Upon saying this, Beatrice Black paused for a moment, then continued, “Oh right, honey, where are your adoptive parents? How are their living conditions? Have they ever mistreated you over the years?”

If Rachel Barton’s adoptive parents were well-off, maybe they could ask them for some money.

Now talking about buying and selling being equally sinful.

If they dared not to give money, she would sue them!

Beatrice Black had already figured it all out in her heart.

“I don’t have adoptive parents,” Rachel Barton’s expression saddened for a moment, “I grew up in an orphanage.”

Her childhood was gray.

There were no friends in the orphanage.

If there was any sunshine, then Viola Thompson was her only sunshine.

Upon hearing Rachel Barton grew up in an orphanage, Beatrice’s plan failed, and disappointment filled her eyes, but she quickly changed her attitude, embracing Rachel, trying to numb her with love, “Don’t worry, honey, you have us now! From now on, your dad and I will be your biggest support, as long as we are here, we won’t let you suffer any grievances.”

Rachel leaned on her mother’s shoulder, her eyes moistened.

After so many years.

She finally felt the warmth of motherly love.

Beatrice Black patted Rachel’s shoulder, and at an angle where Rachel couldn’t see, she exchanged glances with Gregory Diet.

Gregory Diet then said, “Honey, how have you been living alone all these years? If we had known, we wouldn’t have let you pay for the house. Although your mom and I are not very wealthy, we do have some small money.”

“That’s right, that’s right,” Beatrice Black immediately took a handful of change from her pocket and stuffed it into Rachel’s hand, “Honey, take this money.”

Looking at the change her mother handed over, Rachel was deeply moved.

She knew how difficult it was for her parents to make money.

Although it was only a small amount of change, it was probably the result of their frugal living for a long time.

“Mom, I don’t want it; I have money,” Rachel continued, “Don’t worry about me. I have a 100,000 dollar fixed deposit and several thousand for pocket money, plus I’ve invested in a small business, so I don’t lack money to spend.”

When she heard this, Beatrice’s eyes lit up.

100,000 dollars in savings!

Neither of them had expected Rachel to have so much money.

Beatrice Black hid the greed in her eyes, “Honey, your money is yours. The money given by mom is a small token of affection from mom, you must accept it, otherwise, mom will not be at ease.”

“But this money is the result of your and dad’s hard work; I really can’t take it.”

“It’s fine; the two of us save money just so you can spend it.” Beatrice Black said with teary eyes, “Every time your father and I couldn’t bear the strain of working, we would think of you. We thought about the day we could find you, our girl, and then we didn’t feel tired anymore.”

In fact.

This was the change that Gregory Diet and Beatrice Black couple deliberately exchanged at the bank.

It was all fifty cents, one dollar, and two-dollar bills.

The two of them had discussed it at home the night before. Giving a red packet would be necessary when meeting their child for the first time, but if it was only a few hundred dollars, it would be too little.

So, Beatrice Black suggested going to the bank to exchange some change.

Two hundred dollars were exchanged for a big handful.

Before leaving, they even purposely put on their most worn-out clothes.

They didn’t expect Rachel to be so easy to deceive.

Hearing these words, Rachel felt more upset. She regretted not finding her parents earlier, allowing them to suffer for so many years.

Beatrice Black stuffed the money into Rachel’s pocket, “Honey, keep the money. Be good, huh?”

Having no choice, Rachel had to accept the money.

The next day, Rachel took her parents shopping to buy clothes and eat at a restaurant.

She wanted to make up for all the years she owed her parents.

Then, she proposed buying gifts for her younger brother and two sisters.

Of course, Beatrice would not let Rachel buy things for the two sisters who were burdens. She went on, “Your eldest sister is already married and not in our village, your second sister is working in Giseda City and not at home. Your brother is still at home, but he is very naughty. He can’t wear such nice things. Honey, you work hard to make money, so you don’t need to buy these things.”

Seeing her mother think about her well-being everywhere and not being the bloodsucking kind of parents, Rachel was very touched and smiled, “Mom, after all, I am the elder sister. It’s very normal for me to buy clothes for my younger brother. Do you know what size he wears?”

Beatrice Black completely grasped the situation. She initially refused, but in the end, she finally had to give in and tell Ryan Diet’s size.

Rachel bought three sets of clothes and three pairs of shoes for her never-seen-before younger brother all at once.
