Chapter 798 The p (Part One)
"Do you really think you two will be happy together?" Rachel stared at Duke with a dark look. Her face
was covered with tears that were not yet dry.
Before Duke could answer, Belinda cut in. She stood at the door, smiling and amused. "I don''t think you
need to be concerned with that. We''ll live happily ever after."
"Belinda! Don''t be so cocky. Do you really think that Duke''s in love with you? Listen to me, don''t be so
naive! Men promise one thing, then do something else! Look at me; I''m a cautionary tale." Already
agitated, Rachel became even more unhinged when she saw Belinda.
"I''m not going to depend on men, but I can still trust my husband. He will bring me happiness." Belinda
walked closer and closer. Her smile grew bigger and brighter. She looked so charming and confident
that her beauty reached its peak.
"Haha! "Happiness. Do you know that I used to be the only one in Duke''s heart?" Rachel red at
Belinda intensely. She wanted to tear that big smile off Belinda''s face.
"But you aren''t anymore, are you? That''s why I''ll enjoy this even more." Belinda stopped right next to
Duke and adjusted his cor, looking like a kind and caringdy to her man.
"You... You..." Rachel pointed at Belinda with a trembling finger. She was too angry at this disy of
affection to speak.
"What? I''m fine, but are you okay? You look a bit pale." Belinda pped away Rachel''s finger, but her
smile remained. Belinda knew that she would never be fazed by a woman like Rachel. So Belinda
didn''t y Rachel''s game, and instead beat her at it. Rachel obviously picked the wrong woman to
mess with.
"You haven''t won today. Who knows who will get thestugh! Bitch." Furious now, Rachel began to
hurl insult, and she immediately paid for it. Belinda pped her loudly across the face without thinking
twice. Everyone froze in an instant.
"Miss Qin, get over yourself. As long as people don''t cross me, I won''t bother them. But obviously
you''re acting insolent, so you absolutely deserve that." Belinda was not like Daisy. She didn''t have an
official reputation to live up to, and there were no consequences for cutting loose like that.
"You hit me! Who the hell do you think you are?" Rachel covered her cheek, trying to soothe it with her
palm. She made sure to remember this, because she vowed to doubly return the favor in the future.
"You made your bed, now lie in it. Most people have enough brains to stop when things get too far. But
you shouldn''t be biting people like a rabid dog. Duke tolerates you, but that doesn''t mean that I have to.
We aren''t friends nor family. So I don''t have to take your obscene insults. And I won''t. Quit using the
word ''bitch.'' It''s definitely not good for you, and everyone will only see you as uneducated, "
Belinda chided her with a sneer. If the woman that Duke loved really was Rachel, Belinda would not
hesitate to give up her im, since they couldn''t be happy forcing this marriage. But Duke loved
Belinda, so that made everything different.
"Who are you calling a rabid dog?" A smart woman would never ask such a question, because the
answer would be even more infuriating. It was clear that Rachel was not a smart woman.
"Miss Qin, if you throw a tantrum over a couple words, then I have nothing to say to you. I would watch
your mouth in the future. It''s only going to get worse for you if you don''t stop. Not everyone''s going to
put up with it."
Belinda dropped her smile. The quarrel had gone on long enough. She didn''t want to even be around
this woman anymore. Even though she fully trusted Duke, thest thing she needed was Rachel
butting into their lives.
"So tell me, Belinda. If you were dumped by your guy, would you still be saying this stuff?" Rachel dried
her tears. She could appear soft in front of Duke, but she couldn''t look so weak in front of her rival.
"I think you''ve got something wrong. As I recall, you were the one who dumped him! You are just so
ridiculously shameless. Is it fun for you to me others for your problems? You ran off with another
guy, and now Duke has to get back to you whenever you want! Really? Do you think you''re thest
woman on earth?"
Belinda was really curious that how Rachel could regard herself as so above everyone else. Where did
she get the justification to feel that privileged? Was she born so self-centered?
"So? Do you hate me now because his heart''s always been with me all these years?" Rachel gritted
her teeth. Right now, she was clinging to thest slender thread of her stubbornness so that she
wouldn''t seem a total loser.
"This is ridiculous! Why would I hate you? I didn''t even know Duke before, so whoever was on his mind
or had his love doesn''t concern me at all. Because I only care about the present and the future. The
past really doesn''t matter much to me."
Belinda shot a sidelong nce at Rachel. Her re was a sardonic one. If Belinda were in her ce,
she wouldn''t stick around to bother Duke. After all, there was no ce for Rachel anymore. Trying to
force her way in only seemed more pathetic.
"Get out!" Said Duke. "Our rtionship was over the moment you left. And that was years ago. There''s
nothing left. And I don''t even want to see you again." Duke''s face appeared emotionless. He was

calmly telling Rachel what he was thinking.
"Fine, I''ll go. But you two listen up. You''ll never find happiness." Rachel stomped her foot and looked
intently at Duke one final time. She then bitterly left. Her pointy heels sounded crisp as they echoed
down the hallway.
Duke sighed gently and sucked his dry lips. He finally turned to Belinda: "Why are you here?"
"Oh! Take this invitation to the president of YD Group. I figured it was gettingte, so I was thinking of
having a meal with you." Belinda smiled again. A smart woman knew when to ask what kind of
questions and when not to, so she was not bothered by the argument with Rachel.
"Do you want him there?" Duke frowned a bit, because they originally agreed that the wedding would
only be open to close friends and families. Business partners were not invited.
"Yes! Isn''t he Daisy''s friend? Since they know each other, then they should get together! After all, our
so I think it''s appropriate to offer an invitation. As to whether hees or not, that''s his business." If he
wasn''t Daisy''s friend, Belinda would never deliver an invitation in person, if at all.
"OK, the more the merrier I suppose. Let''s go!" Duke picked up his coat, and just before he could take
Belinda''s hand, the phone rang. Reaching into his pocket, he answered.
"Hello! Leena, what''s going on?" Duke answered the phone as he was walking out. Belinda followed
quietly. They exited the office one after the other.
"Is Belinda with you? I tried calling her but no one answered!" Leena was on the other end, calling
while wiping a table with a piece of cloth. She was sweating from the exertion.
"Oh! She''s with me right now. Do you want to speak to her?" Duke slowed down and waited for Leena''s
response.
"Yeah! Hand her the phone for a moment." Leena sat down on the floor and took a little break. She was
exhausted from cleaning all morning.
"Here! Leena''s looking for you." Duke handed Belinda the phone and walked with her into the elevator.
"Girl, what happened?" Belinda just realized that she left her phone in the car. No wonder Leena would
be calling Duke to ask for her.
"Hey, didn''t I ask you to consult with me after you try on the wedding dress? Have you tried it on or
have you forgotten?" Leenay directly on the floor. She felt cooler already, and she was d to rx.
Thefort gave her an involuntary chill.
"Oh! Sorry! I was busy and forgot to call. The dress fits well. No need for alterations. Thanks, girl."
Smacking her forehead, she thought, ''how could I have forgotten something so important?''
