Hope you in my dream novel Chapter 2

"You bitch! What the hell are you talking about?" Gnawing in pain, Nancy screamed in anger as if she wanted to tear Rachel into shreds.

Upon glancing at her angry face, Teresa already knew what was going on. Looking at Rachel passively, she then said, "You know you have done something really wrong, but you still don't admit it. How stubborn of you!"

Upon hearing what she had just said Rachel was stunned. Then, she looked at Teresa with disappointed eyes, stating, "Mom, it wasn't really me who did that. I didn't..."

"Lock her in the basement right this instant. Rachel, think deep and hard about what you have done!" Teresa ordered the servants in a cold and emotionless voice. Turning around, she then went upstairs, avoiding Rachel's eyes as if she never existed.

"What are you looking at? Do you think that Mom will be on your side? Ha ha! Rachel, that's so naive of you. Face it! You are just an adopted daughter of the Yan Family. How can you possibly compete with the real daughter such as me?" Walking over to Rachel's side with a triumphant smile on her face, Nancy then sneered in a low voice, "What do you think Mom will do? Even if you have evidence to prove it was me, so what? Come to think of it. No one in this family would believe you. The whole family is on my side! Ha ha!"

"So I will be punished, but so what? What have you got? It's such a pity that your trick didn't work and you can't be Clark's wife, isn't it?" Rachel tried to contain her grief and fury, and then approached Nancy as saying in a voice, "He slept with me, not you. Remember that."

Upon hearing those words, Nancy's face was suddenly contorted with anger. Still stunned, she stared gloomily at Rachel's innocent face and cursed, "You bitch! You deserve to die and go straight to hell!"

But before she could finish her words, Rachel went to the basement straight ahead, without looking back, leaving Nancy pissed off to death all by herself.

'Phew...... So as it turns out, it was Clark who entered my room...' Rachel thought to herself. Slowly, Rachel sat down against the wall in the dark basement. She remembered how it was like to be there since she used to come there often.

Then, sadness covered Rachel's face. Lowering her head, she could not help but laugh at herself as she realized and remembered how things turned out for her—her mother hating her so much.

"Miss, Miss..."

Suddenly, there was a tiny voice just outside the door. Hearing this, her eyes lit up.

"Hey, Eva, is that you?" Rachel responded as she whispered back to the door. Eva was also an orphan, just like her, whom the Yan Family adopted. Being adopted together at the same time, they grew up together, shared the same things, and they seemed to trust each other very much.

"Miss!" Eva was so happy as she held Rachel's hand from the small window of the door. With her eyes red with tears and excitement, she then said, "Miss, I know you have suffered a lot. Here. Take this medicine that I have just bought for you. Apply it gently on the wound. Don't worry, it won't hurt after you apply it."

Seeing that Rachel was wet all over, Eva was not able to contain her anger. Furious, she then commented, "Mrs. Teresa has gone too far this time. She shouldn't treat you like this. Not now, not ever. My Miss, hang in there. I am going to get a dry towel for you."

As hearing that, a touch of warmth flowed right through Rachel's scarred heart. She even thought that Eva might be the only reason why she was still in the Yan Family.

Meanwhile, as she was applying the medicine on her wounds, Rachel suddenly heard Eva's voice rattling in fear. A little while later, she then came back and said, "Miss, Miss! Something bad is going to happen!"

"What's happening? What's wrong?" Rachel asked with her brows furrowed in confusion.

Eva said anxiously, "I overheard Miss Nancy and a servant's conversation. She... She wanted to secretly poison you!"

Rachel was dumbfounded upon hearing what Eva had just heard. Still talking in panic, Eva added, "What should we do, Miss? What should we do?"

"Don't panic, Eva. Go to the butler's room and find the spare key to the basement. Now, all we have to do is to sneak out of here," Rachel ordered calmly. Following her orders, Eva then immediately rushed to do what she was told.

"Damn it!" Rachel could not help but curse in a hushed voice, with a cold light flashing in her eyes.

All her life, she did not expect that someone such as her so-called sister would even come up with such a vicious and savage way to completely destroy her life.

Suddenly, the door opened.

"Oh, Rachel, you look quite relaxed," Nancy said with a bit evil in her cold voice. "It seems that you have already predicted that you would not be able to escape from it today."
