Chapter 836: 251: As simple as crushing an ant! _3
Rachel Barton was no exception.
“You heard it right,” Flora Tiarks turned her head to Diana Hershey, “but my uncle said we have to prepare our own ingredients. He’s only providing the space, the barbecue grill, and the charcoal.”
Diana Hershey laughed, “I knew it, there’s no such thing as free lunch.”
Flora Tiarks continued, “So, do you guys want to go? Today is actually a good day for a barbecue.”
Diana Hershey said, “I have no problem.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she continued, “What about you, Vio, Fiona, and Rachel?”
Viola Thompson replied, “I’m fine with it.”
Ethan Viper raised his hands, “Sister Diana, why didn’t you ask me?”
Diana Hershey laughed at Ethan Viper, “Little Viper, what about you?”
Ethan Viper excitedly said, “I love barbecues the most! Let’s go!”
Fiona Knight added, “I haven’t had a barbecue in a long time.”
Rachel Barton, who was most eager to go, naturally wouldn’t refuse. She went on to say, “I know a fresh produce supermarket nearby. How about we go there to buy some ingredients?”
“Then Rachel, you lead the way.” said Flora Tiarks.
Rachel Barton walked in front.
Feeling a bit excited.
After all, she was soon going to her favorite place.
The feeling was wonderful.
Especially when thinking about some details of the interactions she had with Mr. White.
She always felt that Mr. White must like her.
Even if he didn’t like her, he should at least have a good impression of her.
Rachel Barton’s heart started to beat very quickly.
One beat after another.
The group went to a fresh produce supermarket and bought a lot of ingredients.
An hour later, a commercial vehicle stopped in front of the White Family Mansion.
It was an old and majestic courtyard house.
It had a history of over a hundred years.
Over these one hundred years, it had experienced countless trials and tribulations.
Just as the group got out of the car.
The housekeeper of the White family walked over, “Miss Tiarks, you guys are here.”
“Housekeeper,” Flora Tiarks continued, “these are all my good friends, my uncle said we could have a DIY barbecue here, where is he?”
The housekeeper replied: “Sir is waiting for you in the garden.”
“Alright.” Flora Tiarks nodded, leading everyone in.
The White Family Mansion was very large, occupying about twenty acres.
Shock filled Rachel Barton’s eyes.
This level of surprise was even on par with her first visit to the Thompson Family Manor.
Although she was prepared for Mr. White not being an ordinary person.
Still, when she actually arrived at the White Family Mansion, she was shocked.
Capital City had an extremely high land value.
The average property would cost around 100,000 dollars per square meter. Therefore, many people could not afford to buy a house in Capital City in their lifetime.
Yet, the White family had a mansion here.
Leaving aside its historical value, if you were to price the house at 100,000 dollars per square meter, it would be worth a significant fortune.
The farther Rachel Barton walked into the mansion, the more surprised she felt.
She then looked at Viola Thompson.
She was calm and didn’t bother to look around.
Rachel Barton felt a little upset.
She felt her reaction was too overblown.
She was like a joker who had never been exposed to the world, behaving with excessive surprise over everything she encountered.
She should learn from Viola Thompson.
To be calm in every situation.
With this in mind, Rachel Barton took a deep breath and restrained from looking around.
At that moment, Diana Hershey exclaimed, “Little Flora, your uncle’s family must own a mine, right?”
Given Mr. White’s usual frugality, she had assumed that he was just middle-class at most.
Her perspective was too narrow.
Flora Tiarks said with a smile: “My grandfather’s ancestors were all high-ranking officials, and this mansion was passed down.”
“What about your grandmother?” Diana Hershey asked curiously.
“My grandmother is from the south. Her family used to be the wealthiest family in the south. My grandmother’s mother used to be a respected lady.”
Diana Hershey nodded, “No wonder.”
No wonder the White family was so wealthy.
There were reasons for this. When two such outstanding individuals get together and have kids, they naturally wouldn’t turn out too bad.
Hearing this, Rachel Barton sighed slightly in her heart, feeling increasingly unworthy of Mr. White.
The White family truly represented an intellectual and cultured family.
Whether it was Mr. White’s ancestors or the lineage of Mr. White’s mother, they all belonged to knowledgeable and well-mannered families.
Her birth mother was a crude, rural woman who would resort to any means for her goals, even selling her own daughter.
And her biological father?
He was devoid of any masculine courage, a man of absolutely no moral character.
Rachel Barton wished she could find a crack in the ground to burrow into. She felt unworthy of being in the White family’s house.
But then she thought, there was no hierarchy in love.
As long as she and Mr. White genuinely loved each other, they could overcome any obstacle.
Rachel Barton narrowed her eyes.
