Chapter 279 Keep Decency
When Maria saw Rachel, she clenched her fists and looked at Rachel in disbelief. How could she be
here? Why didn’t she know she was back at all? Noticing that Maria was looking at her, Rachel turned
her head and met her gaze. She could clearly feel the hostility from the way Maria looked at her, which
made her feel strange and stared at Maria for a while.
She had heard of Maria’s name before. She was the daughter of the Kennedy family and married to
Victor’s father when she was in her twenties. In a blink of eyes, she had been Mrs. Sullivan fór over
twenty years. Because of the marriage, the Kennedy family rose to the upper class.
But if she remembered correctly, this should be the first time she had met Maria, but the hostility Maria
had towards her made her wonder if they had met before. Moreover, Maria didn’t seem to be surprised at
her being alive, but her being here. If they had never met before, why would Maria look at her like that?
But if they had met before, Maria should also know her death four years ago, why wasn’t surprised?
Unless… Rachel’s eyes darkened, unless Maria knew she was alive the whole time, which was why she
wasn’t shocked to see her but only surprised she came here today. At the thought of this, Rachel’s eyes

by a tall figure.

of Rachel, then he called in a cold voice. “Mother.” This was how Victor addressed Maria when they were

son of the Sullivan family, but when in public place, they had to keep decency.
Maria withdrew her gaze and smiled gently, “Victor, is everything okay? I heard that some accident
happened on your way here. I was worried about you… I was worried that you would end up like Odin, I
am so relieved to see that you are fine. ” Worry was written all over Maria’s face, as if the man in front of
her was not the illegitimate child of the Sullivan family, but her own son.
Having been Mrs. Sullivan for over twenty years, Maria knew how to act. “Sorry, I made you worried,
mother.” Replied Victor in an indifferent tone. “It’s good you are fine. If something happens to you, I don’t
know how I can face Carolyn in heaven. ” Of course, Maria was referring to Victor’s grandmother. “Since
you are fine, you
should host the press conference today. I thought you might be caught in something just now.” Although
Maria really hated the fact that Victor was here now, she had to pretend like a gentle elder, “I… I haven’t
had a good rest these days. I feel tired, I may have to go back early.” “Ivan, drive Mrs. Sullivan home.
” Without saying anything, Victor ordered in a low voice. Ivan answered “yes”. Seeing that she couldn’t
get what she wanted here today, Maria had to nod to Victor and then leave. She knew she would only be

dripping down Victor’s arm. He walked to Victor, blocking the reporters’ sights and asked in a low voice.

blood hit the ground.

Then, out of the corner of her eye, she saw the man in front of her suddenly trembled slightly. Rachel’s
eyes widened. Subconsciously, she reached out to hold him, but unexpectedly, Victor held her shoulder
