It was clear that Peter was nothing but a pawn to Evelyn.
All she needed was an underdog who was in need of money, not someone smart.
People would go to extreme lengths for the sake of money, and she was prepared to lure him with money.
This was the ugly truth of today's materialistic society. As long as she could achieve her own goals, she didn't care about anything else.
After an entire day of strategizing, Evelyn felt hungry, so she went to a nearby cafe to grab a coffee and headed to a restaurant for dinner.
However, she bumped into someone unexpected at the cafe.
"Mom, what are you doing here?" she asked when she saw Rachel sipping on a cup of mocha.
Evelyn was absolutely stunned. Since when did my mother become so sophisticated?
As Rachel lifted her cup of coffee, it seemed that her complexion had improved tremendously. She was not pale like what she looked like this morning.
More importantly, she was wearing a branded suit and every gesture she made was simply elegant.
Evelyn called out to her, but she didn't seem to notice, so she called out louder the second time.
"Mom." She took a seat in front of the lady and smiled at her.
However, the lady did not acknowledge Evelyn, but instead raised her head and said, "I'm sorry Miss. I
think you got the wrong person."
Right after that, she placed some money on the table and left.
Evelyn was left sitting at the table dumbfounded.
Wasn't that my mother? If she's not Mom, then who is she? Why does she look so much like Mom?
She pondered over these questions for a long time, but she simply couldn't figure it out.
All she could do was go home and ask if Rachel had a twin sister.
That lady looked quite rich. If she is somewhat related to my mother, maybe I could use her help one day.
When this thought crossed her mind, she finally left and went home happily.
