“What are you doing?”

Rachel was lost in thought and was annoyed by the sudden interruption. Why was Kellan treating Cora and her so differently?

Her clear and bright eyes stared at Kellan.

“Why split the work? You work at the café during the day and drive the kids at night. Shouldn’t you be at home with the kids at night?”

His eyebrows raised slightly, and there was a glimmer in his dark eyes.

Rachel rolled her eyes at him. Why was he suddenly concerned about her?

“To make money. In our world of small people, how would you understand?”

Rachel pursed her lips, feeling helpless. Who wouldn’t want to spend more time with their children?

Was this woman only interested in money? But she lived such a difficult life—why didn’t she come to him for help?

“Who’s the kid’s father?”

Kellan narrowed his eyes and deliberately asked, his lips curling.

“The kid’s father disappeared.”

Rachel was stunned for a moment, lowered her eyes, and replied calmly.

She also wanted to know who the father of her child was. When her sister Nora drugged her, she didn’t know whose room she ended up in.

Sometimes when she was sad, she also hated the man who took advantage of her vulnerability.

But who could she blame? Blaming herself, Rachel always blamed herself for her bad luck. Her parents didn’t want her, her grandfather passed away, her aunt and cousin looked down on her and even drugged her. It was ridiculous to think about it. If it weren’t for Cora, she might not have made it this far.

If she told this arrogant man that she didn’t know who the father of her child was, he would only ridicule and despise her. Thinking of this, her heart felt like it had been hit hard.

“Disappeared? Give me a photo of the kid’s father, and I’ll help you find him.”

The man’s eyes narrowed, and his gaze became deeper.

He was standing right in front of her, this foolish woman. Did she forget about him? After that night, she left first in the morning without even looking at him!

Rachel’s face twitched, and she felt suffocated. Where could she find a photo to give him?

“No photos, and I don’t want to look for him.”

Rachel snorted coldly, her eyes icy.

The man’s dignity shattered instantly, but she didn’t even look at him. She never intended to look for him!!!

Kellan’s face turned black as coal in an instant, his dark eyes burning with anger, his cold and stern face exuding a murderous aura as he stood up and walked out.

He really wanted to strangle this heartless woman!!!

The room fell into a dead silence.

Rachel was puzzled. He had finally spoken to her so nicely—why was he angry again?

This man really had some personality disorder. Why was he like this one moment and like that the next?

She furrowed her eyebrows and followed him.

“If I did something wrong, you can tell me. I can change and learn. Don’t get angry so easily.”

It was really scary!

Gael, the assistant of the general manager, was walking towards the office with some documents in his hand. The door to the company was not closed. He saw Rachel running out of the lounge with the CEO and saying those words!

Were they having sex inside? It was really shocking. He stood there awkwardly, wondering whether to go in or not. The documents in his hand were urgent.

Rachel saw someone coming and hurriedly ran back to the sofa. Her face was red, her hair a bit messy. Several employees had come in today and looked at her with similar eyes, but this person seemed even more surprised.

Rachel really didn’t like this feeling. She leaned back on the sofa and squinted her eyes in frustration.

Gael was even more certain now. He broke out in a cold sweat and walked in cautiously, placing the documents on the CEO’s desk carefully. But the CEO’s face was really bad. Was it because he was not satisfied with his posture and was still unsatisfied?

His tightly furrowed brows, icy gaze, and cold aura made it hard for people to breathe.

“Is there anything else the CEO needs? If not, I’ll leave first.”

Gael tried to remain calm, but his hands were already trembling. He wanted to leave, but he didn’t dare.

Kellan lightly tapped Gael, causing him to immediately back away and breathe a sigh of relief. Kellan lowered his head to work on the documents, feeling frustrated that the woman had never thought to find him before. If it weren’t for fate bringing them together again, he wouldn’t even know he had such a lovely daughter.

This woman needed to be punished.

Standing up and striding towards the couch with his long legs, Kellan saw Rachel’s delicate and beautiful features. Her rosy cheeks were like ripe fruit, and her smooth and delicate skin was accentuated by the blue waist-hugging dress she had just bought. Her slender white legs were exposed under the dress, making her even more eye-catching.

Rachel felt a strong presence standing in front of her and suddenly opened her eyes to see Kellan standing there. His handsome and perfect face was terrifyingly cold and sharp under his short black hair. Her heart began to race, wondering what was going on.

“What did you just say?”

The man’s handsome and dangerous face leaned closer to her, his lips almost touching hers. His shirt was half open, revealing his strong chest, and his hand was casually resting on the couch beside Rachel.

Rachel was confused. What did she just say? She was almost falling asleep here. Before this, she had said she could learn and improve—so what was the problem?

“I said I could learn…”

There was no problem, right?

In the next second, the man’s handsome face suddenly pressed down, and his lips kissed her soft lips. Before she could react, his lips and teeth quickly entered her mouth, wildly sweeping away her breath.

“Mmm… let go…”

Rachel wanted to kick him, but he pressed down on her legs with one of his own. He sucked on her fiercely, not letting go no matter how much she struggled. She pounded on his chest, telling him she couldn’t breathe.

The more she struggled, the more he persisted, his mouth still fiercely attacking hers.

Rachel couldn’t bear the wild plundering anymore. With a suffocating sense of overwhelming shame, tears of anger filled her eyes.

Finally, Kellan released her with a hateful grip and gritted his teeth.

“Do you remember now?”

He was referring to that night five years ago—whether she remembered it or not.

How could he humiliate her like this after what she had said?

She collapsed on the sofa, half-dressed, hair disheveled, face flushed, lips swollen to the point of being painful to look at. She glared at him fiercely, tears finally streaming down her face, wiping them away stubbornly.

Rachel didn’t answer him, refusing to show any weakness even if her heart was bleeding. She lifted her head and stared at him defiantly, her gaze sharp as a knife.

Seeing her red eyes, holding back tears, so stubborn and pitiful, his heart clenched. He instinctively wanted to touch her reddened face.

But she recoiled in fear, hugging her legs and biting her lip, burying her head in her knees like a prickly, stubborn creature.

Kellan withdrew his large hand and sat back in his office chair.

Rachel finally breathed a sigh of relief, trembling uncontrollably all over her body.

This woman was the CEO’s kept mistress!

Gael, the gossip, spread the explosive news as soon as he arrived at the office, causing a stir. Even some daring employees peeked their heads out to look at the CEO’s office.

“It’s impossible. Wasn’t this woman just a coffee delivery girl before? How could the CEO keep her? She even has a daughter.”

“This is too unbelievable. The CEO keeps the mother of a child. I really can’t understand his taste.”

“The girl looks a bit like the CEO. Maybe she is his illegitimate daughter. How could the CEO, such a person, possibly raise someone else’s child…”

“She must have used some unsavory means. Otherwise, how could it be possible…”

The voices of speculation, suspicion, and astonishment were about to blow up the entire company.
