Chapter 372: A Trap (Part Four)


    There was a brief silence in the other line. Then, Victor said, “Bye.” He ended the call without giving


    Carson the opportunity to respond.


    Carson’s eyes narrowed and the corner of his mouth twitched, it seemed that things have gone quite


    different from what he nned. He had thought that once Victor learned that Rachel was with Roger,


    he would ask him where they were and then go look for her. However, Victor was surprisingly calm.


    Carson even believed that seeing the depressed and regretful man in the past four years was an


    illusion. Nheless, he had already led Rachel to the vi.


    Carson shrugged it off and still sent Victor the vi number, muted the phone, and tossed it on the


    passenger seat. A smile formed on his lips. “As a friend, this is all i can do.” He stepped on the


    elerator. The Ferrari pulled out of the parking lot and drove away from the Waterfront Hotel.


    Ding!


    A message popped out. Victor’s eyes narrowed as he examined Carson’s text message on his phone.


    When he was done reading, he deleted everything in a swipe. .


    He tightened his fists unconsciously as he closed his eyes. Just when he had calmed down, Rachel’s


    face appeared in his mind again. He missed her so much and his heart longed for her. He couldn’t help


    but murmur her name in a hushed voice. There was a garden between the hotel’s main hall and the


    vis for the guests. In the garden, there were various crisscrossed trails. The air was refreshing and it


    was also incredibly quiet. Many customers who dined at the hotel’s restaurant enjoyed taking a stroll


    through the garden.


    There were dimmed roadmps on both sides of the cobblestone path, allowing people to see the way


    while giving them an aesthetic feel. Rachel looked at the sign and proceeded to the vi the waiter had


    just mentioned. However, despite walking for more than ten minutes, she was unable to find the vi.


    She grimaced as she checked the time on her phone. She changed her SIM card aftering back


    and she wasn’t able to save ra’s phone number yet. Because of that, it was impossible to contact


    her and it might take forever to find her at this rate. Luckily, a woman who appeared to be working at


    this ce was passing by and Rachel quickly walked up and called out to her.


    “Hello, what can I do for you?” the staff asked respectfully as she looked at Rachel. “I’m sorry to bother


    you, but where can I find this vi?” Rachel told the woman the vi number. ” “It’s still a long way from


    here. How did you get here? You took the wrong way. The vi is in the opposite direction.”


    The woman was obviously surprised. ‘In the opposite direction?’ “But I followed the sign here…” Rachel


    murmured. “Oh! Yes, ma’am. We’re very sorry. A drunk guest broke the sign yesterday. We haven’t


    repaired it yet. It’s our honest mistake.”


    The corner of Rachel’s mouth twitched. She had walked such a long way but she was actually getting


    farther and farther from where she was supposed to go. “I see. So I should take that way?” Rachel


    pointed in the direction the staff had told her just now. She needed to give the medicine to Riley and


    she didn’t have time to care about the sign.

    “Yes. Let me take you there. It’s the least I could do.” “Thank you.”


    “Please, follow me.” The woman turned around and led the way. Rachel walked closely behind her.


    Some people were chatting on the garden bench, while others strolled across the garden. But as


    Rachel walked further, the garden became deafeningly quiet. Except for her and the woman, there was


    no one else.


    “We’re almost there. The vi is in front of us,” the woman said with a smile as she turned to Rachel.


    Rachel nodded and looked up, noticing a vi with lights turned on not far away. The woman evidently


    quickened her pace when they were about to arrive as if she couldn’t wait. She appeared to be a little


    jittery. Rachel had her movements in sight.


    Soon, they arrived at the door of the vi.


    “This is our stop. You can go in now, ma’am.” The woman stood at the entrance, smiling at Rachel as if


    she wasn’t the one who had just walked in a haste. Rachel cast a cautious nce at the closed door


    and her eyes darkened as she looked back at the woman. “Who’s inside?”


    “What?” The woman was taken aback by the question, and her smile froze. “I wasn’t walking in the


    wrong way, and the sign wasn’t broken, right? This isn’t the vi I want to go to, is it?” Rachel had a


    slight grin on her face. Her eyes, on the other hand, were cold and prating. Her deep stare jolted


    the woman, making her face turn pale.


    “Miss Be, I… I don’t understand what you mean.” The displeasure on Rachel’s face made the


    woman nervous. “How do you know myst name is Be?” Rachel’s eyes grew sharper.


    The woman’splexion turned paler. “I… I…” “Tell me, who sent you here? Why did you bring me


    here?” Rachel remained still in her ce, but she seemed to have everything under control. A bead of


    sweat on the woman’s brow rolled down from the corner of her forehead and eventually fell to the


    ground. “No one sent me here.” Her hands were clenched tightly. “Since you don’t want to tell me, I’ll


    take a guess.”


    The woman gulped in response when she heard Rachel’s remark. “Is it Susan? Did she ask you to take


    me here?” Rachel raised her eyes and gave her a firm look. The woman’s legs almost gave out as she


    heard Susan’s name, nearly falling to the ground. It was already obvious because of her body


    language, but she refused to admit it by shaking her head. “No, not at all!” “Why did Susan give you the


    order?” Rachel crossed her arms and started to take a few steps forward. Her tone was calm, but the


    aura she was giving off intimidated the woman in front of her.


    The woman bit her lower lip and shook her head continuously. “Even if you don’t admit it, do you think


    Susan will let you go once she learns that you haven’tpleted your task?” Rachel said with a faint


    smile.


    “No, that won’t happen. She isn’t going to make things difficult for me,” the woman mumbled. Then she


    noticed Rachel’s smug face. She quickly realized she had betrayed Susan and covered her mouth in


    shock. Rachel continued to stare her down, then she nced at the vi’s door once more with dark


    eyes. With a guilty huff, the woman lowered her head in disbelief. She didn’t dare to talk and tightly


    clenched her clothes. “Since you’re so stubborn, thene in with me,” Rachel coldly said. “No, no!”


    When the woman heard Rachel was going to drag her in, she abruptly raised her head, turned back,


    and attempted to flee. However, Rachel swiftly grabbed her arm. “Miss Be, please don’t…” The


    woman begged with teary eyes, knowing that she couldn’t get rid of Rachel. “I can’t go in.”


    You can’t? Why? I thought you said no one sent you? Aren’t you going to escort me inside?” Rachel


    looked at her coldly.


    There is a man inside…” the worker remarked in a trembling voice after a little pause.


    The trembling woman was afraid to continue, but Rachel was well aware of the situation. Miss Be,


    Miss Szar asked me to do this… I had no other choice. If I didn’t do this, I would lose my job. I have


    to take care of my grandma, so I can’t risk losing it.”


    And then?” Rachel raised a brow. “Pardon me?” The woman didn’t understand what she meant. “I don’t


    think Susan just wants me to spend a night with a man. What will happen if I go inside?”\


    The woman swallowed nervously and looked at Rachel with uneasiness. Finally, she began to speak.
