Chapter 221 Attending His Engagement Banquet as His Sister

Standing at the doorway was Colette, the person Peyton used to think about day and night, but now even a glance at her would hurt his heart.

Peyton thought, “Nolan got engaged, and all the people I don’t want to

see came.”

“Peytie, Mom said five minutes.”

“I didn’t even want to listen for five seconds,” Peyton said coldly

The neighbor next door opened the door to come out, Peyton didn’t want to be pointed and stared at, so she had to open the door first. Colette followed her inside.

This was the first time Colette came to Peyton’s place after returning to her home country.

If it were in the past, Peyton would have definitely warmly welcomed Colette. However, today Peyton did not do so. She coldly changed her shoes and sipped on a glass of warm water to soothe her throat.

“Speak.”

Colette looked around and realized that this apartment was not big, she could see it all at a glance. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“Peytie, I heard Helena say that she specifically bought the Schmitt’s house for you. Why don’t you move back? This place is so small, how can it be enough to live in?”

Peyton put down the water cup. There were too many things in this

sentence that made her angry, and for a moment, she didn’t know where to start complaining.

“You have always lived a life of luxury, living in mansions, wearing designer clothes, and driving luxury cars since you were young. In your eyes, a small apartment or a rescue station is the same. You are not me, how could you know what I have been through?”

Colette quickly came up and took her hand. “Peytie, although the Schmitt’s family is not a top–tier wealthy family, they have always provided for you since you were little. Mom didn’t know that the Schmitt’s family would go bankrupt. If I had known earlier, I would have definitely brought you by my side.”

Peyton quickly withdrew her hand, knowing that Colette, who had never experienced hardship, would never understand no matter what she said.

“Don’t pretend. Spit it out, what did you come here for today? Let me guess, is it something to do with Helena?”

It is quite sad to say that every time Peyton’s mother came to see her, it was always about her stepdaughter’s matters.

Colette was not someone who would conceal her emotions, a hint of unease flashed across her face.

“Mom came to apologize for the last incident, and I know I was a bit out of line. But you also have to consider Mom’s perspective. To be honest with you, ever since I married Elbert, even though he has been good to me, Helena has never accepted me as her mother, and even Jimmy doesn’t like me. Mom has been having a tough time in that household.”

Colette sighed and continued, “I wasn’t being selfish. You and Nolan had already divorced, and continuing to entangle with each other was

not good for your reputation. By doing this, I helped Helena, she won’t

pick on me anymore, and I also helped you. You’re still young, you will meet better people in the future, and you need to completely break free from your past emotions.”

Peyton thought, “Isn’t this selfish? She almost had the word ‘selfish‘ engraved on her forehead.”

Peyton burst into laughter, “So, in order to secure your so–called happiness and establish yourself in that household, you chose to sacrifice your own daughter’s reputation. Well done.”

“Peytie, you were young and didn’t understand the difficulties I faced. I was doing it for your own good too. You lost Nolan, but you gained the Chase family. The Chase family has a wide network, and they can help you with whatever you want to do in the future.”

“So should I still thank you?”

Colette didn’t catch her sarcasm. “If you spend more time with Elbert, you’ll know he’s a really good person. Peytie, he genuinely wants to be your dad.”

Peyton pressed her stomach, and Colette continued speaking when she saw her silence.

“The Chase family welcomes your arrival. Tomorrow is Helena and Nolan’s engagement banquet, and they would like you to attend as her sister to bless them, okay?”
