Chapter 66
Rachel stared at George. You rally want to….
She looked at the skinny girl, her faer beaming with sweetness. Rachel thought. Seems like she really has her eyes set on George!
They must’ve spotted his expensive watch and thought he was rich, planning to trap him here for good.
George glanced back at her and said quietly, Just agree for now. What else can we do! Let’s drag things out. I believe Mortimer and the others will
Rachel knew this wasn’t going to be easy. There were over a hundred people here, and while she could handle a couple of villagers, this many… it was too much to face with just her fists. She sighed. “But what about Callie? If she finds out, won’t she be heartbroken?”
George’s temper flared. Was she really thinking about that right non
He released her and faced the couple with resolve. Till marry her. What are we doing for the wedding? Tell me
Immediately, the crowd erupted into cheers, and Rachel watched helplessly as George was escorted away by the couple. Her heart sank. Herb, Mortimer, please hurry. If not, George is really going to become their village husband“:”
As they led Rachel to another rooms, a foul odor hit her. She stopped in her tracks, her eyes scanning the room. No way. You’re making me stay here! She realized she was in a chicken coop
“Wait, you want me to stay in here!”
Before she could protest further, they shoved her inside.
she slumped to the ground, staring at the door as she yelled, “What’s this? Just because George has money, you’re forcing him to marry your daughter, but me? You lock me up in a chicken coop? You think I’m broke! Ive got money too, you know! Stop looking down on me!”
But the people outside didn’t care about her complaints. Moments later, music started playing.
Rachel’s lips twitched. “No, they’re not seriously going to hold a wedding tonight, are they!
That meant George was about to lose his innocence tonight, didn’t in?
Driven by impulse, Rachel stood up, ready to burst out the door. But then she paused, glancing at her belly. Something wasn’t right.
Why did she want to leave? George was Callie’s husband, not hers.
If something happened between him and another woman, it was Callie who should be heartbroken, not her.
Im pregnant. I need to protect myself.
George Hood among the villagers, watching them prepare makeshift wedding utensils and ceremonial items. His brow furrowed deeply The shy, bushing girl stood in front of him, staring at him adoringly
Sighing. George asked, “Do you really want to marry me?”

The girl quickly raised her head, saying, “No man here is as handsome as you. I want to marry you. I’ll be better to you than your wife is. I saw the glared at you earlier. She must not treat you well”
I was clear to anyone that Rachel had an issue with him.
George’s frustration deepened, but when he saw the girls concerned gaze, he couldn’t bring himself to be harsh. He sighed deeply. “You’ve misunderstood Its not that she doesn’t treat me well, it’s that I’m not a good husband. Im not a good man she’s suffered a lot bring with me, so it’s rarily natural for her to treat me badly now!
He wasn’t sure if the girl understood, but she tilted her head in confusion and said, “Ikon believe that I know you’re a good person. If I’m good to you, you’ll be pood to me, ito. My mom always says, if you treat a new well, he’ll feel it.”
George thought back to athel had treated him
She had married him without hesitation, asking for nothing. After the wedding, she’ll suppressed her own pride, becoming the obedient wife. Did the think the same way? That if she treated him well, he would feel int
He inhaled deeply and said, “But we’re from different works. If you marry me. The girl smiled brightly. “My mom 1/2

Chapter 66
George realized there was no reasoning with her.
Just then, the door burst open, and people rushed in. The ceremony was about to begin.
George’s heart sank as he realized he wasn’t ready for this. He looked around at the crowd, all excited to start the wedding… but Rachel was nowhere to be found.
His worry grew. “Where’s Rachel?” he asked urgently.
“Why do you care about her someone scoffed. “Once you marry, your wife will be Annie.
The mention of Rachel made George even more anxious. “What’s going on!
Rachel couldn’t possibly be in danger, could she? No, she wasn’t the kind of woman who could just be tossed around.
Still, she was a woman
Suddenly, George realized how deeply her image had imprinted on his mind. Back when they hated each other, he never imagined he’d be this worried about her now.
At that moment, everyone swarmed around George, pushing him toward the bridal bed.
This is a nightmare, George thought bitterly. “When I was with Rachel, things never went this badly. The moment we’re apart, everything goes wrong. Why is my luck so terrible now?
Just as he was about to be thrown onto the bed, the unmistakable sound of helicopter blades roared in the distance.
George’s head snapped up, hope surging through him.
The crowd turned, startled, all looking toward the sound
“What’s that noise
“What’s happening”
Everyone turned their gaze outside, and George seized the opportunity to push past the people holding him back. “They’ve found us! Mortimer, I’m here!” he shouted, running toward the door.
The helicopter descended slowly, sending the crowd scattering in all directions.
George rushed outside, waving frantically. “Mortimer! Over here! Come down now!”
The helicopter landed smoothly, and a man hopped out with swift precision.
But when George looked up, his expression froze in shock.
It wasn’t Mortimer who had come. It was Herb
Herb’s eyes darted between George’s disheveled form and the scene before him. His expression darkened as he st George? Where did she go?”
He spoke with an unsettling familiarity.
stepped forward, “Where’s Rachel
