Chapter 745

Adrian Johnson snorted angrily. Tve doted on you for nothing all these years!”

“You can’t say that.” Rachel sat back on the sofa. As she opened the file, she said, “Jessica has always

been cold on the outside but warm on the inside. She doesn’t mean what she The more she shows that

she doesn’t care, the more she cares in her heart. If you stick to this rule, I guarantee that you will be

able to get the beauty back.”

says,

Hearing this, a look of contemplation flashed across Adrian’s eyes under the glasses. Meanwhile,

Rachel was focused on reading the information that Adrian handed her.

She skimmed through the contents and her red lips could not help but curl into a faint and cold smile.

“Since you’ve investigated thoroughly, why didn’t you submit the investigation report to the court?”

As long as this information was submitted, Rachel was certain that Olivia would spend the rest of her

life in prison.

Adrian took off his glasses and wiped them slowly. “The evidence we have can only prove that Olivia

can’t get pregnant, but we can’t deny the existence of the child in her belly.

Upon hearing this, Rachel frowned slightly. She placed the file on the table and pondered, “This indeed

doesn’t add up. Logically speaking, since Olivia had been diagnosed by the doctor as infertile for life,

how could she be pregnant? Even if a miracle really happened to her, how did the imprisoned Olivia get

pregnant?”

“She is now pregnant. According to the regulations, for those who have been sentenced to fixed-term

imprisonment or detention and who are pregnant, they may be temporarily released on parole.”

In the current situation, Adrian had no choice but to comfort Rachel. “Time can prove everything. After

ten months of pregnancy, we will eventually know the answer.

Once the child was born, Olivia could still be brought to justice.

She could not possibly keep getting pregnant just to avoid punishment.

Adrian said, “Her mobility has been greatly restricted, so there’s no need to worry too much.”

Hearing this, Rachel pursed her lips gently. “I’m not worried. I’m just a little upset. She had many ways

to punish Olivia, but she would never cross the line.

It was precisely because of this that she could only watch as Olivia got away with it.

Adrian seemed to have suddenly thought of something and chuckled. “Isn’t it more interesting with her

around?”

Upon hearing this, a hint of interest appeared in Rachel’s eyes.

Adrian explained the Smith family’s recent situation to Rachel in detail. “Mr. Smith was hurriedly taken

to the hospital a while ago and his health had been deteriorating rapidly. The members of the Smith

family were afraid that if he passed away, their inheritance would be seized by the eldest son’s family.

They were all fighting with each other like roosters in a cockfight, especially after they found out that

Olivia was pregnant and it was highly likely that the child would be the legitimate heir, Each one of them

secretly hoped

for something bad to happen to the baby.

“So we don’t have to keep an eye on it, and we don’t need to take much effort too. We just have to wait

and see.”

No matter how members of the Smith family fought and how Olivia struggled, Adrian and Rachel would

be the ones who had the last laugh.

“By the way, do you want to go home for your birthday this year?” Adrian asked as he carefully

observed the expression on Rache’s face.

The faint smile on Rachel’s lips instantly disappeared. She lowered her eyes and fell silent for a few

seconds before saying calmly. “We’ll see.”

Since her mother Sophia chose to commit suicide on her birthday, Rachel has never celebrated her

birthday again.

Because she did not know if she should celebrate her birthday or mourn for her mother.

Seeing Rachel Grey’s cold attitude, Adrian already had an answer in his mind.

He gazed upon Rachel with a hesitant expression, the silence stretching on for what seemed like an

eternity. Finally, he spoke with the utmost caution, “Rae-Rae, she is who she is and you are who you

are. Why burden yourself with guilt and self-blame?”

Rachel did not say anything. She just glanced at the time on her phone. “It’s getting late. I’ll go back

first.”

Adrian could not say anything else. He looked at Rachel’s back and did not forget to remind her, “By

the way, remember to go back and see Mr. Johnson.”

“Got it.”

When Rachel walked out of Adrian’s firm, she happened to bump into the receptionist who had been

fired.

When the receptionist saw Rachel, she vented all her grievances and resentment on the spot. “Miss

Grey, right? I know you’re from a noble family and can ruin my job with a word, but please understand

the suffering of the people at the bottom, okay? It’s Mr. Johnson’s order to refuse to meet guests

without an appointment. If you feel humiliated, flare up at Mr. Johnson, and don’t implicate me!

“Just because I stopped you according to the rules, you asked Mr. Johnson to fire me. Isn’t that too

domineering?!”

She looked at Rachel with tears in her eyes, her words filled with resentment.

Rachel’s exquisite eyes turned cold. “You keep using the rules and regulations as an excuse. Then I

want to ask you, first, did you ask Mr. Johnson for instructions immediately after I explained my

intentions? Second, did you call Mr. Johnson after I revealed my identity? Third, as a receptionist at the

front desk, you have the obligation to receive everyone who comes to this firm, but you didn’t!”

Upon hearing Rachel’s words, the expression on the receptionist’s face kept changing, showing her

inner turmoil.

“You’ve belittled me time and time again, and as a receptionist, you didn’t do your duty well. So I want

to ask you, what reason does this firm have to continue hiring you?”

From beginning to end, Rachel’s tone was light and nonchalant. She maintained a faint

smile on her face. There was no obvious aggression, but her words carried an aggressive

aura.

The receptionist was rendered speechless. Her eyes were filled with panic as she looked around at a

loss.

Seeing that no one was around to help, she pursed her lips and said with difficulty, “Miss Grey, I’m

sorry. I know I was wrong. I really need this job.”

“If you really need this job, you will never treat it the way you treated me before.” Rachel did not want to

make things difficult for anyone, but she would not allow anyone to be rude to her.

When she walked out of the law firm, she was slightly stunned to see Chris standing at the door.

Before she could speak, Chris was the first to speak. “Sir asked me to follow you in the future.”

With that, he walked straight to the car, opened the door, and gestured for Rachel to get in. Rachel

looked at Chris and raised her eyebrows slightly. There was a meaningful look in her

eyes.

Chris’ submissive and obedient appearance did not seem like an act.

However, Rachel could not help but wonder how David managed to make Chris so obedient and

subservient in front of her.

She walked down the steps and bent down to get into the car. She heard Chris ask, “Miss Grey, are

you going to the office or going back to the Johnson family?”

“Return to the Johnson family first,” Rachel said.

It was not easy for her to come back. She had to visit her grandfather.

She took a deep breath as if she was mentally preparing herself.
