Chapter 55 Mrs Blackwell Is Back

Finished
As soon as they sat down, Rhea began to praise, “Orion, you’re amazing. What do you want Rhea to give you as a gift?”
Her eyes never once glanced at the wine glass.
She couldn’t let Nevin suspect she’d drugged his drink, so everything had to look perfectly natural.
The seller had told her this drug would arouse a person’s deepest desires-make them fall for someone without even realizing it.
Thinking of that, Rhea couldn’t help getting excited, joking with Orion while keeping Nevin in the corner of her eye, watching as he picked up his glass and took a sip, completely off guard.
Rhea’s heart thumped wildly.
It worked!
She was not going to lose to Demi!
So what if Demi had Orion’s child?
She would be the future Mrs. Blackwell!
Ambition flashed in Rhea’s eyes.
She hadn’t originally planned to drug Nevin.
But with Demi suddenly acting out of character and becoming such a threat, she had no choice.
She wasn’t afraid of Demi making a scene. In fact, the worse Demi behaved, the faster her relationship with Nevin would fall apart.
What Rhea hadn’t expected was that Demi-who used to be so jealous about her and Orion- suddenly didn’t care about Nevin or Orion at all, even going so far as to file for divorce.
Now Nevin didn’t want to let go, and Orion wanted his mom.
But Rhea knew the truth-her relationship with Nevin was as pure as a secret crush.
She’d used her gambling addict dad as an excuse to ask Nevin for help, and every time, Rhea would fling herself into Nevin’s arms in tears.
But he’d never touched her…

Orion thought that meant she’d forgiven him and, sniffing, ran to get his perfect test paper to show Demi.
He looked up at her, waiting for praise. When none came, he was a little disappointed, but soon ran to grab another pile of things.
“Mom, these are gifts for you. And this pencil box-my teacher gave it to me as a prize. I want you to have it too…”
At the table, Rhea’s nails nearly dug into her palms as she watched Orion trying so hard to please Demi.
