Chapter 225 Meeting in the Hotpot Restaurant
Chapter 225 Meeting in the Hotpot Restaurant
When Rachel was about to scream, she smelled a familiar man's breath. Then a low voice came over her head, "Can't you even walk well?"
Rachel was a little annoyed. When she raised her head and was about to refute, she met with the dark and cold eyes of Clark.
"You?" Rachel was a little surprised.
Clark gave a hint to Mindy, and she left immediately.
Clark grabbed her wrist, turned around and pulled her into a nearby box.
"What are you doing?" Rachel struggled to ask.
Clark let go of her and said coldly, "I just had an appointment with Amanda. Would you like to have dinner with us?"
Rachel turned around and saw that there were all kinds of ingredients for the hot pot on the table.
"How do you know I am here?" Rachel raised her head and asked.
But Clark said indifferently, "Don't flatter yourself. I was about to have dinner here, but I ran into you in the bathroom just now."
"I thought it was Mindy who told you." A bitter smile appeared on her face. Yes, she was flattering herself.
Clark had never been narcissistic?
"Sit down and eat with me. I'll tell you the truth of the prison," Clark said coldly.
With her eyes wide open, Rachel asked, "Are you serious?"
Clark nodded firmly.
Rachel immediately took out her phone and called Chester, "I just met a friend. I'll be back in ten minutes after eating here. You can eat first. Don't wait for me!"
After saying that, she hung up the phone decisively, without waiting for him to ask more.
Chester was stunned by the phone call. How could Rachel meet a friend here? What friend?
Seeing his expression, Joe immediately understood what happened. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's eat first. Rachel will be here soon."
"What kind of friend can she meet?" Chester asked with doubt.
Joe looked at Chest with a smile, replying, "Do you really want to guess? Directors, actors, producers who had cooperated with her before, relatives and friends...... If you really want to spend time suspecting it, you will be very busy. Which female star doesn't have any social circle?"
Chester was still confused with his eyebrows furrowed.
Joe continued to comfort him, "The goddess you are chasing is a very independent person. If you keep monitoring and controlling her, it will only be the opposite. Instead, she will hate you more and stay away from you! So, the only thing you can do is to respect her and love her. That's all."
Chester sighed, picked up his chopsticks and began to eat hot pot, but he didn't know the taste at all.
On the other side, in another box, Clark was eating happily and had a good appetite, as if she hadn't had a good meal for a long time.
Sitting next to him, Rachel looked at him strangely and asked, "When are you going to tell me about my parents?"
"When I'm full. You can eat too!" Clark said casually.
Rachel was a little annoyed. She was about to question him if he deliberately delayed the dinner because he heard that she would only be here for ten minutes on the phone.
But on second thought, he just said that she was flattering herself. If she asked so, he would probably use a "narcissistic" to describe her.
"Okay, you must tell me after the meal, or I will tell Grandpa Peter about this!" With a resentful look at him, Rachel picked up her chopsticks and began to eat.
In fact, she had been hungry for a long time. As soon as she tasted the delicious food, she couldn't stop eating. She enjoyed it more than Clark.
"Well, food in this hotpot restaurant is really delicious!" Rachel praised while eating.
Although she was also very nervous about her parents' case. After all, she had tracked it for a long time and could not push him too much, so she had the patience to accompany him to eat first.
"Is it really delicious?" Clark stopped eating and turned to look at her, only to find that she was too happy with eating to care about her image and her mouth was stained with a lot of oil.
Rachel nodded and continued to gobble down the food. "That's right. I haven't eaten hot pot for a long time. If it weren't for the gossip, I wouldn't have been so hungry and went crazy when I saw delicious food."
If others heard Rachel's ridicule, they would laugh.
But it sounded a little harsh to Clark.
After all, it had something to do with him that she went up and fell heavily. It was because of the matter of Anna that she was dragged down from the cloud.
Clark stopped eating and said lightly, "Your parents didn't commit suicide."
Stunned, she forgot to eat and asked, "How did they die?"
She knew that her parents were not cowards. It was impossible for them to commit suicide when they were wronged, so that they would never have a chance to clear their grievances!
Clark remained silent for a long time and stared at her.
"What do you want to do if you know the truth?"
"Of course I'm going to kill my enemy. I want to prove my parents' innocence!"
However, to her surprise, Clark shook his head and said, "This case has been passed for too long. Even if we can find the witness, it is very difficult to reverse the verdict because it has been passed for too long. I have asked Mr. Kim and he said the chances of success are very slim."
Rachel put down the chopsticks and fell into deep thought.
After a long time, she said, "If we really can't reverse the verdict, then let the murderer get the deserved punishment!"
Clark fell into silence.
Rachel poked his hand with her elbow and asked, "You haven't told me yet. How did my parents die?"
"Poison."
Clark raised his head and looked at her coldly without any expression on his face. It was hard to tell whether he was lying or not.
But Rachel believed it without hesitation. Poisoning was the most normal way that Anthony and Teresa would do.
"How dare the Yan Family be so unscrupulous? I won't let them go!" A resolute expression appeared on Rachel's face. It could be seen that she had really made up her mind to uphold justice for her parents.
"You don't need my help?" Clark asked in a soft tone.
However, Rachel] shook her head and said, "No, thanks for telling me the truth, which makes me more sure that Anthony and Teresa killed my parents! Sooner or later, I will let them pay the same price!"
Then she stood up and walked towards the door.
After taking two steps, she turned around and asked Clark in confusion, "Didn't you say that Amanda would come to have hotpot with you? Why hasn't she arrived yet?"
Clark replied expressionlessly, "She just sent a message and said she was too busy to eat."
With a skeptical look at him, Rachel said, "Then take your time. I'll go back first."
Clark didn't say anything but nodded slightly.
After returning to the room of Chester, Rachel sat down again and asked the two people with pretended ease, "How is it? Did you eat well?"
After being taught a lesson by Joe just now, Chester restrained his emotions and asked indifferently, "It's delicious. Are you full over there?"
"Not yet," said Rachel, picking up her chopsticks and eating the hot pot again. "I just talked with my friend for a while, and I just ate a few. This hotpot tastes really good!"
"Of course," replied Joe casually, "This is the hot pot restaurant under the name of the Ji Group. It's always difficult to book a table, because the food here tastes so good that there are many customers coming back after trying it for one time."
"Is this the hotpot restaurant of the Ji Group?" Rachel asked in surprise.
Joe nodded, asking, "Yes, don't you know? The Ji Group is really engaged in all kinds of industries, such as clothing industry, catering industry, real estate, entertainment industry and so on. As long as there is money to make, there will be the Ji Group! Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Otherwise, how could the Ji Group take up half of the economic income of the M city? Even the heir of the Ji Group was praised as a 'business genius who controls the economic lifeline of M city'! His power sweeps over the whole M city! There is nothing he can't do!"
