Chapter 270

Rachel's eyes flickered with irritation.

What was Juliana doing here with Abbey?

Despite her annoyance, she spoke up, "Look, Juliana's brought Ms. Robinson over. Sis-in-law, that's Ms. Robinson herself. Why don't we send Lia over to charm her a bit? It'll make chatting with Bill later much easier!"

She could barely contain her smirk, eagerly anticipating Cordelia's embarrassment. Cordelia, with her typically frosty demeanor, charming someone? Rachel could hardly wait to see her stumble through a half-hearted greeting or, even better, watch Abbey publicly scold her. Such a scene would certainly elevate Juliana's standing in the eyes of the Foster family.

Rachel basked in the cunning of her plan, while Lorna frowned in disapproval. The idea of sending Everard to apologize was already a tough pill to swallow for her and Sanderson, let alone their darling daughter, Cordelia. Just as Lorna was about to whisk Cordelia away, Abbey's eyes lit up upon spotting her and she rushed over, exclaiming, "Lia! There you are, I've been looking everywhere for you!"

Abbey's enthusiastic approach and flattering tone left the onlookers stunned. It dawned on Lorna that Abbey was, in fact, Bill's sister! After witnessing Abbey's behavior towards her daughter at Mrs. Collins' garden party, where did Rachel get the idea that Abbey was so hard to please?

Rachel was dumbfounded, her eyes flicking incredulously between Juliana and Abbey. Juliana's brow furrowed. She had been enjoying a pleasant chat with Abbey, who, for some unknown reason, insisted on coming over here. Now, it seemed Abbey was here for Cordelia. Their close, friendly interaction made it clear they were more than acquaintances, much to Juliana's chagrin.

Meanwhile, Belinda and others who were keeping a close eye on Abbey shared her astonishment. Cordelia Delaney, known for her aloof nature and poor social skills, was actually close with Abbey? Earlier, it seemed as though Juliana was the one trying to win Abbey over, who responded with courteous detachment. But now, it was Abbey initiating conversation with a cool and occasionally responsive Cordelia. Impossible!
