So, Viola must not find out about this.

After much thought, Rachel thought of Diana Hershey and Fiona Knight.

To her knowledge, both Diana and Fiona came from decent families.

So, she dialed Fiona’s phone number.

They usually communicated through WhatsApp, so when Fiona received a call from Rachel, she knew something must have happened.

“Hi, Rachel.”

“Fiona,” Rachel, asking for a loan for the first time, didn’t quite know how to bring this up; she thought for a while and continued, “Can I, can I trouble you for a favor?”

“Just say it, Rachel,” Fiona, always eager to help, replied, “As long as I can assist, I definitely will.”

Rachel then revealed her situation: “I’m facing some difficulties right now. Can you lend me some money, Fiona?”

Borrow money?

This was something new for Fiona.

“How much do you need?”

“Can you lend me 50,000 dollars?” Rachel hastily added, “Rest assured, Fiona, I’ll pay you back as soon as possible.”

Fiona gave it some thought.

After all, Rachel had been Viola’s close friend since they were young.

Out of respect for Viola, Fiona couldn’t leave Rachel in the lurch.

“Alright”, Fiona said.

“Thank you so much, Fiona,” Rachel was overjoyed. “I’m incredibly grateful!”

She only tried asking Fiona for a loan with a chance-taking attitude.

After all, it was Viola, not she, who was Fiona’s close friend, and she only got to know Fiona because of Viola.

She didn’t expect Fiona to agree.

50,000 dollars was no small sum, and Rachel was deeply touched.

“Should I transfer the money to your WhatsApp account?” Fiona asked.

“Yes,” Rachel replied, “And Fiona, could you please keep this a secret for me?”

As she finished, Rachel added, “Even from Viola.”

Upon hearing this, Fiona couldn’t help but ask, “Rachel, are you alright? If you’re facing any difficulties, remember to let us all know.”

“Yes, I will.” Rachel told her. “Fiona, please, please, keep this secret for me!”

“Alright.”

After hanging up the phone, Fiona transferred the money to Rachel.

Fiona received more than 150,000 dollars in spending money each month, so 50,000 dollars was not much to her.

Rachel immediately wired the money to her parents’ bank account.

When Beatrice Black received the transfer, she couldn’t stop smiling, “I never imagined that my daughter’s friends are so rich!”

50,000 dollars just like that—it was clear that these were not ordinary people.

Gregory Diet said, “If only we’d known, we could’ve claimed to owe 100,000 dollars!”

Beatrice shook her head, “Haven’t you heard the saying, moderation is key? 50,000 is enough. We must play the long game to reel in the big fish.”

Deceiving Rachel was their ultimate goal.

After transferring the money, Rachel called Beatrice again, “Mom, did you receive the money?”

“We did, sweetheart; your father and I are too embarrassed to face you now!”

Anyone else, after being reunited with their parents for less than a week and handing over 150,000 dollars, would probably be suspicious.

But Rachel did not.

When you’re in the situation, it’s hard to see things clearly.

Rachel comforted her, “Mom, I’m happy that I can do something for the family. Although I’ve been absent for the past decade, I’ve always been your daughter and a part of this family.”

A family should share joys and sorrows together.

“Good girl!” Beatrice acted as if she felt terrible, “All this trouble is because your father and I.”

“Mom, please don’t say that. I’m only doing what’s right!”

Beatrice sniffed before carrying on, “Sweetheart, do you guys have your College Entrance Examination on June 8th?” freewebnσvel.cѳm

“Our exams are on the 7th and end on the 8th,” Rachel replied.

Beatrice squinted and said, “Would it be alright if your father and I came to pick you up on the 9th? We can spend the summer vacation at home before you start college.”

“Sure,” Rachel suddenly looked forward to that day.

After discussing a few more trivial matters, Beatrice finally hung up the phone.

On the other side.

In Capital City.

Mary Perryne checked the calendar every day.

With the College Entrance Examination date drawing closer, she talked to Mrs. Thompson about it, “Mom, I’m thinking of going to River City to accompany Viola during the exams.”

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Thompson was thrilled, “You’re thinking just like me!”

She had kept quiet, waiting for Mary to speak up first.

Mrs. Thompson wanted to see if Mary still had Viola in her heart.

Mary laughed, “There are just a few days left before the exams. Why don’t we go earlier and give Viola a surprise?”

“Great idea!” Mrs. Thompson nodded in agreement, “And let’s bring Mantou with us.”
