Chapter 5 Back To The Bennet Family

Alice's fingernails were digging into her palms, and her chest was heaving up and down due to the anger she was feeling.

All of a sudden, she pulled Rachel up and slapped her face.

The slap left a palm print on Rachel's face.

Blood oozed from the corner of her mouth. Obviously, Alice used the best of her strength when she slapped Rachel.

Once more, Alice raised her hand and snarled, "You've become a lot more articulate since we haven't seen for a while, haven't you? Say something again, I dare you!"

"Alice, you know what?" Rachel spat out a mouthful of blood, stared at Alice straightfully. Her almond-shaped eyes looked as chill as ice.

"I will not spare any of the people who done crimes on me," Rachel sneered. "Blood for blood, you'd better remember my words!"

For a moment, Alice was startled by her gaze, but she soon came to her senses.

"Don't try to frighten me with that threat! Do you think a loser like you could scare me?" she said through gritted teeth.

Right after she said that, Alice slapped Rachel's face once more until it swelled up.

She then spoke loud to the servants waiting at the back, "Haven't you heard Mr. Sullivan's order for this women?"

"Yes, ma'am. He ordered us to remove her clothes and throw her out," a servant said, lowering her gaze.

"Okay, do your works now." Alice massaged her sore wrist, smiling with satisfaction before she decided to strut away.

Before long, the servants stripped Rachel down to her pelt, leaving only a set of silk underwear to barely cover her body.

While the servants supported her on each side of her arms as they walked towards the door, Rachel got completely passed out.

......

When she woke up again, it is a completely unfamiliar environment, looks like a simple rental house.

"No!" Rachel suddenly got sit upright and screaming. She was breathing heavily and looking ahead in horror.

Just then, someone pushed the door open from outside. Seeing that she was awake, the man set aside the medicine he had prepared and walked to the bed.

"Miss Bennet, you're finally awake," he said with concern.

Rachel looked at him vigilantly, forcing herself to calm down right away. She tried to recall the man's name, because he looked familiar. However, she couldn't remember who he was at the moment.

She looked down at her body and remembered that she had been thrown out of Victor's house; half-naked and almost dying. But now, she was still alive, sitting here in a tacky yet neat floral shirt with matching pants.

"Who are you?" Rachel's voice was hoarse, and it seemed like she was wary of him.

"We've met before, but you were still a child back then. It's normal that you don't remember me. I'm Andy Torres, your mother's private lawyer." The man smiled at her.

'Andy? Mom's lawyer?'

Rachel remembered that her mother did have a lawyer. "Did you save me?"

"I did. When I called you, a passerby answered the phone and said that you had fainted on the road and bare. But don't worry, I didn't see anything. The man who found you covered you with a coat, and then I carried you to my car and drove you back here," Andy explained.

"Then, why am I wearing these clothes?"

"Oh, I asked an old lady who lives next door to change it for you."

Rachel breathed a sigh of relief, but she still frowned. "You mentioned that you called me. What for?"

Her mother died when she was 13. Andy said that he was her mother's lawyer, but Rachel hadn't seen him for so many years. It was suspicious that he suddenly showed up this time.

Andy got up and walked out of the room. Moments later, he returned with a document, and gave it to Rachel.

"This is your mother's last will and testament," he said.

"My mother's will?" Doubt filled Rachel's eyes. If she remembered correctly, her mother left this world so suddenly that she shouldn't have the time to make a will.

Otherwise, Rachel's useless father and his mistress wouldn't have kept in such a high-profile. This is also why she changed her name and took her mother's family name.

"Yes, she entrusted me to be the witness of her will when she was still alive. She told me to make this will public, and give it to you on your 24th birthday."

Rachel remembered that her birthday was truly the same day of her divorce with Victor.

"It's clearly stated in this will that you will inherit all of your mother's assets, including fifteen percent of the Bennet Group's shares, and the villa she lived in before she died," Andy continued.

Rachel turned to the last page and she saw the name "Elisa Bennet" on the bottom right corner of the paper.

"Mr. Torres, how many days have I been unconscious?" asked Rachel.

"Three days."

"Good! It's their last three happy days." Rachel didn't expect the chance to get back at Alice to come so quickly. Just like what had she said, she won't let go of anyone who has hurt her and the Rachel of the past.

After saying that, Rachel walked towards the door.

"Miss Bennet, where are you going?" asked Andy.

Rachel stopped at the door, glancing at the will in her hand. She raised her eyebrows and smiled.

"To get back my house and my home of course!"

Half an hour later, Rachel and Andy stood in front of the door of Bennet family's villa. They had been ringing the doorbell dozens of times.

"Stop it! Who is there? A debt collector or something? You crazy horse!" The housekeeper trotted outside and shouted.

"You... it's you!" The housekeeper's face turned pale as soon as he saw Rachel. Somehow, he felt that she had a terrible aura about her today.

Rachel put on a sardonic smile. "Debt collector? Well, you are right. We do have a debt to collect."
