“The first time we met, a small gift, let’s open it and see,” Iris said with a smile.
“Uh–huh,” Rachel happily took it and opened it.
Inside was a handmade embroidered dress, the embroidery on the clothes was exquisite, just like a living thing.
“Wow, so beautiful, I love it.” Rachel exclaimed, “Thank you, Ira.”
Iris smiled slightly, “It’s my greatest honor that you like it.”
On the other side, Lilian was dragged out of the Knighton’s villa and then she behaved herself, not daring to shout or struggle anymore.
She was escorted all the way to Fairmont Hotel by the Knighton family’s bodyguard and was arranged to stay in a pretty nice suite.
Naturally, all her expenses at the hotel, the Knighton family would cover for her.
The bodyguard left, the door closed, she breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly took out her phone to call her dad, Nikolas Aguilera.
She pretended to be pitiful, clinging to Rachel to take her home for the New Year, just because her dad Nikolas encouraged h
Rachel looked so much like Merlin.
After meeting Merlin, Nikolas remembered what he looked like when he was young.
When Nikolas took Lilian to Freyston for school, he met Rachel,

Lilian’s classmate. After some investigation, he finally confirmed that Rachel is Merlin’s daughter.
Who is Merlin, man? He’s a big shot in the global investment world.
If they could hook up with Merlin, that would be something.
So, he told Lilian to do whatever it takes to get along with Rachel and become friends.
Lilian didn’t let him down either. By the end of the semester, she had become the best friend of Rachel in the class.
“Dad, guess who I saw in Beachdell?” Lilian said, sounding surprised over the phone.
“Who? Merlin?” asked Nikolas on the phone.
“Of course not!”
Lilian rolled her eyes, “Following Rachel home and meeting her parents, isn’t that a normal thing? What’s so surprising.”
“Good girl, tell me, how was it when you saw Merlin, how did they treat you?” Nikolas only cared about Merlin, only cared about his own interests.
Lilian was furious and stomped her foot, shouting, “Dad, I saw Iris at the Knighton’s villa.”
“Iris?!” Nikolas on the phone was shocked, “You actu
saw that
little beast at the Knighton’s villa? Are you sure you didn’t make a mistake?”
“Dad, there’s nothing wrong with my eyes. Can’t you even recognize your own sister? That’s Iris,” Lilian said angrily.

Nikolas was shocked for a few seconds, still a bit incredulous, “My goodness, you actually saw that little beast at the Knighton’s villa.”
“Why was she at the Knighton’s villa?”
“What was she doing at the Knighton’s villa?”
“What was the Knighton family’s attitude towards her?”
“Better or worse than before?”
He bombarded Lilian with several questions in one breath. Lilian was confused and angry, so she stomped her foot and said, “Dad, why do you care so much about her? Didn’t you and mom say that when she died, she ceased to exist?”
“Oh my little darling, I’m not just caring about her, I’m caring about you too.”
Lilian was always pampered and spoiled since she was a child, she didn’t really use her brain much, everything had to be taught by Nikolas and his wife personally.
Nikolas has always been very patient with his little daughter, Lilian.
He explained kindly, “Just think about it, if the Knighton family treats that little animal well, what will you do? That little creature will definitely speak ill of you in front of the Knighton family, making them dislike you. Then all your efforts in the past six months will be in vain.”
After he pointed it out, Lilian finally realized and immediately became
uneasy.
