Overwhelmed by the Billionaire’s Persistent Pursuit

Chapter 373: The thought of speaking out terrified Cathryn. She didn't want to upset Erica, so she kept nodding. What Erica said made a lot of sense. The importance of moral development and upbringing was undeniable. Alisson, in particular, took great pleasure in Rachel's apparent humiliation. Even more, she added, "Rachel, you are always willing to share your views. Don't you feel like making a comment today? You do agree with Mrs. Lopez, don't you?" Rachel glared at Alisson. Erica spoke to Rachel in an icy tone. "One man's meat is another man's poison.

You should take care of your family matters immediately. Try not to keep me waiting too long, please. If you do, I swear there will be no place for you in the aristocracy of Ploville." Erica then strutted haughtily past Rachel. Erica's imposing presence pushed Rachel back a few steps, leaving her looking utterly disgraced.

Cathryn and Bessie quickly backed away. Cathryn offered a quick apology before hurrying off alongside Bessie. Alisson sneered and mocked Rachel. "Looks like bitches really do have their own fate." "What did you say?" Rachel seethed with anger, wanting nothing more than to tear Alisson apart. But since they were in a public place, all she could do was watch her leave arrogantly.

When only Madilyn and Rachel remained, the atmosphere became even more awkward and tense. Word of the incident spread like wildfire among the women, with someone overhearing just a few words from bystanders and quickly spreading them around. . . .
