All Chapters of 어둠 속에서 진실을 이야기.: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Even though Susie was forced to yield, she continued to speak warmly. James could not deny that he liked this part of her very much. She could control her emotions and consider the bigger picture during crucial moments, so even if she were to throw a little fit after that, James could put up with it.This was also the reason why after all these years, even after James found out the truth about her, he did not divorce Susie.“We are two different families.”Seeing the frightened look on her mother’s face, all of Annie’s suppressed anger surfaced. She lifted her head and looked straight at Susie as she replied.She had some affection for James, but none for Susie.Throughout the years, she had always hated that mother-daughter duo.“Annie, what are you saying…”Susie stared at Annie as if she had received a shock. Was this intimidating woman really the Annie she knew?She used to be cowardly, timid, and meek. Was she just faking her imposing manner now?“Can't you understand t

The other salesperson brought out the most expensive sets of suits and placed it in front of Ziggy. While Ziggy was taking his time to choose the suit he wanted, the other salesperson pulled the one attending to Ziggy aside. "What are you doing? Why are you attending to a lone child, what business can he bring you?" "You don't know, but he has a diamond credit card!" "Look at the clothes he's wearing, I’m sure it didn't cost more than 200 quids to buy everything that he's wearing right now, so how would he possess a diamond card? I bet his family is not even rich. The diamond card is probably a fake or he stole it somewhere, it just doesn't make sense for him to own the card!" "... Well, when you put it like that, it kinda makes sense!" "It makes all the senses, alright? Now find an excuse to chase him away!" The sales lady then approached Ziggy. "Little boy, are you thinking none of these suits suit you? Do you want to go somewhere else to have a look?" Ziggy simply lo

Anne was a little distracted as she stared at Rachel. 'No wonder Nathan would put so much effort on a newcomer like her.' Aside from her superior talent, Rachel also exuded a delicate air that not many rich ladies have, and that face... As the door opened, Nathan's first look at Rachel was on her lanky, pretty legs with an eye-catching crystal heel. Following that, Rachel exited the car in a pure white dress that showed off her flawless shoulder and delicate clavicles. The dress was so white that it was almost translucent, but it reflected light like the wings of an angel, and it barely exposed anything that was not supposed to show.The slanted high-low skirt puffed naturally and gracefully, exposing her fair, lanky legs. On top of that, the skirt was sprinkled with diamonds that resemble stars in the night sky or beautiful morning dew. Her dark brown hair sat naturally on her shoulders. Her irises were clear and bright, her brows were dainty, and her long lashes quivered sli

The more she tried to remember, the more her head ached. It was as if her head was going to explode. She held her head painfully. "Rachel, are you alright?" Nathan's worried voice caught her attention. After recovering from the pain, Rachel stopped trying to recall the deep, dark secrets of her past life. Holding onto her shoulders, Nathan asked, "Rachel, what happened to you?" Rachel shook her head lightly. "It's nothing. So sorry I made you worry." Nathan sighed in relief. "As long as you're okay." Before Rachel could respond, a middle-aged pair approached them with their glasses of red wine. "This is Mr. Chapman, isn't it?" The middle-aged man gestured at Nathan with his glass and smiled.Hearing the middle-aged man's voice, Rachel froze in shock. 'Isn't that dad's voice? Then the woman beside him...' The middle-aged woman spoke as she looked at Rachel, "This is your date for tonight, isn't it? She looks beautiful! This dress must have cost a tiny fortune on

Rachel lowered her gaze. 'Hmph! Rue, I am more than just someone you know!' Nathan grabbed Rachel's shoulder and smiled. "It's alright, she's even more low-profile than I am. I won't say who she is, but you'll meet again anyhow." Without any particular reason, Rue felt a little rueful.She was incredibly curious about the woman in front of her, who seemed to draw more attention than she did, and it made her envious at the same time! 'I should be the one in the spotlight tonight!' 'I am Mrs. Bluemel!' 'I married the man every woman wants!' 'Yet this woman took two-thirds of the attention away from me tonight!' How would she be able to endure that disrespect? This familiar-yet-foreign loss made her think of another person! Rachel! Rachel clenched her jaw. 'It could not be Rachel!' 'This is the highest class of social event, how would Rachel be able to come in?' "Oh, what a shame that I can't find out who the lady is." Rue sighed dramatically. Rachel squinte

