Merlin heard a voice, walked over, and when he saw the girl at a glance, his brow couldn’t help but furrow slightly.
Rachel lifted her head from Valeria’s arms, let go of her, turned around to the girl, grinned and introduced, “Dad, mom, Zayden, this is my classmate Lilian Aguilera.”
She said, hugging Lilian’s arm and looking at her, then added, “Lilian is my best friend at school, she lives in Stroland, a bit far away, so she came back to celebrate the New Year with me.”
“Hello Sir Knighton, Madam Knighton, Zayden!” Lilian snapped out of her surprise, and quickly returned to her sweet and obedient demeanor, softly calling out to them.
“Hey, you must be Iris!”
Rachel was being protected too well by her family, looking innocent and naive. She noticed Iris next to Zayden, let go of Lilian and ran over, then hugged Iris’s arm, looking her up and down:
“Yeah, Rach, it’s me, Iris. Finally met you, so happy!” Iris also looked at Rach, with a gentle and bright smile.

“Wow, Iris, you are so beautiful and gentle, even more beautiful and gentle than I imagined,” Rachel stared at her, couldn’t bea. away.
Iris in front of me had bright eyes, white skin like snow, features like a painting, and a smile that was as refreshing as a spring breeze.

over.
She glanced at Iris, then quickly looked down, not sure what to do next.
“Zack.” Merlin suddenly called out to the butler standing behind Lilian.
“Sir Knighton.” The butler immediately stepped forward.
Merlin instructed, “Take Lilian to Fairmont Hotel.”
The Fairmont Hotel was the best hotel in Beachdell.
As soon as he finished speaking, Valeria, Zayden, and Rachel all felt strange.
“Dad, I brought Lilian back to celebrate the New Year together. Why did you send her to the hotel? We have guest rooms at home, you know?” Rachel asked, looking quite puzzled.
Looking at Lilian’s appearance and hearing her name, Zayden already guessed. He immediately put on a stern face and said to Rach, “Rach, without your parents‘ permission, you can’t bring strangers home. Don’t you know this rule?”
“Lilian was my best friend, how could she be considered a stranger!” Rachel pouted, feeling indignant.
“Zack, just do it,” Merlin/said without hesitation.
“Yes, Sir Knighton.”
The butler nodded, turned and made a gesture of invitation to Lilian, “Ms. Aguilera, please.”
“Sir Knighton, Madam Knighton, I didn’t want to stay in a hotel.”

Lilian was staring at the Knighton family with puppy eyes, refusing to leave.
“Dad, Zayden, you can’t treat my good friend like this.”
Rachel pouted and then grabbed Valeria’s arm, “Mom, say something. I want Lilian to stay at home. If not, let Lilian share a room with me.”
“Ms. Aguilera, you didn’t want to go to the hotel, did you want to go back to school?”
Before Valeria could speak, Zayden looked at Lilian with a serious expression and spoke again.
Lilian looked at Zayden, pouting her mouth in a very pitiful way, and said, “Why can my sister be here, and I can’t be here? I am Rach’s best friend, you know?”
“What…what sister?” Rachel was stunned when she heard that.
She looked at Iris, then at Lilian, and suddenly realized, “Lilian, you said Iris is your sister?”
Valeria finally got it.
She and Zayden never met anyone else from the Aguilera family, only Merlin did, so it’s impossible to recognize Lilian as Iris’s sister at first sight.
Valeria knew very well how the Aguilera family treated Iris after they had their daughter Lilian.
Compared to Lilian, the youngest daughter, Iris can be said to be 100% adopted by the Aguilera family.
Valeria couldn’t control herself, and her face didn’t look good either.

Lilian nodded at Rachel. “Yeah, she’s my real sister.”
“Iris, why are you here instead of with Heriberto?” she asked Iris again. “Did he dump you?”
Iris looked at her younger sister in front of her, and couldn’t help but smile, with a mysterious smile.
She didn’t have any feelings for her sister Lilian, if you have to say, it can only be described in two words, that is “dislike.”
Since she was young, Lilian always had to snatch and grab anything that belonged to her.
If she didn’t give it, Lilian would cry, then her parents would scold her or even beat her, and then forcibly take her things away and give them to Lilian.
When her grandmother passed away, she left everything to her in a verbal will.
But her parents tampered with the will, saying it was all left to Lilian, because Lilian is also the Aguilera family’s granddaughter.
