Chapter 765

It gave Rachel an indescribable feeling from the moment she first laid eyes on Yandel Smith.

Yandel looked gentle and approachable, but he was actually cold by

nature.

Just like at this moment, he seemed to be in the middle of the game, but in fact, everything was under

his control.

“How is it? Disappointed?” Lucas’ voice sounded.

Rachel looked at him with a meaningful smile in her eyes. “I didn’t put much hope in it, so why would I

be disappointed?”

As they were talking, Lucas’ phone suddenly rang.

Seeing that the call was from his uncle Warren Henry, he was slightly stunned. After gesturing to

Rachel, he stood up and walked outside to answer the call.

The corridor was quiet. Lucas walked to the recreation area by the rockery and sat down. He lit a

cigarette, crossed his legs, took a drag on the cigarette, and answered the phone.

As soon as he picked up the call, Warren’s voice came from the other end. “Lucas, something’s come

up.”

Lucas frowned slightly and asked casually, “What happened?”

Hearing this, Warren fell silent for a moment.

It was unknown whether he didn’t know how to speak or the following words were unspeakable.

He hesitated for a long time without saying anything. Lucas could not help but urge. “Uncle?”

“I’m here,” Warren quickly replied. He hesitated for a while and sighed deeply. “Harold Durham died just

now.”

Upon hearing this, Lucas tightened his grip on the cigarette. He narrowed his eyes, which flickered with

a strange coldness. “What happened?”

Chapter 763

With such a big incident, Warren did not dare to hide anything and told Lucas everything. “When the

patrolling police officers found him, he was already lying on the ground in a coma. He died when he

was sent to the hospital because he missed the best rescue time. According to the forensics, the cause

of death was a sudden cerebral hemorrhage.”

Sudden cerebral hemorrhage…

This illness really came at the right time…

Tomorrow, Harold would be handed over to the judiciary for

investigation. Coincidentally, he suddenly died of illness after Tom Johnson met him.

Harold deserved to die, but his death would definitely affect Warren Henry and Tom Johnson.

Lucas’ eyes were filled with hostility. He took a deep breath and asked in a low and hoarse voice,

“How’s the situation on your side?”

“They would give me a negligent punishment at most. What else can happen?” Warren said

dismissively. “Now that the criminal investigation. unit has already started investigating, we still have to

wait for the autopsy report of the forensic doctor. You don’t need to worry about me. I’m just worried

about your father.”

No matter what, Harold Durham died from a sudden illness after meeting Tom Johnson.

It was so coincidental that one had to think deeply about it.

After hanging up, Lucas sat on the sofa without moving.

If the incident weren’t controlled in time, this fire would sooner or later burn on his father, Tom Johnson.

The most important thing now was to determine the cause of Harold Durham’s death and find the

mastermind behind the poisoning!

Sparks flashed. The cigarette on Lucas’ fingertip had already burned out. The skin on his fingertip felt a

sharp burning sensation. He suddenly came back to his senses, and a trace of frustration appeared

between his eyebrows. He pressed the cigarette into the ashtray and extinguished it before standing up

and walking toward the private room.

Chapter 763

At the same time, Rachel received the news of Harold Durham’s death and was stunned.

“Looks like the food tonight isn’t to your liking.” A cold and gentle voice. came from above.

Rachel looked up, and her red lips curled into a half smile. “It was really very kind of you to care about

a nobody like me on such an occasion, Mr. Smith.”

Yandel Smith then pulled out a chair and sat beside Rachel.

His arm was naturally placed on the chair. The sleeves of his white shirt were rolled up, revealing his

fair skin. Every move he made exuded the elegance and nobility of a noble young sir.

Rachel looked straight into his eyes fearlessly. Her calm expression exuded a confident glow,

complementing her innate cold and arrogant temperament, giving off an aura of unapproachability.

Yandel stared at Rachel’s face. The narrow corners of Rachel’s eyes slightly tilted upward, carrying a

hint of bewitching charm. “Miss Grey, you are indescribably beautiful. No wonder you could attract

others’ attention. Since we’re eating at the same table, why are you treating me like an outsider? If you

don’t mind, why don’t you call me by my name?”

Rachel smiled insincerely. “I’m just an ordinary person.”

“Miss Grey, you’re too modest.” Yandel Smith’s burning gaze was fixed on Rachel’s face.

Rachel was not in the mood to keep speaking in riddles with him. She simply went straight to the point.

“It’s kind of you to put on such a big show tonight. Mr. Smith.”

Yandel Smith looked innocent. “Miss Grey, why do you say that?”

When Rachel saw his face, the word “hypocrite” instantly popped up in her mind.

“Harold Durham’s death was definitely related to Yandel Smith.

“From the moment Yandel appeared at the police station to the time we ate at the same table,

everything was within his plan.

Chapter 763

“Even if someone suspected him later, with us acting as his alibi, he could perfectly avoid all suspicion.

“On the other hand. Harold Durham suddenly died after meeting Tom, so the suspicion naturally fell on

my uncle Tom.

“It had to be admitted that this Yandel was really good at scheming!” Rachel thought.

Rachel looked at Yandel. Her raised eyebrows carried her unique charm. but her eyes were filled with

mockery. “Sorry, I need to go to the

restroom.

With that, she stood up and left.

“What a coincidence! I’m going outside to get some fresh air. Why don’t we go together?” As he spoke,

Yandel followed Rachel unhurriedly.

Rachel frowned slightly. She ignored him and walked out.

She hated people with no sense of boundaries.

Coincidentally, she bumped into Lucas Johnson, who had just returned from outside.

Seeing the two of them walk out of the private room one after another, Lucas knitted his brows

imperceptibly.

I have something to tell you.” He looked at Rachel.

Rachel nodded.

At this moment, chaotic footsteps came from one end of the corridor, and the staff respectfully said,

“Please come in, gentlemen.”

Looking in the direction of the voice, they saw Jimmy Shain with a group

of his men.

Jimmy Shain and Landon Walker walked at the front while David Jones followed behind.

The black suit David was wearing was meticulously ironed, and the well-tailored design accentuated

his tall and straight figure.

He casually put one hand in his pocket and walked with slow and light

Chapter 765

steps. His innate nobility couldn’t be hidden.

When Jimmy Shain saw Rachel, he subconsciously smiled and prepared to go forward to greet her.

However, when he saw Yandel Smith standing beside Rachel, his smile froze, and he subconsciously

looked at David Jones.

There was no change in David’s expression, but a terrifying cold aura was lingering around him as if

the surrounding air had frozen into a layer of

fine ice.

David was angry.
