A Moment in Destiny
Chapter 929 Asking Too Much

'If I really love another man, why would I be with him? Doesn't he know that a woman's heart and her body have the same mind?' Rae thought to herself. Rae stopped talking to Marcel, she felt that it was very hard to communicate with him.

But she also understood something.

The issue between Marcel and her was because she had been asking too much.

She had taken charge of the tempo that Marcel was supposed to take charge in now. It was definite that Marcel would feel upset.

Yes, she was not stupid, she didn't know what Marcel was up to but the reason that Marcel lived with her could not be that he loved her!

She was just going with his plan and made herself happy.

Now, both of them were just similar. Although Rae felt sad and relax at the same time.

She never held any hope when she loved him so she wouldn't ask for anything from him either.

Rae just wanted him to only have her while he was living with him, only wanted him to be faithful in this relationship.

Rae walked out.

But Marcel took a bigger step and walked out from the bedroom faster than her.

Marcel was walking so fast that Rae felt a slight breeze on her face. Rae was still stunned but Marcel had already opened the door and walked out from the room. Marcel seemed to be angry, he was so angry that he didn't know what to do, so he could only walk out like this.

Marcel shut the door, the whole room became quiet.

Rae smiled bitterly, she didn't have any thoughts, she cleaned herself up and took some of her things and left Intercontinental Century City to go to work.

On her way to work, she received a call from Ophelia, Ophelia asked her, "Do you know that I'm involved in Karina's case?"

Rae replied on the phone, "I know!"

"I might be in trouble!" Ophelia said in a tired tone, "Why the hell did I give Karina that liquor? Besides, I had an issue with her before this!"

"Ophelia, I know you are innocent!" Rae answered.

"There's no use even if you knew it! I need evidence now, evidence!"

"Didn't Marcel already let you go?"

"Sigh! It is hard to describe with words! That's because of Reuben's lawyer, his lawyer is really amazing!" Ophelia said.

"I will help you with all my might!" Rae promised her sincerely.

"Rae, you are the best!"

Rae remembered the Garbassi's warning, that must be Marcel's work. She didn't say anything about it, she only said she would help Ophelia and didn't say anything else! But, she could try to get some information from her.

So Rae asked Ophelia, "Is your relationship with Reuben good?"

"It's just so-so, we meet twice a week, and have fun twice a week!" Ophelia said, "Forget it, come to me, I have important things to tell you!"

Rae quickly got a taxi to meet Ophelia, when both of them settled down, only then Ophelia said, "I sort of know who did this to me this time!"

"Who?" Rae asked.

"Stefan!"

"Why?"

"I think he wanted to break up with Karina, but he looked down on me, he didn't think that I would be somebody important to Reuben, he was using someone else to trick me!" Ophelia thought deeply, "Damn it! Stefan, this bastard, he wanted me to die, he tricked me!"

Rae was very shocked, "What you said makes sense too! What you are suspecting could be right!"

Ophelia saw that Rae wasn't too confident with her answer, she said in a loud voice, "Of course! When I was in school, I wanted to be a police officer, but I didn't enrol into the Police Academy, I truly regretted it! Rae, what do you mean? I said I suspect him, why aren't you supportive enough?"

Rae opened her hands and said, "My dear Ophelia, what's the use of suspecting him? The most important thing is the evidence!"

Ophelia shrugged her shoulders after hearing what Rae said, "I don't have evidence either! We are just guessing everything, sigh! The police officer who is investigating the case also uses logic and reasoning to solve the case, right? The reasoning I gave isn't wrong either. I also give logical reasoning, I also give out his motive and tricks he used to do this, I am almost as good as Sherlock Holmes!"

Rae didn't have the mood to joke around with her, "I want to meet Reuben, I wonder if I'd get the chance to meet him?"

Ophelia was stunned, "Why would you want to know that asshole?"

"To investigate the case!" Rae replied calmly, "Not just him, I also wanted to meet Stefan, I wanted to know everyone in James family!"

Ophelia looked at Rae in a suspicious way, "Is this what you want to do or what Marcel wants to do?"

"Why did you ask like this?" Rae didn't answer her, she asked instead.

Ophelia sat on the sofa with her leg crossed, "If this is what you want to do, I will introduce him to you, but if this is what Marcel wants to do, then I don't really want to introduce him to you. Rae, you know how deep our friendship is, I just didn't want you to be used by Marcel!"

Rae was a bit stunned.

It turned out she was thinking too much, she felt that since she became Rae, she became too sensitive, she felt that everyone was suspicious all the time.

She felt sorry because she thought too much. She looked at Ophelia and said, "No matter if it's his idea or mine, or anyone in my team, we just wanted to solve the case as soon as possible! You would also clear your name by then, there wouldn't be any problem anymore."

Ophelia's relaxed face slowly faded away, she didn't become more relax because of Rae's words. After a while, she said, "Rae, James family isn't as simple as you think! James family is still good at managing their own family. Reuben is very hard to predict. If it's just him, it is still alright, and his father, who is very experienced in this, he is too smart and cunning. He is almost at the devil level, people call him a legend who never lose, you won't have anything left if he goes after you!"

