The moment Rachel said these words, the crowd instantly quieted down. Roger was shocked, and his
mind went blank.
In fact, even Victor didn’t expect to hear those things from her. His eyes narrowed as he looked on her,
trying to figure out why Rachel would suddenly announce something like that.
At this time, all eyes were fixed at Rachel. After some time, Victor pulled her hand. As she turned
towards him, she actually thought that he would discredit what she just said. However, she was
surprised when he held her hand gently Then, he looked at Roger with a confident smile on his lips.
“Yes, I will remarry Rachel after this cruise tour. In fact, you are welcome to our wedding, Mr. Jimenez.”
Looking at them held hands as if they were a true couple, Roger felt a sharp pain in his heart. “Victor…I
want to go back to my room and rest for now,” Rachel said softly, lowering her eyes.
“Alright. I’ll accompany you back.” Victor actually wanted to say something more to frustrate and upset
Roger. But when he saw Rachel’s pale face, seemingly not feeling well, he nodded quickly. Rachel’s
condition was, of course, more important than anything else.
Then, when Victor wasn’t looking, Rachel withdrew her hand and left the deck.
Meanwhile, at the entrance of a narrow passage on the deck that was reserved for the crew, Alice, who
was wearing a mask and a white uniform, stood there. Apparently, she was watching the whole scene,
and she couldn’t help but be consumed with anger as she stared at the backs of Rachel and Victor
when they left. The colleague next to her sighed and remarked, “That woman is so lucky. I wish I could
be her. Two gorgeous-looking men fighting for me?
That is the dream!” “What dream?! Rachel just looks innocent, but she’s a total bitch! If you hear the
ridiculous things she’s done, I’m sure you won’t say that. Humph! No man should even like her. Who
knows what kinds of tricks she used to seduce them!” Alice scoffed and ranted. “Her name is Rachel?
That’s a beautiful name. It really suits her.” Alice’s colleague was still mesmerized by Rachel. However,
she noticed the disdain in Alice’s eyes, so she couldn’t help but ask, “Do you know her? Why does it
seem like you’re familiar with her? Anyway, I don’t think you should bad-mouth her.
All the people on this ship are rich and powerful. If someone hear you say things like that, you might
get in big trouble!” Hearing this, Alice clenched her fists and shouted, “Shut up! You don’t know
anything! She stole everything from me! Everything!” The colleague was slightly taken aback, not
expecting that Alice would suddenly snap at her.
She took a step back, frightened at what Alice might do to her. “Hey…” But then in her exasperation,
Alice turned around, pushed her aside, and ran away. When the colleague finally managed to steady
herself, she already saw that Alice had gone far. She frowned and said angrily, “What’s wrong with that
woman?! Rachel stole everything from her? Who does she think she is? She’s crazy!” However, Alice
was already too far to hear her colleague’s words.
Moreover, her mind was preoccupied with the thought of Victor and Rachel holding hands just now. ‘I
should be the one holding Victor’s hand! This is unfair. I did nothing wrong! That bitch just swooped in
and took what’s mine! I loved Victor so much. Why did he pick that woman over me? Why?!’ Alice
fumed in anger that tears welled up in her eyes. Everyone looked jealous of Rachel just now, and Alice
was pissed off because she thought that she should have been the center of attention, not Rachel.
It was her who should have been envied by everyone. Alice’s eyes turned red. She clenched the railing
with her fragile hands, and her eyes gradually became vicious. It was pretty obvious that she would do
something to take back what was originally hers. At this time, Rachel and Victor finally went back to the
room.
“Stay outside!” Victor glanced at the maid and ordered in a cold tone. The maid peeked at Rachel first
before nodding. Then, she left the room and closed the door. Now that they were alone, Rachel
panicked, turned around, and hurriedly tried to explain, “Victor, there is nothing between me and—”
“Do you agree?” Victor didn’t really pay attention to what Rachel was saying. Instead, he approached
her and asked something else. Rachel didn’t expect that he would suddenly approach her, so she took
a step back and hit the sofa. Because of this, she lost her balance and sat on the sofa. “Wh… What?”
Rachel was puzzled, not understanding what Victor was asking. “The remarriage,” Victor said without
hesitation. With her eyes fixed on Victor’s, Rachel moved her lips and wanted to say something. But
then she suddenly frowned and covered her mouth with her hands, pushed him away, and ran towards
the bathroom.
Everything happened so fast that Victor didn’t understand what happened. When the bathroom door
slammed and he heard Rachel vomiting, he finally regained his senses. With a stern look on his face,
he tried to open the door, but he found out that it was locked from the inside.
“Rachel, are you okay? What’s wrong? Do you hear me? Open the door!” Victor called a few times, but
Rachel didn’t answer.
He didn’t know what was happening to her, so he got a little flustered. Then, just as he was about to
ask someone to break the door, the door slowly opened. “Rachel, what…” “Sorry. I just felt a little
dizzy…” Rachel looked a bit pale and worn out. “I think I should lie down for a while.” Looking at her,
Victor felt that something seemed strange, but he couldn’t point out what it was.
Not giving it too much thought, Victor sighed and said, “I see. I’ll ask the maid to come in and look after
you. Tell her if you need anything. Rest well.” After saying that, he got out of the room. Right after Victor
instructed the maid, she went inside the room. She heard from Victor that Rachel wasn’t feeling well.
However, when she came in, she saw Rachel sitting on the sofa, looking perfectly fine.
