Chapter 79
Rachel couldn’t even tell if Samantha had truly forgotten to buy gifts for her mother, or if William simply wanted
to please his future mother-in-law by using Rachel's gifts
At night, after she was done with her IV drip and was preparing to hail a cab home, she walked past Samantha's
mother’s ward. She saw William seated on the chair, chatting with the elderly woman.
Samantha was standing by William's side with a knife in hand, peeling an apple. They were all smiles as they
chatted with each other, looking just like a happy family.
A sudden gust of wind blew in from the end of the corridor, Rachel couldn't hold back a shudder as she wrapped
A sudden herself tighter in her thin cardigan.
She retracted her gaze and turned to leave.
It was past nine at night by the tshe reached home. Since she hadn't had dinner, she ordered something
simple and fuss-free.
Since William gave her father’s gifts to Samantha’s mother, she had to wake up early the next day and make
another trip to the shopping mall.
That was exactly what Rachel did the next day when she woke up, buying all the gifts she did previously at mall
before taking a cab straight to her family home.
The living room was bustling with excitement, as if it didn’t make a difference whether she was there or not. She
smirked self-derisively. Things hadn't changed one bit.
The servants were the first ones to spot Rachel at the door, and swiftly announced, “Ms. Lloyd is back.”
Everyone in the living room turned their attention to her at once. Despite her greatest efforts to ignore it, Rachel
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcould still sense the hostility and antagonism.
She nodded at Mrs. Jones.
“Today is my father’s birthday. | cback to visit him.”
Mrs. Jones said with a bright smile, “Mr. Lloyd will be very glad. I'll tell him straight away.”
“Sure.”
Rachel was naturally very familiar with the house, but it all felt so strange to her at the stime.
She had just stepped into the house when she felt a slight piercing pain on her face. She cupped her right cheek
and heard gleeful laughter coming from the living room.
“I hit the target! | hit it!”
A little boy was all smiles as he stood a short distance away with a slingshot in hand.
“Henry, you hit somebody! Watch out, or I'll tell your dad about it.”
A lady with a svelte figure approached her, speaking with a gentle voice as melodious as that of a nightingale.
“I'm so sorry, Rachel. Henry is still young, so please forgive him.’
Rachel’s heart trembled. She was nothing but a mere “somebody” in this house.
What else could she expect? She was not a legitimate daughter of this family, unlike her younger sister Yvette.

Yvette was the only one her mother and father treated as their own.
Rachel naturally had no reason to pick on a nine-year-old. She was back just to see her father, perhaps for the
very last time.
“Yeah, it's Father's birthday today. I'm back to see him.”
Yvette drew closer to Rachel and surveyed the latter from lead to toe. She then crossed her arms and chuckled
coldly.

But this time, things were different.
“It’s fine. I'll leave right after seeing Father,” Rached said calmly.
With that, she took a step past Yvette, who also moved to block her way.
Yvette’s brows furrowed, clearly losing her patience. “Did you not understand what | said?”