Rae wanted to say something, then she heard a voice from behind, "I don't know that I am such a person in your eyes. As well as my father, he is an old devil? Ophelia, you are truly something."

His voice sounded very good, the voice tone was like a diamond, but it was like a diamond in a cold snowy land. He seemed like a very cold person.

Rae immediately felt that Ophelia's body became stiff, she quickly turned around and saw a man changing his shoes by the door.

Rae could only see his back, it looked very broad. He was wearing a suit, his body looked tall and slender.

Rae knew that this man was Reuben even without guessing. She only heard about Reuben but never met him. Rae only heard about him and how he was smart in planning. Reuben only came back in less than two years, but he already had his own company and also worked as a vice president in YS Club. That time, Rae thought it was normal for a person like him to have a few identities.

Ophelia didn't say anything. At that time, Reuben turned around, only then Rae saw Reuben's face.

Reuben had a pair of deep and attractive eyes, inner double eyelids. His eyes weren't too big but they looked deep. When he looked at somebody, it felt as if he saw through that person. His face also looked tough, it was very clear that he wasn't a person that was easy to deal with! However, it was obvious that Reuben was also a man with high potential, he could even be compared with Marcel! Ophelia called this man an asshole? Looked like she wasn't wrong either!

Rae felt that she suddenly was in a weaker position in front of Reuben!

That was why Ophelia had been kept by his side for so long.

"Why would you suddenly come?" Ophelia finally spoke, she seemed to be still puzzled with his appearance here, "Didn't you say you wouldn't come this week?"

"If I didn't come, would you continue to talk about me and even scold my father?" Reuben said coldly, he already walked towards Ophelia. He didn't even look at Rae, it seemed like he just ignored the presence of Rae.

Rae felt quite awkward. She felt like she was stuck in between a fighting couple, no matter what she did, nothing would be right!

"Scold your father? Yes, I did!" Ophelia didn't feel scared now, she stood up and held her waist with both her hands. She glared at Reuben, "Reuben, let me tell you something, I have already held my temper towards your family for some time, your father got me so many troubles, why can't I complain about him! Hear me out, if you made me angry, I would do something that is out my mind!"

Reuben looked at her, his eyes didn't blink. After a long time, he said calmly, "Only a crazy person would lose her mind, do you want to be crazy?"

"Bastard! Who did you call a crazy person?" Ophelia stomped towards him and stopped in front of him.

Reuben reached out his arms and pushed Ophelia onto the sofa.

Then Reuben looked at Rae and said, "You are Miss Baxter, right? This is a house of a normal citizen, it's not an interrogation room of your unit. What did you want to know when you came here? Why don't you just ask me! I heard that you want to get to know me? Miss Baxter, I am not interested! Now, you can leave!"

Rae couldn't help but to shiver when she heard her name being called with that voice. Also, she didn't expect Reuben to ask her to leave.

"Bastard, Rae is my friend and this is my house!" Ophelia jumped up from the sofa and stood in front of Rae to protect her, "You leave now!"

"You even belong to me, what do you think about this house?" Reuben looked at Ophelia from sideways and said, "We want to do some intimate sports, does Miss Baxter want to stay here to watch us?" After Reuben said this, it was not just Ophelia who blushed, Rae also blushed.

This man, he really....

Rae realized she couldn't even find a suitable word to describe Reuben.

She felt that Reuben always does unexpected moves. How could he talk about such a thing in front of an outsider? What position did he put Ophelia at?

Rae started to worry about Ophelia now!

"Ophelia, I'll go home first, let's chat next time!" Rae didn't want Ophelia to feel troubled.

But Ophelia stopped her and wouldn't let her go.

Now she looked like a wounded small animal, she glared to fight the hunter.

Reuben didn't say anything, he just sat on the sofa and crossed his legs. He looked at them.

Even though he was sitting down and looked shorter than them, his aura was still strong. He made them feel a bit terrified. Even though Ophelia was usually a tough and masculine woman, she still felt a bit scared at this moment.

Rae thought inside her heart, "What exactly is this Reuben? Who is he? Also, she hasn't even introduced herself but he already knows who she is." When Rae thought about it, she felt that he was scary. At this moment, Reuben raised his eyebrows and looked at Rae, "Miss Baxter didn't want to leave, so do you want to do threesome with us?"

No matter how thick-skinned Rae was, she couldn't stay there any longer. Her face was blushing red. Rae thought to herself, "But what if Ophelia gets bullied by him?"

Rae was a person who would be tough and strong for her friends. At this moment, she didn't care about how terrified she felt, she suddenly raised her chin and looked at Reuben. She said, "I know Mr. James has many ways and tricks, I didn't even introduce myself but you already know my name. Today Mister James said something shocking to intimidate me. But Karina's case is related to Ophelia and I am her friend, so I want to know more information to help Ophelia, since she somehow got involved in this case!"

"Friend?" Reuben suddenly smiled. He refused to hear this word, "From what I understand, both of you only know each other for a week, is your friendship deep enough for you to stand up for her?"☐☐☐
