The Heiress Strikes Back

Jake sneered. “I don’t want to remember, but do I have a choice? If your mother hadn’t brought your brother to my house back then, my mother might not have been angered to death.”

Although Rachel felt awkward when she heard this, she could only smile respectfully.

Jake did not continue speaking. Instead, he took out a red jewelry box from his pocket and placed it in front of Rachel. “This was left for you by your mother. Now, I’ve returned it to its owner.”

She did not expect her mother to leave something for her. She was a little excited. It was probably some rare treasure. She would have another chance to show off to her old friends. She quickly opened the jewelry box...

Inside was actually a rusty... necklace?

What was this? Was he looking down on her?

Her tone was a little unfriendly. “Brother... what, what is this?”

“I don’t know much about it, but I heard that this is the only thing your mother brought into our family. I left it for you as a memory,” Jake said calmly.

“What are you doing? Who wants her things?” Rachel cursed. Was he f*cking playing with her?

The woman who abandoned her actually left such a thing for her? Wasn’t she too stingy!

Rachel looked at the worthless thing with an abnormally ugly expression. She had thought that it was a treasure that could be sold for some money to help them tide over their difficulties, but now it seemed like it was really nothing.

At the thought of this, Rachel sighed. “I didn’t expect them to still remember me. If they knew that I was still suffering a calamity, they would probably want to help me.”

How could Jake not tell that there was a hidden meaning in her words? His already ugly expression darkened even more, and he could not help but despise her. This was something that poor relatives could do. She started asking for money after just a little interaction. She was really not a good person.

However, he was here to fulfill the old man’s last wish, so he couldn’t say anything unreasonable, so he went with the flow and said, “So what disaster has befell the Harris family now?”

Madam Harris was waiting for him to ask that, she quickly said, “Our Harris family was originally in the renovation industry and was doing well. However, for some reason, we seemed to have met someone who wanted to harm our Harris family recently. Now that our capital chain has been cut off, the Harris family is on the verge of bankruptcy and I think we have to find a sum of money to finance ourselves.”

When Jake heard this, he nodded indifferently. “Alright, you might be able to improve after going through this crisis.”

She did not expect her hint to be met with such a sentence. When Madam Harris heard this, she only wanted to scold him. This Jake was pretending to be confused!

Since he knew that they were not doing well now, couldn’t they take out some money? It was too boring to talk nonsense here. They even said that their family’s development will improve. It was simply a joke.

If not for the fact that she had a favor to ask of Jake, Madam Harris might have turned hostile on the spot.

Jake looked at the people behind Madam Harris and said, “You haven’t introduced them to me. They are...?”

Madam Harris took a deep breath. She had just realized that Jake might see Nicole in a new light. She wondered if she could use her to give the Harris family a chance to catch their breath.

At the thought of this, Madam Harris introduced calmly, “This is my second son, Zachary. This is my grandson, Zaron.”

Jake nodded without expressing anything.

Zaron did not expect his family to have such a relative. He quickly smiled and said, “Hello, Chairman Sand. Please take care of me in the future.”

“This is the daughter of my third son. Her name is Nicole.” Madam Harris introduced her seriously with an intriguing smile on her face.

“Okay.” Hearing this, Jake nodded but did not say anything.

Although Nicole was not a top beauty, she was definitely top-notch. To be able to have a place in the socialite circle in New York, she was not an ordinary person.

Unfortunately, Nicole was disappointing and the Harris family did not pay much attention to nurturing her, which was why she became like this.

“Nicole is not young anymore and doesn’t have a boyfriend. Brother, if you see anyone suitable beside you, please help me introduce them.”
