His Domineering Lover -
Chapter 615
The servant opened the door. Rachel's heart kept pounding. She was more nervous than she was at her first award ceremony. "You're here. Come in." Annalee welcomed them with a bright smile.
"Auntie, nice to meet you." Rachel took out the gifts. She was so nervous that her voice was trembling.
"Oh, thank you. You're so considerate, Rachel." Annalee kept smiling. She looked a lot gentler than she had been at the hospital.
Many people might not be actors, but they were good at acting. When they put on their masks, no one knew what they were really thinking.
Rachel had a good impression of Annalee until she came to the hospital and said those things. Now she knew that
Annalee's smile was tinged with cruelty.
Rachel followed William into this house like his tail. In the living room, she saw William's father and grandparents. The dinner was served and the smell of food was in the air. Rache had been eating a lot more since she got pregnant. When she was a star, she ate very little because the audience was strict with her figure.
After she quit showbiz and got pregnant, she stopped dieting.
"Hi, Grandma and Grandpa. Hi, Uncle." Rachel greeted them.
They all had seen Rachel on TV before. "Rachel, have a seat," said Misael Turner, William's dad.
"Thank you, Uncle." Rachel sat down cautiously. She kept silent when no one was talking to her.
"What would you like to drink?" asked William.
"I'm not thirsty." She wasn't this nervous when she went to the Sheng family. Everyone in the Sheng family was nice, expect for Aydan.
However, the Turners looked like they had a feud with her. Callie Turner, William's grandma, sat down next to Rachel and said, "You're so much better looking than you are on TV. William, go to the kitchen get Rachel some fruit."
"Okay." William stood up and went to the kitchen.
Rachel started to freak out again. The point was, Callie's expression changed immediately as soon as William left. "Grandma, is there something you want to say to me?" Rachel could tell that Callie kept William away on purpose.
"Rachel, you're indeed smart. Annalee should have talked to you. We feel the same way she does." Callie got to the point.
Rachel had thought that William convinced them. It seemed that William and she were both fooled. This was not a friendly dinner.
"Grandma, I love William and he loves me. Why can't you guys agree with us being together?"
"Rachel, you're so gorgeous. I'm sure you'll replace someone who loves you more. William is the only son of the Turner family, so we expect a lot from his wife.
"We want a woman with a clean background, but you're not even close. After all your years in the entertainment business, you know the rules better than I do.
"You used to be a superstar, and I hear superstars sleep with directors and producers to get more resources."
Callie was saying that Rachel had had sex with a lot of guys to be more popular. That was mean and hurtful.
Moreover, Callie was William's grandmother. If this had been the past, Rachel would have lost her temper. Now she just suppressed her anger and kept a polite smile.
"Grandma, you misunderstood me. There are rules in show business, but I became a big star by myself and my family.
"Acting is just a hobby of mine, and I didn't do it for a living. As the only daughter of the Nan family, I didn't have to sleep with anyone for resources.
"It didn't take me long to get into show business and become a superstar, but that doesn't mean I've slept with a lot of men. It has to do with my family background and my own efforts."
Callie thought for a moment before saying, "But you had a lot of scandals before. We can't possibly let you be with William for that.
"Moreover, you were married once. I know the Nan family is a big family, but not big enough for us to accept a divorced woman."
"So, you didn't invite me here because you accepted me, but because you wanted me to leave William?" Rachel sneered.
Misae, who had been silent, said, "Rachel, I think you're smart enough to know what to do. You know what? William has agreed to marry Miss Gardener. You'd better give up on him.
"I know you love him with all your heart, so to make it up to you, we'll give you ten million..."
Rachel couldn't believe what was happening. It was kind of like a scene from a movie she was in. Cinderella was in love with Prince Charming, but his parents tried to get her to leave him for money. However, she was not Cinderella but the princess! Wasn't it funny that they wanted her to leave William for money?
"Uncle, you think I care about money?"
"I didn't say that. I know how rich your family is. It's just that we want to compensate you.
"Miss Nan, we are all adults, and it's a very real world. If we don't agree, you'll never be Mrs. Turner. What's the point of you staying with William?
"Moreover, William has agreed to go on a blind date with Miss Gardner, who is clean and lovable. She is the ideal wife for him.
"I'm sorry. We may have spoken out of turn, but we meant no harm. No one is irreplaceable. Please let go of my son." Misael said without mercy.
"Do you think William will be happy in a marriage without the blessing of his family?" Annalee added.
"If you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go." Only then did Rachel know how naive she was.
None of William's family liked her, and they were all mean.
She could not stay any longer. She stood up to leave, and no one stopped her. Perhaps that was exactly what they wanted. They humiliated her so that she would give up on William.
It turned out that her self-esteem meant so little to them.