Nathan corrected her, "Isn't the saying 'Cheater draws first blood?' " Rachel shot Nathan a glare of fake anger before she shrugged. "Well, that's for cheaters, and I'm not a cheater." Nathan nodded with a grin. "Alright then, beauty draws first blood!" After Edward studied Rachel for a little, he found familiarity in her voice. It was so similar to the nymph that fateful night. However, he would not conclude immediately that she was the nymph that night. He had found many people who sounded similar to the voice, but none of them was the mysterious lady who had captured his heart. Besides, having a similar voice profile would not explain anything. "Nathan, aren't you going to introduce your partner to me?" Nathan nodded to Edward's question. "This is Rachel, you know her, I've told you before. Her name is Rachel B..." Rachel reached out and covered Nathan's mouth. She looked a little dissatisfied. "That's alright. Simple introduction, remember? We talked about how

The moment Rue looked down and saw Ziggy on her leg, her brows knitted together in irritation. Ziggy was wearing a mask, so even though his figure was familiar to her, Rue did not have time to consider extraneous questions while talking about the Bennets’ future. Frustrated, she kicked aside Ziggy who was preparing to speak. "Whose child is this? Don't randomly hug people!" Ziggy immediately let go. 'Even though this woman looks like mommy, her voice and tone are completely different!''Mommy will never be that rude!' 'But why would this woman look like mommy?' Ziggy stood calmly by the side, glancing at Rue, Mr. Bennet, and Mrs. Bennet alternatively. He paused as he stared at Mrs. Bennet as though he had suddenly thought of something. 'This middle-aged lady looks familiar.' His memory cycled quickly like a rapidly moving Powerpoint presentation and eventually stopped at the time when he was outside of the Comer manor. 'Oh, that's the grandmother who had bullied mo

Edward looked at Rue coldly as he tightened his grip on her wrist. "You're asking me? What have you done?!" Rue looked at Edward in confusion. "What are you talking about, Edward? I don't understand." Edward pointed at the loudspeakers. "You're polluting the ball into a night club." Rue was stunned with disbelief. "What? Didn't you change the music?" "Am I that tasteless?" Edward brushed Rue's hands aside. However, Rue held onto his arm tightly. "Edward, I didn't change the music. I have been talking with my parents, where do I have the time to change it?" Edward looked at Rue coldly. "Only you and I can change the music. So who else, in your wise opinions, can do that aside from us? Do you mean to say that I asked for this kind of music?" Rue twitched her lips. Their argument seemed to have garnered quite a bit of attention. "There's no point for us to argue like this. Let's just change it back!" Edward flung Rue's hand away and walked toward the stage. Clenching h

Ziggy squinted and whispered into his ring. "Coccinelle, come back." While everyone was focused on Rue's body, something the size of a fingernail burrowed its way out of the evening dress and flew toward Ziggy... At the same time, Rachel sipped on her orange juice as she enjoyed the sights. Seeing the spectacle onstage and unable to contain herself, she spat the orange juice out accidentally. Edward, who was walking toward her, got the brunt of the spat orange juice. As a result, Edward's suit was half-drenched with the splash of sweet-smelling juice against it. His face tensed as unhappiness washed over his face. Rachel was caught off-guard for a few seconds before she smiled at Edward awkwardly. "I apologize. I just saw something really astonishing, I couldn't help it." Edward looked at her with his signature cold gaze. "Go on and explain to me what is so astonishing. If you can't explain it to me, you're done for." Nathan held Rachel's hand in an attempt to plead

When Rachel turned around, she immediately felt that her hands were grabbed by two different people. Different hands, and different warmth. On one hand, it was a piercing chill, and on the other hand, it was a warming affection. Nathan and Edward looked at each other awkwardly. After a second contact with Rachel, Edward was sure about one thing. His body did not reject the woman in front of him. Strangely, if he did sleep with Rue that night, why would his body reject Rue? Rachel glared at both of the men with dismay as she pulled both her hands out. Nathan smiled stiffly. "Rachel, it's not as safe as you think. Don't go alone." Rachel shook her head. "Don't worry, I'm just looking for someone I know." Leaving the words behind, Rachel turned around and disappeared into the crowd. Nathan took a step forward in pursuit but was held back by Edward. "Edward, don't hold me back. It's not safe for her to go alone." Edward did not let go of Nathan's arm. "What is her
