Overwhelmed by the Billionaire’s Persistent Pursuit

Chapter 70: Rachel cocked an eyebrow and gave a stern warning. "Don't kid yourself into thinking that a little assistance from you will sway Greyson's mind. Take my word for it and act your best. I have pictures of you, so don't forget that part." A little assistance? With an amused grin, Candice said, "Well, I'll tell you what: The Harman name will suffer if those pictures get out there. Just what exactly should I be so scared of, if you don't mind telling me?" "How could you!" With her hand raised, Rachel clearly intended to slap Candice across the face.

Slapping someone in public, however, was not something a lady like her should do. "What have you just thrown in your bag? Take it out. We have witnessed it!" Rachel snapped. Candice frowned and stated, "A simple work-related document. My gut tells me I shouldn't let you see it. Please clear the way if there's nothing else." Too bad for her, Rachel stood in her way and yelled, "I must have a look at it. You must be up to no good, given that you're so sneaky." "Really, what's up with you? The Harmony Hospital has recently been reclaimed.

Please, in your free time, pay attention to your errant spouse, as he may once again make a deal with the hospital. Next time, redeeming it will be harder!" Candice said, looking askance at Rachel. "I'm going to rip your lips off, you bitch!" Rachel got furious. She wanted to rush up and smash Candice, but Madilyn was holding her back. "Take it easy, Auntie," Madilyn consoled Rachel, then glared menacingly at Candice. Of course, Madilyn would be happiest if things between Candice and Rachel were much tenser. But Candice was unwilling to engage with them.

She briskly walked past them and out of the hospital. To her, Rachel was quite indecent. Candice's mind drifted to Milton's mother, who was full of nobility, grace, and a kind disposition. She was the true definition of a lady. She was thousands of times better than Rachel in every way. Milton's future wife would be the happiest woman. Candice shook her head in disbelief at the thought. How could she possibly draw any parallels between the two? That was just absurd!

Rachel said to Madilyn after watching Candice leave, "Why did you stop me just now?" Find the latest at gαℓησvєℓs․cøm "Remember that Candice is an attorney, Auntie. The hospital lobby is monitored by security cameras. If we make the first move, she will bite back violently. If that happens, Rey will blame us." Madilyn had experienced such setbacks on several occasions, prompting her to become cautious. What was more, they wouldn't stand a chance if they fought Candice. She had learned from the goons she had hired that Candice had been a Taekwondo practitioner.

Something struck Madilyn at that moment. She rolled her eyes before inquiring, "Auntie, you must know the hospital's director, right? We should investigate what Candice has been up to in the hospital, shouldn't we?" Rachel replied, "I know him, but we haven't spoken in more than ten years," with an embarrassed expression on her face. "That's not the case anymore. Since Harmony Hospital has been reclaimed, the hospitals in Ploville will all show you some respect," Madilyn urged. Something about Candice didn't sit right with her, or so her intuition told her.

About an hour later, with the help of the hospital's director, Rachel got Candice's test result. "HCG? Just what is this, exactly?" Rachel didn't know what to make of it. Madilyn dragged Rachel into a corner and said, "Oh my God, Candice is pregnant!" her eyes wide with shock. The statement really floored Rachel. Pregnant? At this very moment, Madilyn's anger had her fuming. "I thought Rey had never slept with her. I was unprepared for her to be carrying his baby." Greyson's baby? Rachel was really confused.

Because Greyson despised Candice beyond measure, she had always assumed he would never touch her. "Would it be the child of that man on the night of the wedding?" Rachel asked. She thought back to that morning when she discovered something was wrong with Candice and how she had immediately gone to the hotel room to punish her. . . .
