    Chapter 8 Justice for the Children Who Lost Their Lives


    Numerous gazes fell on Tiana as soon as those words left her mouth.


    Even amongst the many eyes on her, she could instantly tell who the most piercing pair had belonged


    to—Elizabeth. Her scrutinizing gaze was full of dissatisfaction as she stared at Tiana. From the looks of


    it, the only reason why Tiana hadn’t been whipped by Elizabeth’s cane was because they weren’t alone


    at the moment.


    Tiana unwillingly took a step back as she gulped. However, she stepped on her son, who was on the


    floor, instead of the ground. The child then immediately burst into tears and started to wail at the top of


    his lungs.


    Seeing her son cry, she pped the boy across his cheek. “What are you crying for? Did someone


    die?” she impatiently hissed.


    Five-year-old Theodore Ashe only sobbed harder at that. Brokenhearted, he cried, “Momma, you


    meanie! Momma is a poo-poo head! I don’t like Momma anymore!”


    Tiana was already in a foul mood to begin with, but it worsened when he started giving her a hard time.


    It made her so infuriated that she itched to send another p his way.


    The mood in the living room gradually dampened as the two of them argued between themselves.


    Elizabeth’s face had fallen after spectating the interaction between the mother and son. “Come with me


    to the study room after you sign the agreement, Rae,” she suddenly said to Rachel, who only nodded in


    response.


    After leaving her signature on the document, she slightly bent toward her son and instructed, “Casper,


    can you take care of Olive while I’m gone? I will be back in a jiffy.”


    “Leave Olive to me!” Casper announced with a grin. “Trust me, Mommy!”


    And trusted her son, she did.


    Casper had always been his baby sister’s protector ever since he grew into a sensible little adult two


    years ago.


    There were a lot of things that she couldn’t afford to concern herself with when she worked abroad.


    Whenever Rachel had to head off to work in the morning, Casper was the one who took care of Olivia.


    The child had already learned how to be an older brother to his younger sister at only four years old.


    Rachel then followed after Elizabeth, and as soon as they were in the study room, she held Rachel by


    the hands and let out a long sigh. “I know it has been hard on you these past four years. I had always


    thought that you ran away from home out of spite. If only I had known the truth four years ago… I didn’t


    think that useless Francis would lock you up for eight whole months! Rae, the shares that were


    rightfully yours had all been transferred to your stepsister, Shirley after the Yates announced your


    death. Now that you are back, it is about time they return it to you!”


    Carefully leaning against Elizabeth’s thigh, Rachel couldn’t help but notice how lovingly the older


    woman treated her—both now and when she was younger.


    That had been one of the reasons why Rachel brought Olivia back to her home country since she


    wanted Olivia to receive love from more people.


    Rachel earnestly hoped Elizabeth would care for her child as much as she did Rachel…


    “Grandma,” she answered gently. “I don’t want you to have to worry about something like this at eighty-


    three years old. Rest assured, I no longer am the naive young miss I once was. I want to fight for


    justice for the two innocent children who lost their lives. And for myself too… I want the justice we


    deserve.”


    As she spoke, she could almost see it happening all over again.


    It had been a horrible day when she discovered the lifeless bodies of both her first and second son


    lying on the cold ground of the storehouse.


    The children, with their faces purple from theck of oxygen, had quietly passed away and she didn’t


    even know where their bodies were buried…


    At the thought of that, Rachel’s eyes were already wet with tears.


    “Rae, my dear, that is all in the past now. Don’t cry…” Elizabeth patted her on the back. “Since you are


    here at the Sinir Residence, treat this as your own ce and have a proper rest.”


    Rachel wordlessly nodded at that.


    Despite John being the head of the Sinir Residence, Elizabeth was the one who wore the pants in


    the family. Rachel wouldn’t have to worry about her stay as long as Elizabeth weed her.


    Of course, she didn’t intend to stay there without repaying the Sinirs. With the chip that she had


    developed, the Sinirs would definitely be able to further improve their reputation.


    She didn’t have to feel guilty about staying with the Sinirs if she had something of equal value to


    give back to them.


    As they chatted, they were interrupted by a sudden wailing from outside the room.


    “Is Theodore crying again?” Elizabeth asked, a frown appearing on her face.


    Theodore, Tiana’s son, was someone who would always cause amotion everytime he and his


    mother returned to Elizabeth’s ce.


    Thinking that it was Theodore, Elizabeth couldn’t be bothered with it and she continued to talk to


    Rachel.


    Rachel, however, had a bad feeling about it.


    She immediately went to the door and yanked it open to have aplete view of the living room. Tiana


    was standing in front of Olivia with a raised hand.


    Olivia, on the other hand, was unaware of the iing p. She only stood there with a nk look on


    her face.


    “Stop!” Rachel angrily shouted while dashing toward them.


    Upon hearing her cousin’s voice, Tiana squinted as she swung her hand with even more force.


    Tiana had always despised Rachel. It didn’t make sense that someone who was not a part of the


    Sinirs had grown up enjoying the privileges only the family had whereas Tiana, the true Young Lady


    of the Sinir Family, had all the attention robbed off her by Rachel.


    Tiana’s hatred for Rachel was finally redeemed when Rachel had her unmorous photos sshed on


    every corner of Seaview City after going to bed with a random man.


    The cherry on top was when Rachel gave birth to the little b*stard and eventer attempted suicide by


    lighting herself on fire.


    That was exactly why she never thought Rachel would evere back alive.


    And to make matters worse, the first thing Rachel had to do after returning was to pick a bone with her!This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Huh! Tiana huffed. Does she think that just because I can’t do anything to her, I won’ty my hand on


    the kid?


    With that thought in mind, her palm soon made contact with Olivia’s cheek.
