Chapter 469: 167: Conspiracy Revealed (Second Update)



Beatrice, who was feeding the chickens in the yard, heard the noise and immediately looked at Gregory, “You go up quickly.”

Rachel usually woke up at seven or eight o’clock.

Didn’t expect her to wake up so early today.

Beatrice squinted her eyes.

“Alright.” Gregory picked up the key and ran upstairs quickly.

“Don’t worry, baby, Daddy’s here!”

Hearing Gregory’s voice, Rachel breathed a sigh of relief, “Dad, the door seems to be locked, can you see what’s going on!”

“It’s okay, it’s okay,” Gregory had already thought of an excuse, “It seems to be blown shut by the wind, this lock of ours should have been changed a long time ago.”

There are many trees and strong winds in the countryside, so Rachel didn’t think much about it, she just asked, “Can it be opened now?”

“Yes.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Gregory unlocked the door.

“Are you alright, baby?” Gregory smiled kindly.

Rachel shook her head, “I’m fine, I was just a little scared when the door got locked.”

Gregory said, “Look at you, you’re our child, what’s there to be afraid of in your own home!”

Rachel asked curiously, “By the way, dad, do our doors often get blown shut by the wind?”

How could the seemingly not strong wind blow the door shut?

Gregory nodded and laughed, “Our house is at the foot of the mountain, so there are occasional gusts of wind that cause the doors to close like this.”

Hearing this, Rachel didn’t doubt anything.

The man in front of her was her own father, with whom she shared blood connections, and no parent in this world would deceive their children.

Although Rachel had been with her parents for only twenty short days, she had felt the warmth of a family that she had never experienced before.

She had been truly happy these days.

“Where’s my mom?” Rachel continued to ask.

“Downstairs.” Gregory said.

Rachel hugged Gregory’s arm, “Dad, I’ll go downstairs with you.”

Seeing Rachel come down, Beatrice said with a smile, “You’re up, baby. I left some food for you in the kitchen, go eat.”

“Alright.” Rachel nodded, “Mom, I’m going to wash up first.”

“Go ahead.”

Watching Rachel’s back, Beatrice squinted her eyes.

She didn’t know when Zachary Mayhew would be back.

During the time Rachel stayed at home, she was pampered every day without any harsh words, which made Beatrice very impatient, after all, this was the treatment that Ryan Diet deserved.

Why should some useless person…

Why should they?

A moment later, Rachel stepped out of the bathroom after brushing her teeth and headed for the kitchen.

There were boiled eggs and meat buns, as well as porridge for breakfast.

In the city, this would be an ordinary breakfast.

But here in the remote countryside, people’s breakfasts are very simple, mostly just soaking some leftover rice to get by, but Rachel gets to eat delicious eggs and meat buns every day.

This touched Rachel deeply.

Maybe all parents are like this.

They want to give all the good things to their children.

In the future, she must be filial to her parents.

Just as Rachel finished eating, Beatrice walked in, “By the way, I bought you a skirt in town yesterday, try it on and see if it looks good.”

With that, Beatrice picked up a beautiful skirt and handed it to Rachel.

It was a sky blue long skirt with a nice design and it matched Rachel’s skin tone.

Taking the skirt, Rachel felt very emotional inside. Her parents’ life was very difficult, yet they still thought about buying clothes for her.

For a moment, she felt like the dress in her hands weighed a thousand pounds.

“Mom, I have clothes already, you don’t have to buy them for me.”

Beatrice wouldn’t just give Rachel clothes for no reason, she was preparing for a matchmaking event. Just now, she received a call from the Mayhew family, saying that Zachary Mayhew would come and meet her tomorrow.

So, she had to make sure Rachel looked pretty.

Only then would Zachary Mayhew see the value in her.

Looking like a good mother, Beatrice continued, “Although our family life isn’t easy, we can still afford to buy a dress. Baby, your parents always feel sorry for you, but our financial resources are limited. All we can offer you is this, and please don’t blame us.”

“How could I!” Rachel held her mother’s hand and said, “By the way, Mom and Dad, I have some good news to share with you.”

“What good news?” On hearing this, Beatrice immediately looked at Rachel.Did Rachel borrow money from her friends again?

