Chapter 84

Sasha crossed her arms, her lips curling into a sneer. There was an undeniable shrewdness in those mesmerizing eyes of hers.

“That doesn’t sound very nice. We’re just doing a simple check. We’re not asking anything more from you. What if something accidentally gets hooked onto your clothes or something, and you had no idea?”

Rachel stood ramrod straight, the look in her eyes almost murderous. “I said, I didn’t take anything. Or do you really think I’ve gotten so poor I would bother stealing a couple of necklaces from your house?”

Sasha refused to back down. She had a smile on her face, but it was the kind of smile that hid daggers behind it. “Since you refuse to cooperate, we’ll have to go hard on you.”

She shot Holly and Wendy a look–the two of them charged toward Rachel, each holding her down on both sides.

Yvette rolled up her sleeves, about to reach into Rachel’s pockets, when Rachel sent her flying in the air with a hard kick to her stomach.

“Get away from me!”

Yvette didn’t expect Rachel to kick her like this and rolled down the stairs. Her head hit the railing, and the pain made her shriek out loud.

“Argh!”

Holly and Wendy didn’t expect Rachel to retaliate so aggressively and were at a loss for what to do.

Rachel didn’t hold herself back and flung both her arms with all her might, successfully shaking both servants off and onto the floor.

“Oh goodness!”

“My back!”

She looked down at them with a smirk on her face.

“How dare you even try to search me. Even if I wanted something, I would never stoop so low as to steal it!” She dusted her shirt with a look of disgust on her face.

Sasha’s face flushed red with ire–she was completely taken aback by Rachel’s retaliation in her own home.

“You… You’re out of your mind! How dare you behave so aggressively in my house! Rachel Lloyd, what right do you have to do that? If it weren’t for you, my son wouldn’t have gone missing! Do you know how important a child is to his mother?”

Rachel stood up straight, her eyes incisive. “I know it was my mistake back then. I caused you to lose your child, but that doesn’t mean you can humiliate me as you please."

She had never given up on looking for her younger brother. Sasha didn’t know about it, and she didn’t want her to know about it anyway.

Sasha snickered. “Humiliate? It was just a simple check, and you call it humiliating? Don’t forget, you haven’t been a part of our family for a long time! You’re not your father’s biological child. You’re nothing but an outsider to us. Since we just lost something valuable in the house, what’s wrong with me asking for a quick check?”

Yvette got back up on her feet and chimed in, “Exactly! What right do you have to strut in and out of our house whenever you like? Rachel Lloyd, do you really think you’re the daughter of this family just because you carry the family name?”

Rachel cast Yvette a look of disdain, a smirk on her face, her eyes piercing.

The sun was shining brightly outside, but Yvette felt a chill down her spine.

“Yvette Lloyd, do you know what I see in you? Low self-esteem. Why do you keep picking on me? Not completely because I took your place, but because of your pitiful pride and ego.

“You think that despite being the biological child of the Lloyds, you’re still bogged down by your wild upbringing and lack of class as a true heiress of a wealthy family. You’ve probably been on the receiving end of insults and mockery from heiresses of other families.

“You’re simply venting your frustrations from all that on me."

Rachel’s words were so accurate, Yvette froze on the spot, unable to move. Her face turned pale as she wrung her hands anxiously.
