Betrayal At the Altar by Dolores Delia

Chapter 769

When Rachel returned to the bedroom, Old Mr. Johnson had already gotten up and walked to the window.

“Grandpa, why are you up?” Rachel walked in and quickly placed the food on the table. She picked up a thin shirt and placed it on Old Mr. Johnson’s shoulder. “You’ve just recovered. What if you catch a cold?”

Old Mr. Johnson looked at Rachel’s face which resembled Sophia’s. There was a rare gentleness in his eyes.

He patted Rachel’s hand, then slowly turned around and walked toward the little coffee table.

The two of them ate in silence. Old Mr. Johnson slowly stirred the soup in the bowl with a spoon. His sharp eyes looked at Rachel from time to time. After thinking for a long time, he slowly said, “Rae-Rae, how did Tom come out this time?”

Rachel slowed her chewing movements slightly. She slowly lowered her head to hide the expression in her eyes. “Of course, it’s because the investigation team has found out the truth.”

Hearing this, Old Mr. Johnson could not help but raise his eyebrows.

Although he had never stepped into politics, he more or less understood the rules and regulations.

Previously, the anonymous letters were all testifying against Tom. It could be said that the evidence was conclusive, giving Tom no chance to make a comeback.

Under such circumstances, Tom would probably not be able to come out for the rest of his life.

However, in just two to three days, not only did the investigation team find other evidence to prove Tom’s innocence, they even released him. Naturally, there was someone behind the scenes to help.

He picked up the bowl in front of him and took a small sip of soup. “You, can hide this from others, but you can’t hide it from me. Tell me honestly, did you ask for help from David?”

Rachel was stunned. She looked up at Old Mr. Johnson and nodded gently. “I didn’t ask for help from him, but he did help a lot.”

Although without David’s help, she and Lucas would also think of ways to save Tom, it would not be as fast as now.
