Chapter 115 Rachael, You Have Disgraced the Cornell Family!
"Who is she? Why does she squeeze in recklessly?"
"What's wrong with you? Do you think you are qualified to be here?" As soon as I forced my way in,
two well-dressed middle-aged men on both sides were unsatisfied. They stared at me with
condescension.
"I'm sorry!" I hurriedly apologized.
"An apology is not enough. Do you know who I am? I am the boss of Lowery Group!" Orion Lowery,
dressed in a fancy suit, raised his chin and looked at me proudly, "Do you know who he is?" Orion
pointed at another middle-aged man I just bumped into.
I looked down and shook my head.
"He is Mr. Barry, the head of Redwood Real Estate. The property in this city belongs to him. You
offended both of us. Do you want to die?" Orion refused to let me off.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" I repeatedly apologized, but joy surged through me. Just now, I bumped into these
two people on purpose. If I didn't make any noise, how would I attract attention?
Sure enough, Caleb's and Orion's shouting at me attracted the attention of Marvin and the others very
quickly. Marvin frowned and was about to walk over, but Shania deliberately pulled him back. "Honey,
Mr. Arnold is talking to you. He is a rare visitor. We must treat him well!"
Marvin, who was about to come over, stopped and began to chat with Mr. Arnold.
Shania walked over and smiled as she said, "Mr. Barry, Mr. Lowery, long time no see. Thank you so
much for coming here today. It's a great honor for me and Marvin!"
When Orion and Caleb saw Shania, they let me off for the time being and smiled at Shania. "Mrs.
Cornell, it's been a long time. You are getting more and more beautiful!"
"That's right. Especially your daughter, she is now the fiancée of the dignified CEO of Marlon Group,
Marlon. She is truly enviable. If my daughter were as smart and beautiful as Miss Alicia, I would be
satisfied!"
"Yes, yes!" Caleb and Orion nodded in agreement as they looked at Alicia and Marlon. Then, Orion
changed the tone and said, "But Mrs. Cornell, you should check these people when you are free. The
waiters you hire are really terrible. She squeezed in without watching the road!"
"That's right. Her eyes were not on the road. She walked around and bumped into us. Luckily, Orion
and I have a good temper and we don't bother with her. If she had bumped into someone with a bad
temper, wouldn't it have implicated you and Mr. Cornell?" Caleb pretended to be easy-going. Actually, I
knew that the reason why he said this in front of Shania. He wanted to take advantage of it and get to
know Marlon.
On the surface, everyone came to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Marvin Group. But in reality,
almost everyone was here for Marlon. As long as they could make friends with Marlon, their status
would rise a lot overnight.
Therefore, everyone tried their best to get close to Marlon. But it was known to the public that Marlon
had always been cold and indifferent. Those guests did not dare to be too blatant, afraid that they might
suffer from a loss instead. So, they all turned around to curry favor with Marvin, Shania or Alicia, so that
they could put in a good word in front of Marlon.
"Rachael!" Shania seemed to have just seen me. She cried out in surprise, "Why are you here? Why
don't you stay at home? If Marvin finds it out, you will be scolded!"
Caleb and Orion were both smart people. Telling from Shania's simple questions, they immediately
knew my identity. Besides, my surname was Cornell. Meanwhile, they knew very well that although
Alicia and I were both Marvin's daughters, I was not in favor with him at all. Thus, Marvin didn't want
me to come here.
"Shania, I, I just want to take a look. I, I have asked Dad!" I pretended to be cowardly and timid as what
Shania wanted. 'Shania, don't regret it when the time comes!'
When Shania saw that I was slightly stunned, she immediately became even more arrogant. She got
so mad at me in the past few days that she hoped she cut me into thousands of pieces. If she could,
she would definitely do so.
"Rachael, it's no big deal if you're here. How can you treat Mr. Barry and Mr. Lowery so rudely? They
are your father's best friends. Apologize to them." Alicia mercilessly scolded.
"I'm sorry for my carelessness, Mr. Barry and Mr. Lowery. Please forgive me!" I echoed and apologized.
"Rachael, you are so troublesome. Although I didn't give birth to you, you are raised by me. If you can
you be as good as Alicia, I'll be at ease!" My cowardly and obedient attitude made Alicia even more
complacent. She continued to berate me with a sharp voice, but she did not notice that not far away,
there was a reporter recording her.
I lowered my head and allowed her to reprimand me, but a faint smile lifted the corner of my mouth.
Not all the media could enter this luxurious venue, but that did not mean that there was no reporter
here. Marvin invited some well-known media for the sake of publicity, while the others were asked to
stay outside. However, as media workers, they would do anything for their information. Naturally, some
would sneak in with great effort, just like the man who had just recorded Shania's action.
Caleb and Orion naturally understood that Shania was scolding me. They had similar backgrounds.
How could they not understand Shania's malicious intentions towards me as a stepmother? Therefore,
Caleb and Orion echoed, "Mrs. Cornell, you have shown your extreme forbearance for Rachael. Caleb
and I both saw it. But Rachael is not worthy to be taught. She is ill-bred to dress up like this on such an
occasion!"
"I agree. She actually doesn't know how to be grateful to you for trying so hard to raise her. What a
waste of your effort! However, Alicia is beautiful and smart. She is the model of the daughter we want!"
Caleb echoed.
Alicia watched not far away and felt that it was almost time. She whispered, "Dad, let's go take a look at
Rachael and Mom. There seems to be trouble!" Then, she turned around and whispered to Marlon,
"Marlon, can we? I don't want my sister to be in trouble!"
Marlon replied indifferently. Alicia held onto Marlon and walked over with Marvin. As they came to me,
the people who were originally surrounding them followed.
"What's going on?" Marvin asked with a somewhat displeased expression. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
"It's not a big deal. Rachael bumped into Mr. Lowery and Mr. Barry. If they were not good-tempered,
Rachael would have caused trouble!" Alicia casually exaggerated my mistake.
In order to please Shania, Caleb hurriedly said, "Marvin, your daughter is a little rude. I was chatting
and drinking with Orion, and she ran into us. We both spilled our wine. Orion and I thought that she
was an ignorant waiter. If your wife hadn't come here, we would have done something wrong!"
"But you can't blame us, Mr. Cornell. Look at your daughter's clothes. If she has the same taste as
Alicia's.... No, if she has half of Alicia's taste and is half as beautiful as Alicia, Caleb and I won't
misunderstand. Alicia is so smart and sensible. She definitely won't do such a foolish thing!"
