Chapter 202 No One Can Replace Her
Ten minutes later, they went aboard the ship. Victor arranged a suite next to his for Rachel. It had one bedroom and a living room. Afraid that she would escape, Victor also brought a maid to look after her. The maid would stay in the living room to guard Rachel while she was resting. Rachel didn’t oppose.
When Rachel came out of the bathroom, she caught the maid trying to open her suitcase. “What are you doing?” she asked, frowning The maid who was startled by her sudden question quickly stood up and faced her. “Unpacking your things for you, Miss Bennet,” she explained. As if observing her, Rachel looked at her up and down.
Then, she pulled the suitcase to her side and told the maid indifferently, “I don’t like other people touching my things. Leave it to me. I can manage.” “Then… Miss Bennet, what can I do for you? Do you need anything?” The maid seemed overly obedient. It was because she knew how much Victor cared about Rachel.
The maid thought if she made her happy, she would have a raise. Moreover, she heard that Rachel had been very kind to her former maid, Abby. Everyone said that she treated that maid like her own sister. But now, Abby was dead. As a new maid, she needed to win Rachel’s favor so she would make her stay.
“Miss Bennet, I heard about what happened to Abby. You must be very upset. I haven’t met her yet, but I guess she was a very nice girl since you like her so much. However, she’s gone now. I think it’s best if you move on, Miss Bennet. If you want to, you can treat me as her. I will try my best to serve you well, just like what Abby did.” The maid thought she had hidden her thoughts well, but Rachel had seen through her.
She knew that the maid only said such words in order to gain her favor and please Victor. Sure enough, people were social climbers. However, she could not blame the maid. After all, it was human nature to be capricious, especially in her current position. As long as there was a chance for people like her to climb up, they would definitely seize it. Unfortunately, her scheme would not work on Rachel. “Abby was never my maid,” Rachel said.
“Miss Bennet…” With an indifferent look, Rachel added with emphasis, “There’s only one Abby. No one can replace her. I will never see you as her.” The maid bit her bottom lip, lowered her eyes, and clenched her fists. “Miss Bennet, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to replace her. I just…”
The maid wanted to explain, but before she could do so, Rachel cut her off. “You want to work for me, don’t you?” Rachel asked. The maid nodded heavily. “Miss Bennet, as long as you agree to let me serve you, I will do anything you ask me to do. I promise!” “Sorry, but I can’t let you stay.” “But…why?”
You must be careful in the next couple of days. She might be hiding there somewhere.” A smirk appeared on Rachel’s lips. She tapped the table with her fingertips while listening to Quintin. “I don’t know if she’s stupid or smart for daring to come to you. But, boss, how do you know that Alice will try to sneak onto the ship?” A few days ago, Rachel told him with certainty that Alice would come to her. He doubted the idea at first, but it turned out to be true.

When someone had tried to kill once, that person might lose his mind and wouldn’t be afraid to do it again.
Alice hated Rachel to the core. Once she found out about her whereabouts, Alice would definitely find a way to get to her. That was why Rachel gave her a bait. This was the chance that could make Alice completely lose her mind. The cruise tour was the best opportunity at the moment.
The elites were the common guests on such an expensive cruise ship. Alice was once one of them, and now she had nothing. Once she learned that Rachel would be there, Alice’s jealousy would burn her sanity. She would be desperate to come to her no matter what it would take.
