Chapter 454
Darcy stared at the elevator for a moment before turning around and walking straight to Arthur’s ward.
The moment Darcy appeared, Arthur’s expression became solemn.
Arthur glanced at Adrian. “Go outside and wait.”
Upon hearing this, Adrian looked up at Arthur and then at Darcy before getting up to leave.
After the door closed, Darcy came straight to the point and asked, “Miss Grey is still unwilling to break off the
engagement, isn’t she?”
At the mention of this, Arthur could not help sighing, “You’ve watched her up. You should know her temper.”

As long as Rachel decided on something, it would not be easy for her to change it. Back in those years, Rachel did
not hesitate to cut ties with the Johnson family because she was engrossed in entering the Smith family, which

the Smith family in the end.
Darcy’s expression darkened when he heard what Arthur had said. Darcy said in a serious tone, “You should know
what it means once she and David get married.”
“Of course, I know!” Arthur looked at Darcy sharply, “I’m more anxious than you. She’s the only child that Sophia
left behind. I want to protect her more than anyone else!”
Though Rachel kept her surname Grey, her basic necessities of life had always been better than anyone else in the
Johnson family.
It was not only because Arthur doted on her, but also because he had treated her like a daughter for all these
years.
Darcy stared at Arthur for a moment and said calmly, “I hope you can keep your word.”
Arthur frowned slightly and calmed himself down. “Why did you come here suddenly?”
“Miss Sophia’s ashes have been found,” said Darcy.
Arthur suddenly sat up and looked at Darcy seriously. “Have you found out who did it?”
Darcy’s eyes flickered slightly. Without changing his expression, he said, “No, I haven’t.”
Hearing this, Arthur frowned imperceptibly. “Since that’s the case, I’ll have to
trouble you to temporarily deliver Sophia’s ashes back to the Johnson family. When the time comes, I’ll relocate and
bury her ashes.”
“Okay.” Darcy said, “Then I’ll take my leave now”
Arthur nodded slightly and then stared quietly at Darcy’s back as Darcy left. Arthur suddenly said, “Do you still
remember why the Johnson family took you in back then?”
When hearing this, Darcy stopped and then turned to look at Arthur. “I can’t repay the Johnson family for its
kindness in this life.”
“I want you to remember not only the Johnson family’s kindness but also the promise you made back then. I hope
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmyou can keep your word. Otherwise, if something bad happens, Rae-Rae will not forgive you!”
His words were no different from a warning to Darcy.
Darcy’s expression changed a little, but it quickly returned to normal. “Even if there is a mountain of swords and a
sea of flames, I will protect Miss Grey!”
With that, he turned around and left.
Arthur looked at his back and smiled coldly. His hawk-like sharp eyes were filled with a deep meaning.
Darcy was lying just now!
Darcy had probably been involved in the theft of Sophia’s ashes. Otherwise, how could he bring them back intact
while the Johnson family had investigated for so long without finding any clues?
Moreover, Darcy claimed to know nothing about the mastermind.
Arthur thought, “The mastermind is probably related to Darcy!
“Darcy deliberately approached Rachel back then, but he had told me the truth. I worried that Darcy would play
tricks behind my back, so I thought that it would be safer to keep him under my watch. Therefore, I took advantage
of the situation and kept him in the Johnson family.
“But now, it seems that Darcy might not have told all of the truth back then..
Arthur slowly leaned against the headboard of the bed and stared at the ceiling above his head, deep in thought.
