hapter 21 An Encounter With an Old Acquaintance
Nancy asked coldly, “What do you want?”
Raine mumbled, “I know you fired Rebecca because of me, but she’s innocent. Take her back, and I’ll apologize to you, okay?”
“Ms. Lidell, you think too highly of yourself. The company’s business has nothing to do with you,” stated Nancy coldly before she ended the call. The disconnected tone rang in Raine’s ear before she could say anything. She cast Rebecca an apologetic glance, saying, “I’m really sorry, Rebecca.” Rebecca was as pale as a sheet. “It’s not your fault. Hang on, why did you call her ‘sis‘?”
Raine seemed to struggle with her words. “Actually… She’s also a Lidell.”
“What?” Rebecca was shocked.
Raine lowered her gaze helplessly. “I was also surprised when my parents told me about it. It turned out that Nancy went missing when she was little, and they only found her recently.
“My parents feel terribly guilty toward her, and I’ve been trying to help her fit into our circle. But she doesn’t seem to want anything to do with me, “One day, I overheard her on the phone with a friend, saying she wants to take back everything that belongs to her. I’m really disappointed.
to make it up to her. They never treated her badly, yet she still ignores them.”
“Mom and Dad have given her plenty of gift!

Rebecca was enraged. “She’s too much! It’s not your family’s fault that she went missing. This woman is nothing but selfish and vicious. Raine, I can’t believe you even pleaded her on my behalf. You’re too kind. I’m not going back. I’m sure there are better companies out there. “There are. In fact, I happen to know the CEO of Blossom Skincare. I’ll introduce you to him. The offer will be just as good as Duran’s,‘ Raine promised. Rebecca hugged Raine, exclaiming, “Oh my goodness! Raine, you’re too kind. I love you! Don’t worry. I’ll always be on your side. I won’t let you her.”

Raine nodded, viciousness flickering in her eyes.
Meanwhile, Nancy was completely oblivious of Raine’s doings. After work, Nancy went to the nearest mall to buy something for Ian and Freya. Nancy arrived at a jewelry store and caught sight of an emerald bracelet. “I’d like to try this on.”
“Sure,” said the employee.
As Nancy tried on the bracelet, a conversation rang out behind her.
“That’s right. Ever since that woman left, I feel much better. It’s Gideon’s birthday soon. I’m going to get him a gift that’ll blow his mind.”

A figure donned in Chanel’s latest products stepped into the store with Raine by her side. Raine frowned when she recognized the familiar silhouette in the store, unable to believe the coincidence.
However, Raine’s acquaintance had already approached Nancy and grabbed her by the shoulder. When Nancy turned around, the woman’s eyes widened with surprise. “Nancy, it’s really you!”
Raine was surprised that the daughter of the Seabournes, Winter Seabourne, knew Nancy.
Nancy was equally surprised to see Winter, but she greeted her calmly, “Hello, Ms. Seabourne.‘
Scrutinizing Nancy, Winter mocked, “How can you still be shopping here? You got chased out of Boraska. Stop acting like a daughter of a rich family.”
Winter lifted her chin, looking down at Nancy condescendingly. Back then, Nancy was the most popular person in their circle, outshining Winter in everything she did.
Winter had been holding a grudge against Nancy for a long time, but she never had the chance to vent it. She didn’t think an adopted daughter like Nancy deserved to have people from rich families befriend her.
