“Adrian, what did you mean by that?” Helen perked up the moment she heard him.

Marshall also turned to look at Adrian, his face dark as he began to think. “Are you saying the Hawthorne family is stalling for time, trying to find a chance to call off the engagement?”

Adrian nodded slightly. “Lucas is dying. They need someone to bring him luck in marriage. He can’t just wake up and kick out the person who helped save his life, right? They’ll need to wait for the right moment. Otherwise, would the Hawthorne family even consider her?” Adrian gave Sloane a contemptuous glance.

Everyone turned to look at Sloane. She was skin and bones, had no figure to speak of, and even the most beautiful clothes looked like a waste on her.

They desperately ignored Sloane’s strong bone structure and kept pushing her further into the mud.

Marshall secretly nodded. He thought Adrian made sense. Even though losing the marriage alliance with the Hawthorne family was frustrating, he figured the Hawthorne family would still have to compensate the Rivers family somehow, so he started calculating again.

Sloane didn’t care to watch their ugly mouths move any longer and turned around to leave the Rivers Residence.

A black van stopped in front of her. Lena got out and respectfully opened the door for her.

Before long, the car pulled up in front of a quiet cemetery.

Sloane stood in front of a gravestone, holding a bouquet of simple daisies in her hands. On the stone were the words “Our beloved daughter, Chloe Hayes.”

She slowly crouched down and gently placed the daisies in front of the grave. In a soft voice, she said, “Don’t worry, Chloe. I’ll get revenge for you.”

Five years ago, when she had just returned to the Rivers family, Chloe was only a newly hired maid. She’d been assigned to stay by Sloane’s side and suffered just as much scorn and bullying from the others.
