Chapter 441: Kind-hearted Woman Kelvin reached out to support Rachel and asked the manager to put the 300 dollars on his tab before sternly scolding him to leave. The restaurant manager, knowing that he couldn't afford to offend these wealthy people, left quickly, full of doubts about their relationship.
Inside the private room, Rachel's muffled sobs could still be heard. It was only after Kelvin had dealt with that despicable manager that she finally recognized the tall and handsyoung man in front of her as the young master she had taken care of before.
She looked at Kelvin with a mixture of surprise and joy, smiling with relief as she cried, "Master Kelvin, is it really you? This is so wonderful..." "So many years have passed, and you have grown up so much. You're a grown man now," she said.
"I still remember when you were only four or five years old and attending kindergarten. You were already this tall... Treally flies," she continued, her tears flowing like water from a faucet. Kelvin quickly handed her a tissue. "Rachel, don't cry. Let's sit down and talk.” Rachel nodded tearfully. She was a bit hesitant to sit in such an upscale seat. After all, she was just a dishwasher... Her clothes were stained with the kitchen's cooking smoke.
"It's okay, please sit. Chairs are meant for sitting, regardless of status or rank." He gently pressed her down onto the seat and carefully looked at Rachel. Then, he asked in a deep voice, "Rachel, my mom toldthat you went back to your hometown. Why did you stay in Akloit?" Hearing Kelvin mention the past, Rachel burst into tears and recounted the hardships she had faced in recent years. She had taken care of Kelvin's mother and discovered accidentally that there were two corpses hidden in her art studio. She was terrified...
Rachel would never forget the crazed look on the woman in the white dress when she showed her murderous intent.

She had no education, only a few years of schooling, and she couldn't speak beautiful words of praise. But she gotta say, Kelvin's mother seemed as pure as a lotus flower, untouched by worldly affairs and should not have been associated with those terrifying and bloody things.
Yet, Rachel had seen Kelvin's mother carefully applying makeup to the lifeless body in front of the dressing table, applying lipstick and combing its hair.
It resembled the way her own daughter delightedly dressed up her Barbie doll after receiving it, full of joy. When Kelvin's mother noticed her presence, she forced Rachel to resign on her own initiative. However, she publicly claimed that Rachel left due to family reasons. She also gave Rachel smoney. After returning to her hometown with that money, Rachel opened a grocery shop with her husband.
Her husband was a good-for-nothing, lazy man. He was tolerable when they were poor, but once their situation improved, he started having an affair and even had two children with the other woman. As a result, he beceven more contemptuous of Rachel, claiming that she used to work as a maid in a wealthy household, in other words, doing menial tasks like a servant, which embarrassed him. The grocery shop couldn't survive.
They quickly divorced, and Rachel had to take care of their two children on her own. Her son was born with poand couldn't walk, so he had to crawl on the ground with the help of a small stool.
Her son was five years older than Kelvin and finally got married at the age of 28. Her daughter-in-law was poor, and had smental issues. Her parents agreed to let her go with them for a dowry of just ten thousand. Although she was considered foolish, at least she was a normal woman.
After getting married, her daughter-in-law quickly got pregnant and gave birth to a chubby grandson.
Rachel, who had never had a good day in her life, pinned all her hopes on her grandson, leading her to becdistant from her daughter.
Rachel's daughter, who had received ssmall favors from her husband's second wife, had completely forgotten who her biological mother was and even called her stepmother "Mother".
Just two years after graduating from high school, Rachel's daughter married a man who was a driver and had a bad temper. They would often argue with each other.
When Rachel's daughter had a fight with her husband, she cback and take her frustration out on her mentally impaired sister-in-law, her brother got furious nad argued with her. Eventually, both of them ended up falling into the water, and Rachel's son drowned.
Rachel severed all ties with her daughter after the incident, but soon after burying her son, she discovered that her grandson had an illness. She had spent almost all of her savings and had no ability to have her grandson receive the best treatment in a large hospital.
Since the average salary in the small town was not high, she decided to return to Akloit with her foolish daughter-in-law and grandson.
She wanted to work as a nanny again because although the job might be a bit hard and exhausting, the salary was decent, and it provided meals and accommodation. Unfortunately, when potential employers found out that she was accompanied by her two dependents, they rejected her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRachel had to settle for doing slow-skilled labor in Akloit just to survive. From a young age, Kelvin had lived in a wealthy family, where money was just a number to him, and he couldn't fathom a family struggling so much because of it.
"Why don't you cback to the Foley mansion, Rachel?” Kelvin suggested. “Withthere, I can guarantee you a job." Rachel shook her head in silence. She had promised Kelvin's mother that she would never return to the Foley family. So, despite the hardships and poverty she faced, Rachel never considered going back to seek help from the Foley family.
Kelvin changed the topic, "How is your grandson's illness? I can help you get in touch with the hospital for free treatment." A glimmer of gratitude appeared on Rachel's face as she spoke, "My grandson is much better now. I have to thank Mrs. Foley." Kelvin looked puzzled, "What do you mean by 'Mrs. Foley'?" Rachel took out a crumpled piece of paper from her pocket, on which the phone number and address of Cheyenne were written. She cherished the paper and couldn't help but shed tears.
"Four years ago, when I just arrived in Akloit, I hadn't found a job yet and was doing odd jobs.
was perous I grandson and my daughter-in-law couldn't help me. So, I started selling chicken soup on the roadside."
"A female student approachedafter drinking the chicken soup | made. Her nwas Cheyenne, and she toldthat she was your fiancée. She askedto teach her how to make chicken up." "At first sight, I knew that she was a kind-hearted person. Plus, she was going to be your wife, so I decided to give her a chance. Miss Lawrence didn't disappoint me. Her hands were so soft and delicate that she doesn't seem to have done any housework, and yet she was able to handle the chicken butchering so cleanly. Later, she heard about the difficulties my family faced and contacted the hospital to provide free treatment for my grandson." "My grandson's illness has been cured, and I am truly grateful. I just taught her how to make a chicken soup, and she left a hundred thousand dollars in my house." "I've been keeping this note all along because I wanted to gather the 100, 000 dollars as soon as possible to repay Miss Lawrence." It turned out to be Cheyenne.
That bowl of chicken soup back then was indeed made by her. She even took care of Rachel for him... He knew how Cheyenne managed to get that 100, 000 dollars.
By chance, he had cacross Cheyenne signing up for a gaming competition. He had lightly mocked her for not focusing on her studies. If Π. he remembered correctly, the prize money for that competition happened to be five hundred thousand. Five people in a team, with each person receiving one hundred thousand dollars.
