Betrayal At the Altar by Dolores Delia

Chapter 634 Rachel was sent by Darcy to Lucas’s apartment. Seeing Rachel’s arrival, Lucas could not help but be stunned. “Why are you here?” “I miss you,” Rachel said. Lucas was totally shocked. It was too strange to hear Rachel said these words. “Did you quarrel with David?” Lucas asked carefully. • Before Lucas could finish his sentence, Rachel picked up a pillow and threw it at him. “Can’t you speak something good?” “Then you’re making things too difficult for me.” Lucas grabbed the pillow and flipped over to land steadily on the sofa. Lucas pretended to be serious and said, “To be honest, if the two of you really break up, Grandpa can’t wait to celebrate for it for the entire night.” Rachel was speechless. “Let’s talk about serious matters.” Rachel changed the topic at the right time. “Back then, during the financial crisis, many companies were severely injured. Only the Cruise family stayed out of it all the time. Previously, it was exposed that the Cruise family was involved in illegal transactions and was suspected of tax evasion. However, all the negative news was suppressed by the Cruise family’s backers. See if you can find anything.” “Ever since the crackdown on the underworld, there have been many anonymous reports on the Cruise family, but they have all been suppressed.” A disdainful smile appeared on Lucas’s face. “Since there are traces, there’s no privacy in front of me.” As Lucas spoke, he got up and walked to study. Lucas came out with a notebook then. Lucas’s clean and slender fingers quickly flew across the keyboard. The dim light on the screen landed on his face, making his well-defined face look half-lit and half-dark. There was an imperceptible killing intent in Lucas’s eyes. A moment later, the Cruise Group’s accounts appeared on the computer screen. There was a real account, a fake account, and a roster. This roster recorded all the convenient services provided by the Cruise family to certain high-level figures over the years. The time, place, and incident were all recorded clearly. In another private document, there were some photos that were taken in secret. These photos could be used as evidence. “No wonder the Cruise family has been so frugal over the years. It turns out that most of the money is spent on the ways of flattering big shots.” An intriguing smile appeared on Lucas’s lips. His eyes flickered with an unknown coldness. “Come and take a look. It will definitely broaden your horizons.” Rachel put down the glass in her hand and took the laptop. Rachel placed it on her lap and skimmed through it. The room fell into dead silence After an unknown period of time, Rachel’s cold voice slowly sounded. “This is enough for Richard to go to jail for the rest of his life.” “It’s not just Richard who will be jailed. No one from the Cruise family will be able to escape,” Lucas said. “That roster alone is enough to bring death to Richard.” Rachel copied all the information and sent it to her private email. Lucas looked at Rachel. “Why did you decide to deal with the Cruise family so soon?” Those who were familiar with Rachel knew that compared to a quick resolution, Rachel preferred to torture her enemy slowly. It was as if Rachel was watching coldly from the sidelines a fish on the ground as it struggled on the verge of death. Rachel was about to speak when there was a knock on the door. Rachel subconsciously looked up. “It’s already so late. Who is it?” Lucas mumbled as he stood up and walked toward the door. When the door opened, Lucas saw Don standing awkwardly at the door with two police officers following behind him. Lucas raised his eyebrows slightly. It was quite interesting. Lucas leaned against the door and took out a cigarette from his pocket. “Are you here to do your routine?” The moment Lucas finished speaking, the atmosphere suddenly became subtle. The surrounding air revealed a seriousness that pressed down on the police officers’ hearts, making them not even dare to breathe loudly. When Don found out that Rachel was at Lucas’s home, he was men tally prepared to face Lucas. However, in the face of Lucas, Don still could not help but feel guilty. Don looked past Lucas and immediately saw Rachel sitting on the sofa. Rachel was wearing a royal blue suit with a white silk sling inside. She looked capable and elegant. Her slightly curly long hair fell to one side of her shoulder, making her cold and beautiful face look even more charming. As if sensing Don’s gaze, Rachel slowly raised her eyes and looked over. “Are you here to look for me?” The sudden gaze made Don’s ears turn red. Don cleared his throat and returned to his usual unsmiling manner. Do took out the arrest warrant. “We have received a report that you are suspected of intentional injury. Please come with us and cooperate with our investigation.” When Rachel heard this, her eyes narrowed slightly, and an unknown coldness flickered in the depths of her charming eyes. Lucas suddenly chuckled. “I didn’t hear you clearly. Say what you just said again?” Lucas’s tone was slow and calm, and there was an unconcealable sharpness in his words that made one shudder. Don secretly observed the expression on Lucas’s face. Don’s intuition told him that if he spoke again, Lucas would directly strangle Don’s throat. After pondering for a long time, Don could only brace himself and hand the arrest warrant to Lucas. He explained, “Mr. George personally gave the order.” Lucas didn’t even look at it and directly threw the arrest warrant in Don’s face. “The Seaxasth Police Station is quite impressive. You didn’t even investigate the matter properly and dared to come to my door to arrest Rachel?” 5 Lucas had heard a little about the newly appointed deputy chief, Alfredo. It was said that Alfredo was appointed here by the higher-ups. As soon as Alfredo took office, he couldn’t wait to take away Warren’s power. Alfredo looked like he wanted to take over Warren’s position urgently. Alfredo was so arro gant because he had a powerful backer behind him. Now, Alfredo had brazenly dealt with Rachel, he was simply trying to embarrass the Johnson family! “Mr. Johnson, we’re doing things according to the law.” At this moment, Travers, who was following behind, said, “Since we personally came to take Miss Grey away, we naturally have evidence. She was indeed the one who attacked first. If you don’t believe me, you can ask her yourself!” With just one sentence, Travers targeted Rachel, Rachel played with the crystal cup with her fingertips. A beautiful smile appeared on her lips. “I did attack first. Is self-defense against the law?” Travers sneered. “Those people were beaten up by you until they were crippled or unconscious. You’re telling me this is self-defense?” Don looked at Travers and did not say anything. Instead, Don silently walked to the side and lit a cigarette. Since someone was rushing to show up, Don didn’t need to stop him. “Don’t fuc king popularize law in front of me. Unless Warren or Alfredo comes personally, no one can take her away!” Lucas’s malicious gaze swept past the people in front of him, and his body emitted a terrifying murderous aura. Travers frowned. “Go and take her away!” “Yes!” The police officer following behind Travers immediately barged into the room with handcuffs and walked straight to Rachel. At this moment, Don walked forward and handed the phone to Travers. “It’s for you.” “Who is it!” Travers’s tone was filled with impatience. The next second, Warren’s scolding voice came from the phone. “Are you courting for a beating again? How dare you go arrest Miss Grey? I think you’ve lived long enough! I’m warning you, without my orders, don’t act on your own! If you cause some trouble, I will give you a hard lesson then.”
