"Nonsense! Of course he is my baby's father. Who else could it be? The whole city knows bloody well Edward is the only man I've ever slept with!"
Luke had handed her the test results, but she didn't believed them for a single second. Edward didn't want to hurt Daisy and so he had forged the report to fool that stupid woman, who was too thick to see the truth. But it didn't mean that she, Jessica, would play their ridiculous game.
"Tsk-tsk! Miss Lin, I think you of all people should know who the father is. Or have you slept with too many men that even you can't be sure, so you make Edward the perfect scapegoat?"
Rain sneered. If it was true that she hadn't slept with anyone except Edward, how could she get pregnant? She must think they were real idiots.
"You..." Enraged, Jessica raised her hand and swung it at Rain's face. Never in her life had she been so vilely treated and Rain was the first one who dared throw insults in her face.
"So are you getting angry because you feel guilty and ashamed? Trying to lash out at me?" Rain caught hold of her wrist firmly. Had she really thought about it before she acted? She couldn't expect him to stand there to take the slap, could she?
"Let go of me! How dare you insult me like this?" Stung by his harsh words, Jessica felt the heat rise in her, her whole body trembling like a leaf in the wind.
"Miss Lin, the only reason I show you any respect is because your father was my business partner for many years and I feel it a professional courtesy. But it doesn't mean you can do whatever you want."
Rain flung her hand away roughly, and a hint of disgust crossed his eyes. His pretty face was hard and tight, darkened with icy cruelty.
"Don't take yourself too seriously. I don't need your revolting courtesy. It's an utter disgrace just to stand
He was just using Jessica to get rid of those women. This was the only reason Edward kept her at his side for so long.
Tired, Rain sank into his chair, frowning. He had a pretty large workload already before taking over Edward's work. He was praying he would not work himself to death before Edward returned to work from the hospital.
His musings were ended by a crisp rap on his door. The door opened, Anna and Aaron came in. Anna, of course, was the one who knocked. Aaron had Rain's character and in his opinion the door was only a tool to lock things away.
"Make it quick. I have too much going on right now." Impatiently Aaron rolled his eyes at Rain, wondering what Rain was up to and why Rain summoned him all of a sudden.
"Edward was seriously wounded yesterday, and he's still in critical condition, " Rain said in a calm tone, not caring how his words would surprise them.
"Damn it Rain! That's not funny!" For a moment, Aaron didn't seem to understand what Rain was saying. Rain's face betrayed no hint of a smile. Maybe he wasn't joking. But just a while ago, Aaron had received the bill from the auction, showing Edward had spent tons of money last night. How could he get hurt suddenly?
