Merlin sat down in front of the sofa, took a deep look at his daughter with swollen eyes, and said slowly, “Rach, people’s hearts are hard to see through. You are still young and have experienced less evil. There are many things and many people that you can’t see clearly. So, listen to your parents and don’t associate with Lilian in the future.”
“Why?”
Rachel was even more upset, “I’ve been getting along so well with Lilian for the past six months, she’s my best friend at school. And now, just because of Ira, I have to cut ties with her?”
“Yes, cut off contact,” Merlin’s face darkened again, “That Lilian and her parents, they are not good people.”
Although Rachel grew up being spoiled by her family, she was still afraid of her father, Merlin, especially when he had a stern expression.
She immediately dared not argue anymore, just looked at Valeria with tears in her eyes, seeking her help.
“Rach, your dad is right. Lilian and her parents are not good people. You shouldn’t have any contact with them,” Valeria also said.
“Mom, who exactly is Iris to you guys? Why are you all protecting her like this?” Rachel asked again, feeling extremely aggrieved.
“What kind of person is Ira? She’s just like you. Your mom and I treat her as our daughter. In the future, she will be like your real sister. You need to learn to respect and care for her, instead of being influenced by others to make things difficult for her,” Merlin continued sternly with a serious face.

“We didn’t give Ira a hard time…” Rachel’s tears kept falling, “We just called Lilian’s parents…”
“Was that a call to Lilian’s parents, or was it clearly meant for Heriberto?”
Seeing Rachel still being so stubborn, Merlin’s voice became more serious, “Do you know who Heriberto is?”
“You know, can’t Ira’s ex–husband just stay away?” Rachel complained.
“Yeah, Heriberto was a jerk, he didn’t deserve to see Ira again,” suddenly, Zayden’s voice chimed in.
“Zayden, you suck!” Rachel cried even harder when she saw Zayden, stomping her feet in anger.
Zayden walked over, took a deep breath to calm his face, and said to Rach, “Rach, Ira treats you like a sister, just like me. Just because she doesn’t argue with you doesn’t mean you’re right. If you don’t listen to me and your parents in the future, and let others provoke you to make trouble for Ira, I won’t just send you back like today.”
“You guys…”
Rachel looked at her family in front of her and suddenly felt very
strange.
She stood up abruptly and yelled, “Since you all like Iris so much and support her, then just consider her as your daughter, and don’t bother with me anymore.”
After roaring, she stomped up the stairs and ran away.

Zeke and Bella to fly to Morameca in Pusmia.
Except for Rachel, the Knighton family went to see her off.
“How’s Rach? Is she still mad?” Iris asked with concern, not seeing Rach.
“Rach was spoiled by us, it’s hard to tell if it’s good or bad.” Valeria held Iris’s hand, “Iris, Rach will be back to school in a couple of days. Why don’t you stay in Beachdell for a few more days? You haven’t finished your confinement month yet.”
Iris shook her head with a smile, “Valeria, it’s not about Rach, it’s just that I wanted to get familiar with the surroundings earlier. After I leave, you can comfort Rach. She was really scared by Zayden yesterday.”
Zayden stood on the side and touched his nose.
Valeria gave Zeke and Bella another hug, then, with Merlin, watched the three of them get in the car and leave.
Zayden also got on the car and personally took the mother and her two sons to Morameca.
Iris didn’t want to, but he insisted, and Merlin was also worried, so he made Zayden go.
In a grand procession, a total of eight cars drove out of the villa and headed towards the airport.
