It was not like NE didn't know about Rachel's scandal, so why did he still choose her?
And he was unstable on the phone. He didn't sound as calm as usual. It must have something to do with Rachel.
"Stay out of this. I don't care what you think of Rachel. I want her to be the spokesperson.
"We'll see if I'm wrong!" Now this matter was not about the spokesperson, but pride. NE was desperate to prove himself right.
The call ended. Rachel found that he looked even worse than before.
"William, are you unhappy? I'm sorry... It's all my fault." She tugged his sleeve and apologized.
Nies turned to look at her and asked, "Is it true what they say?"
"Well, can you be more specific?" She didn't know what Adam had told him.
"You were the other woman and you pushed Tracey into the sea." William knew that she loved Sean and was with him now, but he didn't know how she got him.
"Did Adam say something? He is Tracey's boyfriend. Of course he's on Tracey's side." She hurriedly said.
"You didn't answer my question." William just wanted to know if she was indeed a terrible person.
"It's not completely true. I pushed her into the sea by accident. I touched her gently and she fell off her feet.
"There were a lot of people watching. How would I try to murder her when everyone was around? If she died, wouldn't I go jail? I wouldn't be that stupid." Rachel started twisting the facts.
At that time, all she could think about was killing Tracey, so much so that she completely forgot where she was!
"That makes sense. Killing someone in public sounds crazy. Well, then did you drug Tracey's ex and had sex with him?" William continued to ask.
In fact, what he cared about now was not Rachel's private life. He just wanted to know if he made the wrong decision.
Rachel knew how conceited he was. Adam must have just accused him of being wrong, like Tracey did. Conceited people hated to be told they were wrong.
She knew what William wanted to hear, and she would give it to him.
"William, that was a misunderstanding. I was only 18 at that time. How could I possibly have an aphrodisiac? And Tracey was my best friend. I liked Sean, but I didn't intend to break them up.
"I never meant to hurt Tracey. If I'd planned to seduce Sean, why didn't I drug him before he dated Tracey?
"Tracey was turning 18. I'd been staying at her house for a few days, planning her birthday.
"That night, however, Sean got drunk and went into my room by mistake. He thought I was Tracey. I had a terrible struggle in my heart.
"I liked him so much. Do you know what it's like to be unrequited? The moment he held me in his arms, I felt happier than I'd ever felt in my life."
