Chapter 661
“My dad has asked Sasha for a divorce. I suppose she’ll leave the Lloyd household very soon. Perhaps you should make the necessary preparations.”
Leia said morosely, “Ms. Rachel, who would want someone at my age? What’s more, I’ve long gotten used to working for the Lloyds.”
Rachel didn’t know what to say.
Leia was right. She had been with the Lloyds for so many years, and old habits die hard. She might find it challenging to adapt to a new environment and work for another household.
Rachel pondered for a moment, and soon, an idea came to mind.
“How about this, Leia? Don’t work for the Lloyds anymore. How about working for me instead? But the problem is, I might not stay here in the future and might go overseas. Are you okay with that?”
Rachel couldn’t quite confirm her plans for the future, but right now, she didn’t really want to stay here.
Rachel’s words, rather than making Leia hesitant, delighted her.
“Sure, that’s not a problem for me. I don’t have children, and I’m all by myself. It’s the same for me no
matter where I go.”
Leia was smiling when she spoke, but Rachel could see a tinge of sadness in her eyes.
Rachel couldn’t hold back a question. “Even if you don’t have children, what about other relatives? Do you have any relatives, Leia?”
Leia shook her head and choked back tears.
“I was abducted and sold to the mountains when I was young. Had I not met your mother back then, I
wouldn’t know whether I’d be dead or alive now. Forget having any kin or family. I was too young when I
was abducted, I don’t even know where my family was and how my parents look like. I don’t know anything about them…”
Rachel’s brows furrowed. “Didn’t you try to look for them after you left the mountains? You could’ve
reported your case to the police.”
Leia shook her head. “It’s pointless. I tried reporting my case, but because I was too young when it happened and my memories were too blurry, I couldn’t remember a thing. They did nab the human trafficker, though.”
Rachel’s eyes lit up when she heard that. “You can find your family members through him.”
“When the police caught him, he resisted and ran onto the expressway. He got run down by a car.” Leia
sighed.

Rachel didn’t expect Leia to have such a tumultuous life. It wasn’t easy for the police to nab the human trafficker, so Rachel thought Leia could find her family through him.
Who would expect things to turn out this way–that Leia would lose her only glimmer of hope?
Rachel patted Leia on the shoulder and gave her a comforting hug. “It’s fine, Leia. Even though my mom is no longer around, I can be your family. Follow me and I’ll certainly pay you your worth.”
A tear trickled down Leia’s face. She wiped it away, gratitude shining in her eyes. “Really? Thank you so
much, Ms. Rachel.”
