Hope you in my dream

Chapter 2 Ruin Her Thoroughly

"You bitch! What the hell are you talking about?" Gnawing in pain, Nancy screamed in anger as if she wanted to tear Rachel into shreds.

Upon glancing at her angry face, Teresa already knew what was going on. Looking at Rachel passively, she then said, "You know you have done something really wrong, but you still don't admit it. How stubborn of you!"

Upon hearing what she had just said Rachel was stunned. Then, she looked at Teresa with disappointed eyes, stating, "Mom, it wasn't really me who did that. I didn't..."

"Lock her in the basement right this instant. Rachel, think deep and hard about what you have done!" Teresa ordered the servants in a cold and emotionless voice. Turning around, she then went upstairs, avoiding Rachel's eyes as if she never existed.

"What are you looking at? Do you think that Mom will be on your side? Ha ha! Rachel, that's so naive of you. Face it! You are just an adopted daughter of the Yan Family. How can you possibly compete with the real daughter such as me?" Walking over to Rachel's side with a triumphant smile on her face, Nancy then sneered in a low voice, "What do you think Mom will do? Even if you have evidence to prove it was me, so what? Come to think of it. No one in this family would believe you. The whole family is on my side! Ha ha!"

"So I will be punished, but so what? What have you got? It's such a pity that your trick didn't work and you can't be Clark's wife, isn't it?" Rachel tried to contain her grief and fury, and then approached Nancy as saying in a voice, "He slept with me, not you. Remember that."

Upon hearing those words, Nancy's face was suddenly contorted with anger. Still stunned, she stared gloomily at Rachel's innocent face and cursed, "You bitch! You deserve to die and go straight to hell!"

But before she could finish her words, Rachel went to the basement straight ahead, without looking back, leaving Nancy pissed off to death all by herself.

'Phew...... So as it turns out, it was Clark who entered my room...' Rachel thought to herself. Slowly, Rachel sat down against the wall in the dark basement. She remembered how it was like to be there since she used to come there often.

Then, sadness covered Rachel's face. Lowering her head, she could not help but laugh at herself as she realized and remembered how things turned out for her—her mother hating her so much.

"Miss, Miss..."

Suddenly, there was a tiny voice just outside the door. Hearing this, her eyes lit up.

"Hey, Eva, is that you?" Rachel responded as she whispered back to the door. Eva was also an orphan, just like her, whom the Yan Family adopted. Being adopted together at the same time, they grew up together, shared the same things, and they seemed to trust each other very much.

"Miss!" Eva was so happy as she held Rachel's hand from the small window of the door. With her eyes red with tears and excitement, she then said, "Miss, I know you have suffered a lot. Here. Take this medicine that I have just bought for you. Apply it gently on the wound. Don't worry, it won't hurt after you apply it." C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Seeing that Rachel was wet all over, Eva was not able to contain her anger. Furious, she then commented, "Mrs. Teresa has gone too far this time. She shouldn't treat you like this. Not now, not ever. My Miss, hang in there. I am going to get a dry towel for you."

As hearing that, a touch of warmth flowed right through Rachel's scarred heart. She even thought that Eva might be the only reason why she was still in the Yan Family.

Meanwhile, as she was applying the medicine on her wounds, Rachel suddenly heard Eva's voice rattling in fear. A little while later, she then came back and said, "Miss, Miss! Something bad is going to happen!"

"What's happening? What's wrong?" Rachel asked with her brows furrowed in confusion.

Eva said anxiously, "I overheard Miss Nancy and a servant's conversation. She... She wanted to secretly poison you!"

Rachel was dumbfounded upon hearing what Eva had just heard. Still talking in panic, Eva added, "What should we do, Miss? What should we do?"

"Don't panic, Eva. Go to the butler's room and find the spare key to the basement. Now, all we have to do is to sneak out of here," Rachel ordered calmly. Following her orders, Eva then immediately rushed to do what she was told.

"Damn it!" Rachel could not help but curse in a hushed voice, with a cold light flashing in her eyes.

All her life, she did not expect that someone such as her so-called sister would even come up with such a vicious and savage way to completely destroy her life.

Suddenly, the door opened.

"Oh, Rachel, you look quite relaxed," Nancy said with a bit evil in her cold voice. "It seems that you have already predicted that you would not be able to escape from it today."

"Nancy, I share the same surname as you. You are my family and I belong here. Do you really think that you would not be suspected if something happened to me? Do you really think that you could get out of this mess?" With a wary look at Nancy, Rachel couldn't help but take a step back.

"Ha ha. Of course I am aware of that. As long as you are poisoned, no one will say anything about the Yan Family. After all, no one will find you once you're dumb from poisoning."

All of a sudden, there was a chill in Rachel's eyes, along with a rare feeling of anxiety in her heart. Obviously, there was no point in communication with such a crazy woman at all.

Then, two servants came down to them carrying a bowl of what was like dark medicine juice and walked towards Rachel with an obvious bad intention.

"Bang! ——”

In a flash, there was a loud bang behind Nancy. There, the seemingly petite Eva dashed in with a stick in her hands and knocked the two servants aside. Anxiously she shouted, "Miss, run!"

"Eva!" Rachel screamed as she came to her senses instantly. Stunned at what was happening, she then dashed towards Nancy and gave her a hard push.

Afterwards, she grabbed Eva's hand and ran away with her as fast as they could.

"Ah! You fucking bitch! I will kill you!" Nancy fell to the ground. Pissed off, she then shouted at the useless servants, "Don't just stand there! Go and chase her, losers!"

Rachel was only a few steps away from the gate, but the voice behind her and Eva was getting closer and closer every second.

Right at that moment, Rachel felt more anxious in her heart. As she was trying to think of a way on how to escape, Eva suddenly shook her hand off and pushed Rachel to the door. "Run, Miss! Run for your life! Don't worry about me! Run as fast as you can!"

At that point, Rachel was not able to do anything but look at the heroic Eva, a skinny young girl who ran back as she tried to stop those people from chasing her.

As soon as they had the chance, the servants then kicked Eva to the ground and started beating her with their hands and feet, kicking and punching her body hard.

Rachel's eyes were filled with tears as she saw it happening. But there was nothing she could do but run out without looking back while she wiped the tears off her eyes.

She knew that she could only save Eva after she ran away.

Meanwhile, the puddles in the streets glistened after raining hard and Rachel ran as if she did not know where she was heading.

She wore thin and dirty clothes, which attracted a lot of attention. But she did not care about what other people thought of her as she continued to run forward recklessly.

"Mr. Ji, could you please tell us your plan about the acquisition?"

"Mr. Ji, I heard that the senior executives of the Ji Group have not been affected by the financial crisis this time. Is any of that true?"

"Mr. Ji, when will you marry Miss Nancy?"

A large group of people in front were setting their eyes on the man in a dark grey suit. With a composed expression on his gentle and elegant face, he then answered the journalists' questions one by one, except for the last one.

However, someone from an unknown media repeated the question.

Then, a hint of coldness flashed across the corners of Clark's mouth. In fact, during that time, his assistant was about to stop the topic when he heard a commotion among the crowd.

Simultaneously, a clear and confirmed voice came through. "I am his fiancee."

Everyone was stunned and excited at the same time upon hearing this. Eager to know more about it, all of them suddenly turned around to see whom the voice belonged to.
