Chapter 2400
"Rae, I'll send you upstairs. It's the weekend tomorrow so you should have a good rest. I'll call you after the banquet. I've arranged for Ryder and his companions to apply for the jobs. Someone will take them there so you don't have to worry."
Raelynn looked at him and said gratefully, "You're always so thoughtful. I don't have anything to worry about."
He smiled and got out of the car to help her carry her things. After the incident with James, Raelynn's mother, Malia, also knew about their relationship, so Kenneth could go there openly now.
After Kenneth brought the things, Raelynn also got out of the car. The two of them went upstairs together, but they did not notice two sneaky figures in the distance.
When they entered the door, Ryder and Malia were both home.
Seeing her daughter and Kenneth come back with bags in their hands, Malia looked at them with a complicated expression.
She had been really worried about Raelynn.
"Auntie, nice to meet you!" Kenneth greeted her respectfully.
Malia smiled and said, "Hello, have a seat first."
"Raelynn, Mr. Alwynn, are you alright?" Although Ryder knew that his sister was fine, he still couldn't help but worry.
Raelynn shook her head and smiled. "Ryder, Mom, don't worry. We're all fine."
The wound on her neck was almost healed because of the medicine she used.
They talked about what happened the night before. What Raelynn didn't know was that the Edwards family had gone bankrupt.
It was only then that she realized that Kenneth could really make the Edwards family's company close down overnight.
Kenneth looked at her and asked, "Did they close down?"
Raelynn asked, "Are the Edwards family in debt?"
Kenneth shook his head slightly. "I don't know. There's too much evidence against James that even the police can't handle it. Also, the Martin family, whom you went to find, have also provided evidence because they heard of James' arrest. He may be severely punished. As for the Edwards family, I didn't do anything. It's easy for people like them who only care about profit to break the law. As long as the evidence is found, they can easily be taken down."
He was a genius in this aspect, and it was just a matter of moving his fingers.
Raelynn was a little worried. If her adoptive parents knew that this matter had something to do with her, they would definitely not let her go. With their characters, they would only constantly harass her.
Wouldn't that greatly affect her life?
Kenneth seemed to have seen through her worries, and he reassured her, "James is now a stray dog and they can't make any big waves. I'm afraid that they will come to harass you, but I've already sent someone to monitor their every move. Rae, you don't have to worry."
Raelynn didn't know what to say. She was very worried.
That was because the Edwards family had no bottom line.
The most terrible thing for a person was to meet someone who was unreasonable or who had no bottom line.
After Kenneth told Ryder about the job application, he left.
He went downstairs and answered a phone call. Then, he walked to the alley behind the community with a gloomy expression on his face.
The lights in the old neighborhood were very dim. The evening breeze blew, and there were shadows everywhere.
The two people hiding in the alley were the couple of the Edwards family.
Seeing Kenneth walking towards them, the couple was filled with hatred and anger.
It was because of Kenneth that their son was sent to prison. Their family's villa was sealed, their family went bankrupt and was in debt. Now, they could only sleep on the streets. Those were all caused by the man in front of them. They stepped forward angrily.
Mr. Edwards shouted fiercely, "Kenneth, how dare you destroy my Edwards family? Now, you dare to appear in front of me. I order you to take away your so-called evidence immediately. I am also Rae's father. You have ruined our Edwards family like this and still want to marry Rae? Dream on."
Kenneth looked at him and felt that it was ridiculous. "When you abandoned her, why didn't you say that she was your daughter? Now that something has happened, you regard her as your daughter."
The look on Mr. Edwards' face was ghastly. He seemed to have aged a few years overnight.
"That's because she is not our biological daughter, but we have also raised her for more than 20 years. Raising her is equivalent to giving birth to her. A father for a day is a father for a lifetime, so I will always be her father."
Kenneth looked at him with a sharp gaze. "I don't want to hear this again; it only insults Rae. If you dare to make trouble for her again, I will make sure that James will be unable to come out for the rest of his life."
Mr. and Mrs. Edwards' hearts tightened when they heard that.
They didn't dare to move anymore and just stood there rooted to the spot.
They didn't care about anything else. What they cared about most was the fate of the Edwards family.
The couple then left silently.
Kenneth watched them leave before he turned around and walked away.
On the second floor, Raelynn looked at her mother who seemed to have something to say. She was so tired but she did not go back to her room.
She knew that Malia was worried and afraid that she would be hurt.
However, despite looking at Raelynn several times, her mother did not speak.
The lights in the living room were very bright, and her mother was much more energetic than when she lived in the rental apartment.
"Mom, do you have something to tell me?" Raelynn knew that her mother knew it and Ryder would not hide it from her.
Malia nodded and spoke out her worries. "Rae, I'm worried that you'll get hurt. He's from a rich and powerful family. They may seem to be peaceful, but in fact, there are many bloody fights in those types of families."
Raelynn had also thought about this kind of problem. She had grown up in that kind of environment since she was a child. For example, for the Edwards family, it was necessary for them to find a son and a daughter-in-law whose family backgrounds were helpful to their family business. Otherwise, they could not get married and join the Edwards family.
"Mom, don't worry. The Alwynn family is not that kind of family. Their family is harmonious, and their parents are reasonable people." Raelynn could still feel it.
Malia knew the story of the couple of Alwynn Group. The story was touching, and the couple was said to really love each other.
She believed that their son would also be a real gentleman. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
"Rae, since you've made your choice, I won't stop you. I just want you to be happy."
No one could predict what would happen in the future.
Just like her, she once felt that she would have a beautiful future and could live happily with her family, but in the end, that person still failed her.
The children had been switched. She raised the two children alone and left her hometown. It was a really bitter and difficult life.
Malia was not afraid of suffering, but she was afraid that her children would suffer the same pain as she did. Them taking the same road as she did was something she never wanted to see in her life.
"Mom, thank you. Don't worry, I will be happy. Kenneth is very kind to me. Although I haven't known him for a long time, I can feel his kindness. I want to be with him." Raelynn wouldn't have said that before, but after that day's incident, she felt that she really fell in love with him.
As soon as she finished speaking, her mobile phone on the sofa rang. She picked it up and saw a familiar number. Her face suddenly turned as pale as snow.
