Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot-Chapter 1020 - 285: Getting What One Deserves_1

At this moment.

Rachel Barton panicked.

She never expected that Viola Thompson would wake up at this time.

What should she do now?

Trying to calm herself, Rachel, her eyes reddened, said, "Viola, you, you listen to me explain... I, I..."

She and Viola were best friends who had grown up together since childhood.

The bond between them was irreplaceable.

Knowing Viola's temperament, Viola would surely forgive her.

Yes, she definitely would.

All Viola did was stare at Rachel.

Unclear what emotions lay beneath her gaze.

The scene of the two of them playing together as children flashed before Viola's eyes.

The original Viola's childhood was lonely, she deeply understood the pain of being abandoned and forgotten. So when a person with a similar fate appeared in her life, she chose to protect her, brighten her life, and protect her without regard for herself.

It was this bond that prevented Viola from ever being suspicious of Rachel.

Being betrayed by the person closest to her,

Was the first experience of this kind for Viola.

She didn't quite understand the feeling in her heart.

"Why is it you?"

After a moment, Viola spoke.

In a voice so cold, it was terrifying.

Rachel had never seen this side of Viola before, the fear seeping into every inch of her body.

Her body was trembling.

No.

She would not surrender like this.

Since Viola had already woken up, she would make a clean break of it.

Viola was poisoned, her body now weak... She was definitely not a match for her.

If Viola was to accompany her on the way to the nether world, her life wouldn't be considered an utter failure.

After all, Viola was a wealthy young lady and a talented student of Capital University.

Whereas she was now but a good-for-nothing who had lost everything.

She had never even had a loving family.

Rachel squinted, a cruel glint deliberately lighting up her eyes.

She picked up a vase from the bedside table and, with all her strength, brought it down on Viola's head.

Viola didn't even fight back.

She just stared at Rachel.

In the reflection of her eyes, Rachel was seen holding the vase high above her head.

It was then that a tall figure rushed in from outside the door and kicked Rachel across the room.

Thud.

Rachel was kicked to the floor, with an expression full of pain.

It hurt so much.

"Viola, are you okay?" Terrence Lentz helped Viola sit up.

"I'm fine," Viola replied.

Rachel watched the two of them, a tide of hatred welling up in her heart.

She felt intense hatred.

Viola was the one who was wrong in the first place.

But why did they push all the blame onto her?

And then there was Terrence Lentz.

As a grown man,

He actually hit a woman.

Such a man was not only a good-for-nothing but also a coward.

Disgusting.

Birds of a feather flock together, it's no surprise that he ended up with Viola.

It was around this time.

People started filing in from outside the sickroom.

That's right.

All this was part of a premeditated plan.

To provoke Rachel to attack.

Viola had actually been awake two hours after she was poisoned; she had just been pretending not to wake up to avoid arousing any suspicion.

The first to rush in from the door was Diana Hershey, pointing at Rachel, accusing harshly, "Rachel Barton! You're so heartless! Why did you have to harm Viola!"

She couldn't believe that the person who had poisoned Viola was Rachel.

It was Rachel!

The old friend Viola had tried so hard to bring back.

But now...

Flora Tiarks looked at Rachel, her face full of disbelief, her hands covering her mouth, "So it really was you!"

When she first discussed this incident with Fiona Knight, she had suspected Rachel.

But what surprised Flora was that it was indeed Rachel...

Rachel turned to Flora, " Y'all figured out it was me a while ago?"

Flora nodded, "It wasn't me who figured it out, it was Fiona. Rachel, 'what one sows, so shall he reap.'"

Hearing this,

Rachel's eyes were full of scorn.

She knew it.

She knew that Diana Hershey, Fiona Knight, and Flora Tiarks had never treated her as a friend.

Because of her humble background.

In the Five-Person Group, she was always the one who was not noticed as much.

Many times, Rachel felt she wasn't worthy of being good friends with Viola.

Viola was too dazzling.

She shone like a sun, outshining everyone else.

The people who appeared next to Viola were either dignitaries or a second rich generation.

And what about her?

She was just a country girl who had nothing.

Rachel tried hard to fit into the Five-Person Group, carefully interacting with them.

But even so, the four of them never truly accepted her.

Flora knew that she liked Mr. White, but she had never initiated a set-up between her and Mr. White; she just stood by and watched.
