The Apple of My Eye

Chapter 376 Rachel's Schemes

"Not necessarily."

Looking him straight in the eye, Autumn sneered, "My husband is more mature and well-rounded than

you. You're nothing compared to him. Have you even looked at yourself? There's nothing you could be This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

proud of."

Hearing Autumn's words left Roger baffled.

He realized he had been too confident all along.

And now he was going to meet his inevitable end.

"As for the other points you confidently raised, I found nothing that can change my mind. Betraying my

husband is the last thing that I would ever want to do, " Autumn said, relentlessly undermining Roger.

After all of what had been said, Roger felt like a fool by Autumn's words.

"You need to wake up, Roger.

Even if Rachel has a stellar career, she is a substandard play-writer, " she continued further.

"I don't understand what you mean, " Roger said, pretending to be confused.

He felt more uneasy at the mention of Rachel. He wondered how Autumn came to know about their

relationship. But he had no choice but to deny it at all cause.

"Don't you know about Rachel?" Autumn asked, pouncing another question to Roger with full

confidence.

"Rachel is easily one of the most powerful personalities in the world of show business!"

"I am well-aware of that.

But it's actually the other way around, " he said in response.

On that point, Roger already wanted to leave. "Miss Zhao, I think I should go now. This conversation

isn't going anywhere and I am clearly taking away a lot of your time, " he said.

"But if you find yourself at the other end of the fence, feel free to reach out to me, " said Roger, giving

his parting words.

"Wait! Give me more time, " Autumn called, stopping Roger in his tracks.

"I actually have something important to discuss with you."

She assisted Roger to go back to his seat and heartlessly said, "I can remove the quarrel between

Rachel and you because you decline any knowledge of her. However...

I want another agreement to make."

"And that is?"

Remorse ran over Roger now as he looked at her with intuition after discovering Autumn's strength and

power, gambling to play her game.

"You don't have to worry about anything as you will be rewarded well if you decide to engage into the

service because I have my husband to render whatever you like. Now, let me ask you.

What do you fancy above all?"

Autumn asked Roger with great composure.

"What do you mean by saying so? Do you want to win me over?"

Roger was somewhat moved because of Autumn's reputation, which was tied with Charles and Zhao

family. Rachel, on the other hand, only relied on Edward.

Roger believed he could get whatever he wanted from Autumn, but....

He had to know whether he could meet Autumn's end.

"Win you over? It is more of a collaboration than a bribery, " said Autumn, letting off a cold smile.

Autumn looked at Roger with disdain and continued, "I understand that you find it hard to disclose what

you and Rachel have evolved. But you must understand that it's just an easy job for me to uncover

what you have with Rachel. But don't worry, I won't spill the beans yet.

I am still waiting for you to admit it

As a gesture of mutual willingness for our collaboration."

Autumn registered another heartless look. "You must go to decide wisely on my offer, as this

opportunity will only come once."

After thoroughly thinking about the offer, Roger uttered, "Alright, I am willing to serve you at your

command!"

Expecting the favorable answer from Roger to her irresistible deal, Autumn approached him in joy.

"First things first, kindly tell me what you want in return."

"I want..."

Roger managed to give Autumn his answer, "to be more popular than Rachel within the half year."

"Alright, that's a deal for us."

Autumn nodded to show her approval. "Now.....

Tell me, what did Rachel ask you to do?"

Roger was not hesitant to spill everything to Autumn. "I would be engaged with Rachel if I managed to

meet all the deeds she entrusted me to do. I would loose everything if I failed her.

"So you mean there was... an illicit relationship between you and Rachel." Autumn challenged Roger

with a question.

Roger was sheepish and disgraced at Autumn's question. "Yes, I had that type of relationship with

Rachel because it is important for my survival in Y City. To your knowledge, she is married with a

middle-aged man named Edward Lu and she found him unsatisfied in bed. So Rachel depended on me

regarding her pregnancy to acquire his husband's estate from Chris."

Autumn was shocked at the realization of Rachel's plan to win Edward's heart through her pregnancy. If

Rachel succeeded with her plans, Chris wouldn't be viable to inherit Edward's wealth.

"Let me clarify. Did Rachel ask you to stay with me while shooting my nude photos?"

Autumn curiously asked, "Why? What would it benefit her?"
