Twisted Fates: A Game of Love and Retribution

Chapter 8: 8. A Stranger's Gaze



Rachel Foster reflected on Kingsly's reaction when he saw her—strange, disdainful, distant, with a calmness reserved for strangers. It seemed he honestly had forgotten her due to the accident.

She leaned against the headboard, her eyes fixed on the photo of his accident, feeling a strange dryness in her eyes. Many lose memories, forgetting the person they least want to face or the most painful events. If he had forgotten her, she must have been a source of great pain.

Once, she had prayed for him to forget her and for his future to be smooth. She had endured and suffered so much. Now, her prayers had been answered. He was successful, happily married, and unattainable at the pinnacle of his career.

He didn't remember her anymore... That was good... really good.

With only a week left before Jasper Reed would be formally charged, Rachel had to persuade Kingsly Scott to help. But how?

A magazine reported that Kingsly recently enjoyed playing golf at the newly opened Yilin Club in the city's suburbs. The club was exclusive and catered to the wealthy, with a top-tier golf course surrounded by lush greenery and privacy.

Using Jasper's identity, Rachel obtained a membership card and arrived early at the Yilin Club. While waiting for Kingsly, she played a few rounds, the refreshing air invigorating her senses.

Her golf skills were impressive, and she managed several precise shots. Suddenly, a magnetic and steady voice came from behind. "Miss Foster, your golf skills are quite impressive."

Startled, Rachel turned to see Kingsly Scott, accompanied by an elegant woman she recognized as Natalie Lewis, a leading actress. Surprised to see someone other than his wife with Kingsly, Rachel momentarily forgot to speak.

Kingsly greeted her briefly, seemingly out of politeness, and was about to walk away with Natalie.

"Mr. Scott..." Rachel quickly spoke up, moving in front of him. "I really need your help."

Kingsly raised an eyebrow.

"We can discuss this further. You can set any conditions if you're willing to help Jasper."

Kingsly smiled, gracefully declining. "Sorry, I'm swamped."

"Kingsly..."

He gently kissed Natalie on the cheek, ignoring Rachel's plea, and said tenderly to the beauty beside him, "Let's go play golf." With that, he walked away with Natalie.

Rachel stood there, stunned for a long time.
