nodded with a smile. “Alright. Go quickly, then.”
“Okay, I’m leaving now, Miss Reed. Let me know if you need anything in the future.” After bowing lightly to Sonia, Rina then started walking toward the door, but she had just taken a couple of steps when she suddenly held her head while her body swayed, as though she was about to pass out.
Seeing that, Sonia sprang up hurriedly.
“Are you okay?” “I... I feel a little dizzy...” Rina answered meekly, and in the next second, she fell toward Sonia without any warning.
“Hey!” Sonia cried out in surprise and rushed forward to catch her.
In the end, Rina leaned against her shoulder, and in a corner where Sonia’s eyes couldn’t see, a grim look flashed across her eyes, but it disappeared very quickly. After that, she placed her hand on Sonia’s shoulder and moved it near her hair a little before stopping abruptly.
All these were done behind Sonia’s back, so she didn’t see anything at all.
On the other hand, Sonia patted Rina’s face anxiously. “Rina, don’t pass out! Hang in there. I’m getting your driver here!”
“That’s okay, Miss Reed.” Lifting her head, Rina forced out a meek smile on her ashened face. “I’m fine now. Thanks for catching me, or I would have fallen on the floor.” “You’re fine?” With her brows knotted tightly together, Sonia added, “But you don’t look fine.”
“I’m fine, really. It’s my gastric acting up again. Plus, I have low blood sugar; that’s why I almost fainted. You know how my life used to be, Miss Reed. It's not surprising that I have these issues. I’ll be fine after resting a while,” Rina said.
However, Sonia was still worried as she asked again, “Are you really fine?”
“It’s true. You can let me go, Miss Reed. I can stand by myself,” she replied while nodding her head firmly.
Seeing how determined she seemed, Sonia decided not to say anything else and released her grip on her arm.
“Thank you,” Rina said and straightened her back as she withdrew her hand which was on her shoulder.
Suddenly, Sonia yelped in pain, and her face cringed.
