Wanted: Billionaire's Wife And Their Genius Twin Babies novel Chapter 71

Rachel wiped away Jodie's tears as she tensed her lips.

"It's okay, it's okay. We don't care about him anyway! Jodie, you're cute and beautiful, plenty of men adore you!"

Jodie shook her head and sat beside Rachel, clutching to her arm as she shivered.

"No! No, I can't help liking him. It's been so many years. I've liked him for more than a decade, how can I let it go just like that..."

Rachel soothed Jodie on her back. "You must remember though, you're Ian's sister. I don't think your parents can accept this relationship, can they?"

Jodie smiled bitterly. "That's right, I'm his sister. He reminds me that a lot too, we're siblings. But I'm not his sister by blood! I'm the Comers' foster daughter! Why can't we be together?!"

Rachel covered Jodie's mouth lightly. "Jodie, stop. We're in public. The rest of the world cannot know about your relationship with the Comers, remember?"

Jodie pressed Rachel's hand lightly. She looked slightly put out. "Of course I feel put upon, Rachel. You know, I really do like Ian very much."

Rachel rubbed Jodie's head. "I know. Okay, let's not talk about this now. Let's go home, Jodie. You're drunk and you shouldn't drink anymore."

As she was helping Jodie up, several men without a partner rounded them up.

The three men looked at Rachel and Jodie with very lecherous looks.

"Pretty lady, where are you going?"

"Do you not have a partner? Do you mind if we joined you?"

"That's right. I saw the blue mask leaving with another woman."

"Right, let's have some fun. Even if we're having too much fun, we might not need to leave tonight. There are rooms just upstairs!"

Irritated by the men, Rachel frowned. "Excuse us, my friend is not feeling well, we're not in the mood for anything fun."

Seeing as Rachel and Jodie were going to leave, the three men surrounded them.

"Don't go, since your friend is not feeling well, she should rest!"

"We've already booked a room upstairs. Let's go, we'll accompany you to rest there."

"That's right, the ball is finishing soon anyway. Why don't you rest here and leave tomorrow?"

However, seeing the crooked grin on the three men's faces made Rachel frown even harder.

With drunk Jodie in her arms, she took a few tiny steps back unhappily.

Moreover, it would be difficult for them to escape the three thugs with Jodie’s state.

"Don't you dare do anything, this is Edward Bluemel's ball!"

Rachel looked at the people around them as a hint of disappointment crept onto her face.

In this time when they needed help most, the many people in the ball pretended not to notice them.

Willful ignorance might be the coldest a human heart could get.

The three men shrugged without care at Rachel's threat.

"So what if it is? Edward Bluemel is not a nosy person."

"That's right, so what if Edward Bluemel is here now? Will he save you?"

"Who do you think you are? Lady, you lack self-awareness. Do you really think Edward Bluemel will stand against us just for a woman like you?"

Rachel pressed her lips together and considered her options.

'They're right.'

Thud, thud, thud— they thumped their heads loudly on the ground.

Rachel took a step back as if she was afraid their blood might spill onto her.

"It's okay, that's okay, stop knocking your heads, stand up."

Even though Rachel had already spoken out, the three men acted like they did not hear her as they continued to hammer their heads on the ground.

Rachel slowly looked over to Edward who placed his hands in his pocket.

'These men aren't afraid of me, they are afraid of Edward.'

Noticing Rachel's gaze, Edward nodded at her. "No need to thank me."

...

Rachel rolled her eyes at Edward.

Everyone in the ball had been attracted by the ruckus.

Around them, the people were regretting their non-action. If they knew she was Nathan's date, they would have helped her.

They might even get on Nathan and, in turn, Edward's good side!

"Edward Bluemel, get them to stand up! I can't stand this!"

Fed up with the display, Rachel requested.

Edward narrowed his eyes coldly. "If someone made a mistake and doesn't pay for it, there will not be a rule of law."

Rachel looked at the slightly-bloodied floor. "Humans were the ones who set the rule of law. Furthermore, it's enough to have enough. If they continue to do this, it would dirty the floor with blood!"
