Wanted: Billionaire's Wife And Their Genius Twin Babies novel Chapter 69

When Rachel turned around, she immediately felt that her hands were grabbed by two different people.

Different hands, and different warmth.

On one hand, it was a piercing chill, and on the other hand, it was a warming affection.

Nathan and Edward looked at each other awkwardly.

After a second contact with Rachel, Edward was sure about one thing.

His body did not reject the woman in front of him.

Strangely, if he did sleep with Rue that night, why would his body reject Rue?

Rachel glared at both of the men with dismay as she pulled both her hands out.

Nathan smiled stiffly. "Rachel, it's not as safe as you think. Don't go alone."

Rachel shook her head. "Don't worry, I'm just looking for someone I know."

Leaving the words behind, Rachel turned around and disappeared into the crowd.

Nathan took a step forward in pursuit but was held back by Edward.

"Edward, don't hold me back. It's not safe for her to go alone."

Edward did not let go of Nathan's arm. "What is her name?"

Nathan was a little startled and then he looked at Edward cautiously. "Edward, what are you doing? Don't you remember what you said about Rachel the other day? Are you telling me that you're interested now?"

Nodding, Edward replied bluntly, "Yes, I am."

A swathe of anger colored Nathan's face red as he pulled his arm from Edward's hand.

"You're interested?! Edward, you were the one who said she approached me with a specific purpose! Also, don't forget you have a family!"

Edward looked at him darkly. "A family? I only recognize my child. As for the woman, I think you know how I feel about her."

Nathan scoffed coldly. "So what about it? Let me tell you, no matter how interested you are, stop it. I will not tell you her name."

Seeing Nathan's persistence, Edward smiled wickedly. "You have always listened to my opinions since young. And now you're going against me because of a woman?"

"So what? I will not let go of Rachel! She's unbelievably talented in designing, I need her in my company."

Nathan responded firmly.

Edward shrugged. "You know saying that will only reaffirm my desire to hire her in my company, right?"

Nathan rolled his eyes at Edward. "Hire her? Your company deals with technological products, and her specialty is fashion design! Those are two very different industries!"

Edward shrugged callously. "That's alright. I can have her design the products' appearance. It's not that big of a difference really."

Nathan roared, "Edward, are you seriously looting talent from me?"

Edward blinked coolly. "She's not yours. It's her freedom to choose as she likes."

Nathan was not confident.

His company was the second-largest firm in the Orange Country, and plenty of people would love the opportunity to work in his company. However, being in the second place would also mean that there would always be someone better than him.

At the top was Edward's, who was his close friend since they were kids.

Presented with a choice like that, most people would likely choose to enter Edward's company without hesitation, right?

'So what will Rachel do...'

Sensing Edward's confidence, Nathan gritted his teeth sorely.

Though when everyone saw Rue leaving the venue with a masked man, the discussions in the hall intensified.

"Mrs. Bluemel is such a shameless person!"

Unlocking it, Ziggy tapped on an app that has access to the AKK site.

Soon after, he was able to see the entire ballroom with a bird's eye view.

His phone was showing the image transmitted from Coccinelle.

Quickly, Ziggy scanned the crowd on his phone but was unable to see Jodie.

Just as he was feeling a little disappointed, a streak of blue caught his attention.

He whispered into the ring. "Coccinelle, go back two hundred meters."

As he had guessed, he saw Jodie drinking herself silly in the corner.

He quickly skittered toward Jodie's location as he saw a pretty woman in a white mask heading the same way.

Ziggy stopped quickly. The familiar figure instantly brightened his mood.

'Mommy!'

He hid behind the curtains of the ballroom window and frowned.

He could not let his mother find out that he had come to the ball, or she would be worried.

However, seeing Jodie and Rachel together, the excitement in Ziggy's eyes eventually faded.

'Aunt Jodie drank a lot, so mommy probably wouldn't stay in here for long either.'

'I have to get home before mommy, or it would be difficult to explain everything.'

Ziggy pressed his lips tightly as he saw Jodie drinking her heart out,

'Aunt Jodie, don't worry. I will avenge you!'
