Rainee was pregnant, but she couldn't get rid of the baby. Her life had been completely ruined.
She had to seize her last hope.
Soon, they arrived at the Perry family home.
When Rainee came down, her legs went soft. She was mostly dragged into the Perry family living room by Lucinda.
Erine saw Rainee, and her eyes were wide open.
It seemed that these people had come here because of Rainee!
Erine, as a maid, could not interrupt at a time like this. She could only whisper in Selina's ear, "Miss Whitlock, I've long said that that woman was not good news. Now you see that she's actually framed Master Perry. If Master Perry ever took a fancy to such a woman and made her pregnant, I, Erine will cut off my head!"
A look of antipathy flashed across Selina's eyes.
She suppressed her anger and sat on the couch.
If things were like before, that would've been impossible.
But now that Ludwik was here, she had to act like a lady, and not be too hot-tempered.
Lucinda pushed Rainee into the middle and said, "Please tell everyone what happened!"
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Rainee's face.
Rainee was at a loss for words.
Ludwik also opened his mouth, "Rainee, don't be afraid. I am here, you have to explain what happened clearly. I will make the decision for you."
Rainee took a deep breath.
Her eyes searched around before finally landing on Matthew's face.
The man's eyes were like a torch, sharp as a sword.
Rainee's heart jolted.
The sword stabbed into her heart, which made her feel painful and panicky.
Rainee gathered up all her courage and said, "That day, I had bought some things for Matthew to eat, so I came to the Perry family. As a result, when I arrived at the Perry family, I saw Matthew drunk. I originally wanted to leave after putting down the things, but Matthew grabbed my hand and said that I was so beautiful. Then Matthew took me to the bedroom upstairs, and..."
Rainee bit her lips, looking as if she couldn't bring herself to speak.
Lucinda was excited. "Did you hear that? That's what happened. Matthew, what else do you have to tell us?"
Lucinda's friends also started to talk about it.
"The witness is here. It had been made clear, you must admit what you have done!"
"Rainee is too simple. How could she not know the danger of going to a man's house alone? Men are controlled by the lower half of their body!"
Matthew suddenly stood up.
He walked toward Rainee slowly.
Rainee felt those steady and powerful footsteps as if they were stepping onto her heart, making her tremble.
Rainee shrank back.
Lucinda immediately stopped in front of Rainee. "What? You want to threaten my daughter after she told the truth?"
Matthew's voice was low, but with a faint deterrent force, "Madam Wood, I'm just asking Rainee a few questions."
Ludwik also opened his mouth, "Lucinda, Matthew can always ask a few questions, plus everyone is here. Can Matthew threaten Rainee in front of so many people?"
Lucinda stepped aside.
His tall figure instantly towered over Rainee.
Rainee's body was trembling.
"Rainee, when did this happen?" Matthew suddenly asked.
