Nathan's face turned somber. "That's right, you deceived me. You said you weren't from the Bennet family and had grown up out of the country."
Rachel lowered her gaze. "I didn't want to have any connection with the Bennet family anymore. Besides, they told me that they no longer considered me as their daughter, so..."
Nathan's gaze intensified. "So..."
He reached out and lightly flicked Rachel's forehead, then nodded with a smile. "I need to punish you."
Rachel stared cluelessly at Nathan. "What?"
Nathan shook his head. "Alright, I've punished you so you can go back now. Office hours are over, you know."
Rachel was a little shocked. "What?! President Chapman, are you not going to fire me?"
Nathan frowned in confusion. "What, do you want me to fire you?"
Rachel shook her head frantically. "No, no, didn't you say you wanted to punish me?"
Nathan poked Rachel's forehead. "Didn't I already punish you?"
Rachel was so immensely moved that she gave Nathan another bow. "President Chapman, thank you so, so much!"
Nathan shook his head dismissively. "It's fine, don't worry about it."
So she nodded and stepped out of the office. "Alright then, I'll be taking my leave."
After Rachel left, Anne advised, "President Chapman, you should've fired her. If the Bennets make a big deal about it, it would be difficult to handle. Furthermore, Edward is your best friend, whose wife is Rachel's sister."
"If Edward pressured the Chapman Group to deal with it, it would be a difficult situation for us."
Nathan shook his head after briefly squinting in deep thought. "No, Nathan wouldn't help Rue to take action against Rachel, let alone help the Bennets to pressure us. Don't worry."
The moment Ziggy walked out of the lift, he saw Mr. and Mrs. Bennet, who were preparing to enter the lift.
Mrs. Bennet tugged at Mr. Bennet's shirt in surprise. "Look! It's Rachel's son!"
Mr. Bennet looked at Ziggy with the same surprised look on his face. "Oh God!"
'They look so alike, they're practically identical!'
'They're more identical than Rue and Rachel!'
Mr. Bennet squatted beside Ziggy. "Boy, you must be living a tough life following your mother, right?"
Mrs. Bennet smiled at Ziggy as well. "Oh yeah, do you want to live with us? We will treat you nicely, and we can give you a better lifestyle than your mother!"
'If we take the child away from Rachel, even if Edward suspected Rachel to be the one he slept with that night, it'd be futile, right?
Without a child, there would have been no proof of his suspicion.
Rachel's one-sided words would not be able to prove anything.
Ziggy squinted in consideration of something.
"Oh, is it? Can you tell me how you can give me a better life?"
Mr. Bennet lifted his head proudly. "I'm the president of the Bennet Group! My daughter, your Aunt Rue, is the lady owner of Bluemel Inc.! So we can give you a better life with that, can't we?"
