Chapter 428 How Dare You Insult Me Like This (Part One)
"Nonsense! Of course he is my baby''s father. Who else could it be? The whole city knows bloody well
Edward is the only man I''ve ever slept with!"
Luke had handed her the test results, but she didn''t believed them for a single second. Edward didn''t
want to hurt Daisy and so he had forged the report to fool that stupid woman, who was too thick to see
the truth. But it didn''t mean that she, Jessica, would y their ridiculous game.
"Tsk-tsk! Miss Lin, I think you of all people should know who the father is. Or have you slept with too
many men that even you can''t be sure, so you make Edward the perfect scapegoat?"
Rain sneered. If it was true that she hadn''t slept with anyone except Edward, how could she get
pregnant? She must think they were real idiots.
"You..." Enraged, Jessica raised her hand and swung it at Rain''s face. Never in her life had she been
so vilely treated and Rain was the first one who dared throw insults in her face.
"So are you getting angry because you feel guilty and ashamed? Trying tosh out at me?" Rain
caught hold of her wrist firmly. Had she really thought about it before she acted? She couldn''t expect
him to stand there to take the p, could she?
"Let go of me! How dare you insult me like this?" Stung by his harsh words, Jessica felt the heat rise in
her, her whole body trembling like a leaf in the wind.
"Miss Lin, the only reason I show you any respect is because your father was my business partner for
many years and I feel it a professional courtesy. But it doesn''t mean you can do whatever you want."
Rain flung her hand away roughly, and a hint of disgust crossed his eyes. His pretty face was hard and
tight, darkened with icy cruelty.
"Don''t take yourself too seriously. I don''t need your revolting courtesy. It''s an utter disgrace just to stand
here with you."
Jessica staggered back a step and red at this impassive man in front of her, her eyes zing with
anger. He was always a nobody to her and she never really honored him with a nce, but at that
moment she couldn''t help feeling a cold fear in her heart, although she had managed to put a bold face
on.
"That would be convenient for everyone. But do you really think you have any grace left in you?"
Something flickered in Rain''s eyes, then his lips curved to an elegant arc and his face broke into a
wicked smile.
"Even on my worst day, we''ll never be in the same league. How ridiculous to hear a bastard son talking
about grace! You should never forget who you are and where you stand." Jessica gave him a

triumphant smile. Did he truly believe he could hide his little secrets in the dark forever? Any private
detective could easily dig into his past and bring his family tree to light. Indeed, he had the blood of a
noble family, but his identity had never been admitted publicly. So he was just a bastard son with
nothing to inherit and in no position to defy her.
"In that case, let''s save some time for both of us. Security! What are you waiting for? See her out."
Rain had never tried to hide his identity and neither did he feel shame about it. He earned what he had
and couldn''t care less about what anyone else thought of him. There had been a time he felt frustrated
and depressed, but he had learned to let it go. He hoped Jessica would be able to hold her head high
several days after this, when anyone with a job would have more dignity than her.
"Please, Miss Lin. Don''t make this difficult." The security guards didn''t dare to anger Jessica. Like any
other normal men, they had a soft spot for beautiful women, not to mention this woman who had been
their boss''s lover for a long time. Yet they had to obey Mr. Xia''s order to walk her out.
"Out of my way! You plebs, don''t you dare touch me! You''re making a mistake, Rain, you will regret it. I
will make you pay for this." Furiously, Jessica turned to leave, her teeth gritted and her eyes gleaming
with malice.
"You''re right. Someone is going to pay the price. Let''s just wait and see." Rain smiled blithely. He never
liked this woman. She could threaten him all she wanted and he didn''t bother to pay her any attention.
"Mr. Xia, is it true Mr. Mu won''t be in the office for awhile?" Anna asked as soon as Jessica took her
leave, thinking about what Rain said to Jessica.
"Has Aaron arrived yet? Get him and meet me at my office." Rain ignored her question and nced
over the room. All workers who had been waiting for his answer lowered their heads quickly and
pretended to work.
"He''s here, I''ll get him." Anna felt a vague sense of unease about his words, though she didn''t know
why.
Rain nodded briefly, and then strode toward his office with a mocking smile on his lips. Jessica ttered
herself too much to think she was special to Edward. Edward was a walking pheromone; he attracted
women like honey attracted bees. He was just using Jessica to get rid of those women. This was the
only reason Edward kept her at his side for so long.
Tired, Rain sank into his chair, frowning. He had a prettyrge workload already before taking over
Edward''s work. He was praying he would not work himself to death before Edward returned to work
from the hospital.
His musings were ended by a crisp rap on his door. The door opened, Anna and Aaron came in. Anna,
of course, was the one who knocked. Aaron had Rain''s character and in his opinion the door was only
a tool to lock things away.
"Make it quick. I have too much going on right now." Impatiently Aaron rolled his eyes at Rain,
wondering what Rain was up to and why Rain summoned him all of a sudden.
"Edward was seriously wounded yesterday, and he''s still in critical condition," Rain said in a calm tone,
not caring how his words would surprise them.
"Damn it Rain! That''s not funny!" For a moment, Aaron didn''t seem to understand what Rain was
saying. Rain''s face betrayed no hint of a smile. Maybe he wasn''t joking. But just a while ago, Aaron had
received the bill from the auction, showing Edward had spent tons of moneyst night. How could he
get hurt suddenly?
