When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 834: A Ruthless Person

Just when Jasmine Quinn was about to furiously throw the cup of hot water at Rachel Sherman’s face, she saw her brother Chase appear from around the corner in the distance, catching her eye.

Jasmine Quinn gritted her teeth and poured the entire cup of scalding hot water onto herself—

"Ah—!" With a horrific scream, she leaned back as if she had been forcefully pushed, and fell to the ground.

The searing pain enveloped her, as if invisible flames were burning her neck, chest, and arms.

Rachel Sherman was frightened by her actions! She took two steps back, instinctively frowned and covered her mouth.

"Ah! It hurts! It hurts so much..." She curled up on the ground, in immense pain yet pitifully asked, "Secretary Sherman, why are you so cruel? Did you really throw hot water on me? It hurts so much..."

Before Rachel could say anything, Chase Fletcher arrived by Rachel’s side, and Jasmine Quinn’s scream just now had also attracted quite a crowd.

What everyone saw was—

Secretary Sherman standing there holding documents with a startled face, while Jasmine Quinn lay on the ground in pain, her exposed skin red and blistering, a wet patch on the floor.

"Chase, are you blind? How could you marry such a vicious woman?" Jasmine Quinn endured the pain, "I just asked if she was with you, and she actually poured hot water on me!"

She was in so much pain that her face twisted, her voice trembling.

Rachel originally wanted to help her, but being falsely accused, she could only stand still, feeling completely numb.

"Quick! Quick, send her to the hospital!" Chase Fletcher ordered immediately, and soon someone came to help Jasmine Quinn up, while others dialed 120...

"It hurts, it hurts so much..." She looked so pathetic, and her injuries were severe.

Chase Fletcher was obviously shocked by what had happened, as he looked at the pool of water on the ground, seemingly still steaming.

The cup, however, was not broken, just lying there quietly.

The surrounding employees, all aware that Secretary Sherman and President Fletcher were married, glanced at them and wisely turned to leave.

Soon, only Chase Fletcher and Rachel Sherman were left.

Rachel slowly came back to her senses, she turned her gaze to Chase Fletcher, "Do you believe me? I didn’t touch her, she did it herself."

Chase Fletcher’s eyes were profound; he hadn’t seen the beginning of the incident but of course he trusted Rachel, although... someone who could splash hot water on herself was certainly ruthless.

His lack of immediate response to her question made Rachel feel a bit disappointed inside.

A wave of bitterness surged in her heart, and she turned to walk into the office.

"Rachel!" Chase quickly followed, "Listen to me!" He stepped forward and grabbed her shoulder.

"You don’t believe me at all." Rachel looked at him emotionally, "She will definitely complain to your parents, and if even you don’t believe me, what should I... what should I do?"

"I will show the surveillance to my parents." He pulled her into his arms, "I’m sorry, I let you suffer."

Enduring so much gossip, of course, it was painful! Just now, the company employees didn’t know what they’d gossip about behind their backs.

But Rachel knew he had been very busy lately, and she felt sorry for him, especially since he often suffered from insomnia and the pressure of work was high.

"Chase, it’s okay." She gently pushed him away, "It’s my fault, I caused you trouble." Earlier, she shouldn’t have wasted time talking with Jasmine Quinn, she shouldn’t have stopped.

Chase Fletcher smoothed her hair, "Rachel, I want to announce our relationship personally, I want... to prepare some wedding sweets for tomorrow, to give everyone in the company a share, I want to make it official for you."

"Jasmine Quinn is injured and hospitalized, and you want to announce it now?" Rachel didn’t want to become the focus of speculation, "She looks... she seems quite seriously hurt, let’s wait a bit."
