When Love Is a Lie (Whitney and Damian) novel Chapter 27

Rachel took an hour off work and satincalt

Just as she took her first spot coffee, Rebecca sat down across from her.

“Ms. Yanes, what did you mean by what you said on the phone?” Rebecca asked.

One was the adopted granddaughter of the Howard Eamily, and the other was Whitney’s stepmother. The two had practicallyno connection to each other. When Rachel called her, Rebecca was surprised, and Rachel’s words left her even more bewildered.

seems you’re still in the dark. Mr. Spencer didn’t tell you, did he? Rachel said with a smug look on her face

Rebecca couldn’t stand Rachel. After all, she was just an orphan adopted by the Howard family. She was not truly one of them

The wore Rachelcarried herself rubbed Rebecca the wrong way, but her curiosity outweighed her irritation.

“Stop beating about the bush. What is it?” Rebecca asked.

Rachel put down her coffee cup, “Whimey’s mother is about to wake up. Do you think you can hold onto your place as Mrs. Spencer?

“Wake up? Rebecca was shocked. “Margaret’s been in a coma for 20 years. The experts can’t do anything. How could she just wake up?”

“There’s a new drug, specifically developed for patients who’ve been in comas for years. It’s extremely rare and costs millions per dose. As far as I know, Whitney has already asked Mr. Spencer be cover the cost!!

Rebecca’s expression immediately darkened.

A single pill that cost millions? How much was the Spencer family worth now? And that wealth was supposed to be left to her son, Matthew. How could she let milions slip away for nothing?

Rachel stood up, giving her last remark before leaving. “Mrs. Spencer, I’m not sure how much longer you can keep this title. I’m only telling you this out of sympathy for the 20 years you’ve devoted to the Spencer family. Don’t let all your efforts go to waste for someone else’s sake. What you do next is up to you.”

With that, Rachel quickly left the café, leaving becca in a daze.

Ever since Noel had asked her if she was content with being a secretary, Whitney felt an urge to pursue her profession. But she knew that if she were to dive back into architecture, she’d need to brush up on her knowledge

All her architecture books were still at the Spencer residence, so she drove home after work

As soon as she entered the door, she heard a sorrowful cry.

In the living room, Rebecca was dragging a suitcase, crying like her heart was breaking.
