However, Rachel felt no fear in this situation. In fact, a hint of mockery even played at the corners of her mouth. "I am not like those who have been raised in the Markee family. Your gaze and your words have no effect on me whatsoever."
Upon hearing her words, George became so infuriated that he struck the ground hard with his cane. "Look at you! How could you be so rude to me? So much for you being a lawyer. Do you even understand the importance of respecting the elderly? What about the principles of propriety, justice, integrity, and honor? Did your mother not teach you these things?"
Rachel intentionally made her words sound harsh in order to completely extinguish his hopes. She had succeeded in provoking him with her response.
Seeing him in such a state of anger, Rachel even felt a hint of pleasure. Back when she and her mother were ostracized and lived a miserable life due to her father's incompetence, it was all ultimately caused by George.
"My mother taught me to be a good person, to not exclude those who are related to me, and to uphold righteousness. You have never given me the care and recognition I deserved, so what right do you have to stand before me and lecture me now?" Rachel coldly retorted, refusing to accept these accusations from George.
"Simply because the blood of the Markee family flows within you—"
"How amusing! In the past, you never acknowledged my mother and me. Now that you find me useful, you start to morally blackmail me? Do you think you can outtalk me if we discuss these matters? Legally speaking, I have absolutely no relation to any of you!"
No sooner had Rachel's words fallen than Vincent's cold remarks came hurtling from afar. "Could you guys please stop bothering her?"
Vincent, dressed in a white shirt and black trousers, walked sternly from the outside. Today, he was dressed less formally, with his collar slightly open and his sleeves rolled up to his forearms.
One could not deny the charm that radiated from Vincent.
