I Quit Being a Stepmother (Cypress Gem) novel Chapter 340

Chapter 340

The winter wind brushed against Rhea’s face, lifting strands of her long hair.

As she looked up at George, her eyes sparkled with a teasing edge. “So, in your eyes, I’m someone who gives up on a relationship that easily?”

People naturally had emotional responses to people or things they cared about. But Cynthia wasn’t someone Rhea cared about, so whether she liked her or not didn’t matter to her.

She would understand if George eventually decided to end things because of his family. Yet at the same time, she would feel that such a person wasn’t worthy of her trust.

She believed obstacles existed to be overcome. If they couldn’t be, then it was simply fate not being

on their side.

“No. I’m just worried you’ll get angry,” George said.

Although this relationship had begun opportunistically, Rhea was now his girlfriend. He wouldn’t let go of her, and no one could stop him,

He held Rhea’s hand. “Let’s go.”

They got into the car.

Rhea gazed out the window.

Before leaving, Liam had sent her a message. He had seen the news article the moment it was released and had asked Arthur to trace the media outlet that published it.

After all, in Draventh, almost no media dared to report on the Ravelle family without permission.

But this time, the mastermind behind it had some resources, and Liam hadn’t identified them immediately. To prevent the situation from escalating, he sought help from Arthur.

The affairs of the Snider family were rarely known outside, and Cynthia would never have shared her feelings with anyone outside.

But when Kate left yesterday, she casually mentioned visiting Cynthia.

Rhea analyzed the situation. She was unsure whether Kate had mentioned it to Marcus casually or

was deliberately trying to make her feel something.

In any case, Kate went to see Cynthia. It was well known in the Draventh high society that Cynthia had always wanted Kate to be her daughter–in–law.

At this thought, Rhea asked George, “Was Kate at your house yesterday?”

George tightened his grip on her hand. “Yeah. My mom had her stay for dinner.”

So George knew who had spread the news that day.

Rhea fell silent after George confirmed it. It turned out that it really was Kate who had tipped Marcus

off.

Marcus had always been close with Carter. With Kate’s actions, it was clear that she no longer cared about their friendship.
