The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 151

Rachel took a deep breath, a gentle smile spreading across her face.

"Your name's Marvin, right? When did you get here?"

Marvin replied honestly, "Been here for a while. I heard everything you guys were talking about."

"So, Ms. Pearce, it was you who told Keen that we stopped the doctor from

helping him, and that Mr. O'Brien was lying. I need to ask Mr. O'Brien why he lied, don't you think?"

"No!" Rachel quickly stopped Marvin. "Marvin, you heard wrong. Sweetheart, that's not what she said."

Marvin tilted his head, looking at her, then turned to Keen. "She didn't say that? Then what did she tell you? Did she mention that Stella and I tried to help you, but she interfered, almost costing you your life?"

Rachel's face changed, just as she was about to speak, Keen burst out angrily. "You're lying! It was you who stopped the doctor from helping me!"

Marvin chimed in, "So, the sun really did rise in the west, pigs really have wings, and they can climb trees, huh?"
