Chapter 213

Rachel clenched her fists and her eyes were locked on Justin. He is threatening me.

Justin then scoffed and roared, “Also, make sure that the brat doesn’t ever appear before me! I don’t wish to see him making any contact with Charlotte. He thinks that they are siblings, huh? Who does he think he is?” Then, he tidied his attire and left in a huff.

The words that Justin said right before he left echoed in Rachel’s ears, causing her to tighten her fists. She was well aware that the main reason he had her stay at the Burton Residence had never been to take care of Charlotte—something must have raised his suspicion.

“What? He asked you to stay there?” When Jolly returned to the hall and heard the news, she instantly stomped her foot in anger. “How could he do this? Isn’t this no different from sending you to a lion’s den? You will be staying under the same roof as that man; what if he does something to you?”

Upon hearing that, Rachel shook her head. “That isn’t his motive. The reason he wants me to stay there is so that he can keep an eye on me.”

“Keep an eye on you? What do you mean?”

The less he knows about the events back then, the better it is for him.” At the banquet, Jolly was called away by her parents, leaving Rachel on her own. There were quite a number of people who tried to strike a conversation with Rachel, but she maintained a polite yet distant attitude, which further piqued the interest of the gentlemen at the scene. “It’s impossible to transform from a peasant into a wealthy person over the course of one night. If these men knew that you have a kid, would they still be so courteous to you?” Amber’s voice was heard coming from behind Rachel. Holding a wine glass, Rachel
