Chapter 818
With a smile, Rachel looked up at Noah and said, “I’m sorry. I have no time for you and I’m not interested as well.”
After finishing her sentence, Rachel turned around and left.
As Noah watched Rachel leave, Noah shouted indignantly, “Are you really not interested, or are you worried that you will know too much?”
Hearing Noah’s words, Rachel paused in her tracks. Turning around to look at Noah, Rachel said nonchalantly, “I recalled that Mr. Jones mentioned in person that riveting things are usually more interesting when they are revealed at the last. Why are you losing your cool now?” It was obvious that Rachel’s words were filled with mockery and sarcasm.
Despite hearing Rachel’s mockery, Noah had no time to care about this. now as he only wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
As long as Noah was not banished from the country, there was still hope for him and room for negotiation.
“Don’t you want to know the relationship between Mrs. Olson and David?” Noah asked. “Besides, other than me, there’s no one who will tell you about this!” Noah added.
Noah’s tone was resolute. It was as though Noah was certain and expected Rachel to change her mind after hearing his words.
However, Noah had underestimated Rachel.
With narrowed eyes, there was a glint that flashed in Rachel’s eyes when she said, “Even if I want to know about it, I will not want to hear it from you. You’re the last person whom I would listen to regarding this matter.”
Rachel, being smart, already had a vague idea of what had happened just from listening to the bits and pieces from Noah.
“Mrs. Olson, David’s father, and David…
“Mrs. Olson should be David’s biological mother. As for why Mrs. Olson became the Olson family patriarch’s wife rather than the Jones family patriarch’s wife, it was probably because of a melodramatic love-hate relationship.” Rachel thought to herself.
However, Rachel was too lazy to continue investigating.
Besides, rather than letting her imagination run wild and making
random guesses, Rachel hoped that David would tell her in person in the future.
“If David wanted to tell me about it, I’m willing to be his loyal listener. However, if David doesn’t wish to tell me, I will definitely kill my curiosity without hesitation.” Rachel thought inwardly.
“Mr. Jones, since you’ve given me so much advice, I’ll give you a piece of advice as well,” Rachel said. “Instead of trying so hard to twist the facts. and sow discord here, why don’t you think about your plans after you’re banished from the country?”
After finishing her sentence, Rachel opened the door of the interrogation room and walked out.
Until now, Noah still could not figure out why he could not outsmart Rachel although he had been so smart for most of his life.
Noah was so confident that the trump card that he was holding could save him at this critical moment. Noah was caught by surprise that his trump card completely ignored his life and death.
Ultimately, Julian was sentenced for several crimes, including rape, personal threats, and smuggling within the country.
On the other hand, Noah was deemed to be highly suspicious and threatened the interest of the nation. Noah was not allowed to step foot on Crucsia ever again for the rest of his life.
After everything was settled, Rachel and the others set off on their way. back to Seaxas.
On the plane, everyone’s faces were filled with joy.
If they could get a spot in the Skysgate Group this time, what awaits them would be a promotion and a raise.
Who could remain calm at the thought of that?
Of course, there were always exceptions.
Carolina did not feel happy.
Previously, Carolina did not pay much attention to working together as a team. In addition, Carolina often stabbed her teammates in the back, causing everyone to complain about her. However, considering that they

would still cross paths with each other, the rest of the team still had to maintain a good relationship with Carolina on the surface.
Ever since Carolina had been taken away at the summit that day, everyone could not be bothered to even put on a pretense. Hence, Carolina was completely isolated from her team.
Carolina knew very well that after she returned to Seaxas, she would be reported, severely scolded, and even fired. Since Carolina knew that she will be fired, she decided to give up and drop her pretense.
Seeing that everyone was sending memes to each other in the group chat, Carolina couldn’t help but say sourly, “Why are you all so happy just because of a few dollars? All of you must have been beggars in your past. lives!”
