Betrayal At the Altar by Dolores Delia

Chapter 779

Lone Wolf knew that Rachel had gone to great lengths to save him from Ronnie. He also knew that he had caused Rachel a lot of trouble this time, so he hid the truth about his injuries.

He looked up at Rachel and was about to say something when he noticed Chris standing not too far away. Lone Wolf pursed his lips and hesitated. In the end, he decided not to say anything.

Chris was a tactful person. When she saw Lone Wolf holding back, she placed the fruit basket she was holding on the table and said respectfully, “Miss Grey, you guys chat. I’ll stand guard outside.”

With that, she turned around and left, leaving Rachel and Lone Wolf alone in the ward.

After Chris left, Rachel poured a glass of water and handed it to Lone Wolf. “She’s gone now. If you have anything to say or ask, feel free to do so.”

“It’s nothing.” Lone Wolf held the glass of water in his palms, not daring to exert force with his fingers. “I just wanted to ask about you and David.”

Rachel raised her eyebrows slightly. “Didn’t Vulture and Blackhawk tell you when they went back?”

Lone Wolf smiled. “They did. But I still find it unbelievable.”

“There are many things in this world that are unexpected.” Rachel sat back in her chair. “Tell me about you. Aren’t you supposed to be investigating Ronnie? Why did the investigation turn into an assassination?” Rachel asked plainly.

If it were an assassination mission to begin with, it would have involved members of the combat team. They would not have sent Lone Wolf, who was in charge of intelligence, to handle it.

Moreover, Lone Wolf was a calm and thoughtful person. He was not impulsive like Vulture, nor as rash as Blackhawk.

After much pondering, the only reason Rachel could think of was that Lone Wolf bore a personal grudge against Ronnie.

“You believe him?” Lone Wolf lowered his eyelids to conceal the mocking in his eyes. “Do you know who asked me to carry out the investigation?”

Rachel did not reply. Instead, she looked at Lone Wolf and patiently waited for him to finish his sentence. “It’s Yandel.”

“It was Yandel who requested me to investigate Ronnie. During my investigation, I realized Ronnie seemed to be onto something too. Based on the clues, I gathered that he was investigating Yandel,” Lone Wolf said. “Previously, you asked me to find out about Yandel. But his background is unclear. I had wanted to take the opportunity to probe more. Who would have guessed.”

Wolf paused for a moment. His bandaged fingers curled up slightly and tensed. “Who would have guessed that I
