Chapter 1295 n B


    At full speed, Bernard rushed to the door of Rachel''s house. He turned the knob but it was locked. As


    he stood by the door, he noticed that the lights were off inside.


    Sensing that there was something wrong, he decided to break into the house. Inside, it was pitch ck.


    He felt for the light switch and pressed it on, but the lights did not work.


    With the shlight of his phone, he saw the living room was a mess. As he slowly moved towards the


    center, he stepped on the shards of ss. He looked down. The shards came from the fluorescent


    But, where is Rachel?'' Never in his life had he felt so worried. He quickly scanned the room. He wanted


    to find her as soon as possible. He was afraid to lose Rachel. He could not imagine his life without her.


    Meanwhile, Rachel was hiding behind the heavy curtains of the guest bedroom. She was so nervous


    that her palms were wet and her breathing was quick. And because she was so afraid that her


    breathing could be heard, she slightly opened her mouth and breathed through it. Suddenly, she heard


    footsteps. This time, she could hear her own heartbeats racing. She feared Death who was slowly


    approaching her.


    Earlier that night, she was waiting for Bernard''s news in her room. She was so tensed that it


    heightened her senses of her surroundings.


    As soon as she heard soundsing, she listened very carefully if those were from Bernard. She


    knew so well how Bernard''s footsteps sounded. Every time he came to see her, he was excited and


    nervous. So his footsteps sounded like one was heavy, the other was light.


    However, the footsteps she heard were so light that no one could hear them unless one was


    concentrating on the surrounding sounds. If she had not been so focused that night, she would not


    have heard them.


    She immediately took off her shoes, slowly walked to the guest bedroom and hid behind the heavy


    curtains. Though she knew it was unsafe to stay inside, she didn''t risk trying to escape. Her chances of


    staying alive was higher if she stayed put. Her other chance of survival was sending a text message to


    the police and hoping that they would arrive on time. Then, she put her phone in silent mode.


    In just a few minutes, Rachel heard the main door open. The footsteps continued walking and went


    straight to the master''s bedroom.


    Hired by Holley, the killer had monitored Rachel''s activities for quite some time. And, he had followed


    Rachel for a whole day. So, he found it unexpectedly not to find Rachel inside the house.


    But, he was so sure that Rachel was there. He never saw her leave.


    The killer thought that Rachel must had noticed the his presence and hid somewhere in advance. But,


    it didn''t really matter to him. He would y her game of hide and seek. Anyway, he was pretty confident


    he would find her easily in a small house.


    The killer knew just how to do an "emotional warfare." The more moves he made around the house, the


    more panic Rachel would feel, thus the higher chance it would be for that woman to reveal her hideout.


    Just thinking that there was a "cat" shivering somewhere made him feel alive and excited.


    So, the killer went to the living room and began to smash the decors and furniture. The crime would


    look like a case of burry.


    But to his surprise, everything remained still. The cat-and-mouse game became more interesting.


    ''Hide well. I''ming. I will surely find you in the end, '' the killer thought.


    And the killer walked towards the other bedroom. By now, Rachel was in total panic. The footsteps,


    faint but steady, were getting nearer and nearer. Her breathing seemed to get louder. And because she


    was so afraid to be heard, she held her breath to keep silent.


    Suddenly, she heard the main door open again. This time, she didn''t study the footsteps anymore. She


    knew it was a big chance that the neer was the killer''s partner. She just focused her remaining


    energy in staying alive by absolutely remaining still.


    At the same time, the killer was also aware of the new presence. To avoid exposure, he hid himself. He


    would wait for the right time to make his move.


    Seeing the chaos, Bernard called Rachel''s phone but she didn''t pick up. After the second attempt, he


    stopped trying to reach her. Instead, he focused on his surroundings. This time, he saw the footprints.


    He knew right away they didn''t belong to Rachel.


    His instincts also told him that both Rachel and the footprints'' owner were inside the house.


    Therefore, Bernard began to search every room carefully and quietly. When he entered the guest


    bedroom, he saw the curtain on the left side fluttered a bit, but there was no wind at the moment.


    ''So who is behind the curtain? Rachel? Or the killer?''


    Bernard approached slowly. Then, he drew the curtains aside.


    Panic-stricken, Rachel was unable to move when the curtains opened. The only thing she did was shut

    her eyes. When nothing happened, she slowly opened them. She saw Bernard looking at her. He


    hugged her. They both sighed in relief.


    Then, Rachel motioned to Bernard that there was still someone in the house.


    Holding Rachel''s hands tightly, Bernard led the way out of the house.


    The killer, hiding in a dark corner, realized it was Rachel''s rescuer who arrived. He missed his best


    opportunity. So, he could only watch them escape.


    Prepared, Bernard fled the house with Rachel and drove directly to the airport.


    Thinking of possible situations which might happen made Bernard prepare a n b. If something wrong


    really happened, Rachel and he could fly to Australia.


    And what happened that night made Bernard act on n b. It was definitely Australia.


    The moment the ne took off was the only time Bernard started to rx. However, it was short-lived


    when he saw Rachel''s far-off expression. He definitely didn''t know what to do.


    Rachel recalled everything happening to her. ying in her mind were all the countless regretful things.


    Now, she was on her way to a newnd. She felt confused and found her future bleak and gray.


    The only person she could rely on was Bernard. For that, she pitied herself!


    ''Whatever the future has in store for me, one thing is sure. I won''t give up! I promise I will return. I will


    get back what really belongs to me!''


    The ne slowly flew to the clouds, and the loud roar of the engines remained behind. Just like


    Rachel''s regrets which were left behind.


    The next day, Holley received the news that Rachel had fled. After sending someone to check the news


    out, she learned that Rachel and Bernard had gone to Australia.


    Although Holley failed to kill Rachel, she was still satisfied with the result. There wouldn''t be any trouble


    for her anymore.


    Even if they came back one day, she was sure that she would have already established her power in


    Tarsan Corporation by then. There was no way for Rachel to overpower her anymore.


    She could already imagine her bing so powerful in thepany. No one would ever try to cross


    or rebut her. That feeling absolutely fascinated Holley. She felt so light and wonderful after a long time.


    She could finally walk in thepany with her head held high, without worrying that someone would


    criticize her the next second.


    However, she realized she celebrated too early. When she went over thepany''stest updated


    equity statement, she found a surprising fact—Rachel sold all her shares to Rex Hu, ck''s father,


    before she left.


    Mentallyputing the thirty-five percent shares of Rex Hu from Rachel and ck''s twenty-five


    percent shares, they had sixty percent shares together. As a result, Hu''s shares were twenty percent


    more than her forty percent shares.