“Oh well. Of course, we’re not as capable as you.” One of the women. retorted bluntly and smirked. “We were unable to be recognized by Mr. Julian and did not manage to get 2 million dollars as a reward. We also were unable to experience a day trip to the police station.”
Carolina was speechless.
However, Carolina knew that she was in the wrong, so she did not say anything else.
After more than two hours of traveling, the plane finally landed steadily at the Seaxas International Airport.
At the airport exit. After Rachel parted ways with Linda and the others, she brought Aileen and Chris to the private hospital.
When Vulture heard that Aileen was coming, he became easily distracted. and smoked one cigarette after another.
As Vulture continued to smoke, the cigarette butts that were on the ground begin to accumulate at an alarming rate.
After a long period of time, Vulture saw a familiar figure from the corner of his eye.
Vulture took the cigarette out of his mouth and casually threw it on the ground. After stepping on the cigarette for a few times to extinguish it, Vulture quickly stepped forward.
As soon as Vulture approached, Rachel could smell a strong smell of smoke that was coming from him. With her eyebrows slightly furrowed,
Chapter 818.
Rachel asked, “At the rate that you’re smoking, the whole factory that produces cigarettes would have gone bankrupt.”
Vulture looked embarrassed and said, “I… accidentally smoked too much.”
Hearing Vulture’s words, there was a meaningful look on Rachel’s face when she told Vulture, “Well, that’s pretty careless of you.”
Vulture raised his hand and scratched his head absently. Glancing
around, Vulture asked carefully, “Where’s Aileen?”
“Aileen’s right behind me,” Rachel said. Turning her body slightly, Rachel indicated that Vulture should look behind her.
Aileen was wearing a black velvet long dress. The lace at the hem and cuffs of her dress made Aileen look sweet and elegant.
Her long hair was scattered behind her, and Aileen wore a diamond hair clip.
Aileen was holding a parasol in her hand as she steadily walked over from afar. Under the sun, Aileen looked like an elegant and noble black
swan.
Vulture stared fixedly at Aileen who was walking towards him until she stood right in front of him. Aileen looked at Vulture and said, “Don’t look at me like that. It’s as if you are interested in me…”
Before Aileen could finish her sentence, Vulture suddenly rushed forward and hugged her tightly.
The sudden and unexpected embrace shocked Aileen. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Unlike Aileen’s usual behavior, there was a rare hint of gentleness in Aileen’s eyes and her gaze softened visibly. Aileen felt that her heart was thumping wildly out of control.
Just as Aileen carefully raised her hand and was about to respond, Vulture suddenly let go of her. Raising his hand, Vulture gave a heavy pat on Aileen’s shoulder and said, “Tonight, let’s drink to our heart’s content! We’ll not go home until all of us are drunk!”
Aileen came back to her senses and looked down to mask the emotions in her eyes. Pursing her lips, Aileen repeated absent-mindedly, “We’ll not go home until all of us are drunk.”
“You guys can go ahead and talk. I’ll be taking a call. Rachel interrupted
the two of them timely and walked away to take her call.
After the call was connected, Lucas’s voice sounded from Rachel’s phone. “It’s such a coincidence that you had asked me to investigate Mrs. Olson last night. They left Seaxas last night.”
“They left Seaxas?” Rachel asked as she frowned. Pursing her lips, Rachel pondered for a moment before asking Lucas, “Did you manage to have any findings?”
“The news about Yandel has been blocked. It wasn’t until Yandel left last night that I found some clues through the surveillance cameras.” Lucas lit a cigarette and said unhurriedly, “Yandel’s left shoulder should be injured. As for the extent of the injury, we are unable to know about the details at this point in time. However, the hospital’s team of specialists was mobilized last night. It can’t be a small injury.”
Rachel grunted a reply and hung up the call.
“It so happens that Yandel had suffered from a serious injury and left Seaxas just before I came back. Was it a coincidence or was it deliberate?” Rachel pondered.
