A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 996 Buy a CD

An implication of smugness emerged from Kane’s eyes, "Leonard will be just as lonely as me in his old age!"

Looking at Kane’s gloating face, Rae didn’t respond but felt glad that her mother had given an appropriate answer. She deliberately said so to break his illusions and to show her weakness.

"I'll think of another way to solve the problem. Don’t be scared!" Kane said with a smile, revealing his yellow and black teeth caused by smoking, "You can come, that’s already my pleasure!"

"Dad, what are you talking about? We've been dependent on each other as father and daughter for so many years. How can I really get angry with you?" Rae was still acting as if they were very close.

Soon, Kane gave his permission to Rae to go!

At the moment, Marcel, who was on the phone at his office, was told, "Marcel, Rae entered into the video store where she met Kane, and then they went into the warehouse behind staying for about eight minutes!"

Marcel said in a deep voice, "Well, keep stalking Kane and report at any time of abnormal acts. Don’t let him find that he is monitored. He was once a police officer, more vigilant than others! Once you guys are found, you will never be able to find his weakness again!"

"Yes!"

After hanged up the phone, Marcel got lost in thought and her lips parted in a smile.

When Rae returned to the unit, she happened to see Marcel walk on the corridor towards her.

Rae was startled and a little bit wary of him, but still straightened her spine and went ahead.

They came face to face, and Rae slightly bowed her head when they got closer.

Marcel said, "You’re out?"

Being shocked, Rae raised her head to meet Marcel's, and subconsciously said, "Yes!".

"Where have you been?" Marcel asked again.

Rae was stunned and said, "to buy a CD!"

"Oh!" Marcel didn't asking.

However, Rae felt that his "Oh" had a deep and meaningful indication.

When she turned to look at him again, he had already brushed past her and walked towards the elevator at the end of the corridor.

Rae looked at Marcel's upright back, compressed her lips, and was wondering why he didn’t humiliate her this time, but took the initiative to greet her instead. Did he took the wrong medicine or changed his surname? Rae felt unbelievable.

When she returned to the office, she got a phone call from the person she arranged.

"Rae, Ophelia has returned from abroad. As soon as she got off the plane, Civil Aviation gave us a call!"

"Is that true?" Rae was speechless and immediately said, "Follow her and keep me informed of her whereabouts! I'll go there right now!"

After everything was settled, Rae hailed a car and got into the car with Alfred.

Soon, she was informed that Ophelia went to Reuben's villa as soon as she got off the plane!

It was where Reuben and Rae had ever lived before.

Rae was a little bit surprised and wondered why Reuben suddenly asked Ophelia to come back?

She called again in the car and asked, "Has Benjamin come back yet?"

"Not yet. No news about Benjamin from Civil Aviation!"

"Okay!" Rae was more confirmed that Reuben called Ophelia back probably because of something urgent. But Benjamin still stayed in Japan, so, that meant there was also something happening in Japan. So he was seeking a balance.

When the car arrived at the villa, Rae did not get in but just waited outside the gate.

At this moment, in the villa, Ophelia was standing in the middle of the living room with her suitcase in her hand.

Flora looked at her and sighed.

There were no ripples but dead silence in Ophelia's eyes. Looking at Flora, she indifferently said, "What does he want from me?"

"I don't know!" Flora shook her head.

"Where is he?" Ophelia asked again.

"He is in the screening room!" Flora said.

Ophelia's face was slightly sunken, and she slowly walked towards the stairs. When she reached the door of the room in the third floor, the door was closed. It’s very dark and nothing could be seen. A gloomy feeling emerged inside her. The door being locked, she gently pushed the door, only to hear the door open in a squeak.

The room was dark, empty, and home to nothing. It is invisible, even the big screen was black.

She took a step in, her heart beating, only to find the room even darker.

Suddenly, Ophelia frowned intuitively at the strong pungent smell of alcohol overwhelming her and stopped because of the dark and indistinguishable room.

By the light of the door, Ophelia found that the vision gradually cleared.

She continued to walk forward until a suddenly noise was heard. Ophelia lowered her head and found a wine bottle.

She stopped and waited until the vision got better, then she saw a man lying on the ground in front of her, his feet being surrounded by bottles of wine.

"Reuben?" Ophelia shouted in trembling voice.

Reuben did not answer.

Ophelia was slightly stunned and fixed her mind. Perhaps she had not seen Reuben for so long that she felt upset as she saw Reuben so dispirited .

A long time before she spoke, "Why did you ask me to come back? It’s you that who send me on a business trip, but now you let me return midway. What exactly is that in your mind?"

At this moment, the person on the ground struggled to raise his head, his messy hair almost covering his whole face except a pair of deep and cold eyes seeing through his hair.

