Chapter 756


    Chapter 756


    “You’re indebted to the Johnson family, so why did you frame Tom?”


    When Harold heard this, the dazed look on his face instantly disappeared, and a fleeting look of panic


    shed across his eyes under his sses. “Miss Grey, just as you said, I’m indeed indebted to the


    Johnson family. How can I repay kindness with ingratitude?”


    “So it was unintentional of you to introduce Tom to outsiders in private and collect bribes for him after


    he left?”


    Her tone was casual, but every word fell into Harold’s ears, making his heart sink uncontrobly. It was


    as if he had been soaked in ice water. His entire body turned cold and his face involuntarily became


    pale.


    He clenched his hands on his knees silently into fists. His throat was dry and tense. “How did you


    know…”


    Rachel saw the panic on his face, but she did not bat an eyelid. She supported her forehead with her


    fingertips and nced at him indifferently. There was a hint of disdain in the corners of her eyes. It was


    as if she was looking down at an ant. “I have my ways, of course. But have you ever thought of the


    consequences of offending the Johnson family?”


    Her voice was calm, but there was a chill in her words. “Or rather, when you attacked the Johnson


    family, that person didn’t tell you the consequences of touching the Johnson family.”


    Harold suddenly looked up and met Rachel’s dark eyes.


    The woman’s eyes were cold and filled with mockery. It was as if she had seen through the secret in


    his heart. It made Harold feel as if he had fallen into a vault of ice. In an instant, he was rendered


    speechless.


    After some time, he struggled to find his voice from his nervousness and unease. “Why do


    you think that I’m the one who framed Mr. Johnson behind his back? You should know that Mr. Johnson


    has held a high position for many years. Be it his friends or so-called confidants, they’re mostly just


    united on the surface but separated on the inside.


    “Besides, do you really think that a simple report can put Mr. Johnson in danger?


    As Mr. Johnson’s assistant, I know very well that we’re bound together regardless


    of what happens to Mr. Johnson. No matter what happens to him, I won’t be able to escape. In that


    case, why should I frame him?”


    His analysis was logical, and no one could find any fault in his words.


    However, Rachel ignored him.


    She ced her fingers on her forehead and smiled slightly with her crimson lips. However, there was a


    terrifying coldness in the depths of her eyes, making Harold feel inexplicably uneasy.


    “I’m just curious. What benefits did the other party promise for you to keep your mouth shut like this?”


    Hearing this, Harold’s eyshes fluttered. He lowered his gaze in a panic to hide the guilt and


    uneasiness in his eyes.


    He thought that he would be able to deal with the woman after Lucas left, but it was obvious that he


    had underestimated Rachel.


    This woman’s thoughts were truly unfathomable. It was as if she had seen through


    -all his secrets..


    “Miss Grey, I’ve said everything that needs to be said. As for whether you believe me or not, it’s all up


    to you.” Harold raised his hand and pushed the frame of his sses up the bridge of his nose. “Miss


    Grey, you’re still young and can’t see, through the nature of human greed. Sometimes, you can’t just


    look at the surface. A person will be numb once he develops a habit, and once they’re numb,


    they’ll want to seek excitement.”


    In other words, he was implying that Tom was secretly taking bribes for the thrill of it.


    “I won’t argue with you about this, but there won’t be a next time. It’s gettingte. I’ll leave first.”


    Seeing him turn around and leave, Rachel chuckled. “Did I say you could leave?”


    Her tone was light and indifferent, but it was extremely chilling.


    Harold’s heart gripped.


    He had to admit that he had an unprecedented fear of this woman at this


    moment.


    He turned and looked at Rachel.


    Coincidentally, she looked up at this moment. Her clear almond-shaped eyes made. Harold’s pupils


    dte. She looked like a wild beast staring at its prey.

    He held his breath. It was as if a hand had grabbed his neck, and he could not make a sound for a


    moment.


    Rachel sighed softly. There was a hint of distress in her tone. “It’s not just that I haven’t seen through


    human greed. I’m afraid Tom has also seen through it. Otherwise, why would he keep an ingrate by his


    side? An ingrate that colluded with outsiders to frame him. If we had known earlier, the Johnson family


    might as well have adopted a dog back then. Don’t you think so?”


    Harold’s expression suddenly changed. He felt as though someone had grabbed his heart. He


    squirmed.


    His intuition told him that perhaps Rachel knew something.


    He clenched his fists tightly at his sides and said nothing.


    In the long silence, ayer of cold sweat broke out on his back, gradually wetting his shirt.


    “You’re a student that the Johnson family has been sponsoring, and you’ve been well-behaved all


    these years. Tom has a good impression of you. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have kept you by his side.


    However, you used his trust to steal his seal. and forge his signature. You’re really bold.”


    Hearing her words, Harold couldn’t hold it in anymore.


    At that moment, many thoughts shed through his mind. In the end, he only said. weakly, “I-I didn’t…”


    He really couldn’t figure it out. He had done those things without anyone knowing. Even the


    investigation team couldn’t find out he was the one.


    But how did Rachel know?


    He suddenly felt that the woman in front of him was like a beast in a pure and harmless disguise and


    that she could tear off her disguise and swallow him at any time.


    Harold did not have the time to think. His body reacted first.


    However, when he opened the door, he saw Billy and a few other burly men standing outside. They


    looked like guardian gods.


    His intuition told him that he could not escape at all.


    “Drugging Tom, disguising yourself, and forging signatures. Not only did you escape the surveince


    cameras, but you also managed to deceive everyone. Your ingenious idea is really impressive.” Rachel


    slowly stood up. “Do you know why I brought you here today?”


    Harold didn’t say anything. He just tensed up and looked at her warily.


    “I’ve always liked to give a person a taste of their medicine. Since that is the case, I have something to


    return to you.”


    Harold felt a strong sense of danger and instinctively refused. “No, there’s no need.”


    However, Rachel did not seem to hear him at all. She gave Billy a look.


    Billy poured a small bottle of transparent liquid into a bottle of wine and walked straight toward Harold


    with the bottle in hand. Then, as if he was holding a chicken, he grabbed Harold’s cor, pried open his


    chin, inserted the mouth of the


    bottle into his mouth, and forced him to drink all the wine.


    Harold struggled violently. His white shirt was wet from the alcohol, and his sses fell to the side.


    Even so, his strength was nothing in front of Billy.


    After drinking the entire bottle of wine, Billy threw Harold to the ground as if he was throwing away a


    piece of trash.


    Haroldid on the ground in a sorry state. He didn’t care about the sses that had fallen to the


    ground. He pressed his hands against his throat with all his might, but he couldn’t vomit anything,


    “What did you make me drink?” His eyes were red as he red fiercely at Rachel. “I’m a civil servant.


    How dare you treat me like this!”
