Overwhelmed by the Billionaire’s Persistent Pursuit

Chapter 369: Bessie nodded and apologized, "I see, sorry. I wasn't aware." Rachel brushed it off, feigning magnanimity. "No worries. Everything is sorted now." Pointing at Madilyn, Bessie inquired, "Is this lovely lady your daughter-in-law?" "Of course," Cathryn replied, giving Bessie a knowing glance. "Greyson's wife must attend such a significant event tonight." Madilyn felt embarrassed to be misunderstood, but she didn't want to correct them. She longed to be Greyson's wife more than anything. Rachel, noticing Madilyn's discomfort, quickly introduced her to the group.

"She is not my daughter-in-law. She is my niece, and she's an excellent ballet dancer. She used to perform with the Royal Ballet, but now she works at our family's hospital." "I see," Bessie said, smiling awkwardly. "No wonder she's so beautiful and fit." Cathryn covered her mouth in shock. Who would have guessed that Rachel brought her niece instead of her daughter-in-law here? Could this be a sign of a strained relationship between Rachel and her daughter-in-law? Bessie and Cathryn exchanged glances. It seemed they had touched on a sensitive topic.

Candice stood nearby, listening intently to their conversation. Just then, another wealthy woman approached. She was even more affluent than Bessie and Cathryn, adorned with the latest Bvlgari jewelry and carrying a leather handbag. "Rachel, why isn't your daughter-in-law here tonight? She's quite impressive. I heard that the wealthiest man in Ploville has taken a liking to her, and the news has spread throughout the city. You should keep an eye on her." It was Alisson Truman. The Trumans and Harmans were fierce competitors in the biotech industry.

Alisson was not fond of Rachel's haughty attitude, so she deliberately brought up the Harman family's scandal to embarrass Rachel. More books available at gαℓησvℯls․com Rachel's face contorted with anger. She couldn't stand it when someone aired the Harman family's dirty laundry for all to see. Bessie's small eyes narrowed to slits. Alisson's reminder jogged her memory about the scandal involving Mr. Lopez and a married woman. Back then, everyone's attention was on Milton since he had never been seen close to any woman.

However, some discovered that the woman was actually related to the Harman family. Despite this, the story was quickly suppressed and removed from major media platforms. Over time, people slowly forgot about it. Bessie nodded to Cathryn and whispered, "It's true. No wonder." Madilyn intervened just in time to prevent Rachel from losing her cool. She whispered into Rachel's ear, "Don't give them more to gossip about. The Truman family is a competitor that Rey wants to take down. He'll teach them a lesson. They'll come to regret it when they go bankrupt." . . .
