Chapter 765
It gave Rachel an indescribable feeling from the moment she first laid eyes on Yandel Smith.
Yandel looked gentle and approachable, but he was actually cold by
nature.
Just like at this moment, he seemed to be in the middle of the game, but in fact, everything was under his control.
“How is it? Disappointed?” Lucas’ voice sounded.
Rachel looked at him with a meaningful smile in her eyes. “I didn’t put much hope in it, so why would I be
disappointed?”
As they were talking, Lucas’ phone suddenly rang.
Seeing that the call was from his uncle Warren Henry, he was slightly stunned. After gesturing to Rachel, he stood
up and walked outside to answer the call.
The corridor was quiet. Lucas walked to the recreation area by the rockery and sat down. He lit a cigarette, crossed
his legs, took a drag on the cigarette, and answered the phone.
As soon as he picked up the call, Warren’s voice came from the other end. “Lucas, something’s come up.”
Lucas frowned slightly and asked casually, “What happened?”
Hearing this, Warren fell silent for a moment.
It was unknown whether he didn’t know how to speak or the following words were unspeakable.
He hesitated for a long time without saying anything. Lucas could not help but urge. “Uncle?”
“I’m here,” Warren quickly replied. He hesitated for a while and sighed deeply. “Harold Durham died just now.”
Upon hearing this, Lucas tightened his grip on the cigarette. He narrowed his eyes, which flickered with a strange
coldness. “What happened?”
Chapter 763
With such a big incident, Warren did not dare to hide anything and told Lucas everything. “When the patrolling
police officers found him, he was already lying on the ground in a coma. He died when he was sent to the hospital
because he missed the best rescue time. According to the forensics, the cause of death was a sudden cerebral
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthemorrhage.”
Sudden cerebral hemorrhage…
This illness really came at the right time…
Tomorrow, Harold would be handed over to the judiciary for
investigation. Coincidentally, he suddenly died of illness after Tom Johnson met him.
Harold deserved to die, but his death would definitely affect Warren Henry and Tom Johnson.
Lucas’ eyes were filled with hostility. He took a deep breath and asked in a low and hoarse voice, “How’s the
situation on your side?”
“They would give me a negligent punishment at most. What else can happen?” Warren said dismissively. “Now that
the criminal investigation. unit has already started investigating, we still have to wait for the autopsy report of the
forensic doctor. You don’t need to worry about me. I’m just worried about your father.”
No matter what, Harold Durham died from a sudden illness after meeting Tom Johnson.
It was so coincidental that one had to think deeply about it.
After hanging up, Lucas sat on the sofa without moving.
If the incident weren’t controlled in time, this fire would sooner or later burn on his father, Tom Johnson.
The most important thing now was to determine the cause of Harold Durham’s death and find the mastermind
behind the poisoning!
Sparks flashed. The cigarette on Lucas’ fingertip had already burned out. The skin on his fingertip felt a sharp
burning sensation. He suddenly came back to his senses, and a trace of frustration appeared between his
eyebrows. He pressed the cigarette into the ashtray and extinguished it before standing up and walking toward the
private room.
Chapter 763
At the same time, Rachel received the news of Harold Durham’s death and was stunned.
“Looks like the food tonight isn’t to your liking.” A cold and gentle voice. came from above.
Rachel looked up, and her red lips curled into a half smile. “It was really very kind of you to care about a nobody like
me on such an occasion, Mr. Smith.”
Yandel Smith then pulled out a chair and sat beside Rachel.
His arm was naturally placed on the chair. The sleeves of his white shirt were rolled up, revealing his fair skin. Every
move he made exuded the elegance and nobility of a noble young sir.
Rachel looked straight into his eyes fearlessly. Her calm expression exuded a confident glow, complementing her
innate cold and arrogant temperament, giving off an aura of unapproachability.
Yandel stared at Rachel’s face. The narrow corners of Rachel’s eyes slightly tilted upward, carrying a hint of
bewitching charm. “Miss Grey, you are indescribably beautiful. No wonder you could attract others’ attention. Since
we’re eating at the same table, why are you treating me like an outsider? If you don’t mind, why don’t you call me
by my name?”
Rachel smiled insincerely. “I’m just an ordinary person.”
“Miss Grey, you’re too modest.” Yandel Smith’s burning gaze was fixed on Rachel’s face.
Rachel was not in the mood to keep speaking in riddles with him. She simply went straight to the point. “It’s kind of
you to put on such a big show tonight. Mr. Smith.”
Yandel Smith looked innocent. “Miss Grey, why do you say that?”
When Rachel saw his face, the word “hypocrite” instantly popped up in her mind.
“Harold Durham’s death was definitely related to Yandel Smith.
“From the moment Yandel appeared at the police station to the time we ate at the same table, everything was
within his plan.
Chapter 763
“Even if someone suspected him later, with us acting as his alibi, he could perfectly avoid all suspicion.
“On the other hand. Harold Durham suddenly died after meeting Tom, so the suspicion naturally fell on my uncle
Tom.
“It had to be admitted that this Yandel was really good at scheming!” Rachel thought.
Rachel looked at Yandel. Her raised eyebrows carried her unique charm. but her eyes were filled with mockery.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Sorry, I need to go to the
restroom.
With that, she stood up and left.
“What a coincidence! I’m going outside to get some fresh air. Why don’t we go together?” As he spoke, Yandel
followed Rachel unhurriedly.
Rachel frowned slightly. She ignored him and walked out.
She hated people with no sense of boundaries.
Coincidentally, she bumped into Lucas Johnson, who had just returned from outside.
Seeing the two of them walk out of the private room one after another, Lucas knitted his brows imperceptibly.
I have something to tell you.” He looked at Rachel.
Rachel nodded.
At this moment, chaotic footsteps came from one end of the corridor, and the staff respectfully said, “Please come
in, gentlemen.”
Looking in the direction of the voice, they saw Jimmy Shain with a group
of his men.
Jimmy Shain and Landon Walker walked at the front while David Jones followed behind.
The black suit David was wearing was meticulously ironed, and the well-tailored design accentuated his tall and
straight figure.
He casually put one hand in his pocket and walked with slow and light
Chapter 765
steps. His innate nobility couldn’t be hidden.
When Jimmy Shain saw Rachel, he subconsciously smiled and prepared to go forward to greet her.
However, when he saw Yandel Smith standing beside Rachel, his smile froze, and he subconsciously looked at David
Jones.
There was no change in David’s expression, but a terrifying cold aura was lingering around him as if the
surrounding air had frozen into a layer of
fine ice.
David was angry.
