Chapter 370

Chapter 370:
Upon hearing Madilyn’s reassurance, Rachel visibly relaxed. “Don’t spread rumors,” she said firmly.
Cathryn still needed Rachel’s help. Her older sister had been diagnosed with breast cancer and wanted to jump the line for surgery at Harmony Hospital. To stay in their social circle, Cathryn always agreed with Rachel.
Seeing Rachel’s pale face, Cathryn attempted to defuse the situation. “Mrs. Truman, please stop making unfounded accusations.”
Cathryn purposefully grabbed Rachel’s arm and continued, “The Harman family is in the spotlight now. Although your family is also in the biotech industry, you should learn to accept the fact.”
“Humph!” Alisson sneered. “I don’t know how they got their technology, but they think they’re successful now. I didn’t start the rumors. If you don’t believe me, ask around. It’s common knowledge that Rachel’s daughter-in-law is a prominent lawyer who is close with the richest man in town. People even saw them having dinner and playing golf together.”
Rachel emphasized, “That’s for work.”
“Really? Then why isn’t she here? I checked the guest list upon entering the venue and found out she didn’t come,” Alisson persisted.
“Who said she wasn’t here? I saw her talking with the ambassador’s wife just a moment ago,” Madilyn interjected, sensing Rachel’s frustration.
“Don’t interrupt me!” Alisson snapped at Madilyn. “If she’s here, then why isn’t she with you? It’s a joke. Are you ashamed of your own family’s dirty laundry?”
Alisson touched the diamond necklace around her neck and raised her head in a mock display of sympathy. “I understand how you feel. It’s such a shame to have a daughter-in-law like that. If you’re unhappy, you can tell us, and we’ll help you out.”
Rachel couldn’t take it any longer. “Are you kidding me? I don’t want this daughter-in-law. My son will divorce her sooner or later.”
Cathryn was stunned and Bessie was left speechless. It seemed the rumor was, in fact, true. Rachel had just confirmed it.

Candice was shocked to hear Rachel openly slandering her in public. If that was the case, she had nothing to worry about.
As Candice turned to leave, a clear and commanding female voice stopped her in her tracks.
“You don’t want this daughter-in-law? I’ll take her!”
Candice froze with surprise. The voice sounded familiar. She turned around to see who it was, and was astonished to find…
“Erica!”
Candice was surprised by Erica’s unexpected appearance.
She never imagined that Erica would defend her. She had always assumed that Erica was unaware of her past and the rumors surrounding her.
But as it turned out, Erica had known all along.
In Erica’s eyes, Candice was still Greyson’s wife. It was a sobering thought.
As Erica walked gracefully, Candice’s lips trembled slightly. Erica was simply stunning tonight, emanating elegance and nobility.
