Wanted: Billionaire's Wife And Their Genius Twin Babies novel Chapter 83

The old butler sighed. "Young Master Josh, you are a wise kid. Something like this should not have fallen onto someone your age."

Josh shook his head lightly. "It's nothing. Don't let my father know about this. Also, please pass me a couple of ice packs."

'I have to make these marks fade before my father comes back.'

The old butler nodded. "Yes, Young Master Josh."

Rue locked her door. Thinking about the woman who was conversing with Edward had given her a headache.

However, if she wanted to investigate that woman, she could not ask the Bennets to do it for her.

If the Bennets knew about this, they would begin to question her value in the family again.

At this point, Rue called Ian on the phone.

The moment the call was picked up, Ian's cheerful voice greeted her, "Rue, what made you call me?"

Rue narrowed her eyes and asked in a hushed tone, "Ian, can you do me a favor?"

Ian paused. "Rue, isn’t the money enough? I can take more out of my company..."

Rue shook her head as if Ian could see her. "No, I just wanted you to investigate someone for me."

"Investigate someone? Who is it?"

"It's Nathan Chapman's date from yesterday's ball."

"Nathan Chapman's date? Rue, why do you want to investigate that woman?"

"It's because my dad wants to work with Nathan Chapman, so he wants to curry favor with his date. He wants to find out which family she came from."

"Oh, no worries, just leave it to me. When I have news, I will let you know immediately."

"Alright. Thank you, Ian. You have been by my side every time I needed you."

After they hung up, Rue raised her head dispassionately.

"I want to see who you are since you have such the ability to flirt with my husband!"

As Rue looked at the photos in her hands, the envy and hatred became apparent in her eyes.

She was publicly embarrassed without anyone to help her! Why would Edward intervene in a simple encounter with discomforting men for the woman in the photo?!

'What is happening?'

She looked at the photo, in which Nathan's date was propping a woman in blue gown up. The blue-gowned woman kept her face lowered, so Rue could not see her mask and could not have guessed who she was.

However, any woman who tried to grab Edward from her would suffer her wrath!

Rachel looked up from her desk to see eight women gathered in front of her.

She looked at them blankly. "Is there something I can help you with?"

The eight women huffed. "What is your relationship with President Chapman?"

Rachel frowned slightly. "A normal employer-employee relationship. Is there anything else? If there isn't, I would like to focus on my work."

They huffed again as they crossed their arms and stared at Rachel with disgust.

"Normal employer-employee relationship? I think she climbed up the ranks with indecent practice."

After everyone had left her workspace, Rachel wiped the water droplets off her face with a tissue.

She then folded the tissue into a ball and held it in her hand. 'I have to become strong! I cannot stay in such a submissive position time and time again!'

In the president's office, Nathan picked up Edward's call disgruntledly. As he recalled the tiny fugue before he had hung up on Edward, he felt a little guilty.

"Edward, aren't you busy? You kept interrupting my work."

Edward's cold-as-ice voice replied in a way that sent chills down Nathan's spine.

"That woman said that about me, how do you think I should destroy her?"

Nathan's brows were pulled together slowly. "No! You can't touch her, she didn't mean it."

Nathan was a little flummoxed himself. It should be Rachel's second time meeting Edward at the ball. Their first encounter was when they were in the car...

He did not know why Rachel would harbor such hostility against Edward within just a few encounters.

Even though he was secretly happy about it...

"After all, Edward, all the women in the world love you. Only she gave you the cold shoulder, so let her go so I can pursue her."

Yet Edward did not give room for negotiation. "Can't. As you said, all the women in the world love me. I want to see what is wrong with this one who dares to give me a cold shoulder!"

Nathan squinted. "So, you're saying that we'll be romantic rivals from now on?"

"I am looking forward to it," Edward replied.

The two men were in different places, but their rivalry had sparked.
