Chapter 718

Rachel was protected in David’s arms. When Rachel suddenly heard Marina’s accusation, she was so frightened

that her entire body trembled.

Rachel grabbed David’s collar tightly with both hands and turned to look at Marina timidly. Her eyes were innocent

and pitiful, and she was like a weak little white flower that could not protect itself. “Auntie Marina, I don’t have the

ability…”

Yann and Chris couldn’t help but exclaim in their hearts when they witnessed Rachel’s perfect acting skills.

They had really seen the scene of Rachel breaking a person’s wrist. At that time, Rachel was ruthless and

completely different from the soft and weak woman in front of them.

However, when Marina saw Rachel’s pitiful look, she was so angry that she almost couldn’t breathe.

Rachel was indeed good at acting.

Her eyes were filled with intense hatred as Marina glared fiercely at Rachel. “Stop pretending to be innocent! David

is blinded by you, but I am not! Do you dare to say that you didn’t secretly plan everything today? Then why is

Nathan here? Do you dare to say that you don’t know anything?”

Facing Marina’s accusation, Rachel bit her lips and whispered with tears in her eyes, “Auntie Marina, since you have

said so, I have nothing to say…”

With a compromised posture, Rachel vividly acted as a weak

woman.

Looking at Rachel’s attitude, everyone would only think that Marina was bullying Rachel and imposing false charges

on Rachel.

For a time, everyone looked at Marina with intriguing gazes.

Sensing the slight change in everyone’s expression, Marina knew

Chapter 718

that no one would believe her words.

If Marina continued, it would only make things worse.

Marina gritted her teeth tightly, wishing she could crush them. “Rachel, when I come out, we’ll settle the score!”

Sooner or later, Marina would make this bitch Rachel pay double for the humiliation she had suffered today.

When Rachel heard this, a thought-provoking smile flashed across her eyes.

Rachel had thought that Marina was a smart person, but she did not expect that she had overestimated Marina.

Marina was suspected of fraud and money-laundering, which involved a huge amount of money. According to the

local law, it was possible that Marina would be jailed for a decade or two. If others took the opportunity to avenge

Marina to add a decade or two to her sentence, Marina’s life would be wasted.

Even if Marina managed to make it through with much difficulty, the situation outside had already changed

drastically. She might not have the capital to make a comeback.

Moreover, Marina’s two charges had a huge impact on the Jones family.

As long as Marina was still the fifth daughter of the Jones family, then the Jones family would forever be a topic of

gossip. The only way to leave the Jones family well alone was to cut ties with Marina.

Old Mr. Jones had always valued the family’s reputation. He would never let the Jones family be embarrassed in

order to protect Marina.

Then the Jones family severing ties with Marina would become a fact.

Without the Jones family’s protection, the enemy Marina had gotten in the past would naturally come again.

Although Marina would waste her youth in prison for 20 to 30 years and her life

Chapter 718

would be a little bitter, at least she could keep her life.

After all, it was better to live than to die.

With this thought in mind, Rachel suddenly felt that she had done a good deed.

After Marina was taken away, everyone’s gaze fell on Nathan.

Everyone knew that the eight branches of the collateral family had done something foolish some time ago.

Later on, when they heard that the head and the mistress of the eight branches had committed suicide while being

interrogated, everyone could not help but sigh.

Originally, the eight branches of the collateral family had a bright future. However, because of a wrong choice, they

finally walked into a situation where they were all destroyed.

However, the most worrying person was the heir of the eight branches, Nathan.

They were curious about how Nathan, who couldn’t move freely, had avoided the search when David’s men

entered the houses of the eight branches. At the same time, they were worried that Nathan would take revenge

suddenly.

After all, once the eight branches fell, everyone here took the opportunity to take over the businesses of the eight

branches.

In order to eliminate potential threats, they all secretly investigated Nathan’s whereabouts.

However, no one expected Nathan to appear here. It seemed like Nathan was related to Marina.

“Why are you here?” Old Mr. Jones frowned slightly when he saw Nathan. A hint of displeasure appeared in his

eyes.

Old Mr. Jones had always followed the law of the jungle for the Jones family’s children.

Back then, Old Mr. Jones had watched Nathan grow up. Nathan was

Chapter 718

meticulous and revealed his intelligence at a young age.

Unfortunately, the heavens were jealous of talented people. On the way home, Nathan encountered an accident.

Although Nathan narrowly escaped death, he became a cripple who could not make great achievements.

Yann pulled off the black tape covering Nathan’s mouth.

Nathan turned his head and spat. He looked at Old Mr. Jones with a malicious gaze. “As expected of an old fool! You

would rather believe an outsider than your daughter!”

Others might not know what Rachel had done, but as an audience, Nathan saw it clearly.

Nathan watched helplessly as Rachel disrupted Marina’s market and lured Marina into a trap step by step. In the

end, Marina ended up like this.

As for the chief plotter, Rachel, this evil woman with ulterior motives acted as a weak and helpless woman.

Not only did Rachel fool everyone, but she also played with David.

“Nathan, have you forgotten the rules now either?” Noah spoke at the right time. His expression was serious, and

he looked like a stern and loving parent. “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and answer your grandpa.”

Nathan sneered. “I have nothing to say. You can kill me or torture me if you want!”

From the moment Nathan learned that his parents had been killed in custody and interrogation, he was determined

to make David pay with his life.

When his plan failed, Nathan was like a walking corpse.

However, when Nathan thought of Marina, he could not bear it.

Back then, when Nathan encountered the accident, everyone was laughing at him. Only Marina accompanied

Nathan and encouraged him to get back on his feet.

Chapter 718

When the eight branches of the collateral family were confiscated, Marina appeared by Nathan’s side as quickly as

before.

This kindness was something that Nathan could never forget.

Nathan took a deep breath, and determination flashed across his eyes. “I did everything. It has nothing to do with

Marina.”

“We’ll find out if you did it or not.” At this moment, a deep voice came from the door.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw another wave of police officers in uniforms walking in.

The man first showed his identification photo in front of everyone, then showed the arrest warrant. “Nathan, we’ve

received a report that you’re suspected of kidnapping and murder. Please cooperate with our investigation now.”

As the man spoke, he looked at Old Mr. Jones. “You see…”

Old Mr. Jones waved his hand expressionlessly, indicating that they could do whatever they wanted.

After receiving the order, the man looked at the two police officers behind him and said bluntly, “Carry him away!”

Seeing Nathan being carried away, Rachel suddenly said, “Can I have a word with him alone?”
