Chapter 932: 270: Waking up Wang Ermie, being PUA_6
“That makes sense,” Noah Reed responded, “No wonder she isn’t close with you.”
Delia Frieman widened her eyes, “She isn’t close with me?”
She always thought that she had a very good relationship with Rachel Barton.
Yet Noah Reed had just said otherwise.
Noah Reed nodded, “Yeah, to be honest, the few times we’ve met her, she always seemed indifferent, as if she belonged to a different world than you. But today, when she asked you for money, her attitude changed significantly.”
He’s only been dating Delia for less than a week, so he really doesn’t want to badmouth Rachel.
...
But he couldn’t hold back.
Because every time he saw Rachel, she was always stone-faced, which left a very bad impression on him.
There was one thing he didn’t say out loud.
Rachel seemed to look down on Delia.
“Not at all, you got it wrong.” Delia didn’t take this seriously, she laughed: “Actually, my sister is very nice. If you think she appears stone-faced, it might have something to do with her past experiences.”
After all, Rachel went through such a terrible thing; her occasional mood swings were justified.
There were many times when even Delia herself couldn’t accept her own past and felt inexplicably depressed, let alone young Rachel.
So, Delia understood Rachel very well.
“That’s not it,” as an outsider, Noah could see things very clearly, “This definitely isn’t about her past experiences. Your sister just doesn’t seem to really like you.”
In front of Noah, Rachel never pretended to be someone else.
Not everyone is like Viola Thompson, able to see through human nature at a glance.
Delia continued, “Do you know, the only reason why I was able to escape from that hell hole is because of my little sister.”
Noah was startled, “What do you mean?”
“Anyway, it’s all in the past now. It wouldn’t hurt to tell you about it.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Delia told him what had happened.
Noah Reed said, “Although what happened had a lot to do with your little sister, it was mainly because of Miss Thompson, wasn’t it? If it wasn’t for Miss Thompson’s foresight, perhaps…”
Delia turned to Noah Reed, “But think about it this way, if Rachel wasn’t my sister, would Miss Thompson even know of my existence?”
She got to know Viola Thompson because of Rachel.
This was also why Delia was so nice to Rachel.
Delia felt that Rachel was her good luck charm.
However, Noah didn’t agree with Delia’s point of view, “Sis, this doesn’t mean that your sister cannot dislike you. And have you ever thought about it this way, it was Miss Thompson who went out of her way to save you. This has nothing directly to do with your sister.”
He wasn’t sure if it was his imagination.
He always felt that Rachel seemed to hold a grudge against Delia.
Normally, there shouldn’t be such an issue between sisters, but Noah genuinely felt it.
At this point, Noah added, “Maybe I’m overthinking it, but I would still advise you to be a little more careful.”
No matter what, he just couldn’t bring himself to like his sister-in-law Rachel.
Delia frowned slightly, “Why do you harbor such animosity towards my sister?”
“Sis, you got it wrong, I don’t want to lie to you,” out of fear that Delia would get angry, Noah took hold of Delia’s arm, “We have been together for less than seven days, of course, I should make a good impression in front of you and your family. I wouldn’t say this unless I really had to. I just don’t want you to be taken advantage of, sis.”
Delia calmed down, took a deep breath, “I know you mean well. But don’t worry, I can guarantee with my integrity, my sister isn’t the person you think she is.”
“Okay.” Noah nodded, knowing that Delia didn’t like this topic, he didn’t continue, instead he asked, “Sis, are you still responsible for your sister’s living expenses?”
“Yeah.” Delia answered, “Rachel is my only sister, I want her to live the life I once dreamed of.”
In some ways, Rachel was just another Delia, a Delia who wasn’t tricked into the Underground City, a Delia who successfully got into her dream university.
Noah hugged Delia, “You’re really kind, sis.”
He only hoped that Rachel wouldn’t let such a good sister down.
On the other side.
Rachel had just arrived at school when she received a transfer from Delia.
Ten thousand dollars.
[If it’s not enough, just tell your sis.]
[Okay, thank you, sis.]
The Delia responded with an ‘it’s no big deal’ emoji.
Noah noticed that Delia was chatting with someone, and then asked, “Sis, may I see all your WhatsApp chat records?”
“Sure.” Delia handed Noah her phone.
There were no secrets in her phone that she didn’t want others to see.
Noah found the chat records between Delia and Rachel.
And found one problem.
Most of the time, Delia initiated the conversation and transferred money to Rachel.
On important festivals, Delia would send a red packet to Rachel first, and this would be reciprocated by Rachel’s holiday wishes.
All relationships are reciprocal.

Whether it’s family or love.
Yet in this relationship, Rachel hasn’t given anything.
But Delia, who attaches great importance to this sister, doesn’t notice anything unusual.
The more Noah read, the more uneasy he felt. He put down the phone, “Sis, has your sister ever introduced anyone to you as a potential partner?”
“Yeah.”
Noah hugged her arm, started to complain, “Aren’t you scared that I will get jealous?”
“At that time, we hadn’t officially started dating yet. So it was quite normal for my sister to introduce potential partners to me.” Delia responded.
Because she’s Rachel’s sister, that’s why Rachel would care about her love life.
Noah rested his head on Delia’s shoulder, “Sis, have you noticed a problem when interacting with your sister?”
“What problem?” Delia asked.
Noah continued, “It seems that she has never recognized you. And she has never taken the initiative to contact you. Of course, asking for money is the exception. In other words, don’t you think your own sister is PUA-ing you?”
Hearing this, Delia frowned slightly and asked, “What is PUA?”
Delia was so focused on her work, that she used her little free time to either improve herself or date Noah Reed, she simply didn’t have the time to understand these internet slang terms.
Noah explained, “PUA is a process where you degrade the other person, destroy their self-confidence, and then control them psychologically until they feel like they’re inferior to you.”
Clearly, Delia was the one being PUA’d.
Under Rachel’s subtle influence, even if Delia was successful in her career, and even if she’s dating a great guy, she always felt that she was under Rachel.
The person being PUA’d will never realize that they’re being PUA’d.
