“Raised me?” Rachel laughed coldly, her eyes full of mockery. “Mom, have you forgotten that since Sophie came to the Leroix family, you barely managed me anymore? I earned my own college tuition by selling design drafts, and now you’re accusing me of being ungrateful? Do you deserve to?”
Her words were like sharp knives, cutting straight to Joanne’s pain. Joanne’s face alternated between green and white, and the surrounding relatives showed embarrassed expressions, their whispers gradually
quieting.
Rachel was too lazy to deal with them anymore. Today was Grandpa’s funeral-she hadn’t wanted to make
such a scene, but they’d gone too far!
Did they really think she was easy to bully?
However, Sophie suddenly rushed forward, grabbing her wrist, her voice tearful as she seemed about to
kneel: “Sister, I know you hate me, but I really never meant to steal Jaxon from you. I just… just like him too
much…”
Rachel looked at the crying person on the ground, somewhat impatiently shaking off Sophie’s hand. “You’re
always crying like this. When will I ever see you be tough for once?”
She shook forcefully, directly throwing Sophie to the ground.
Sophie’s hand scraped against the ground, leaving a bloody mark.
Rachel watched coldly. Sophie hadn’t meant well anyway-even if she didn’t shake her off, she’d probably
still get blamed for something.
Might as well go all the way!
Just as she was about to turn and leave, she suddenly heard urgent footsteps behind her.
She turned to see David and Arthur hurrying over, clearly displeased.
Seeing Rachel, David immediately frowned, his tone stern: “Rachel, what are you doing? What kind of occasion is this? How can you be so thoughtless?”
Arthur also stood aside, Seeing Sophie on the ground, he quickly helped her up, looking coldly at Rachel with reproach: “What happened?”
He’d been dealing with business contacts with his father and returned to find Sophie being bullied.
This Rachel was completely lawless! She always bullied Sophie when he wasn’t around!

She needed to be taught a lesson.
“Now, go apologize to Sophie. Kneel down and apologize.”
‘Apologize?”
Rachel seemed to hear something funny, repeating his words.
She looked down at her wrist that he’d grabbed, her eyes full of disgust. “Why don’t you ask your ‘good
ister’ what she did.”
he looked at Sophie.
Sophie, do you think the whole world should revolve around you? Do you see anyone who gets slightly
lose to Jaxon as an enemy? Who do you think you are?
‘ll say this one last time-I don’t like Jaxon anymore.”
don’t like Jaxon anymore.
ight words that hit everyone like a heavy hammer.
axon froze completely.
He’d just seen Sophie fall to the ground.
He should have helped her, but somehow his legs wouldn’t obey, glued in place, his gaze stuck on Rachel’s ace, trying to find any trace of deception.
But there was none.
He also heard her tell everyone she didn’t like him anymore.
Rachel looked at them, cold laughter in her heart.
Though she’d expected them to side with Sophie, facing it still felt chilling.
Do you think I should just stand aside and watch Sophie take everything from me?”
David’s face darkened, his tone even more severe: “Rachel, how can you talk like that? Sophie is your sister-how could she take your things? You’re being too unreasonable!”
‘Unreasonable?” Rachel laughed coldly, her eyes full of mockery. “Dad, have you forgotten how much Sophie has taken from me since childhood? My room, my work, my family’s attention-she wanted it all! Should I just suffer in silence? Is fighting back also wrong?!”

David was left speechless, his face iron-gray. Arthur frowned, his tone warning: “Rachel, don’t go too far. With so many people here, don’t embarrass the Leroix family.”
The Leroix family’s reputation-always the family reputation!
All they cared about was the family’s image, never truly caring about her feelings!
‘Well, what drama is the Leroix family staging? Family ethics or melodrama? How entertaining.”
A mocking voice suddenly interrupted. Rachel turned to see Nicolas leaning against a corner, arms crossed, a playful smile on his face.
His gaze swept over them, eyes full of undisguised derision.
David’s face immediately darkened: “Mr. Rothschild, this is our family matter. You’d better not interfere.”
Family matter?” Nicolas chuckled, stepping to Rachel’s side. “Miss Leroix will be my family’s future laughter-in-law. How can she be considered an outsider? Your earlier words were truly eye-opening.”
Everyone thought Nicolas was warning Rachel and Jaxon.
But only Rachel understood what he really meant.
Her face suddenly flushed red.
David looked embarrassed: “Mr. Rothschild, it’s all a misunderstanding.”
hey couldn’t afford to offend Nicolas, so they could only humble themselves and apologize.
But Nicolas was too lazy to deal with them further: “The affairs of prominent families are truly eye-opening.”
Everyone knew the Rothschild family was truly prominent, while the Leroix family had fallen from grace.
Everyone, I swear here today! The Leroix family has wronged me, bullied me, humiliated me. From now
in, I, Rachel Leroix, have no connection with the Leroix family! My only relative was Grandpa!”
After speaking, she knelt toward the coffin, kowtowed three times straight, then walked out without looking
jack.
A Maybach was parked by the roadside, Nicolas leaning against it with a cigarette.
Seeing her approach, he extinguished it, shook off the scent, then walked beside her, his tone slightly boastful: “How was that? I performed pretty well just now, didn’t 17”