Thinking of this, Beatrice’s eyes lit up!

Rachel smiled and said, “College Entrance Examination results are out. I got 597 points!”

This was a score that would make parents proud.

But Beatrice never treated Rachel as her biological daughter, so whether Rachel scored 597 or 697 or even 97 points, it had nothing to do with her.

But, not to let Rachel see anything, Beatrice pretended to be happy and excited, and hugged Rachel, “Our girl is so incredible! Can 597 points get you into a good university?”

Rachel nodded, “Yes, it’s above the first-tier line.”

Gregory Diet walked in and immediately chimed in, “Our girl is so amazing. We should have the whole village celebrate with us.”

Beatrice instantly understood Gregory’s meaning and nodded, “Our girl is the family’s first college student. We should have a good celebration!”

Rachel was deeply touched.

Her parents clearly were not living well, but they always put her needs first.

“Mom and dad, we don’t actually need to be so extravagant. A simple celebration will suffice,” Rachel said.

The family was not wealthy, so if they were to hold a lavish event, it would surely cost a lot of money.

She still owed Fiona Knight 50,000 yuan and had no money to support her parents.

“My girl, your dad and I can listen to you on anything else, but not on this matter!” Beatrice laughed, “You are our family’s only college student!”

As Beatrice finished speaking, she continued, “Oh, and girl, a very important guest is coming to our house tomorrow. Remember to wear this skirt. I want everyone to see how beautiful my daughter is!”.

Rachel nodded, “Alright.”

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.

Beatrice and Gregory Diet got up early in the morning.

Not long after, they heard the sound of a car engine outside the door.

Hearing the sound, Beatrice immediately said, “It must be Zachary and his family! I’ll go upstairs to find everyone, you go to welcome them.”

“Alright.” Gregory Diet adjusted his clothes and got up to walk outside.

They couldn’t neglect their valued guests.

The Mayhew family was well-off, and although Zachary had polio, he still got a driving license for an automatic car.

He drove a Honda worth more than 200,000 yuan.

This kind of sedan was not uncommon in the city, but it was already very impressive in the remote countryside.

“Zachary, you’re here.” Gregory Diet greeted him with a smiling face.

“Uncle.” Zachary got out of the car and handed Gregory a cigarette.

Then, Mrs. Mayhew also got out of the car.

Gregory then said, “His aunt is also here, please come in!”

“Ryan’s dad.” Mrs. Mayhew greeted with a smile, and then followed Zachary into the house.

Inside, Beatrice had already brought Rachel down from upstairs.

Beatrice introduced them with a smile, “My girl, let me introduce you. This is your Aunt Guo, and this is her brother. You can just call him Brother Guo.”

Rachel looked up and sweetly greeted them, “Aunt Guo, Big Brother Guo.”

Mrs. Mayhew looked Rachel up and down.

She was pretty, but a little too skinny.

Her butt wasn’t big, and her chest, well, it was flat.

She didn’t look like someone who would be fertile.

Mrs. Mayhew frowned slightly, not satisfied with this prospective daughter-in-law.

In contrast to Mrs. Mayhew’s dissatisfaction, Zachary was fixated on Rachel.

He had never seen such a beautiful girl before.

Her voice was also pleasant-sounding.

She definitely had the aura of a city girl.

Rachel felt uncomfortable under Zachary’s unblinking gaze. She had a feeling that his stare wasn’t appropriate.

Rachel frowned imperceptibly and hid behind Beatrice.

But Beatrice pulled her to the front and smiled at Zachary, “Zachary, this is our girl Geraldine. You two young people should have more to talk about.”

As Beatrice finished speaking, she continued, “By the way, you young people now have that WhatsApp, right? Girl, you got along so well with Zachary, why don’t you quickly add him on WhatsApp?”

Add him on WhatsApp?

Hearing this, Rachel was very resistant in her heart.

She didn’t like Zachary, even despised him.

Rachel couldn’t understand why her mother wanted them to add each other on WhatsApp.

At this moment, Zachary took out his phone, “Geraldine, let me scan you.”

Just as Rachel was about to refuse politely, her arm was nudged by Beatrice, “Girl, hurry up and add him!”
