Betrayal At the Altar by Dolores Delia

Chapter 636 In an instant, the temperature in the entire interrogation room dropped to a low point. Lucas sensed the change in Tom’s aura, lowered his eyes, and smiled, revealing a hint of evilness. Lucas really felt that Alfredo in front of him was quite reckless. If the matter today was settled properly, everyone would be okay. Otherwise, Alfredo’s career would probably come to an end. Although Alfredo was appointed by the higher-ups to come over from another place, Tom was no stranger to Alfredo. However, Alfredo did not expect to meet this legendary ruthless secretary-general at this juncture. When Travers saw Tom, his expression changed. Travers silently held his breath and focused. He carefully retreated to the side, afraid that he would be implicated. When Lucas saw Travers’s cowardly appearance, he sneered in disdain. Travers completely lost his arro gant attitude from just now. “Travers, you didn’t look like this when you took Rachel away in front of me previously.” Hearing this, Tom frowned slightly. Tom turned to look at Travers, who was standing in the corner but did not say anything. Tom walked toward Rachel. Rachel’s slightly curled long hair was scattered behind her head. The strong light landed on her face, making her fair cheeks look almost pale. His gaze slowly moved down until Tom looked at Rachel’s wrists which were reddened by the handcuffs. A trace of anger appeared between Tom’s eyebrows. “Uncuff her!” Travers was stunned for a moment and almost instinctively rushed forward. Travers had just taken a step when Alfredo stopped him. Travers looked at Alfredo in confusion. Alfredo changed his respectful and fearful attitude from just now and said meaningfully, “Mr. Johnson, I’m afraid what you’re doing is against the rules.” This casual sentence firmly pinned the blame for the abuse of power on Tom. Rachel narrowed her eyes slightly and looked up at Alfredo with a cold glint in her eyes. “Since when did a deputy chief at the police station have the right to speak?” Tom looked at Alfredo with a faint smile. Tom’s tone was calm and emotionless, carrying an unknown ruthlessness. Alfredo felt inexplicably guilty for a moment, but he quickly adjusted his emotions. “Mr. Henry is on his business trip. I’m the one who has the most power at the police station for the time being, so I naturally have to bear the corresponding responsibility.” Tom looked at Alfredo coldly. Alfredo continued, “Mr. Johnson, I’m afraid you don’t know this. Miss Grey maliciously injured people, causing them seriously injured. The circumstances are wicked, so before the matter is investigated clearly, she can’t even leave the interrogation room, let alone be removed from the handcuffs.” “Mr. Johnson, if you really want to help her, you should think of a way to persuade her to cooperate with us as soon as possible. Otherwise….” Alfredo paused for a moment, endured the pain on his face, and squeezed out an intriguing smile. “You know how the officers at the police station handle cases, right?” If not for the fact that Rachel was quite pretty, Alfredo would have already asked his subordinates to do something to make Rachel suffer. Alfredo did not expect Rachel to dare to splash hot water on his face. Damn it, it hurt so badly. “Alfredo, you want to force her to confess?” Tom’s deep and cold voice was filled with a chill that seeped into one’s heart, making one shudder. Alfredo touched his face and said calmly, “We all have our duties, so the working rules and ways are naturally different. It’s better for you not to interfere, Mr. Johnson.” When Marina called today, she made herself very clear on the phone that the reason why Rachel was so arro gant was that she had the Johnson family backing her. However, with the surveillance videos as evidence, even if the Johnson family wanted to protect Rachel, it was still difficult for Rachel to escape the crime of maliciously and seriously injuring others. Moreover, Marina’s intention was very simple. She wanted to use this matter to put Rachel in jail for life. If the Johnson family insisted on protecting Rachel, Marina would not mind taking advantage of the situation and pulling them down too. After all, the Johnson family had dominated Seaxas for many years. It was time for the position of the richest family to change hands. Tom still wanted to say something, but Rachel grabbed his hand and said, “Go and get ready.” When Tom sensed the object in his hand, his eyes flickered slightly. Tom looked up and gave Rachel a deep look. “Go ahead,” Rachel said. Tom pursed his thin lips. After hesitating for a while, Tom stood up and left in the end. As Alfredo watched Tom leave, he had a smug look on his face. “Mr. Johnson, you’re indeed a wise man.” Hearing this, Tom stopped in his tracks slightly and looked sideways at Alfredo deeply. However, Lucas, who was standing at the side, rushed forward and grabbed Alfredo’s collar directly, pressing Alfredo against the wall. “If you dare to say another word of nonsense, believe it or not, I’ll cripple you!” “Lucas!” Rachel and Tom spoke in unison. Lucas secretly gritted his teeth. The veins on his forehead bulged, and his cheeks were tense, showing his forbearance at this moment. Lucas snorted, let go of Alfredo, and turned to leave. After they left, Rachel played with the empty paper cup with her fingertips and said casually, “Let’s talk about what I have done?” Hearing this, the people in the interrogation room could not help but be stunned. Their gazes all landed on Rachel. Don sized her up with probing eyes. Could it be that Rachel couldn’t stand it anymore and decided to confess so quickly? This was completely different from what Don had imagined. One had to know that the last time Rachel came to the police station, she had caused a huge commotion in the entire police station. The big shots of various forces took turns coming to take her away. Alfredo did not know about these things. He only thought that Rachel realized that her backers were useless and planned to admit guilt. “Sure.” Alfredo adjusted his slightly wrinkled collar, pulled out a chair, and sat opposite Rachel arro gantly. “Then tell me everything you knew.” Rachel said, “They have ulterior motives against me. I was just defending myself. I just didn’t expect them to be so unprofessional. They were so weak and could not afford my slight beating at all. It’s just like that.” When Alfredo heard Rachel’s words, his face suddenly darkened. “Rachel, you’re playing with me!” “I’m telling the truth.” Rachel looked up at Alfredo. “If you don’t believe me, you can ask those people. Alfredo looked at Rachel deeply for a moment and sneered. “I will wait and see how stubborn you can be!” As soon as Alfredo finished speaking, he looked at the people beside him. “Lock her up. She’s not allowed to eat or drink, let alone sleep!” The expressions of the surrounding people suddenly changed, and they silently sympathized with Rachel. Rachel, on the other hand, had a calm expression on her face as if she did not care about these at all. After Marina received the news, she took a private plane to Seaxas overnight. After Marina got into Olivia’s car, she asked, “Did you get the injury reports?” “Yes, I’ve got them.” Olivia said, “I’ve consulted a lawyer. These are all solid evidence. Even if the famous lawyer, Adrian, comes, he won’t be able to save Rachel!” When Marina heard this, her eyes lit up. “Have you talked with the people lying in the hospital properly?”
