Chapter 501: How could she tell Carol that her relationship with Brian had ended? That they no longer shared a future together? She might never have the chance to be Carol's granddaughter-in-law.

This realization weighed heavily on her, bringing genuine sorrow and regret.

"Carol, may I join you for dinner?" Rachel asked, quickly shifting the conversation.

"Certainly. Anticipating your return, I instructed the cook to prepare all your favorite dishes." "Your thoughtfulness knows no equal!" Hand in hand, they made their way to the dining table.

Meanwhile, Debby observed from a distance, her mind struggling to process the unexpected scene unfolding before her.

What exactly was happening? Wasn't Carol supposed to be furious, prepared to confront Rachel and cancel her impending wedding to Brian? How had the situation taken such an unexpected turn? Carol showed no anger toward Rachel at all. Instead, she treated her with the reverence one reserves for something precious, even chastising Brian on Rachel's behalf. Throughout the entire exchange, Carol had protected Rachel with extraordinary devotion.

Debby felt her grip on reality slipping. It seemed she had unintentionally set the stage for her own downfall. Despite all her scheming, Carol's ire was aimed solely at Brian, completely bypassing Rachel.

Her premature celebration had been unfounded, only strengthening Rachel's position further.

At the dining table, Carol's gaze lingered on Rachel, and with each passing moment, her sympathy deepened. Finally, Carol directed another disapproving glance at Brian. "You should cherish and spoil your girlfriend. Look at Rachel—she's far too thin. I will give you two months to help her regain her health. If you don't, you will bear the consequences yourself."

"Carol," she said, her voice tight with frustration, "while favoritism is understandable, surely there are limits! What significance does Rachel really hold for you? She's still an outsider. Brian is your grandson. How can you criticize your own flesh and blood for the sake of an outsider?" Debby had just finished speaking when, out of nowhere, a sharp clink echoed through the room.

Carol, her face dark with anger, slammed her fork onto the table and fixed Debby with a cold, disappointed stare. "Do you even hear yourself? Brian is my grandson, and Rachel will be my granddaughter-in-law. I care for them both, but that doesn't mean I ignore Brian's past mistakes. Rachel is an incredible woman, and if he doesn't treasure her, there are plenty of others who would."

Debby, clearly unhappy, muttered under her breath, "What's so special about her anyway? She's poor and has nothing to offer. In the end, it's Brian who will end up suffering because of her lowly background."

Unfortunately for Debby, Carol caught every single word. Her gaze turned icy, and her anger flared. "It you have something in your mind, say it directly. I have no patience for petty whispers and sneaky complaints."

This time, Debby didn't hold back. "Alright, since you wantto speak my mind, I won't sugarcoat it. I really don't understand what's so amazing about Rachel that you're so obsessed with her insisting Brian should marry her. Her entire family is nothing but a bunch of opportunists. She has no mother, and her father might as well not exist. They are nowhere near Brian's level. Even getting a job as a manager at White Group was a favor to her. But somehow, she still managed to worm her way into my son's life, trying to make herself his wife. Honestly, I have to give her credit for her scheming skills." Every word from Debby was like a blade, stabbing into Rachel's heart without mercy.
