Chapter 126 Raine Was Nothing More Than the Other WomanÂ
Raine smiled sweetly and said, “Don’t be upset with Mom, Nancy. In the end, your sales will be revealed anyway. But don’t worry, even if you lose, we’ll still welcome you as long as you’re willing to come back.”Â
“That’s not right, Raine. We made a clear bet from the start. If she loses, she will never be allowed to return to our family!” Fergus said anxiously.Â
“Fergie, don’t be like this. Nancy is all alone out there, and it must be so hard for her.” Raine’sÂ
expression softened with concern.Â
“I truly believe she wants to come back and be with us again.”Â
She blinked at Nancy, her eyes shimmering with fake warmth. “Isn’t that right, Nancy?”Â
Inside, Raine was brimming with triumph. If Nancy had the nerve to return, everyone would look down on her, and her life in the Lidell residence would be miserable.Â
“Thank you for your kindness. But this time, you’re the one who has to leave.” Nancy’s voice was cold as she laid her stack of order slips in front of Martha.Â
Martha looked it over, her eyes widening in shock. “Seven million!”Â
The figure stunned everyone.Â
“How is that possible?”Â
Raine’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Grandma, you need to look carefully. Did she cheat?”Â
Martha put the order slips down firmly. “Do you think I can’t tell the difference? Nancy really made seven million in sales tonight.”Â
Raine still refused to believe it and snatched the order slips for herself. As she skimmed it, her eyes fell on a single order worth two million dollars-from Fuller Group.Â
Fuller Group…Â
A sudden idea flashed through Raine’s mind.Â
“Nancy, did you go to Alex as well?” she demanded.Â
“What does it matter to you?” Nancy replied coldly.Â
“Nancy, Alex is my fiance. How could you do this?”Â
The thought that the two might have spoken privately made Raine’s skin feel as if ants wereÂ

crawling all over her. The idea of her man being tainted by Nancy was unbearable.Â

Before Nancy could speak, Martha’s voice rang out, sharp and furious. “Raine, what nonsense are you spouting? That engagement was always between Nancy and Alex! Who gave you the right to question her?”Â
Raine’s vision swam, her eyes brimming with tears of anger and humiliation. “So that’s how it is? All these years in this family, you never saw me as your granddaughter. If that’s the case, then I’ll leave the Lidell family right now!”Â
With that, she bolted up from her chair and ran out of the room.Â
“Raine!” Fergus panicked, then turned to Nancy with fury.Â
“Why are you just standing there, Nancy? Go after her! Tell her you’ll never have anything to do with Alex.”Â
Nancy had no interest in Alex to begin with, but their words only made her laugh coldly. “Why would I do that? According to the engagement, Alex is my fiance. Raine is nothing more thanÂ
the other woman.’Â
Fergus finally lost control. His face twisted with rage as he spat, “You bitch! Do you really think the Fullers would ever want someone like you?”Â
The insult had barely left his mouth when a sharp crack split the air. A tooth flew loose, and he clutched his jaw in shock. The pain was so intense that his temples throbbed and his visionÂ
blurred.Â
Nancy calmly pulled her hand back and plucked a piece of hard candy from the crystal bowlÂ
beside her.Â
She rolled it between her fingers, her tone coldly detached, and said, “I’ve already given you more patience than you deserve. If not for this insignificant blood relation, you wouldn’t even have the chance to stand here and speak to me.”Â
“You…” Fergus tried to curse again, but the pain in his jaw was unbearable. He glared at Nancy a few more times before turning on his heel and hurrying after Raine.Â
Regina’s heart ached as she watched her children storm off. She opened her mouth to defend them, but when her eyes met Nancy’s cold, detached gaze, the words caught in her throat.Â
Martha’s voice rang out, harsh and unyielding. “Look at what you’ve done. You’ve spoiled Raine and turned her into this mess. I now declare that in this design competition, Nancy is the winner! If Wendy does not show significant improvement within three months, then Nancy will become the heiress.”Â
