There was no longer a spiteful look in her eyes. In fact, she also no longer seemed as proud as she once was.
Her eyes were filled with gentleness and admiration…
“Hey, Rachel… Did you bring your boyfriend home? Did your boyfriend fly you home in a helicopter? That’s amazing. What does he do?” the lady asked.
Rachel Wood smiled a little. “He has his own business…”
“I’m sure he runs a big business, right? Truly amazing. Rachel, you sure have done well… You’ve made your family proud,” the lady said.
Rachel smiled again without continuing the conversation. Instead, she tugged at Sebastian Brenand’s hand and walked over to the side of the road to wait for their cab.
However, the lady did not leave them alone.
After a while, the lady walked over to the two of them and quietly scanned them up and down.
After that, the lady started praising Rachel and Sebastian. “Rachel, you’re getting prettier and prettier. Your boyfriend also looks spectacular… Your parents must be ecstatic, right?
“Nice to meet you… Young man, I haven’t introduced myself. I’m Auntie Marlene… Our family has always had a good relationship with Rachel’s family… I’ve always looked after Rachel’s parents. Isn’t that so, Rachel?” Marlene looked at Rachel with a smile.
Rachel found what Marlene said extremely sarcastic.
Did Marlene ever look after her parents?
When Rachel’s parents were sick, their family ended up with terrible finances. However, Marlene never stopped mocking them.
In fact, Marlene kept saying that their family was done for.
She even intentionally caused trouble for Rachel’s family because they weren’t doing well.
When Marlene’s house was robbed, and she lost 30,000 dollars, she insisted that Rachel’s father was the one who stole it.
