A Moment in Destiny

Rae raised her head, glanced at Leonard, and said, “I’m sorry, Dad. I don’t think I remember Mr. James! Even if we used to be familiar with each other, we’ll also definitely be unfamiliar with each other after not seeing each other in so many years!”

Nobody expected Reuben to speak at this time, “Never mind, Rae. I still felt strangely familiar when I saw you. We don’t need much time to get familiar with each other. It’s exactly like back then! I’m sorry. I was not by your side when you were in the car accident, and I didn’t accompany you through your ordeal. It’s all my fault! I’ll make up to you in the future!”

Rae had an urge to go wild when she heard Reuben say these words shamelessly.

She knew, however, that she couldn’t take it easy when up against Reuben!

She wouldn’t even know how she died if she slacked off.

It was because Reuben was an evil, ruthless, and greedy man.

Reuben seemed to look through Rae’s mental activity. The smile on his lips widened even more.

When seeing Reuben like this, Rae pulled her lips and spoke, “Mr. James, since you said that we have an engagement, I have forgotten about this matter for the past five years. I had even forgotten about you. But what about you? You didn’t seem to contact me. Don’t use being busy as an excuse. That’s a really poor excuse, in my opinion! I couldn’t find a way to contact you, then did you not have a way to contact me? Or, in fact, in the past five years, you knew that you have an engagement, but you didn’t behave like a fiancé and had a girlfriend outside!”

Reuben, of course, understood what Rae meant. She probably wanted to warn him that he had a girlfriend in the past five years and to tell the parents of the Baxter family not to let her marry such a complicated man!

Reuben was amused when he saw Rae in this state.

He threw a wink to Rae, and all the banter was in his eyes.

Rae frowned and was irritated by Reuben’s banter, but she kept her feelings to herself and didn’t show them.

What kind of person was Leonard? He was an experienced businessman in the business world. Nothing could hide away from his eyes. He felt strange and curious as he looked at the turbulences at the bottom of Rae’s and Reuben’s eyes. He was contemplating the causes and effects of their relationship. The James family was the old friend family of the Baxter family at that time. Rae was only 18 years old at the time, and she had a good relationship with Reuben. Furthermore, Leonard knew that Rae and Reuben had lived together without informing their families at the time. But not sure why they quarreled after that. Later, Rae went to study and didn’t contact Leonard anymore. However, no one had formally proposed the engagement be withdrawn.

The James family didn’t talk about this matter for all these years. Leonard thought that they had broken up. He never expected Reuben to come back and talk about the engagement after all these years. Another reason Leonard didn’t mention the engagement was that Rae was involved in a car accident after that. There were some problems with her memories.

Actually, Leonard always doubted about memory loss. He didn’t believe there was such a thing as memory loss in this world. However, Rae appeared to have really lost her memories. And he didn’t like Rae during the two years. Not knowing what had stimulated her, she lived a promiscuous life at that time.

This disgraced him as a father. So, of course, he was unwilling to talk about it. Luckily, Rae was thoughtful now, and her relationship with them improved gradually.

The James family’s business was no longer as simple as it used to be. Initially, Leonard had already distanced himself from the James family. But Reuben quickly rose to prominence in the business world after returning to the country. He was indeed an elite!

Leonard had faith in Raphael at first. However, Raphael was having some difficulties right now. He was now more confident in Reuben. Reuben was not like his father, Stefan. Reuben’s company was conducting regular business and had no stigma on his company!

So, Leonard had selfish motives. If Reuben was really together with Rae, then he would pass on the Baxter family’s business to Reuben. It could be considered a success. Rae, after all, married into the James family and would not inherit the business.

If Reuben could become the ideal son-in-law of the Baxter family, he would not worry about the future of the Baxter family’s business even if he died now! All of his employees could be properly organized as well!

However, what about Rae?
