Stronger Every Time I Die

Chapter 464 Staying or Leaving?

Raelynn lowered her head, no one knew what she was thinking. But she didn't show the slightest intention of wanting to stay. Among the four, Rosie was the only one whose face showed a trace of joy. Looking at the angry Susie, Rosie tried to comfort her. "At least now we have a place to stay. We don't have to live off others anymore." Rosie looked into the distance while imagining a better future. "I'll start job hunting tomorrow. Let's all work hard together. I believe our lives will get better and better." Rosie was full of confidence about the future. They were not cripple. She believed that as long as they worked hard, they wouldn't starve. Although what had happened before might have damaged their reputation, at this point, they had no other choice. Rosie had truly had enough of living under the Yarbrough family's roof. She didn't want to stay in that house even one more day. Rosie saw the looks from the Yarbroughs and their servants every single time. She was born into a wealthy family too. Although not as rich as the Yarbrough family, she had always been admired by many. When had she ever been treated that way? But unfortunately, they had nowhere else to go. She had to pretend she didn't notice and swallow all that humiliation. Among the four, Rosie was the only one who was truly clearheaded. Hearing Rosie's words, the other three's eyes flickered. But for a moment, not one of them responded. Rosie looked at them in confusion. "What's wrong? Don't you wanna stay here?" As soon as she said that, the living room became even quieter. The three of them avoided eye contact with Rosie. She had a bad feeling. She cautiously asked, "Don't tell me you wanna go back to the Yarbrough Residence?" When she asked this, she was frowning. They all knew how the Yarbrough family treated them. Rosie was probably treated the best among them at the Yarbrough family home. Especially Xylia and Zane's wife… Their treatment of Raelynn, Julie, and Susie was just straight-up hostile. The servants were very good at reading the room. The rolling eyes and cold treatment they gave to the three were clearly much worse than what Rosie had experienced. Rosie didn't believe they hadn't noticed. She had seen firsthand their awkward position in the Yarbrough Residence. Now that they could finally return to the Gray Residence, Rosie couldn't understand what there was to hesitate about. Even though Raelynn was already divorced from John, they still carried the Gray surname. They were still part of the Gray family. Even if Arthur had cut ties with them, the fact that he had now allowed them to stay meant he definitely wouldn't go back on his word. This mansion was still in the hands of the Gray family. They had all grown up here. Now that John was gone, couldn't they just settle down and live here for now and figure things out later?Faced with Rosie's question, Raelynn and the others fell even more silent. After a long pause, Susie finally couldn't help but speak. "What kind of future could we have staying here? We have nothing left. Even finding a good marriage in the future is going to be nearly impossible." As she said that, Susie blushed a little. The doctor had told her that her fertility had fully returned to normal. Susie had grown up in a wealthy household, always the center of attention. With her beautiful looks, she had never lacked pursuers. She had always been proud and ambitious. With all her advantages, she believed she deserved to marry into a powerful and influential family. That was the only way to ensure she could live her life high and above everyone else. And Maris, who was about her age and the youngest son of the Yarbrough family, was clearly her best option. She knew about Stephen and Julie. Every time she saw them exchanging glances and stolen smiles, Susie couldn't help but feel envious. She thought, if Julie could marry Stephen and she could marry Maris, then wouldn't the entire Yarbrough family be in the hands of the two sisters? With both of them in the Yarbrough family, they could watch out for each other. Once she became the Yarbrough family's lady, she'd like to see whether those servants would still dare to roll their eyes at her. Would they still look down on her? Right now, Maris was still ignoring her, but Susie believed that with her looks, if she just took the initiative a little, Maris would eventually fall for her. After all, what man didn't like beautiful and gentle women? If things went the way Rosie said, if they had to rely solely on themselves to find work and survive, then their entire lives would be ruined.
