Mrs beltran and Johanna came downstairs when they heard that Mrs Torres was around. Mrs beltran was ready to give her a taste of her own medicine, but who would have thought that Mrs Torres didn't come here to cause any trouble or threaten Rachel to leave Chad.
Mrs beltran looked at Mrs Torres in the eyes and asked, "Mrs Torres, what exactly do you want to tell Rachel?" She was not ready to waste her time with people who knows nothing, but cause trouble for her daughter.
Mrs Torres sitted the coffee cup on the table and smiled, "I am here to help Rachel"
Everyone was confused by her word.
Help?
Who want her help?
"I want to help Rachel continue her education abroad. I know you guys won't believe me, but I have regretted everything I have done to Rachel. I was blinded by my hatred for Rachel that i didn't see that she was a good person all along. Because of her, my son, Chad has changed totally"
Everyone was flabbergasted.
Rachel was stunned. Is this Mrs Torres or is she dreaming?
Maybe she is dreaming and she needed to wake up immediately or... Maybe she is going crazy. Rachel slapped her cheeks twice.
"Uh... What... What did you say?" Rachel could not believe what she had heard.
"I have made up my mind, you are the special one for my son and no one can change that. I am just so stupid for trying to separate the both of you" Mrs Torres said and cupped Rachel's hand. "I want to help you. I want you to leave the country to study abroad. If you want to marry my son, you will have to be successful. If you leave the country and study abroad, people won't look down on you anymore"
Like in a trance, Rachel's mouth formed an 'O'. It was just as if she was dreaming. Ah, who would have thought that this Mrs Torres who disliked her would love her overnight.
Rachel could not help, but smile inwardly.
"Mother, are you really going to help me?" Rachel asked to be sure of what she just heard.
Mrs Torres nodded. "Yes, I want to help you, but... You must not tell Chad anything. If he knows that you are leaving the country, he won't let you go. You know how much Chad loves you, right?"
Rachel nodded in agreement to that. It's true that Chad won't want her to leave the country.
Mrs Torres added. "Rachel, I don't want this opportunity to slip through your hands. Chad would be so proud of you and your family will also" she said and looked around the house. "You know, before, Chad doesn't keep any secrets from me, but ever since I started trying to separate you both, he doesn't tell me anything anymore. I feel as though I am a bad mother"
Mrs Torres was surprised when she heard that her son bought a house for Rachel's family. He even gave them bodyguards, maids and drivers. She even heard that he was also giving half of his salary to Rachel's mother which she refused at first, but he insisted.
Who is this Rachel?
Rachel is a poor farm worker. She is not that educated and she is not as beautiful as Mina, but why? What did she do to deserve all this from Chad. Why not Mina? Why not any other girls?
Will Rachel accept Mrs Torres offer?
At the Torres mansion.
Chad has been trying his mother's number, but couldn't get through. He thought, where did she go?
He picked up his suit jacket, put It on and as he was about to leave the room, his phone rang. He picked It up.
"Yes?"
"Sir, I just called to remind you about the meeting you have today with the investors coming from China and it remains thirty minutes before the meeting starts. Where are you, sir?"
"I am on my way to the company" Chad answered as he walked down the stairs.
"Okay sir" joy said and hung up the phone.
"Young master, the car is waiting for you outside" a young maid reported and bowed.
"Got it. Where did my mom go?"
"Young master, no one knows. She didn't tell us where she was going to this morning. She just left with the driver"
Chad frowned. "When she comes back, tell her that I have been trying her number, okay?"
The Maid nodded. "Yes, young master"
Chad turned to leave, but the maid stopped him. "Young master, you have not eaten breakfast. Should I..."
"Never mind" Chad glanced at his wristwatch. "I am late for work already. Don't forget what I told you to do, okay?" he said and left the house.
Mina was on top of the stairs listening to their conversation. She clenched her jaw and her face turned red with anger. Chad seems to be in a good mood this morning and she has been standing there waiting for Chad to look up and see her, but he didn't even give her a single glance.
It's true what Rachel said, Chad doesn't care about her. They might be living in the same house, but he doesn't seems to know whether she is living with him. Every time, she would look at her reflection in the mirror and ask herself what Rachel has that she doesn't have. Is it beauty? Everyone knows that Mina is more beautiful that Rachel, but why didn't he see that?
Almost all the boys in her school are trying to Woo her, but she rejected all of them because of Chad. She was hoping that one day, Chad would notice her. She walked into her room, undress and walked into the bathroom. After bathing, she put in a red off shoulder blouse and a blue jean with a black knee boots. She applied makeup and left the room with her things.
In the Mercedes-Benz.
Analyn looked at Mina and asked, "Now that that bitch is not here anymore, what's your plan?"
Analyn and Darna knew it was because Rachel was living with them, that's why Mina didn't do anything to get Chad, but now that Rachel has left, Mina can think of something good to snatch Chad from Rachel.
Mina looked out of the window and said in a very low voice. "I don't know"
Analyn and Darna were shocked.
"What? You don't have any plans?" Darna asked. "Or are you scared of Rachel? Do you think she will do what she said. Who is she? Nothing"
This is not their friend, Mina. Mina is a girl who is never scared of anybody and of doing something. She is strong and courageous, not a coward.
Mina looked at them. "I don't just have any plans"
Maybe she was getting tried of hoping that Chad would look at her someday.
"You have to" Analyn said. "This might be your last opportunity who knows"
Mina looked out of the window and did not respond. This might be her last opportunity and she must not give up yet. Chad has been her dream and she can't just give him to anybody. She would definitely fight for him. She would get what rightfully hers. Just wait Rachel, she thought.
Her lips curled into a smile as she turned to look at her worried friends. "I know I should not give up yet. Don't worry, I will definitely look for a way to get Chad"
Analyn let out a relief sigh and smiled, "Go girl, that's the spirit"
