The Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 270

Chapter 270 Confronting Raylee

Being praised to the skies, as if they were the center of attention, the three were feeling on cloud nine.

Only Raylee, after casting them a fleeting glance, showed no reaction and continued to pick up the filth from the ground.

Waverly had noticed her a while ago.

Seeing Raylee dressed plainly while sorting out the trash on the ground, she was first taken aback, then utterly astonished.

Isn’t she being chauffeured around in a limited edition luxury car from around the globe? Isn’t she being kept by an older, married man? Why is she working as a cleaner here?

Casimir had also spotted Raylee.

In almost an instant, his soul was completely captivated.

He stared at her intently, as if he wished he could pluck out his eyeballs and embed them on her face.

At that moment, the lethal allure of a first crush had taken a tangible form.

“Isn’t that Raylee? She works here? It seems like she’s a janitor? Who would have thought the adopted daughter of the Goodridge family had fallen to such lows? What’s going on with your family? After raising a daughter for over a decade, are you just giving up on her?” Margaret said, her face contorted in distaste.

Waverly hastily explained, “Please don’t get the wrong idea, Mom. Raylee had a falling out with the family. She was insistent on leaving home, even going as far as signing a declaration of disownment to sever all connections with us. My parents and brother all really wanted her to come back home, but she was quite stubborn, which made them all very upset. Casimir is aware of this matter too. Besides, Raylee had been missing for five months and only recently returned. There were rumors going around our campus that she was being kept by a married older man, so I have no idea why she’s working as a janitor here now.”

Once she finished speaking, she turned her gaze toward Casimir, hoping he would also utter some disparaging words about Raylee.

Upon seeing his lingering gaze on Raylee, a surge of anger and jealousy instantly filled her heart.

Just yesterday, she had a quarrel with Casimir on campus.

Today, after much difficulty, they had finally mended their relationship. Using the upcoming birthday of her future mother- in–law as an excuse, she convinced Casimir to accompany her in choosing their engagement rings and, while they were at it, picking out a birthday gift.

She never would have guessed that Raylee would be here, too.

Why won’t that despicable woman just disappear?

Upon hearing Waverly’s words, Margaret immediately discerned the reason and said, “Why else? She must have been abandoned by the older man! That’s why she’s working as a janitor now! This is an upscale shopping mall, frequented by the rich or powerful. By positioning herself here, she could quickly identify a new sugar daddy. She couldn’t possibly let such a golden opportunity slip! She’s such a clever girl. It’s a shame her cleverness is misplaced!”
