Chapter 200 Two Conditions

Noticing the invitation in his hand, Rachel was a bit surprised. She didn’t want to assume anything,so she went ahead and asked, “Do you have some time? I want to discuss something with you.”Looking into her eyes, Victor just nodded slightly, waiting for her to continue speaking. “I heard thatthere's this cruise tour.” “Do you want to come?” Victor immediately asked. Rachel nodded andexplained, “Although I'm not one of the biggest shareholder of Bennet Group right now, it's still myfamily’s business.

I have just taken over Bennet Group, so by convention, I should attend the events organized by theChamber of Commerce.” Victor still remained silent, looking at her intently as if trying to read hermind. In the past recent years, Rachel rarely showed up in public, and all kinds of unexpectedaccidents also happened during those few times she attended social events. Now that she took theinitiative to ask if she could attend such a formal event, Victor felt a bit strange.

He was trying to determine what her real motivation was. “If you are worried that I will use thatopportunity to escape from you, then you can refuse,” Rachel remarked nonchalantly. Victor couldsense the calmness and indifference in her tone, as if she didn't really care if she could come or not.She looked like a rose with its thorns removed, deprived of its unique beauty. Victor's heartsuddenly ached at the sight of her gloomy face.

Finally, he agreed, “You can come. But I have two conditions.” Rachel's brows raised, curious as towhat Victor would say. “What conditions?” Out of the corner of his eye, Victor saw Lukas who wasabout to bring in the warm milk. Then, he said, “First, drink the milk and have a good sleep.”Hearing this, Rachel was stunned, but she tried not to show it. She didn't expect that this wouldactually be one of Victor's conditions. After a moment, she pursed her lips and said, “Okay. What'sthe other one?” But instead of answering her, Victor took the warm milk from Lukas and put it onthe table in front of her. “Drink it first.”

After hesitating for a while, Rachel picked up the glass and drank it up, “Can you tell me now?” Afterputting the glass down, she looked up at Victor. “Alright. I will let you come, but you can't leave mysight at all times.” Before Rachel could speak, he added, “If you can't promise that, then I won'tallow you to come.” Upon saying that, he tightened his grip on the invitation.

For a brief moment, Rachel fell into silence, absorbing what Victor just said. Just when Victorthought that she would give it up, she suddenly spoke. “Okay... I'll do it.”

In the old urban areas of the capital city, several old buildings stood in rows. The broken streetlamps flickered in the narrow alley, and the sound of cats moaning could be heard from the almostempty surroundings from time to time. Knock! Knock! In an old-looking and poorly-constructedbuilding, someone knocked on the door of one of the rooms on the third floor.

Soon enough, there were footsteps heard from the inside, and the door was eventually openedslightly. “Ali...” The woman standing outside couldn't even finish saying the name of the person whoopened the door when she saw her appearance. When she was about to speak again, the personinside suddenly grabbed her arm and pulled her in.

After they got in, the resident of the room slammed the door. Caroline lost her balance and almostfell. When she finally collected herself, she was able to fully observe the room, and she was utterlysurprised. She saw that the room was in an extremely messy state, and the installed furniture was soold-fashioned. In just a glance, one could tell that the entire room looked shabby. “Alice, why areyou living in a place like this? This is no better than a dumpster!”

But when Caroline turned her head to look at Alice, she saw that the latter was looking through therusty cat's eye on the door, completely ignoring her question. “Alice, I'm talking to you. What areyou looking at?" Caroline frowned and pulled Alice's arm unhappily, trying to get her attention.“Don't touch me!”

Alice shouted and shook off her hand fiercely. Caroline was startled and taken aback by her viciouseyes. "Alice, what on earth...” But eventually, Alice regained her senses and realized that she wasoverreacting. Then, she called in a soft tone, “Mom...” “What's wrong with you? Did somethinghappen?

Why are you acting weirdly? You haven't been home for days, and I'll replace out that you're living insuch a place?” Caroline was getting more anxious the more she looked at the room. She wonderedwhy Alice would decide to stay in this place for days. The area was in a remote vicinity, and onedidn't even need an ID card to rent the place.

Alice sat down on the sofa, shook her head, and said, “Forget it. I'm just afraid that those people willcome to me and force me to pay the debts. This is only temporary.” “Alice...” Caroline looked atAlice, her eyes filled with concern. She patted her head and gently touched the scar on her face. “I'msorry you suffered this much.”

During these past few days, they had been running around to avoid the creditors. But no matterhow hard they tried, these people would always replace a way to locate them. Hence, Alice tried to gosomeplace where they might have a hard time replaceing her. After everything that happened, they hadbeen struggling and having a hard time. Then, Alice removed Caroline's hand on her face and askedimpatiently, “Mom, did you bring that thing I asked you?”

"What thing?” “The invitation for the cruise tour! Are you able to get one? Do you have it with you?”Alice replied in an anxious tone. When Caroline remembered the invitation, her expression changed,and she explained hurriedly, “Actually... Alice, listen to me, I really tried to get one. But...” Carolinepaused, not able to finish her words. Alice had lost contact with them these past several days. Notknowing where she was or what happened to her, they were all worried.

Then, just recently, Caroline finally received a call from Alice. She asked Caroline to help her get aninvitation to the cruise tour. But before Caroline could figure out what was going on, Alice hung upthe phone. Therefore, she had no choice but to go to the rich ladies who used to be her friends andask them if they could help her with this matter. However, she was driven away from their homes.No one wanted to see her face. “What?

I thought you were close with a lot of rich people? Why couldn't you get a single invitation? Damnit! Did you really try? I can't believe this!” Alice couldn't help but raise her voice, upset andfrustrated. “1 did... I've tried my best. But the moment they knew that our family had been in thisstate, they started looking down on us,” Caroline said, gritting her teeth in exasperation. Alice's facelooked sullen, but she said nothing.

Instead, she started walking back and forth. Caroline didn't really understand what it was for, so shecouldn't help but ask, “Alice, why do you suddenly want that invitation? In the past, you were neverinterested in such events.” Alice sighed and stopped pacing around. “Right now, we are goingthrough such a tough time.

Of course, the people going to that cruise are elites and rich. If I can get in, maybe I can replace a wayto help us out of this situation.” She didn't say it directly, but she was indicating that she would replaceand hook up with a rich man, who would be willing to provide her needs.

“Without the invitation, this plan is all worthless now. That's the only way in,” Alice explained,grunting afterward. Hearing this, Caroline suddenly thought of something and said, “Wait. Maybethere is still a way. But I don't think you'll be willing to...” “What way?”
