Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 1601

Her icy heart seemed to warm a corner in an instant as Raynee's entire body went limp. Next, Gerdi brought the fragrant vegetable porridge over. That was right. Gerdi, the woman who looked more like a maid than the servants in her family, was her biological mother, but few people knew about it.

Everyone thought that Raynee was the most favored or even the only daughter of the Wagner Group, but in fact, ha...

She used to think so. She was the daughter of the Wagner Group, born into a noble family, with parents who loved her, a respectable family background, and endless wealth. No, to be more precise, it was indeed the case from the beginning, but everything was different since Stephanie was born!

She didn't know if her mother was considered to be a mistress, but she was the child of her mother and father.

Her father and the legitimate wife, her mother by name, had not had children for years after they had gotten married. Later, Gerdi gave birth to her. Perhaps to maintain the complete family, they took her over as their own. According to her memory, she had always thought that the legitimate wife was her biological mother, but the cruel reality proved that after a woman who had once claimed to be impossible in getting pregnant suddenly got pregnant and gave birth to her own flesh and blood, she, the so-called biological child who was accepted into the family, had an awkward position.

At first, she didn't understand, but later, she came upon a realization of why her mother favored her sister over her and why her mother didn't treat her as before. No matter how hard she tried, she failed to win over Stephanie. At first, she thought that she had to give in to Stephanie since she was the elder sister, but later, she realized that she was not her mother's biological daughter.

Yet, the incident had happened for years. Not knowing whether it was to compensate for the loss of her daughter, Gerdi was allowed into the Wagner Family home. Although Gerdi was sometimes referred to as the servant on the outside, she had always been the second lady at home though she did not have a proper title that acknowledged her position. Stephanie, too, addressed her as "Madam Wilken".

Raynee was the eldest daughter of the Wagner Group known to the public, to the point where many did not know that Stephanie, the second daughter of the Wagner Family, existed. Everything seemed to remain the same as it had been. Whenever they were required to attend business gatherings, Mrs. Wagner would bring her along. It seemed that nothing had changed, but in fact, everything had changed.

To maintain the reputation of the family, everyone put on an act for such a lie for more than a decade. She was the daughter of the Wagner Group, the biological daughter of the legitimate wife. The husband and wife of the Wagner Group were in love with each other, the family was harmonious, and her career was accomplished. Everything was so wonderful...

Eating the porridge, Raynee was displeased.

She knew very well that she was not the reason why everything did not change. Instead, it was for the Wagner Group's interest because they had once announced to the public that she was their biological daughter.

"Raynee, don't take her words seriously. You know this is how she talks..."

"When you were in trouble, and the call arrived at home, it caused a scene. Mrs. Wagner was unhappy. You'd better not do this in the future. Fortunately, your dad is not at home. Else, he would have complained that you're incapable of handling things well..."

"In the past two years, the economy has been poor, and all industries have experienced bankruptcy. The Wagner Group is also on the verge of collapse. Raynee, you should also help your father out since you're well-connected with Mr. Johnson. I heard from your father that among so many activity centers, he can purchase and set up some sports machines. Not only does it not take up much space, but it can attract more customers as well. Isn't that a good thing? We'll be keeping the goodies within the family, won't we?"

"You have to work harder. Everyone can't usually move on from their past relationships!" The same was true for men!

The gentle voice went on nagging endlessly. Raynee grew increasingly irritated and annoyed as she listened on. Flinging the bowl aside, she growled.

"Do you want me to be like you in staying by a man's side without a proper title and status for a lifetime?"

"All you know is to force me! Force me! Who has ever thought about me? Now that I'm in such a state, who cares about my health? We broke up, broke up! It's not that I dumped him, but he's the one who dumped me! I've told you so many times that I can't do anything about it. Are you all deaf?"

"What dad? He's someone else's husband. What does it have to do with you? Why are you so worried? Are you worried about your life-saving expenses? You gave your daughter to another woman, while your husband is hers as well? Why are you speaking up for her? Can't you be more dignified and have some self-respect?"
