Captivation: Want Nothing But You

Chapter 97: The Jimenez Family Siblings 

Carson slowed his car and narrowed his eyes at the man.He remembered seeing him before, it was just taking him a little while to remember his name.

"Isn't he one of the children from the Jimenez family? What is his name again?" he murmured to himself.

The man in question was Roger.He came to stand in front of Rachel with a warm smile, and said in a gentle voice, "Long time no see, Rachel."

Rachel looked up at him in confusion.She had a feeling she knew who he was; she just couldn't remember.

"You're…" she trailed off as a gust of strong wind blew, splashing raindrops against her face and clothes.

She blinked away the water and in that instance, she remembered.

"Roger, right?" she said with a small frown.

There had always been a saying in the business world of Apliaria, "When a Sullivan met a Jimenez, there was bound to be a tug-of-war."

Both families were powerful, with years of deep history and solid foundations.

Roger was the perfect idea of what a successor of the Jimenez family should be.

Even though Roger and Victor had very little dealings with each other, people often compared the two families.

It wasn't because they were rivals; it was because of the different paths in life that each had taken.

Victor had been an illegitimate child, born out of wedlock.

His mother had passed away when he was very young, leaving him in the care of his grandmother.

When he'd been growing up, he was very rarely seen at social occasions held by the upper-class families.

At the age of 14, he'd been sent to study abroad.

In direct contrast, Roger was seen as a golden child.

Growing up, he'd had the best of the best in everything.He'd had the best education, the best care, and a good family life.

He'd been a valued, respected member of society, and by the time he'd become a man, people always referred to him as a perfect gentleman.

Roger and Rachel knew each other because they'd attended the same high school.

They'd taken the Senior High School Entrance Examination in the same year, around about the same time, and Rachel had scored 0.5 points higher than Roger.

She was the highest ranked student in Apliaria that year.She could have attended any school she liked; including the first-rank senior high school.

And she probably would have, if it hadn't been for Alice.

Alice had applied too late and was put on the waiting list, behind the last applicant to the school.

Caroline and Alice tried just about everything to get her into the school.

They even went so far as to play on Rachel's emotions and persuade her to give up her place to Alice.

In the end, Rachel had agreed.

She gave up her spot and chose to attend the second best high school in Apliaria.
