Chapter 435

After treating the burn on Rachel’s leg, David looked at Rachel purposefully. “What are you trying to

do?” Rachel became nervous when she met his deep gaze.

David looked down at her with playful and longing eyes. He placed Rachel on the bed and wrapped his

arms around her waist, enveloping her in his arms. He pecked gently at Rachel’s ear with his lips and

whispered in his low and attractive. voice, “I want to sleep with my girlfriend.”

Rachel did not know what to say.

“What else do you think I want to do?” David said playfully. His tone was affectionate, like a gentle

feather tickling Rachel’s heart, and her body went weak. She could sense the tranquility in David’s aura

and felt inexplicably at ease. She took a deep breath to calm her emotions and said calmly, “How would

I know?” David wrapped her in his arms and caressed her back with his warm palm. He lowered his

voice and said softly, “Let’s sleep.”

He caressed her back gently and slowly, coaxing her to sleep like a child.

A smile appeared at the corner of Rachel’s eyes. Suddenly, she felt like teasing him. She stretched out

his finger and gently poked David’s Adam’s apple.

“Not sleepy?” David looked down at her with a hint of playfulness in his eyes. Rachel did not say

anything. Instead, she slowly closed her eyes.

As David listened to Rachel’s rhythmic and light breathing, he rose slowly and lifted the blanket. He

then got up from the bed.

After he walked out of the bedroom, he took out his phone and called Jimmy.

Jimmy was probably busy investigating the matter. The phone rang for a long while before it was finally

picked up.

The night air outside the window was as thick as ink. A gust of wind blew a fallen leaf off the ground.

The leaf swayed in the wind and landed in the pond.

“Did you find out anything?”

“The surrounding surveillance cameras have been wiped clean. There are no useful clues.” Jimmy said

and paused. “But I found something interesting.”

David retracted his gaze. His dark eyes were as icy as a cold lake. “What?”

“Hell was not hopping from place to place as we had thought. He has been in

Seaxas all this while.”

David’s eyes narrowed slightly. The expression in his eyes turned icy, and maliciousness formed in the

depths of his eyes. “Are there any valuable clues?”

“You know him best. He’s cun ning like a fox and sly as a wolf. No one knows his true intentions.”

Jimmy lit a cigarette and drew a deep puff. “But I found out that he met someone.”

Although Jimmy did not want to tell David everything, he did not have the guts to do so.

He paused and revealed to David everything that he had found out. “It’s Darcy. Rachel’s acquaintance.”

David knew who Darcy was.

He remembered it was Darcy who delivered the crown that Rachel auctioned for.

However, as Darcy’s true motives were unknown and David did not want to alert him, he decided not to

act against him yet.

From the looks of it now, it seemed like danger had been lurking around Rachel.

David tapped his finger lightly against the phone. “Did you arrest him?”

“No.” Jimmy replied, “After all, he is an acquaintance of Rachel’s. Rachel even entrusted him with

handling the proceeds from the auction. That goes to show how important he is to Rachel.”

How would he dare to arrest such a person hastily?

David’s expressions were hard to read. “Continue to send people to follow him and see what he wants!”
