Chapter 274

Chapter 274 She Was Black-Hearted!

The current signs showed that Darcy was lurking by Miss Grey’s side by deliberately hiding his identity.

They needed to take preventive measures in advance.

Hardly had Eddie finished speaking when David denied, “Don’t leak it to other people for the time

being.”

What David had said surprised Eddie.

After all, as far as he knew, Mr. Jones had always placed Miss Grey in the first place.

However, before Eddie could make up his mind, he heard David saying coldly, “Send someone to

protect her.”

“Yes,” Eddie said.

Rachel had thought that she could have a good time together with David during her one–week

vacation.

But she hadn’t expected that he would suddenly go on a business trip, and she was alone now.

She lay listlessly on the bed, watching videos on her cell phone.

There were sudden knocks on the door one after another, each more urgent

than the last.

“I’m Coming…” Rachel put on a set of clothes, walked out of the bedroom impatiently, and then opened

the door.

The moment the door opened and she saw Lucas, she could no longer hide the frustration on her face.

“Why are you here?”

“You haven’t eaten, have you?” Lucas said as he took out the packed breakfast from behind his back. “I

know you like to eat the bread baked at Jinkin’s Bakery, so I specially bought some for you. Eat it while

it’s still hot, please.”

Rachel raised her eyebrows slightly. “You came here just to deliver breakfast, didn’t you?”

“Don’t tell me that you’ve forgotten about my mom’s birthday party tonight?” Lucas asked.

“I’ve already prepared the gifts,” Rachel said as she walked into the

washroom to wash her face and rinse her mouth.

When she came out, she saw Lucas holding the crown and sizing it up.

She rushed forward. “Put it down! Put it down now!”

Lucas looked at her nervous expression and could not help but laugh. “Is that necessary? This is not

an ancient item.”

He watched Rachel carefully holding the crown and then putting it into the box. “There was news last

night that a mysterious tycoon spent a huge sum of money to buy the imitated queen’s crown that had

failed to be auctioned. off several times. Who would have thought that you were the tycoon?”

Rachel didn’t know what to say.

“Tell me the truth. Is there a treasure map hidden on it?” Lucas asked mysteriously.

According to his understanding of Rachel, he knew that she would never trade at a loss.

Since she had spent a huge sum of money to buy this crown, there must be some treasures on it that

ordinary people could not see.

Rachel took a big bite of the bread and said expressionlessly, “No comment!”

Lucas did not make a fuss when he heard her words. Instead, he sighed leisurely. “In that case, about

what you asked me to investigate…”

Rachel’s curiosity was piqued. Her gaze landed on Lucas immediately. “Have you found it?”

Lucas raised his eyebrows and smiled in an annoying way. “No comment!”

Rachel didn’t say anything.

Seeing Rachel’s half–smile, Lucas felt goosebumps all over his back.

Rachel looked weak and powerless, but Lucas knew that she was a black–hearted girl!

Perhaps she had already planned where to bury him.

Lucas was finally defeated. He took the initiative to explain everything in detail. “I rearranged the

timeline and investigated everything that happened at that point. At last, I really found a clue.”

“Do you still remember the shooting that attracted a lot of attention in

Phareborough five years ago? That night, they sallied forth in full force as if they were looking for

someone. They had planned to go after easy prey, but they hadn’t expected to be wiped out. So I think

the person who saved you that night should be the one they were looking for.”

“And then?” Rachel frowned.
