"Why would she do such a thing?" Penelope whispered, her voice trembling with disbelief.
"I'm not sure either, Penelope, but she wanted to get rid of you. The Durham and Oliver families had a long history together, and they agreed to unify their families by arranging Rachel's marriage to Lance Oliver. Rachel was raised overseas and didn't grow up here. She was used to being spoiled and getting what she wanted, no matter the cost." Raven replied, his eyes dark with concern.
"This is why you must be extra vigilant with her, Penelope." He continued, "She was able to pin the blame of Amanda Oliver's accident on you, and I fear what else she might try to do. Her older brother is alson't someone we can easily offend. Now that Everett Durham took over the management of their group of companies, it's only normal for Rachel to act arrogantly."
