A Moment in Destiny
Chapter 932 Tactful

"What are you sorry for?" Ophelia patted Rae disapprovingly, "How our friendship could be ruined for a bad man, it's not worth it! We don't have to be polite to this bastard Reuben! I've known him well enough!" "But you seem to be very afraid of him!" This was what Rae was worried about.

"That's because I'm afraid that he'll abuse me when I'm sleeping." Ophelia blushed as she said, "You don't know about this man, he's so tactful. He's a brute!"

Rae blushed. She was immediately alerted when she thought of both of them were still standing on the stairs, "Here's not a good place to talk!"

"Yes! Let's go down!" Ophelia pulled her hand and they went downstairs.

When they reached the seventh floor, a tall man was standing there. He raised his head and looked at them with his sharp eyes.

Rae and Ophelia were both startled, and their eyes widened at the same time.

"Reuben?" Ophelia subconsciously called out, "Aren't you on the ninth floor?"

Reuben slowly raised his head. His sight swept over from Rae's face to Ophelia's face, paused for a while before returned to Rae's face. He looked at Rae with an inscrutable look, and his tone sounded like that he was saying this to Rae purposely. "If I'm still on the ninth floor, how can I hide from those entertainment reporters? Not to mention hearing such a wonderful conversation!"

Rae was shocked, and her heart was beating so fast.

'Does it mean that Reuben heard all the conversations?'

Rae thought this in her mind, but she soon dismissed this idea. He might not have heard all the conversations, and he should only hear a part of it.

However, a part of it was enough to terrify her.

Rueben was really scary. He came down to the seventh floor without being seen by anyone and blocked them here. They didn't know how he got down as if he came out of nowhere.

"So what if you heard it?" Ophelia saw that Rae suddenly stopped talking, and she assumed that Rae was guilty. So, she spoke first to give Rae a break, so that Rae could deal with this sharp and fierce man later. "It's rude and immoral for you to eavesdrop. I can't imagine that the vice president of YS Club has such moral qualities and dares to show off!"

Although Ophelia's tone was contemptuous, her heart trembled. However, Reuben didn't care what Ophelia said, not even answering her words. He just narrowed his eyes and looked at Rae, giving an impression of being inscrutable.

Rae also didn't answer Reuben's words. In Rae's opinion, the more she said, the more information would be revealed. Therefore, it was better to keep silent at this moment. She took Ophelia's hand and said, "Ophelia, let's go down. How was the situation with the fire now?!"

Ophelia nodded her head and prepared to go down.

Unexpectedly Reuben suddenly said, "Rae, I'll go to your house to meet Leonard in these few days and talk about our engagement!"

Rae obviously froze, but she didn't answer his words.

In these five years, Leonard hadn't mentioned this engagement. So, Rae also didn't know what was going on. She was stunned when she suddenly heard this news.

When they passed Reuben, he was smiling and looking at Rae. The glint in his eyes made Rae's heart tremble.

He was looking at her as if she was prey. He was a formidable person, just like Marcel.

However, Rae ignored him and pulled Ophelia out of there.

When they went downstairs, they saw the fire was burning fiercely with black smoke coming out. The fire was burning more and more furiously as if it couldn't be extinguished. The firefighters downstairs were doing their best to put off the fire. They had a little difficulty doing so because the fire was on a higher floor.

Rae lowered her voice and said, "This is too dangerous. You must never go to such extremes again in the future. In case you are charged with intentional arson, the police will open a case to investigate it!" Ophelia stuck her tongue out and scolded, "Shit! How can it be so fast? I've dealt it carefully! But it has been out of my control!"

Rae shook her head.

When she looked back at Ophelia, she noticed that Ophelia didn't look well. She knew it was because Reuben had just said he wanted to go to Rae's house to talk about their engagement. Although she couldn't guess what was on Reuben's mind, she could tell that Ophelia was affected.

Rae opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to comfort Ophelia, because no matter what she said now, it wouldn't change the current tricky situation.

Rae didn't know how Reuben left the place, and she hadn't seen him come out from there. But there was now no one in the building, so maybe he came out through another exit.

By the time the firefighters put off the fire, it was eleven o'clock at noon. Rae looked at her watch, and she was already few hours late, so she wasn't in a hurry.

Marcel hadn't called her either. Rae looked at her phone a few times, but each time she was frustrated.

Almost everything in Ophelia's house had burned down!

Rae asked her, "What's your plan? Where are you going to stay?"

Ophelia looked at the sky and let out a deep sigh. The words that came from her mouth were so mournful, "The world is so big, there must be a place for me, right?"

Rae understood Ophelia's feelings, then she asked her, "With so many things burned, were there any very important ones? What about your personal documents?"

