Chapter 512


    Chapter 512


    A guilty expression crossed Lucas’s face as he cast it on Rachel. His fear of Arthur’s walking stick


    made him open up about being bribed by David.


    He had assumed this issue had been resolved in secret. It still, surprisingly, reached Arthur’s ears.


    When Rachel heard this, there was something else shed across her eyes. This exined why Lucas


    had ceased asking about her and David.


    It turned out that he was so guilty that he couldn’t speak up for himself.


    With his walking staff, Arthur pounded loudly on the ground and roared, “You know he’s up to no good,


    and yet you continue to do business with him behind closed doors. Are you deliberately attempting to


    p*ss me off?”


    Lucas maintained his ck stance as if he didn’t give a d*mn about anything. “Grandpa, this matter


    isn’t as simple as you think. We’re just cooperating. It’s at best a win-win situation.”


    Arthur snorted angrily. “I’m just worried that you’ll sell Rae-Rae out!”


    Lucas lowered his head and murmured softly, “How can that be…”

    He didn’t even need to sell her out.


    Rachel would do what David told her to do as soon as he made a gesture.


    He would never have the nerve to really say anything like that. Otherwise, he would be skinned alive as


    soon as the words left his mouth.


    When Arthur turned back and saw Lucas, he was furious. He simply waved his hand and demanded,


    “Go, go, go. I’m annoyed just at the sight of you!”


    Lucas sprang to his feet. As he turned to leave, he gave Rachel a quick nce.


    Rachel immediately understood what he meant.


    Arthur sipped from the coffee he left on the table after he departed to calm down the mood.


    “Grandpa, why are you looking for me?” Rachel asked him.


    Under her honest gaze, Arthur felt even harder at what he was going to tell her.


    Hence, he picked up the cup again and took another sip of his coffee.


    Since he had finished his cup of coffee, he had no choice but to put down the cup in his hand and say


    with difficulty, “Rae-Rae, I know there are some things that I shouldn’t ask as your grandfather, but your


    mother passed away early and had repeatedly instructed me to take good care of you, so…”


    Rachel could tell that Arthur was in a difficult position. She smiled and said, “Grandpa, since when did


    we have to be so polite with each other?”


    When Arthur heard her, the stiffness in his face faded a bit, and a glimmer of relief could be seen in his


    eyes.


    He nced at Mr. Chadwick.


    Mr. Chadwick understood and turned to leave.


    There were only Arthur and Rachel left in the living room.


    Arthur sighed slightly. His gaze was unusually serious and grave as he asked, “Rae-Rae, tell me about


    you and David… How far have you progressed?”


    This question made Rachel, who was drinking her coffee, choke and cough. She never expected her


    grandfather to ask about this.


    Arthur knew that it was inappropriate for him to ask this question.


    Nevertheless, it was unfortunate that there was no one else who could have filled the role of


    appropriate candidate.


    He didn’t want too many people to know about Rachel and David’s romance.


    Rachel pursed her lips, not knowing how to answer.


    “Rae-Rae, you think you understand him, but what you see might just be the tip of the iceberg. It’s just


    what he wants you to see.” Arthur looked at Rachel’s lowered head and couldn’t help but sigh, “You


    have no idea what being with him


    means.”


    “Grandpa, I…”


    Before she could finish, Arthur cut her off, “I know what you want to say, but listen to my advice. This


    marriage is not suitable for you.”
