At night, Beatrice Black and Gregory Diet returned to the hotel and began plotting how to trick Rachel Barton into handing over her bank card.
That’s a total of 100,000 dollars!
Even if they couldn’t bring Rachel back this time, bringing back 100,000 dollars would still be a great success!
At least it would solve their pressing need for money.
Gregory Diet said, “We can’t rush this, we need to be patient, we can’t directly ask for it.”
It seemed that Rachel was a person who could be coaxed but not forced.
Hearing this, Beatrice Black was not pleased. “I’m her mother. Without me, there wouldn’t be her. If she doesn’t give me her money, then who else should she give it to?”
If it weren’t for her giving birth to Rachel, would Rachel even exist in this world?
Rachel’s money should, rightfully, be in her care!
Gregory Diet, having attended school for a few years, said, “We’ve spent so long with her today, haven’t you seen what kind of person she is? If you try to force her, you’ll lose everything!”
Beatrice slowly calmed down, it did seem to be the case.
Gregory Diet continued, “I have a plan that will surely make her willingly give us the money.”
“What plan?” Beatrice immediately asked.
Gregory Diet leaned in close to Beatrice’s ear and whispered a few words.
Hearing this, Beatrice said with a smile, “Good! This is a good idea! Let’s do it your way!”
Rachel was as naive as a pig, definitely not able to spot any flaws.
The next morning, Rachel received a call from Beatrice.
“Honey, your dad and I are going back, you must take care of yourself while you’re alone here. Remember to call us often. As soon as the College Entrance Examination is over, we’ll come to pick you up and take you home! It’ll be a family reunion.”
Rachel was still in a daze from sleep, hearing this, she immediately sat up on her bed, “Mom? Why are you and dad suddenly leaving? I thought we agreed to stay here longer?”
Beatrice’s voice held a sob, “It’s okay, it’s okay, darling, you don’t have to worry, we just suddenly want to go home. Remember to take good care of yourself.”
Picking up on the unease in Beatrice’s voice, Rachel immediately got dressed and rushed to the hotel without even brushing her teeth.
As soon as she arrived at the entrance of the ice coffin, she saw her parents carrying their luggage.
They didn’t even have proper suitcases, they were using snake-skin bags to carry their things.
When they saw Rachel, both looked surprised, “Darling! How did you get here! Didn’t I tell you not to see us off?”
Beatrice and Gregory’s eyes were both red and swollen, clearly showing signs of crying.
Seeing this, Rachel was very anxious, “Mom, Dad, what’s wrong? Why do you suddenly have to go back?”
“It’s okay, it’s okay,” Gregory comforted, “Darling, all you need to do is take good care of yourself here. We can handle everything at home!”
The more Gregory acted like this, the more Rachel felt that they were hiding something from her.
That’s how all parents are.
They always choose to shoulder urgent matters themselves, deciding never to share with their children.
“There’s really nothing wrong,” Beatrice came over, pulling up a forced smile, “Honey, why don’t you go home first? Don’t let our issues affect you!”
At a time like this, how could Rachel go back home without worries.
“Mom, Dad, what the hell is going on? I’m your daughter. Is there a problem that you can’t tell your own daughter?” Rachel almost cried out in anxiety, “Two heads are better than one, maybe I can even help you out!”
“Darling, there’s really nothing you can do about this.” Gregory sighed, “And also, your mom and I, we don’t want to hold you back! You’ve had it rough being alone all these years.”
Beatrice nodded, “Your father’s right.”
As the two staged a dramatic performance, Rachel didn’t notice anything amiss. Instead, she felt her parents were great, always looking out for her.
“I’m your daughter, no matter what, you will never be a burden to me,” Rachel continued: “Mom, Dad, if you don’t tell me what happened today, you might as well forget that you ever had a daughter! I won’t be going back with you after the College Entrance Examination!”
Beatrice grabbed Rachel’s wrist, sobbing “Darling, my sweet girl!”
Gregory was also wiping his tears on the side.
After a long while, Beatrice spoke, “Your sister had an accident in Giseda City, the driver who caused the accident ran away. The doctor called and said that 150,000 is needed for medical expenses. We need to rush back to gather funds, even if we have to sell everything we own, we have to save your sister!”
As she said this, Beatrice started to cry loudly.
Hearing this, Rachel also got very anxious. She knew her parents didn’t have much money, “Mom, Dad, don’t worry. There will definitely be a way to handle this. How about this, I have 100,000 dollars in a fixed deposit. I will withdraw it right away and you can take it back to pay for my sister’s surgery!”
