Chapter 262: The Present and the Past
Rachel was so furious that her hands trembled. Ever since she had been falsely accused of theft, she no longer dared to participate in high-society events.
Now, all she could do was wait—wait for people to forget about her scandal, and then everything would be okay.
What enraged her most was that Leah hadn’t said a single good word in her defense at the time, nor had she revealed Connor’s true identity, which had left Rachel fuming. They had agreed that once the plan succeeded, Leah would give her fifty thousand.
But when everything fell apart, Leah denied everything! Rachel was filled with resentment and anger.
But what could she do? Leah was the heiress of the powerful Carter Group, and Rachel was just an ordinary college student—no match for her at all.
At that moment, Rachel’s phone buzzed.
Seeing the name on the screen, Rachel hesitated for a moment but ultimately answered.
"Rachel, did you miss me? Sorry I didn’t answer your calls earlier; I’ve been busy," the voice on the other end chuckled.
Rachel bit her lip and asked, "Colin, can I borrow two thousand? I... I’ve run out of money for food this month."
Colin Fox was Rachel’s ex-boyfriend, who had already started working. They had dated for a while, but when Colin couldn’t get her to sleep with him, he dumped her, frustrated by her unwillingness.
Rachel was now forced to reconnect with him for the money.
