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, âNolan got engaged, and all the people I donât want to
see came.â
âPeytie, Mom said five minutes.â
âI didnât even want to listen for five seconds,â Peyton said coldly
The neighbor next door opened the door to come out, Peyton didnât 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 Peytonâs 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.
âSpeak.â
Colette looked around and realized that this apartment was not big, she could see it all at a glance.
âPeytie, I heard Helena say that she specifically bought the Schmittâs house for you. Why donât you
move back? This place is so small, how can it be enough to live in?â
Peyton put down the water cup. There were too many things in this
sentence that made her angry, and for a moment, she didnât know where to start complaining.
âYou 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?â
Colette quickly came up and took her hand. âPeytie, although the Schmittâs family is not a topâtier
wealthy family, they have always provided for you since you were little. Mom didnât know that the
Schmittâs family would go bankrupt. If I had known earlier, I would have definitely brought you by my
side.â
Peyton quickly withdrew her hand, knowing that Colette, who had never experienced hardship, would
never understand no matter what she said.
âDonât pretend. Spit it out, what did you come here for today? Let me guess, is it something to do with
Helena?â
It is quite sad to say that every time Peytonâs mother came to see her, it was always about her
stepdaughterâs matters.
Colette was not someone who would conceal her emotions, a hint of unease flashed across her face.
âMom came to apologize for the last incident, and I know I was a bit out of line. But you also have to
consider Momâs 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 doesnât like me.
Mom has been having a tough time in that household.â
Colette sighed and continued, âI wasnât 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 wonât
pick on me anymore, and I also helped you. Youâre still young, you will meet better people in the future,
and you need to completely break free from your past emotions.â
Peyton thought, âIsnât this selfish? She almost had the word âselfishâ engraved on her forehead.â
Peyton burst into laughter, âSo, in order to secure your soâcalled happiness and establish yourself in
that household, you chose to sacrifice your own daughterâs reputation. Well done.â
âPeytie, you were young and didnât 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.â
âSo should I still thank you?â
Colette didnât catch her sarcasm. âIf you spend more time with Elbert, youâll know heâs a really good
person. Peytie, he genuinely wants to be your dad.â
Peyton pressed her stomach, and Colette continued speaking when she saw her silence.
âThe Chase family welcomes your arrival. Tomorrow is Helena and Nolanâs engagement banquet, and
they would like you to attend as her sister to bless them, okay?â
