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 flashed across her eyes. This explained 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 slack 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.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtArthur 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 glance.
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 glanced 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
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDavid… 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.”