Ophelia suddenly laughed, then turned around to look at Rae, "Bah! Do you realize that? The things you used to cherish and be careful with, you're afraid of losing them, or how, and now, it's been burned in a fire, and that's it. Sometimes, people can't let go of something, and it makes them overcautious. When the thing is really burned, that's just how it is!"

Rae nodded her head. It was true, but she was just a little sad. Especially when she saw Ophelia's current condition, she was even sadder.

She softly comforted her, "Maybe you'll get better after you lost all your hope. Until then, you are always afraid of everything. You will be able to act freely since you have nothing to worry about!"

Ophelia looked at Rae and smiled. The smile was so bright. She nodded fiercely, "Don't worry, I still have a place to stay. I've rented that place. The place here is belonged to Reuben! Now, I think it's time for me to go back to there!"

"Ophelia!" Rae called out her name.

Instead, Ophelia patted her hand and reassured her, "It's ok, don't worry, I'm fine. This is between me and Reuben. Even though it's related to Rae, it has nothing to do with you. Don't worry, I can tell the difference! But what if Marcel knows about it?"

Rae froze there for a moment.

Marcel was already suspecting her, and now, if Reuben really went to the Baxter residence and said about the engagement, then that time...

Rae really dared not to think about it.

As she was thinking, her phone rang. She was happy as she thought it was Marcel. But when she took out the phone, she was slightly stunned and a little frustrated. The call wasn't from Marcel but Mrs. Baxter. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

After a moment of hesitation, she picked up the phone, and Mrs. Baxter's voice immediately came from the other side, "Rae, it's mom!"

She was stunned when she heard the words "mom", then she said, "Yes, mom!"

"Are you free now?" Mrs. Baxter sounded a little cautious, afraid that Rae would be angry.

Rae felt a bit sad. It was rare for a mother to talk to her daughter so discreetly. Then, she immediately said, "I'm free now!"

"Something has happened at home, can you come back?" Mrs. Baxter's voice was even more cautious.

"What's happened?" Rae couldn't understand why she had to be called when something happened at home?

"We'll talk about it when you get back, it's not something that can be explained in a few words!" Mrs. Baxter said. "Oh, okay!" Rae didn't ask it in detail.

After she hung up the phone, Ophelia hurriedly said to her, "Hurry up and go home. I've to go back to my place now. After I find out how many of my documents are missing, I'll go and replace them!" "Okay!" Rae nodded her head, "If you need help, just give me a call. My colleagues are in the household registration department!"

"Don't worry, I will!" Ophelia patted her on the shoulder. "I'll give you a ride!"

When Ophelia sent Rae back to her home, Rae felt something change in the house as soon as she entered the house. Something seemed to be different in the house, she swept around alertly and saw a person sitting on the sofa. It was Reuben!

At the same time, Leonard was tasting the tea with Reuben while Mrs. Baxter sat on the side. Reuben looked confident and decent.

When he saw Rae enter the room, he acted like a gentleman, stood up, and said, "Rae is back!"

When he called her "Rae," Rae just felt crept out.

She hadn't expected Reuben to be here so soon, and he had even changed his outfit. This time, he wore a dark suit, not the one from this morning. How did he get out and change his clothes? Even... Rae saw a pile of luxury gifts on the desk by the door. Rae was taken unawares because Reuben came over in a very short time.

She didn't even have time to find out and ask about the engagement before Reuben was already at her house!

This man was really a scheming person!

"Rae, come here!" Mrs. Baxter stood up and called out to Rae. "Reuben is here!"

Rae bowed her head slightly and nodded.

Mrs. Baxter was a bit embarrassed to see that Rae seemed unhappy, and she explained, "Rae, you forgot a lot of things after the car accident, Reuben is your fiancé!"

As soon as Rae heard it, she jerked her head up and looked at Mrs. Baxter!

It turned out that there was really this matter, and it wasn't made up by Reuben.

Leonard added, "Reuben has been abroad. When he first returned home, he came to see me at my office. He was busy with his company matters, so he didn't go to you! He's free recently, and that's why he came!"

This explanation was obviously unfounded. He didn't come to her when he first came back but came to her when he was free!

Rae didn't reveal anything or express her opinion, she just looked at Reuben.

Reuben looked at Rae with a fake smile, "Rae, long time no see, you're getting prettier. But this dress doesn't suit you, I still like the way you wear simple clothes."

The dress belonged to Ophelia. Neither the color nor the style suited her, as it was too fancy.

Reuben acted as if he hadn't seen her in years. He had just ripped her dress in this morning, then came over at noon. He still lied in front of her parents. He was really shameless.

"Come over and sit down!" Mrs. Baxter asked Rae to go over.

Rae then walked over to the sofa and sat down next to Mrs. Baxter.

"Rae, do you still remember Rueben?" Leonard saw that Rae was unhappy, then he asked tentatively, "You used to be very close, and he was chosen by you. Why aren't you as close now as you used to be?"ÛÛÛÛ
