At Hudson Pharmaceuticals, Rachel was having a morning meeting when a hurried Casey came in all of a sudden with a worried look. “President Hudson.” “All of you, go on to discuss the plan first.”
Rachel walked to the door. “What’s the matter?”
“A Miss Tuscan came to look for you, and there was a commotion in the lobby downstairs. Our receptionist was afraid that the commotion would turn ugly and provoke criticism, so she arranged for Miss Tuscan to be in the lounge.”
“Okay. Got it.” After saying this, Rachel turned her head and wanted to return to the conference room without even looking anxious at all. “President Hudson.” Casey stopped her and asked, “Aren’t you going to meet her?” “Don’t worry. I haven’t finished the meeting yet, so let her wait.”
“But she said… She said…”
“What did she say?” “She said you hid her fiancé, and if you don’t meet her, she will call the police.”
“Oh, is it so?”
“That is what she said. I told her not to talk nonsense, and that you will be there in a while.” “Then, should I praise you for handling it well?” Rachel’s eyes swept around Casey, causing her to shudder inexplicably.
Following that, Rachel added in a low voice, “Since you have so much free time and even did all the reception work at the front desk, why don’t you finish the job and accompany her to relieve her boredom now?”
She left with these words and entered the conference room without looking back to continue with the meeting. Casey froze at the door for a while. “Why are you still standing here?”
The female assistant at the door glanced at her. “Do you really think that President Hudson can’t see through your little thoughts? We are all working for her, and if you can’t figure out where you stand and keep thinking about crooked methods to promote yourself, do you think President Hudson will see you for what you are worth?”
“Stay on the side. Also, I advise you not to pry any more about Miss Tuscan.”
“Then, are we just going to let her wait there?”
“You don’t need to go. I’ll go.” Everyone in the president’s office knew that Rachel didn’t like Casey, and they also knew the reasons why. After all, Casey was merely working as a spy for Evan and had been telling him things that she shouldn’t-she was really too much.
Ginny waited in the lounge for an hour. “Wow, your President Hudson is really a big shot now, isn’t she? How long have I waited here? Well, if she doesn’t dare to face me and talk here, we’ll just meet at the police station.”
Samantha poured her a cup of tea as an apology. ‘Miss Tuscan, you have misunderstood President Hudson. She is in the morning meeting, and she really can’t leave. Please wait patiently.”
“Wait patiently? If your fiancé has been hidden by another woman, can you wait patiently?” “You’ve been talking about this for a long time, but I still don’t understand. Who exactly is your fiancé? President Hudson’s boyfriend is President Peters, the president of the Burton Group.”
“What a coincidence. My fiancé is Justin Burton, the former president of the Burton Group.” “Ah?” Samantha was slightly taken aback. “Isn’t that our president’s ex-husband?”
When she heard Samantha, Ginny’s face turned blue for a while. Samantha smiled slightly and explained properly, “Everyone in the company knows President Hudson well. If she really wanted to: be with President Burton, she would have been together with him long ago, so why would she hide him? No one will believe what you say.”
“What do you mean? You must’ve been sent by Rachel, right?” “Miss Tuscan, this is Hudson Pharmaceuticals. Of course I was sent by President Hudson.”
“You!” Ginny stood up suddenly in fury. “What are you doing here?” The door to the lounge opened and Rachel’s voice rang from the door. “Ginny Tuscan, are you planning to do something toward my employees in my company?”
Ginny’s raised hand clenched into a fist before she dropped it. While gritting her teeth, she said, “You are finally willing to show your face.” Rachel glanced at Samantha and nodded at her.
Samantha naturally understood and closed the door after her when she went out. As she faced all the gossip heads at the door, Samantha only said coldly, “She is an old customer of President Hudson. She has a bad temper and is a little difficult to deal with. Don’t look and go back to work.”
At this time, in the lounge, Rachel made a gesture of invitation to Ginny. “No need to be so polite, please sit down.” Ginny snorted coldly, “Oh, look who’s acting like the host now. Look, I don’t have time to talk nonsense with you. Where did you hide Justin?”
Justin? Rachel paused as she poured tea, pretending to be puzzled. “If I remember correctly, I went to the summer villa yesterday, but I didn’t see anyone and couldn’t get through. to him on the phone. I should be the one asking you this question instead, but why is it that you’re looking for me now?” “Cut the crap. I have seen the surveillance video of the villa, and it was you who took him away.”
She had expected that Ginny wouldn’t come to her if she didn’t have the proof, but she remained calm. “Since you have watched the surveillance, you should be able to see that I didn’t tie him up, nor did I coerce him. He has hands, and he walked with me by himself. So what makes you think that I hid him?”
“Rachel, I don’t have time to play word games with you here. Since you have divorced him, you have nothing to do with him now. Please don’t interfere in my affairs with him.” “What if I want to intervene no matter what?”
Ginny’s eyes narrowed. “Then, don’t blame me for being rude.” She looked around. She looked through the shutters and her eyes fell onto the cubicles in the office outside. “For such a small company like Hudson Pharmaceuticals, do you think I am capable of making it disappear from Riverdale overnight?”
“Oh, Miss Tuscan, of course you can, provided you have the right of inheritance.” Rachel snorted. “But it’s such a pity, isn’t it? I’m assuming you are in the middle of an inheritance lawsuit right now?”
“He even told you this?” “Do you think there will be any secrets between you and him?” Rachel pushed a document in front of Ginny. “This is what he asked me to pass on to you. You can’t take him with you, but he did his best to help you win the inheritance for the sake of your past friendship.”
Ginny opened the file and glanced at it before the light in her eyes flashed but disappeared quickly. “This is what he found out?” “Hernandez promised to help you with the lawsuit. If everything goes smoothly, at least half of the Tuscan Family’s property will belong to you. You can still be with your boyfriend, as long as you give up half your inheritance.”
Rachel didn’t really want to help Ginny, but it was really annoying to see her in Riverdale. It would be best to get rid of her as soon as possible.
“What if I’m not willing to give up the other half?” Rachel frowned and her eyes narrowed. In the eyes of the woman sitting on the opposite side of her, there was vigorous ambition, and it was far from being able to accommodate the so-called love. In other words, for the sake of this ambition, love could be easily sacrificed at any time.
In the end, Justin still underestimated Ginny. After all, she was not the ten-year-old little girl whom he knew. Ginny placed the document aside, though she did not even thank Rachel for it. Instead, she inched forward. “What will you do if I tell you that I want all of the Tuscan Family’s property, and I want Justin too?”
When Rachel heard that, her hand holding the teacup tightened its grip slightly. “Then, I’ll convey his message to you: don’t throw the helve after the hatchet.”
“Oh, is that so? We’ll see.”
Ginny stood up. Her eyes had long since lost. the anger she had when she first came, and it even made people feel that her emotions were fake. She held up the document in her hand and snorted. “Do you really think that I wouldn’t find all these? But thank you, anyway.”
