Chapter 5: Back To The Be Family


    “What’s wrong, Vi? Have you forgotten about me because you haven’t seen me for a long time?”


    Rachel asked.


    Vi Lyons swallowed hard nervously. For some reason, her feet felt cold.


    “Mi-Miss Rachel, you’re back,” she stammered.


    Rachel took a step forward. “That’s right. I’m back, and I’m staying this time. Vi, go clean up my


    bedroom.”


    Vi lowered her gaze and pursed her lips, unable to respond. ‘Her bedroom?’ Rachel didn’t have a


    bedroom in this house anymore. Alice had already upied her old bedroom.


    However, Vi didn’t want to say that out loud. If this had happened in the past, she wouldn’t have


    hesitated to say it. However, it looked like Rachel had changed so much. She had be a terrifying


    woman, and Vi was so scared of her that it felt difficult to breathe.


    “Who’s home right now?” Rachel looked around and saw that the garden’syout hadn’t changed in the


    past two years. Everything was the same as before.


    “Your father, his wife, and Miss Alice are all here,” Vi replied.


    “Great! That saves me the effort of looking for them,” Rachel said as she walked through the front yard


    and entered the house.


    Inside the living room.


    “Mom, which one looks better on me? This one or the previous one?” Alice asked, fiddling with the


    diamond ne around her neck.


    “Silly girl, the other one is more expensive. You’re going to attend Mr. Sullivan’s banquet, so you should


    wear something more expensive.” The middle-aged woman grabbed the ne on the table. It was


    embedded with a sapphire, and it looked more expensive and exquisite. Gently, she put it around


    Alice’s neck.


    Alice looked at the sapphire ne and touched the gleaming gem. She couldn’t resist the urge to


    smile at how beautiful it looked.


    She put down her hand, walking to the other end of the sofa, sat down next to a middle-aged man, and


    held his arm.


    “Dad, look at it! It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” Alice asked, blinking her beautiful eyes.


    Jack Jenkins looked at his daughter, caressing her head. “My daughter is the most beautiful woman in


    the world. No matter what you wear, you’ll look divine!”


    Hearing that put a smile on Alice’s face. “Dad, if mom hears you say that I’m the most beautiful in the


    world, she’ll get jealous.”


    Caroline Jenkins chimed in, “Why would I be jealous? You silly little girl. You enjoy making fun of me,


    don’t you?”


    Amused, Jack held Caroline’s hand and chuckled. “To me, you and your mother are the most beautiful


    women in existence.”


    Alice leaned against his shoulder and smiled, while Caroline lowered her head because she felt a little


    shy to hear that.


    All of a sudden, they heard someone pping.


    The happiness dissipated from their faces when they saw who was at the door.


    Rachel tilted her head and put down her hands. “What a happy family you all are. I am so moved by


    this scene. What about you, Mr. Torres?”


    On their way to this vi, Andy learned that Rachel had been suffering these past few years. Initially, he


    believed that even after Elisa’s death, Rachel would live afortable life because she was thedy of


    a rich family, and sheter married to Victor, a business tycoon.


    Andy was filled with rage when he knew how miserable Rachel’s life was. He just stood there, looking


    at them with anger.


    “Rachel! What are you doing here?” Alice was the first to react.


    Rachel scoffed at her, walked to the sofa, and sat down.


    Meanwhile, Andy happened to hear Alice’s question. He followed Rachel and stood behind her.


    “Miss Jenkins, this is Miss Be’s house. If she wants toe back, she’s permitted to do so


    whenever she wants.”


    “Who do you think you are? Was I even talking to you?” Alice scolded Andy, and red at him.


    Courteou


    sly, he replied, “I am her personalwyer.”


    Alice snorted with disdain. “Everyone is iming to be awyer these days. Rachel, Victor has thrown


    you out of his house, and you have nowhere else to go. Do you think you cane back and live here


    just because you hired awyer? No way! Get the hell out of here! You’re not wee in this


    household!”


    After saying that, Alice strode forward and tried to grab Rachel’s arm, intending to drag her outside.


    But to her surprise, Rachel managed to dodge her. Secondster, Alice felt a stinging sensation in her


    neck, causing her to groan in pain and cover her neck.


    Rachel, on the other hand, stood calmly as she held the ne that Alice was wearing just now,


    albeit it had been stained with blood now.


    “How dare you?” Alice lost her temper. She immediately tried to hit Rachel, but there was an


    imperceptible smile on Rachel’s face. Just before Alice’s hand could reach her face, Rachel grabbed


    Alice’s wrist, and then she kicked her knee. And then she let go of her.


    Alice cried out in pain.


    She dropped to her knees, falling to the ground.


    “Alice!” Caroline quickly went to her daughter’s side to help her up. She never imagined that this bitch,


    Rachel, would dare to hit her daughter.


    Rachel looked at the ne in her hand. “If I remember correctly, this ne is supposed to be


    mine, right?”


    With a pale face, Alice gritted her teeth, trying to take back the ne. “That’s mine!”


    However, Rachel withdrew her hand, and sat back on the sofa. “This ne is worth at least millions


    of dors. Alice, didn’t you tell me that you had no money to buy a dress worth only ten thousand


    dors? You even manipted me into buying it for you, remember? When did you be so rich to


    have a ne like this?”


    That statement made Alice’s face turn ghastly pale. “That’s none of your business! The ne is


    mine! Give it back, or I’m calling the police to arrest you for robbery!”


    Rachel crossed her legs, leaned back against the sofa, and didn’t say anything for a moment. She just


    looked at the three of them in silence.


    Alice was scared by the way she was looking at them. She suddenly remembered what Rachel had


    told her three days ago. ‘I will make you suffer for what you’ve done to me today!’


    “You see, sapphires are rare. That’s why every sapphire is engraved with a special serial number with a


    laser. Alice, you said that this ne is yours, so you must know what that serial number is, right?”


    Rachel said with derision.


    Alice was dumbfounded. The serial number? Did sapphires have numbers? How was she supposed to


    know that? She just took this ne from Rachel’s jewelry box that she left at home.


    Looking a bit guilty, Alice retorted, “Who will pay special attention to a stupid serial number when they


    buy a ne? The number is too long to remember!”


    “Oh, you don’t remember, do you?” Rachel didn’t seem to care what Alice had said. She just put on a


    sardonic smile to mock her.


    “It’s okay. Since you bought this ne, you should have an appraisal certificate. The serial number


    is written on it too. Once the policee, just take out the certificate and show it to them.”


    Alice began to panic. Hesitantly, she stammered, “I- I…”


    “What? Are you going to tell me that you lost the appraisal certificate?” Rachel saw through Alice’s


    farce, so she interrupted her and continued, “It’s not a big deal if you lost the certificate. The police will


    look into it.”


    Alice’s face darkened.


    At this moment, Rachel paused when she noticed that Alice fell silent. Secondster, she asked,


    “What’s the matter? Didn’t you want to call the police to arrest me for robbery? Go ahead, call them.”Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.
