Chapter 780

Linda walked towards Rachel with a bunch of documents in her hands. “Ms. Grey, Mr.

Johnson is here. He’s waiting for you in your office.”

Rachel was slightly surprised. “Got it.”

Carrying her bag, Rachel hurried into her office, where she saw Lucas sitting on the sofa. He was quietly smoking his cigarette.

When Lucas saw Rachel pushing the office door and entering the room, he pressed the cigarette between his fingers against the ashtray and extinguished it. Then, he quickly got up and walked to the window. He opened the window to ventilate the room. “Why are you

so late?”

“I went to see a friend.” Rachel walked to the desk, put down the bag in her hand, and looked up at him. “Why are you here? Did something happen?”

Lucas stuck one hand in his pocket and sat back on the sofa. “I went to the police station today.”

Upon hearing this, Rachel’s expression changed slightly. “Is there any progress?”

Harold had suddenly collapsed and died when he was at the police station. To prevent the matter from blowing up, it had been kept under wraps.

And now Lucas suddenly showed up in Rachel’s office. Could something have happened to-

Warren too?

Sensing her distress, Lucas quickly added, “Everything is fine right now. Based on the investigation, the staff standing guard has the greatest suspicion.”

Rachel raised her eyebrows slightly. “So, he was the one who poisoned Harold?”

“The results of the investigation team indicated so,” Lucas replied coolly as he toyed with the lighter in his fingers. “However, the guard refused to admit anything, even when the police had arrested him. Although we have all the evidence, he is still denying the charges. Hence, there is no way to convict him now.”

“Have you found out the cause of Harold’s death?”

“According to the autopsy report, the forensic pathologist has determined the cause as hydrogen cyanide poisoning.”

A body with too much hydrocyanic acid would display symptoms such as chest tightness and palpitations.

Lucas’s smoking addiction had been acting up lately. As he pondered, he subconsciously took a cigarette from his cigarette box.
