Chapter 29: I Have Never Doubted You
Trapped By Tainted Love
After hearing Rachelâs answer just now, Quintin was almost certain that she was Shelia, who had been pronounced to be dead.
"We managed to complete our mission.But before we left, we made a mistake and didnât clean up all our traces.Our enemies took advantage of it and found a way to pinpoint our location.In order to get revenge, they intercepted our escape halfway.You were shot in the abdomen and left thigh respectively, and my shoulder was cut.Fortunately, the rescue team arrived in time to save us," Rachel replied after a moment of contemplation.
Suddenly, the memories came flooding into Quintinâs mind.
He lowered his head, feeling guilty and regretful.
In a hoarse voice, he said, "Boss, Iâm so sorry..."
He was the one to blame for the mistake they made that time.
His carelessness and underestimation of their rivals gave the enemies the chance to track the two of them down, and it mightâve led to their deaths.
"Now, do you believe me?"
Rachel knew that this was a thorn in Quintinâs heart, so she quickly changed the topic.
"Boss,"
Quintin stammered.
"Boss, you really are alive! Iâm so glad youâre still alive!"
Rachel was surprised to hear Quintinâs statement.
Judging from what he said, it seemed that he always believed that Shelia was still alive.
"Boss, where are you right now? What happened to you? And why did Wallace say that you died because of an infectious disease in prison? Oh, by the way, did you know that Wallace and Tara are now together?".
Quintin gritted his teeth in anger.
"Your best friend has been fooling around with your fiance.They got the marriage certificate not long after your funeral.They also said that it wouldnât be appropriate for them to hold a wedding ceremony shortly after your death.They said theyâd just get a marriage license for the time being, and delayed the wedding for your sake.Bah! Theyâre despicable! Quintin spat.Upon hearing that revelation, Rachel sneered.
âI died of an infectious disease? I had just died and these contemptuous bastards couldnât wait to get married! Well, they taught me a lesson Iâll never forget.I lost my life because I failed to see what kind of people they really were.Wallace, Tara, you better live well and wait for me to settle the score with you!â
"Itâs a long story, Quintin.Iâll tell you everything in detail when I have the chance."
At the moment, Rachelâs eyes were filled with hatred.
"Well, uh...Where are you right now, boss? Iâm coming to get you!"
Quintin couldnât wait to see Shelia, for he wanted to know what was going on.
"I have something important to do at the moment, but Iâll tell you my side of story after I complete this task."
Rachel still needed some time to think about how sheâd explain to Quintin that she was now living in someone elseâs body.
This phenomenon was indeed mysterious and unbelievable.
"All right.Boss, if you run into any problems, just contact me right away.Iâll do everything in my power to help you."
Quintin didnât ask her any more questions.
He had been following Shelia for several years, and I Have Never Doubted You he knew her very well.
There was no way he could get an answer out of her if she didnât want to reveal anything "Quintin, I want you to investigate a person for me."
"Who is it?"
"The KD Groupâs project manager."
Rachelâs eyes glinted as she continued, "I want to know this personâs identity.Thereâs no info about this person on the Internet, but I have a feeling that the allianceâs database might have an info on this one."
The Red Hackers was an alliance gathered the very best hackers all over the world.
It was an international organization, and it wasnât controlled by any country.
An organization like that was prone to be targeted by many people with ill intentions.
But ever since the allianceâs establishment, none had defeated it.
In addition to the fact that the alliance had the best hackers in the world, their enemies also feared the allianceâs database.
Their database spanned across several topics, ranging from insignificant robbery records on the street to confidential information of every country.
Thus, if there was a place to find any clues or even the complete set on the identity of KD Groupâs project manager, the database was the only one that could supply that information.
"The KD Group? Is that the company that digs stones?" asked Quintin.
âDigs stones?â Rachel was amused by the way he phrased his description.
âWell, technically, the diamond is just a precious stone, so itâs fair to say that the KD Group is specialized in digging stones.â
"Yep," said Rachel.
"I see.When do you want it?"
Hearing that Quintin agreed without hesitation, Rachel paused and said, "Donât you want to know why I want to investigate this person?"
"Thereâs nothing to be curious about," Quintin remarked.
It was as if he had made it his duty to carry out Sheliaâs orders without question.
"Boss, since youâre the one asking me to investigate it, there must be something about this person that youâre interested in.If you donât want to tell me why youâre doing this, I wonât ask any questions because I believe in you."
A smile appeared on Rachelâs face when she heard him say that.
"Send me all the information you can find on this person before seven oâclock tomorrow morning."
"Got it, boss.Iâll complete the task in time,"
Quintin exclaimed.
As Rachel stared at Quintinâs username, her face became serious.
"Quintin."
"What else can I do for you, boss?".
"Thank you.Thanks for trusting me and helping me without hesitation."
Shelia was so apathetic to everything that everyone started describing her as coldâblooded.
Six years ago, she asked Quintin to be her minion and call her his boss just because he proved her in public.
She always sought revenge for the smallest offenses.
Knowing that Quintin was a proud man, she knew that his self âesteem would be destroyed if he was forced to be someoneâs lackey.
But now, six years had passed and Shelia was still the boss, and Quintin was still her obedient minion.
Was their bond that strong? It seemed that Quintin had feelings for her.
but Shelia did not feel the same way.
During her three years I Have Never Doubted you in prison, Quintin visited her many times, but she refused to see him every time.
It wasnât because she didnât want him to worry about her; it was actually because Shelia didnât want to see him, for she thought it wasnât necessary.
However, in the end, her most trusted confidants, her fiance, and her best friend, had killed her.
Meanwhile her minion whom she cared so little about held so much faith in her, and was now the only one helping her.
Suddenly, Shelia thought, âMy life is a joke! Itâs so fucking ridiculous.â
"Boss, honestly, Iâve always wanted to tell you that I never doubted you.Whether itâs in the past or now, even if you donât want to tell me the truth, I still believe that you never committed that crime three years ago.Youâre definitely not the kind of person who will betray the alliance.If I had been in the headquarters back then, I wouldnât have let them incriminate you so easily! Iâll keep investigating, and someday, Iâll figure out who framed you.Iâll collect every evidence I can gather to prove that youâre not a traitor!"
Quintin clenched his fists, trying to suppress his anger.
Rachelâs eyes glinted with malice.
"The person who framed me, huh? Thereâs nobody else whoâll do that to me other than that shameless couple!â In the past, Shelia thought that it mightâve been the people she had offended in the past years that had framed her as a form of revenge.
She never suspected Wallace and Tara.
But now, she was certain that they were the ones who had set her up three years ago.
Sadly, there was no evidence to support her claims.
"Quintin, thereâs one more thing."
"Whatâs it?"
"Keep an eye on Wallace and Tara for me.I want to know what theyâre up to."
Rachelâs eyes looked like a bottomless abyss at the moment.
