Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot

Mr. White arrived shortly after receiving the call.

The first thing he said when he entered the living room was, “Sister, I just saw that your family bought a lot of new furniture. Don’t throw away the cardboard boxes, save them for me.”

Hearing Mr. White’s words, the maidservant felt a pang of pain.

After all, those cardboard boxes were supposed to be taken home by her.

Who would have thought they would be snatched halfway by someone else?

Moreover, the person who snatched these boxes was the head of the White family, who was thousands of times wealthier than her.

It was so unjust.

How could an upper-class Boss snatch their humble means of living?

Whining.

Hearing this, Mrs. Zacks frowned slightly, “How much can those cardboard boxes be sold for?”

Mr. White said seriously, “The current price at the waste station is 1.2 yuan per catty, and I think those boxes at your house are at least 100 catties.”

One hundred yuan could be used for a lot of things.

Moreover, he didn’t need to go out of his way to visit the waste station. There was one just on the way to his company.

Understanding her brother’s personality, Mrs. Zacks didn’t say anything more, only sighing, “How great would it be if you put all this energy into finding a wife?!”

Mr. White didn’t say anything.

Is a wife more attractive than money?

Mrs. Zacks looked at Rachel, “Rachel, do you think I’m right?”

Rachel could only nod, “Yes.”

Mrs. Zacks continued, “See, even Rachel thinks I’m right, and you still haven’t found a girlfriend!”

Rachel’s heart was beating faster and faster with each passing moment.

She lowered her head, not daring to look at Mr. White.

Mr. White didn’t want to continue the topic, “Sister, is it time for dinner? I’m hungry.”

“It’s about time,” Mrs. Zacks looked up at the clock on the wall and then instructed the maidservant, “Go and call Fiona and the others to come down for dinner.”

“Alright.”

Mrs. Zacks had prepared a lavish meal in the kitchen today.

During the meal, she specifically asked Rachel to sit by her side.

She kept putting food on Rachel’s plate.

After putting food on Rachel’s plate, she did the same for Mr. White, as they both sat on her left and right.

After putting food on Rachel’s and Mr. White’s plates, Mrs. Zacks asked Flora to do the same for Diana Hershey and Fiona Knight.

This scared Fiona and Diana, who immediately picked up their bowls, “Aunty, we can get whatever we want to eat, you don’t have to be polite.”

Mrs. Zacks said, “It’s not about me being polite, but you shouldn’t be polite. Just treat this place like your own home. Come to visit with Rachel often and don’t be restrained.”

Upon hearing these words, a part of Rachel’s heart was instantly filled.

She thought her guess should be correct.

Mrs. Zacks was trying to match her with Mr. White.

At this thought.

She quietly looked up at Mr. White.

Her heart was beating rapidly.

Thump, thump.

One beat after another.

Suddenly, she felt that the distance between her and Mr. White had become much closer.

Maybe one day, they could truly become a family.

After all, Mrs. Zacks liked her so much.

But when she thought about her family situation and Delia Frieman’s job, she began to feel inexplicably frustrated.

Would anyone accept a girlfriend with a sister who has such a special profession?

It was already difficult for ordinary families, let alone the prestigious White family.

It seems.

She needed to help Delia return to the right path as soon as possible.

At this moment, Rachel began to feel grateful.

Grateful that her last name was Barton.

Not Frieman.

After dinner.

Rachel went to the restroom.

When she came back, she heard Mrs. Zacks chatting with Flora.

Rachel didn’t have the habit of eavesdropping.

Her upbringing didn’t allow her to pry on other people’s conversations.

But just as she was about to leave, she suddenly heard this, “Mom, do you really like Rachel a lot?”

After all, the conversation was about her.

Driven by curiosity, Rachel stopped in her tracks.

“Mhm,” Mrs. Zacks nodded, “Rachel is a well-behaved child, and it’s rare for parents not to like such a child.”

Flora squinted her eyes, “Mom, but I think you’re being too nice to Rachel. Do you want her to be your sister-in-law?”

Sister-in-law.

When she heard these words, Rachel’s heart became very nervous.

She was also very anxious.

She looked forward to Mrs. Zacks’ answer.

This was a question she had always wanted to ask but didn’t dare to. She didn’t expect it to be brought up by Flora today.

“Oh, stop your nonsense,” Mrs. Zacks glared at Flora, and then said, “Where are your uncle and Rachel a suitable match? Don’t think too much. I am treating Rachel well because I think this child and I are destined for each other, and also because her background is so pitiful. She has grown up without parents, shouldn’t I care for her more?”

Mrs. Zacks did indeed like Rachel a lot.

However, it was just a casual liking.

She had never thought about matching Rachel with her brother.

Hearing this, Rachel’s heart felt as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on her.

From head to toe.

Her body was ice-cold.

Her face turned pale as well.

So, it turned out that she had been deluding herself all along.

It turned out that Mrs. Zacks was good to her only because she thought she was pitiful.

She was just a pitiful creature.

Ridiculous.

Absolutely ridiculous.

Rachel covered her mouth tightly, trying not to let the sobbing sound come out.

For fear of being found by Flora and Mrs. Zacks, she hurried back to the restroom, locked the door, and turned on the faucet on the washbasin.

It was only then that Rachel dared to cry out loud.

Almost suffocating.

She hated her own self-delusional behavior.

She hated her lack of insight even more.

She was clearly not from the same world as them, so why did she try so hard to fit in?

Rachel looked at herself in the mirror, crying and then laughing.