A hoarse voice like a broken gong, extremely indifferent was heard, "I am your boss. I make an arrangement. Is there anything wrong?"

The answer indicated that he was still sober, except his haggard face and green beard making him look like a decadent.

Ophelia’s heart’s shocked. She could not believe that Reuben, who used to be obsessive about cleanliness, should have been lying on the ground.

She said in a cold voice, "After this month, I will quit! Reuben, I won’t work for you anymore!"

Reuben suddenly smiled coldly, with a shudder of horror, “A month ...... Do you think you can live through a month?"

Ophelia looked at him. To this moment, he was still threatening Ophelia whose hands were slightly trembling. Ophelia ran over, squatted on the ground, and grabbed Reuben's collar forcibly saying, "Reuben, are you threatening me? Be careful! I will die with you if you provoke me!"

Reuben frowned at Ophelia with hatred, his thin lips like flying blades, "What are you hiding from me?"

Ophelia was shocked, frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Reuben shouted coldly, "Ophelia!"

Ophelia was shocked by this bellowing sound. What did he mean?

Ophelia couldn't remember anything.

Ophelia shook him off, stood up, took a step back, with pity in her eyes, "Reuben, don't you fuck do this to me! Who are you? Over the years, you have played me like a fool. You know that I love you, but you pretend to be unaware of my love. You repeatedly take advantage of my love, a thousand times. You not only make use of my love, but also trample on my heart! I can't stand any longer!"

Reuben suddenly gave a cruel smile, "You deserve it! You’re cheap!"

"Yes, I'm cheap!" Ophelia suddenly fell into silence, with ruthlessness in her eyes, "Rae is good, but she didn’t care about you? You have never got any response from her. You can just drink and get drunk. You deserve it! You are destined to be alone for the rest of your life, and you will never get any attention from her for the rest of your life. That’s your fate. You just didn't do enough in your previous life!"

Reuben suddenly narrowed his eyes, and in his eyes flashed with a sense of coldness, “Ha! Even if Rae was dead, it's not your turn to be a jealous woman. You will never get my love! Don’t even think about it when I'm alive or dead! Rae, both seven years ago and now, is kinder than you! You don't deserve to be her friend. Just ask yourself from the heart that do you live up to your friend?"

Ophelia was frozen!

She looked at Reuben in shock and a million thoughts were flashing in her heart.

However, she couldn't catch any of them.

She didn't dare to ask Reuben what he had known!

"Ophelia!" Reuben's voice was so cold as if it came from the hell. "You make friends with Natalie and you make friends with Rae. You're really something!"

Ophelia's body trembled and looked at Reuben with great shock. At this moment, he was like a ghost in her eyes, spying on all the secrets silently.

She understood everything all of a sudden!

He knew the truth!

He knew that the real Rae had already dead.

Thinking of this, Ophelia's originally shocked and dead-alive eyes gradually ignited a glimmer of light, bright and uncertain, as if she did not believe that Reuben should have known that!

In that instant, countless emotions flashed through her eyes. There was expectation for hope while on the verge of despair and fear for deeper despair emerging after hope.

It all stemmed from loving someone too much.

He knew the real Rae was dead, but he still treated himself like this!

If he knew Rae was actually Natalie, would he treat Rae this way?

In a trembling voice, she said, "Why do you say that?"

Reuben closed his eyes and thought that their voices were similar, but there were also evident difference. Rae was always positive and with love. But the voice of Natalie who pretended to be Rae sounded slightly cold.

Although they had same appearances, Natalie was less positive than Rae but more dignified and calm than Rae.

However, the two faces were flashing in his mind.

They obviously had same appearance, but they were clearly different.

But now, considering that Ophelia who had already known the fact cheated him with Natalie, he felt a sudden surge of anger, making his eyes became a bit hideous.

He suddenly climbed up, fiercely pounced on Ophelia, and grasped Ophelia's neck, blue veins standing out on his hands, "How dare you make fool of me together with Natalie!"

Before finishing his words, he shrugged Ophelia away angrily with one hand.

Ophelia fell heavily onto the ground, her head hitting on something sharp. Blood oozed immediately from her forehead, dripping down along her black hair.

She screamed out in shock and pain, her heart aching. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

However, Ophelia was not afraid of arguing, "Ha! What's wrong with concealing? Shouldn't I conceal?"

Since he had already known everything, she didn't dare to ask!

Reuben coldly stared at Ophelia, and those eyes shone with a fierce light in the darkness, so regal.

Reuben’s heart at this moment was uncertain. He thought he could find his former lover again, but was surprised to find that he was forever separated from her! The saddening part was that woman he was thinking about was actually another person! Over the days, all the struggles, the pain, and sweetness, which arose because of Natalie, turned out to be fake!
