Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot

Chapter 477: 171: I have never lost in my entire life, but I lost to a child!
Rachel Barton was somewhat confused.

What was going on?

Her parents wanted her to marry Zachary Mayhew?

How could that be possible!

Just last night, Beatrice Black even mentioned lending her money for college, so how could her parents, who treated her so well, want her to marry Zachary Mayhew.

However, it is normal for her elder sister, who has mental problems, to say such things.

Who would reason with a mentally ill person!

“Elder sister, mom and dad treat me really well,” Rachel handed the handkerchief-wrapped items back to Dolores Frieman, “You don’t need to worry about me.”

Upon hearing this, Dolores was extremely anxious as she didn’t want Rachel to end up like herself in the past.

Once upon a time…

Dolores was a person with dreams too.

Her dream was to go to college, leave this mountainous area and become a People’s Police officer.

Unfortunately…

In the end, she became a leftover grain of rice on a dishcloth.

“They’re deceiving you,” Dolores continued, “Can’t you see it? Why would I marry a man over sixty years old? Moreover, why does Geraldine always work away from home? It’s because they value men over women and don’t treat girls as human beings! After Geraldine and me, you have three younger sisters who are ranked fifth. The third and fourth daughters were thrown into the back mountain by them to feed wolves! Their ultimate goal is to have sons. In their hearts, only Ryan Diet is their flesh and blood! You’ve finally managed to escape this family, why would you return?”

“And Geraldine, do you really think she has a glamorous job outside? She’s being controlled by someone! She…”

In the end, Dolores was close to choking and couldn’t speak through her tears.

She wouldn’t believe that there were such parents in the world if she hadn’t experienced it firsthand.

After a moment, she took a deep breath, grabbed Rachel’s hands, and stuffed the wrapped handkerchief back into her hand, “Listen to me, run away quickly. This is the private money I’ve saved up over the years. It’s not much, but it’s enough for you to get out of here. Remember, never come back!”

After saying that, Dolores quickly turned and left.

Rachel looked at Dolores’s retreating figure, standing still with a slightly furrowed brow.

Was everything really as Dolores said?

Rachel’s emotions were complicated.

After a moment, she unfolded the handkerchief.

Layer by layer.

Scattered throughout were over six hundred dollars.

She didn’t know who to believe.

On one side were her birth parents, and on the other was her schizophrenic elder sister.

On the other side…

In the Mayhew family…

Beatrice Black and Gregory Diet were sitting on the sofa.

Zachary Mayhew brought the tea.

“Uncle, Auntie. Please have some tea.”

Beatrice laughed, “Zachary is such a filial child. Our Fifth Daughter will definitely enjoy her life with him.”

Zachary Mayhew was different from Sid Winslet.

Zachary was only thirty-five years old and unmarried. Although he had a limp, he was smart and worked in fish farming and planting. Over the past few years, he’d made a decent amount of money.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to afford an engagement gift of 500,000 yuan.

It was considered a great fortune for Rachel to marry Zachary.

Hearing this, Zachary Mayhew laughed, “Thank you, Auntie.”

Dalton Tavas was unhappy, “Zachary, you’re getting ahead of yourself! The wedding isn’t even set yet, why are you rushing to give thanks to your aunt?”

With his family’s conditions, Zachary could have found a prettier and shapelier girl.

Rachel was too skinny.

Now that Rachel hadn’t even moved in yet, Zachary was behaving like this. Once Rachel arrived, would Dalton have a say as the mother-in-law?

This was Dalton’s main reason for not agreeing to the marriage.

Jimmy Mayhew was smoking a cigarette in silence, not saying anything.

Dalton was usually the decision-maker in their household, so he never had a chance to say anything.

Knowing his place, Jimmy didn’t say anything more.

“Mom!” Zachary frowned, “Didn’t we agree on this already?”

“Agree on what?” Dalton asked.

It was 500,000 yuan!

With 500,000 yuan, they could at least marry someone they could be happy with.

Who was Rachel to them?

Upon seeing this, Beatrice Black stood up with Gregory Diet, “Zachary, since your family hasn’t decided yet, your uncle and I will leave first. Our Geraldine is not someone who can’t get married. If you don’t want her, there are others waiting!”

Having said that, Beatrice and Gregory walked out.

Upon seeing this, Zachary Mayhew became anxious.

He truly liked Rachel!

If it meant marrying Rachel, even if it meant spending all his fortune, he’d be willing to do so.

“Uncle, Auntie, please don’t go,” Zachary grabbed Beatrice and Gregory, “My mom didn’t mean that, please don’t misunderstand. It’s just a 500,000 yuan dowry, right? We’ll give it!”
