RedNovelRegret 132 Chapter 132 Xavier was already fuming, so when he saw the message, he was determined to track down whoever was spreading rumors. But as soon as he noticed the address-Tranquility Manor-he froze.
Rachel glanced at his phone. "Tranquility Manor? Isn't that..." Xavier's expression darkened. "I'm going over there. I want to see who's behind this." Knowing her husband's temper and fearing he'd get himself into trouble, Rachel had no choice but to go with him.
They took a cab to Tranquility Manor. As they stepped out, another message pinged: the meeting place was on the second floor of a café right next to the shops by the gate.
Rachel and Xavier entered the café, climbed the stairs to the loft, and stepped out onto the open-air terrace. There, they found a young woman and her son-the only guests outside.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRachel fixed her gaze on the woman, a suspicion dawning in her mind about her identity.
Xavier strode forward, his tone sharp. "Did you send the message?" "Yes, that was me." Tricia stirred her coffee, her manner open and unashamed. "Mr. Sterling, I'm not sure if your daughter ever mentioned me. My name's Tricia." Tricia. The nmade Xavier pause for a second.
She went on, "Oh, and how's your son doing these days?" Xavier's hand balled into a fist at his side. "It was you?" Rachel grabbed his arm, trying to keep him from losing his temper, then turned to Tricia. "Miss Winthrop, what Hiram did to you was inexcusable. We failed as parents, and our son has paid dearly for it. Isn't that enough for you?" "Enough?" Tricia let out a/cold laugh, shifting in her chair so she could stare them down. "No, it's not enough. I want everyone to know what your shameless daughter did-trying to steal another woman's man." She glared at them. "Evander and I have a child together, and your daughter still forced her way in. That kind of home-wrecking, immoral behavior-do you really approve of it, as her parents?" 1/3 12.02 Chapter 132 "Lies!" Xavier roared, his face turning red with rage.
Little Hans shrank back in fright.
"Xavier!" Rachel held him back again and faced Tricia, her tone icy and direct. "Miss Winthrop, you've got it all wrong. My daughter isn't the homewrecker here-you are." Tricia let out a disbelieving laugh. "Excuse me? What's that supposed to mean, Mrs. Sterling?" "Why? Didn't Mr. Howard ever tell you he was married?" Rachel's voice was almost mocking. Tricia's smile froze on her lips. She stared at Rachel, as if searching for any hint of a lie.
Rachel's eyes glinted with certainty. “I figured Mr. Howard wanted to keep his marriage to my daughter a secret to avoid gossip. Turns out, he was hiding it from you." "You... you must be joking." Tricia's hands clenched around her cup, her face going pale. "Evander married your daughter?" "If you don't believe me, you can check the records at city hall, or go ask the Howard family yourself." Rachel's calm was unwavering. "You accuse my daughter of being a mistress, but the truth is, she and Evander are legally married. Even if Evander fathered a child with you, that child is still illegitimate. If this ever becomes public, everyone will know who the real homewrecker is. But do you really dare let that happen?" Tricia's mind reeled.
She suddenly remembered those strange slips of the tongue Genevieve had made, and the tshe saw Charlotte at the Howard home. The familiarity Charlotte had shown when mentioning Rosemary...
So, they weren't just living together...
They were married.
Evander had actually married Charlotte! Tricia let out a shaky, bitter laugh, her eyes red with disbelief.
All these years, she'd thought Evander had stayed single because he still missed ber, that he'd been waiting for her to cback. 12.0 Chapter 132 But he'd married Charlotte.
She'd planned to use this rumor to drive the Sterlings out of the city in disgrace, to ruin them Socially. But now that Charlotte and Evander were bound by marriage, would that even work?
Xavier and Rachel, seeing Tricia's dazed expression, assumed she'd assumed finally ctoder senses and turned to leave until the sudden wail of a child broke through the air.
"Mommy, don't-!" Rachel spun around just in tto see Tricia, wild-eyed, about to shove her son over the second-floor railing.
"You're insane!" Rachel's maternal instincts kicked in; she lunged forward without thinking, reaching for the boy.
At that moment, Tricia let go.
