Love Together, Be With You Never novel Chapter 77

Ever since I was a little girl, I hadn't had my own room in the Cornell's and I always slept in the dirty and dark attic. However, Emmalee always paid visits here, so she was more like the other daughter of Marvin. And each time she came, she would be treated as well as Alicia.

"Dad, if I sleep in that room, where will Emmalee sleep?" I shouted.

"What do you mean you'll sleep in that room? I'll sleep there, and you'll go back to your attic." Emmalee was assertive and loud.

Darting an astonishing look at Marvin, I asked, "Dad, is she right? But Kieran is a clean freak. If someone sleeps in that room, I guess, Kieran will never step a foot in it."

"Of course you'll sleep in that room. Emmalee, go and rest in the guest room in the west." Marvin replied immediately.

"Uncle." Emmalee grumbled, not knowing the situation.

"It's settled." Marvin turned around and left, not giving Emmalee the chance to speak.

Going upstairs slowly, I brushed past Emmalee and Alicia. I stopped on the staircase above them, saying, "I'm a member of the family and you're merely a guest. Without my permission, you'll never get what you want in this house. Alicia, am I right?"

I continued to go upstairs with a smile before Alicia replied.

"Rachael, wait and see." Emmalee shouted in rage behind me, which I didn't care at all.

Late at night.

When I walked out of my bedroom, I saw Emmalee sitting on a bench in the garden with resentment. Seeing me, Emmalee looked like a provoked hedgehog. She stood up right the second and said, "What are you doing here?"

I slowly walked to the bench opposite her and sat down. I looked up at the moon in the sky. The moon looked especially bright tonight without being covered by any cloud and mist.

"What the hell are you gonna do?" Emmalee gave me a hostile glare.

Forcing a sneer, I looked up at her with my staring eyes, "Emmalee, if you want to get something from the Cornell family or Alicia, you'd better one thing. You'll get what you want only when the Cornell family or Alicia is willing to give you the chance. Otherwise, you'll get nothing, even if you are acting like a loyal hanger-on."

"What do you mean?" Rushing over with a blaze of anger, Emmalee was about to slap me in the face.

I looked up, staring into her, "Am I wrong?"

Emmalee's eyes were burning with rage, but she didn't do it to me in the end. Although Emmalee was ignorant and didn't know about sizing up the situation, she wasn't a fool anyway. Anyone would sense something if being humiliated like yesterday and being treated differently like today. So, she wouldn't get a good sleep tonight.

"Rachael, what on earth do you mean?" Emmalee darted a vigilant look at me.

I relaxed my hands to support my back, saying, "Since you're being such a loyal hanger-on of Alicia, what do you think you'll get from her? A bright future or a good man?"

"Good night. I'll go back to sleep." I stood up and left before Emmalee could say something. 'What Emmalee will say doesn't matter at all, but I can really take advantage of her.' I thought to myself. I went back to my room with a faint smile on my face. And I did have a nice sleep.

The next day, I woke up as dawn broke. When I went downstairs, Alicia and Emmalee were sitting together and having their breakfast. And Emmalee was courteously fawning on Alicia while Alicia only accepted it with a smile on her face as well as a glitter of superiority and arrogance in her eyes.

"Alicia, look, Marlon and you will get engaged on Saturday, so we'll be a family soon. Marlon is so powerful. Could you mention the Paris fashion show to Marlon? I believe I can go to the show as long as Marlon pulls the strings." Emmalee flattered Alicia without sounding too forward.
