Chapter 9 Change of Attitude Nancy looked at Raine with a smile that didn't reach her eyes . " Is that so ? Well , thanks . " " No worries . We're sisters , after all , " Raine replied softly . " Ah , I see . I thought you didn't like me . Why would your eyes be red as though you've suffered some great injustice ? " Nancy's calm reply drew everyone's attention to Raine . Indeed , the corners of Raine's eyes were slightly red . As everyone looked at her curiously , Raine quickly explained , " I'm just too delighted that Nancy's back . I'm definitely not upset . " " I hope so . " Nancy chuckled softly . Her chuckle was laced with meaning , leaving Raine feeling humiliated and resentful . Right then , Andrew spoke up . " We're a family from now on , and we should get along well . Nancy , here's a gift for you . " He handed over a bank card . Nancy was quite surprised , but after glancing at Martha , she understood immediately . Without hesitation , she accepted the bank card . " Thank you . " Andrew had been waiting for Nancy to call him " Dad " , but she never spoke the word . A flicker of displeasure crossed his heart . As expected , they couldn't get close because she didn't grow up in this family . By the end of the meal , everyone was wrapped up in their own thoughts . Andrew and his family waited until everyone had left . When they were alone , Regina quickly went to Martha and complained , " Martha , why did you bring her here without letting us know ? " Martha shot her an icy look . " Do I need your permission to do anything ? " Her strong presence made Regina fall silent . Right then , Raine spoke up , sounding aggrieved . " Grandma , Mom didn't mean it that way . It's just that Nancy destroyed my future . Ms. Jackson could've become my piano teacher . " Regina swallowed her anger . " Yes , she's gone too far ! She is petty and unsophisticated , without any class whatsoever ! " Yvette Jackson ? A flash of surprise crossed Martha's eyes , but her tone remained icy . " If Ms. Jackson really wanted to take you on as a student , why would she change her mind because of what someone else said ? What isn't yours will never be yours . " After saying that , she left with Nancy in tow . Furious , Raine stomped her feet . Regina was pretty irritated , too . However , Andrew said , " That's enough . Since she's back , both of you should treat her well . " " Darling , she's far too scheming , " Regina complained , her tone dripping with dislike for Nancy . Andrew looked at her . " Can't you see how much Mom trusts Nancy ? She still holds 50 % of the company shares . All these years , she has never hinted at who she'll give them to . " If Nancy gets those shares , it means they'll be ours , and we'll get absolute control of the company . ' Realization finally dawned on Regina . " That makes sense , but Raine will have to suffer . " She looked at Raine , feeling bad for her daughter . 11 For a moment , bad thoughts invaded Raine's heart , but she still wore an obedient smile . " Mom , I'll be fine . As long as our family can be better off , nothing else matters ! " " What a sensible girl. Don't worry , Raine . You'll still be our most beloved daughter , " Regina said , pulling Raine into a reassuring hug . Raine nodded with a smile , but an icy glint flashed across her gaze , She cursed silently , knowing all her father cared about was his interests . As she wasn't their biological daughter , it was natural that they didn't see her as their top priority . She could tolerate Nancy's return , but Nancy would have to pay the price for disrupting her chance to become Yvette's student ! Meanwhile , after Nancy followed Martha out , the latter asked , " Where are you living now ? Do you want to move in with your family ? " Nancy hesitated briefly but rejected , " Not for now . " " Right . You can move in later . " With her troublesome parents , Nancy wouldn't have an easy time after coming back . Thus , Martha instructed her driver to give Nancy a ride home . Chapter 9 Change of Attitude 2/2 Along the way , Martha asked , " Where do you live now ? Probably in an old neighborhood , right ? I have a house near your company . I'll have it transferred to your name tomorrow . " " Grandma , you don't have to , " Nancy declined . Martha didn't elaborate further , but she had decided to complete the name transfer the following day . Five minutes later, when Martha saw the luxurious neighborhood ahead , she could barely hide her surprise . " You live here ? "
