Ella’s checks burned with pain. Her eyes widened in astonishment.
You… how dare you hit me!”
“Remember this slap, for there will be more than one next time! Rachel said each word coldly, sounding demonic.
Leaving behind those harsh words, she turned and left.
Rachel’s arrival at Drew Research Institute became the main talk there.
Having spent seven years abroad, Rachel, under the alias Selena, had made countless technological research contributions. She became a highly sought–after researcher by tech companies who offered massive investments looking to collaborate.
She had agreed to come here for two reasons. Firstly was because of Davis‘ request. Secondly was for her personal reasons.
“Selena, we finally meet. I’m Mason Jennings, the deputy director of Drew Research Institute. Welcome to our institute.”
“Mr. Jennings, you’re too kind.”
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Mason got straight to the point. He placed the prepared documents in front of her. “Selena.”
“My name is Rachel Freeman. Mr. Jennings, you can just call me Rachel.”
When Mason heard this name, he paused for a moment, the name ringing a faint bell. However, he quickly brushed the thought aside.
He nodded and smiled, saying, “Rachel, the news of your arrival here has spread. Currently, over ten major corporations are eager to invite and collaborate with us. I have specially narrowed the options to four of the most suitable for you to choose from. Please take a look.”
Rachel flipped through the documents absentmindedly. The first one that caught her eye was Zane’s company–TN Group. Her gaze turned cold for a moment.
Then, she smiled and asked, “Mr. Jennings, do you have any suggestions?
“In my opinion, the most suitable partner at the moment is TN Group. I have analyzed their project proposal and they had already entered the overseas market as an international group. So there is no need to worry about risks during collaboration.”

“Well, then let’s go with TN Group.” Rachel handed back the documents. “Mr. Jennings, please make the arrangements.”
“No problem.” Mr. Jennings had a better impression of Rachel for her approachable demeanor. He thought that big shots would be much more arrogant. “Rachel, since you just got off the plane, you still need to adjust to the time difference. We have specially prepared an apartment for you to rest and adjust for the next couple of days.”
“Thank you, Mr. Jennings.”
Late at night, Rachel, who was wearing a long black suspender dress, sat in the taxi. She scrolled through the funny pictures constantly sent by Nick and Allie in the WhatsApp group. A warm smile appeared.
Seven years ago, she risked her life to give birth to Nick and Allie. Now, they were her greatest motivation and hope to her in life.
Thinking of the past, the image of Zane once again appeared in her mind. After handling matters here, she would leave everything for good and live peacefully with them.
“Miss, we have arrived,” the driver reminded.
“Thank you.”
Gracefully stepping out of the car, Rachel made her way to the address given by Henry.
Pushing open the door, Rachel looked at the men sitting inside the private room. A faint glimmer of amusement flickered in her eyes.
Meanwhile, outside the room, Zane suddenly stopped in his tracks. His gaze was fixed on the silhouette that had just walked into the private room.
Rachel? Why did the woman who just entered look so much like Rachel?
Rachel, who was all dressed up, entered the private room. This caused all the men present to stare at her. The men in the room were of all ages and sizes, but they were undoubtedly losers. However, they were all dressed in expensive suits and wore luxury watches.
It was obvious to her that the men Henry had chosen for her this time were purely because they were rich. He was so eager to get money.
The men started to get restless.
“Ms. Freeman, who would’ve thought you were still alive? The news of your death seven years ago seemed so believable, one of them remarked.
“It’s just those media folks, always spreading fabricated stories to attract the audience. Ms.

Freeman was just studying abroad, but she was said to be dead instead, another chimed in.
“Exactly! Ms. Freeman, I never thought you would become more beautiful.”
“Zane doesn’t have the luck. He gave up such a beautiful wife.”
“Haha, if Zane hadn’t divorced her, how would we have the chance to sit and eat with Ms. Freeman today?”
As they spoke, the conversation clearly became frivolous and unrestrained.
