If Rhea hadn’t returned, Kate was confident that she could gradually take Rhea’s place in George’s heart.

She opened her eyes and glanced toward the restaurant.

She no longer fantasized about being with George. But now that her dream was shattered, someone had to be held accountable.

She believed that it was only right for Rhea to disappear.

Inside the car, Alfonso let out a sigh five minutes later and said, “Ms. Pearson, you just said that Ms. Ravelle already guessed what you were up to. So…”

Kate had already made up her mind to follow through with her plan.

Rhea’s suspicions in the hospital had indeed been correct. But so what? Even knowing that wouldn’t stop her. She would go ahead anyway.

That very night, Draventh was rocked by shocking news.

“The Ravelle family heiress‘ ex–husband’s twins were poisoned. Ms. Ravelle failed to care for them properly. Even though she knew of a medicine that could save them, she did nothing, and the chairman of Snider Group even sided with her.”

The implication was clear–Rhea and George had both left the children to die.

Netizens were furious.

“They’re just kids. Why drag them into adult grudges?”

“If you can’t take care of them, get lost! Stop pretending to be a perfect mother!”

Someone else commented, “I’ve had enough of this! They always portray the Ravelle lady as loving and devoted. Just because she comes from a powerful family, does that give her a free pass? And what’s the chairman of Snider Group thinking? Has he completely lost his mind?”

Liam glanced at the screen, his expression cold. “Someone’s made a move.”

Night fell.

At 11:00 pm, George stayed with Rhea until she fell asleep. He was neatly dressed and kept his behavior proper.

When she seemed to drift off, he prepared to leave.

Rhea’s voice stopped him. “Where are you going?”

He turned back and approached her. “I have some work to finish. Go back to sleep.”

He pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead.

Rhea’s languid eyes stayed fixed on his face, making it impossible for him to leave.

He suddenly leaned closer and pressed his lips to hers.

The two of them nuzzled close, with George’s hands gripping her waist firmly.

Minutes later, their foreheads rested together.

“Sleep well,” George murmured hoarsely. He had to leave now, or he wouldn’t be able to control himself.

Rhea lay under the blankets, smiling at him as he pulled away.

Once George left, he made a call.
