Chapter 199 An Astonishing Secret
"I hope all of you can still treat me like you used to. I want to work with you and complete the project
together!" Rachel said solemnly.
She felt that this was the best way to deal with the fact that her identity was public now.
Millay sighed. "Well, we were a little surprised in the beginning. But you can rest assured that we're still
colleagues.
I'm still trying to adjust myself to the fact that you're actually sitting inside this small office and working
with us even though you're the wife of the famous Stream Company's president!"
Penny also nodded. "Rachel, I really appreciate you for working with us instead of being a housewife
and getting pampered at home."
At this moment, Daniel came out of his office and clapped his hands. "Okay, break time's over! It's time
to continue our work! We only have three months, and we've already spent the first month.
If you want to stay at Streams Company after two months, then start doing your work!"
"Mr. Zhuo, did you already know that Rachel is the wife of our president?" Penny whispered to him.
Daniel looked at Penny and knocked her table. "Work, start to work! Didn't you hear what I just said?
She may be the wife of the president, but don't forget, I am your boss!
I have the final say in your destiny!"
Penny immediately bowed her head and went back to her office desk.
"Mr. Zhuo, is the document that I showed you on Friday still in your office?" Rachel suddenly asked Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
him. She needed it now but couldn't find it anywhere.
"Yeah, you can go and take it, " Daniel said to her and walked towards the bathroom.
Rachel went to Daniel's office and rummaged around for the document. When she found it, she
accidentally knocked another piece of paper onto the floor. Thinking it was something important, she
bent down to pick it up.
However, she found that the names of just one person had been written all over the paper. They were
undoubtedly in Daniel's handwriting.
Stunned, she stared at the names on the paper.
"Haven't you found it yet?" Daniel asked, walking into his office to find Rachel kneeling on the floor.
Rachel came back to earth. "Daniel, are you leaving after you finish this project?" she asked, trying to
distract him as she stealthily put that piece of paper back onto the table and hid it below another file.
"Yeah, I have my own company. Your husband called me here specially for this project, " Daniel said
casually while he picked up the hand sanitizer on the shelf to clean his hands. Then he walked towards
the desk and looked at her with doubt. "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly asking this?"
"Nothing, I'm going to miss you when you leave, " Rachel said, smiling.
Daniel raised his eyebrow at her and laughed. "Huh, I think it is worth saving you after all."
"Of course. Never take anything for granted. My mother taught me that when I was young. Oh! I have
to go finish my work now!" Rachel walked out of Daniel's office with her document.
After she got off work in the evening, Carl drove her back to the Tulip Palace. However, hours later,
Hiram still hadn't returned.
It was only when she asked Chad about his whereabouts that she found out that he had gone to
another city in the afternoon to meet a friend of his.
——
Inside a small cottage in XH Village...
"Mr. Rong, this time, I assure you I haven't made a mistake. Miss Landy Rong lived in XH Village for a
year, during which she spent all her time with Simpson Ruan.
Although many years have passed and most of the people who know about it are gone, I still managed
to get the truth from a woman who got married to a man in another village."
A man who looked about 50 years old was bowing his head and talking to another man who was
standing in front of the window.
Hiram slowly turned to him, his eyes dark as ink. "Even so, it doesn't prove that he was involved in
Landy's death."
The older man nodded and said, "That's true. The trouble lies in that she was with Simpson in her final
days.
There's another information I found out two days ago that's more important than this. But I haven't
confirmed whether it is true or not yet."
"Tell me, " Hiram replied immediately.
"I heard that Landy had a child when she was in XH Village, a girl. This girl also disappeared when
Landy died. No one knows where this girl is or if she's still alive.
The midwife who delivered the child died a long time ago, and the only other person who knew about it
was Simpson, and he's not alive either. The only thing we know is that if Landy really did have a child,
the girl's age should be..." the man trailed off, not daring to continue.
He silently lowered his head.
"What are you afraid of now?" Hiram asked coldly.
"Yes, well..." The man bowed his head lower and continued, "She would be the same age as Simpson's
daughter now. That is...your wife, Rachel."
"Bullshit!" Hiram suddenly shouted, slapping the windowsill. "That's ridiculous!"
"Yes, I know it's a stretch. But since you've come all the way here, I have to let you know all the
information I managed to gather, whether it's big or small, " the man said, shrinking at Hiram's temper.
"Anyway, it's simple to weed out this hypothesis.
You can secretly check Rachel's DNA, then everything will be clear."
Landy was Hiram's aunt. If what the man was saying was true and Rachel was really Landy's daughter,
then Rachel's DNA must resemble the Rong Family's.
Hiram's face turned pale. "Shut up! Do I have to test the truthfulness of every rumor?
This is unbelievable. No one could find out anything about Landy's death for 20 years, and now I
suddenly get such an astonishing clue? Why couldn't my father find out anything earlier? Investigate it
again. Don't miss out any details!" Hiram said.
"Yes!" The man nodded immediately.
Hiram walked towards the door slowly. "If you get any clues, you can inform me at any time.
Remember, you can't say anything to anyone except me. Even if my father asks, you have to keep it a
secret. Do you understand?"
"Yes, I know. Please don't worry!"
Hiram got into a black car outside, lit a cigarette, took a long drag, and slowly turned his head to look at
the dark fields.
Even if the news was false and Landy hadn't given birth to a child, Rachel's father had still been
involved in Landy's death.
If Hiram's father found out, would he be able to forgive Rachel?
Although the two generations of the Rong family and the Ruan family were entangled, they were
peacefully coexisting with each other so far. However, he could never have imagined that such a big
secret would be hidden in their relationship.
