Chapter 1 Marrying Into The Family For My Sister

  • "Do you expect me to marry that paralyzed man in Selene's place? Absolutely not!"
  • Rachel Christoff couldn't believe the absurd situation she had encountered upon returning to the Christoff Family.
  • Her father, Michael Christoff looked concerned. "Rachel, please consider it. I went through a lot of trouble to bring you back from the countryside. Your sister is already engaged to the young master of the Xanders. You wouldn't want her to betray him, would you?"
  • "This has nothing to do with me!" Rachel firmly refused.
  • Ever since her stepmother Queenie Henderson married into the family, her father had sent her and her grandmother to the countryside and never visited.
  • If Rachel hadn't taken matters into her own hands, she would have starved on the streets.
  • "Rachel, I advise you not to be shameless. Being able to marry into the powerful and influential Fuller Family with your background is something you should be grateful for. Don't get arrogant."
  • Queenie's delicate face was filled with estrangement and disgust. If it weren't for the young master of the Fullers being paralyzed, how could such a good opportunity fall into the hands of this wretched girl?
  • Rachel, despite being raised in the countryside, didn't lack sophistication. Instead, she exuded an extraordinary and ethereal aura. Her petite face was as smooth as jade, with delicate features. Even a woman would be captivated by her appearance, let alone a man.
  • Rachel sneered. Powerful and influential? With her current abilities, buying the entire city would be a piece of cake. She didn't need to rely on any man.
  • "Even if I have to marry him, you're not the one calling the shots here, you homewrecker."
  • Her delicate features and exceptional appearance made her stand out. Her skin was tender. However, behind this innocent-looking girl, her eyes were exceptionally sharp.
  • "How dare you speak to your stepmother like this!"
  • Along with Michael's accusation came a slap, landing heavily on Rachel's face.
  • She covered her painful face, her eyes shining even brighter.
  • Queenie took out a few photos from her bag. "These are the places your grandmother visited during those days. The last location is the Fuller Residence. If you want her death to remain a mystery, you can choose not to marry."
  • Rachel looked at the silhouette of her grandmother in the photo, her chest filled with anger. She clenched her fist tightly. She didn't care who she married; even without a man, she could still live on. But with her grandmother's death, she had to thoroughly investigate it.
  • She took a deep breath. "Alright, I'll marry."
  • Queenie smiled triumphantly and approached Rachel. She raised her hand, ready to pat her on the shoulder, but Rachel coldly dodged it.
  • "Heh... You wouldn't have been slapped if you had just said yes. Don't worry; by marrying into the family, you won't lose out. At least in terms of material wealth, you'll live a good life."
  • She had long known that the old lady was Rachel's weak spot. Coincidentally, she had visited the Fullers before she died.
  • Even if someone from the Fullers had caused her death, it had nothing to do with Queenie. As long as Rachel was willing to marry, everything would be fine.
  • Rachel swore in her heart that she would definitely find out the true cause of her grandmother's death and bring the culprit to justice.
  • As for this slap, she would remember it.
  • The next morning, Michael sent a driver to drop Rachel off at the entrance of the Fuller's house. Due to time constraints, he didn't have a chance to see how Rachel was dressed.
  • The people from the Fullers were already waiting at the door. When they saw Rachel, the butler, Johnson, almost had his glasses fall off his nose.
  • What kind of girl did the master want the young master to marry? She's hideous!
