Chapter 1736 Why Bother?


    The Markee family valued men over women.


    When she feltpletely hopeless with no one to rely on, it was Vincent''s mother who took her in.


    Though they had been doing quite well over the years, she no longer kept in touch with her. James had


    never once helped her out.


    His appearance right now is a coincidence, but his helping me out is definitely nned.


    "Regardless of what happened, you are still a part of the Markee family, and I''m your biological uncle. I


    can''t possibly see you being pestered by another man."


    His cool, logical exnation sounded.


    Rachel felt a strong urge to ask, "If that''s the case, why did I end up being adopted by Vincent''s mother


    back then? Why haven''t you helped my predicament all this while, not even once?"


    Nevertheless, she sessfully reigned herself.


    I''ve already separated myself from the family. There''s no point asking those questions now.


    Still, she gave a perfunctory nod. "Thanks for the help. Is there anything else? If not–"


    "Where are you heading? I''ll give you a ride."


    Rachel was about to leave, but James interrupted before she could even finish her sentence.


    She knew he was one of the biggest shareholders of Bt Group, and he had never given Elisa a


    hard time. Is he genuinely offering to send me home without any other reasons?


    She found it hard to believe.


    Regardless, James saw through her thoughts.


    "You seem to bear quite a lot of animosity toward me. Or could it be that I''ve disappointed you


    unknowingly?"


    "No. I''m just curious about all this." We barely talk to each other, after all.


    "There''s nothing to be curious about. Back then, leaving you with that woman was the best option. You


    know very well that men are treated with more importance in our family. Your grandparents–"


    "Uncle James, it''s not important anymore. As for what you''re about to say, I''m sure it''s about the family,


    which I''m not a part of anymore. I like to be blunt and straightforward, so please cut to the chase if you


    have anything to tell me. Otherwise, please drop me at the next turn."


    Rachel was triggered after hearing about the inequality between men and women once again. She


    could feel her anger soaring through the roof as soon as the topic was mentioned.


    They are the only ones with such a backward and conservative mindset in this era!


    James responded swiftly, "Nothing much. I''d like you to help Elisa since you''re awyer." Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Several board meetings had been held, all to kick Elisa out of thepany. After all, Elisa was


    Nelson''s only daughter, and Bt Corporation was his most treasured possession.


    That was the only request he made.


    Rachel was slightly surprised to hear that.


    "Of course, that goes without saying. Elisa is my best friend. I would definitely do everything I can to


    help her. Is there anything else?"


    "Your grandfather is turning eighty in a few days, and he''s going to throw a grand party. Just want to let


    you know about that. Remember to attend – we are going to take a family photo."


    Rachel let out a snort ofughter after hearing that. They didn''t care about my livelihood when they


    abandoned me back then; now that he''s having a big party, he wants me in the photos. About time,


    huh? Didn''t theypletely ignore my existence back then?


    "None of you spoke up for me back then. Not just that – the old man despised me so much. It''s better


    that I don''t go back and be an eyesore to him."
