A Journey from Bitterness to Truth (Matilda and Yvan) novel Chapter 490

Rachel's voice trembled with tears as she asked him, "Yvan, have you already condemned me in your heart?"

Was she to be looked down upon by Yvan forever just because of an unfortunate incident with Matilda? All she did was get that woman locked up for five years! Considering Matilda was after her man, death wouldn't have been too harsh!

A vicious look flashed in Rachel's eyes, quickly masked by her trembling body as she clenched her fists. "Then... then I won't bother you anymore," she said, her voice pitiful.

The more she tried to look pitiable, the more Carl despised Rachel. Her only way to keep a man was by playing the victim, eliciting sympathy and guilt from others. But such tactics were beneath Matilda.

Many tried to mimic the innocent act, but even if they were crushed to pieces—Sea City had only one Matilda.

Pushing her wheelchair away, Rachel probably thought Yvan, feeling guilty, would chase after her to help. But Yvan just let Carl close the door, cutting off Rachel's hopeful gaze.

She stood frozen outside the office.

Passersby whispered, "Did you see her? That's the woman who faked her own death!"

"Really? She looks so innocent, too scared to even stand up for Matilda and reveal the truth..."

"If Mr. Boyd really marries someone like her... man, his reputation would be ruined."
