Chapter 512

A guilty expression crossed Lucas’s face as he cast it on Rachel. His fear of Arthur’s walking stickmade him open up about being bribed by David.

He had assumed this issue had been resolved in secret. It still, surprisingly, reached Arthur’s ears.

When Rachel heard this, there was something else flashed across her eyes. This explained why Lucashad ceased asking about her and David.

It turned out that he was so guilty that he couldn’t speak up for himself.

With his walking staff, Arthur pounded loudly on the ground and roared, “You know he’s up to no good,and yet you continue to do business with him behind closed doors. Are you deliberately attempting top*ss me off?”

Lucas maintained his slack stance as if he didn’t give a d*mn about anything. “Grandpa, this matterisn’t as simple as you think. We’re just cooperating. It’s at best a win-win situation.”

Arthur snorted angrily. “I’m just worried that you’ll sell Rae-Rae out!”

Lucas lowered his head and murmured softly, “How can that be…”

He didn’t even need to sell her out.

Rachel would do what David told her to do as soon as he made a gesture.

He would never have the nerve to really say anything like that. Otherwise, he would be skinned alive assoon as the words left his mouth.

When Arthur turned back and saw Lucas, he was furious. He simply waved his hand and demanded,“Go, go, go. I’m annoyed just at the sight of you!”

Lucas sprang to his feet. As he turned to leave, he gave Rachel a quick glance.

Rachel immediately understood what he meant.

Arthur sipped from the coffee he left on the table after he departed to calm down the mood.

“Grandpa, why are you looking for me?” Rachel asked him.

Under her honest gaze, Arthur felt even harder at what he was going to tell her.

Hence, he picked up the cup again and took another sip of his coffee.

Since he had finished his cup of coffee, he had no choice but to put down the cup in his hand and saywith difficulty, “Rae-Rae, I know there are some things that I shouldn’t ask as your grandfather, but yourmother passed away early and had repeatedly instructed me to take good care of you, so…”

Rachel could tell that Arthur was in a difficult position. She smiled and said, “Grandpa, since when didwe have to be so polite with each other?”

When Arthur heard her, the stiffness in his face faded a bit, and a glimmer of relief could be seen in hiseyes.

He glanced at Mr. Chadwick.

Mr. Chadwick understood and turned to leave.

There were only Arthur and Rachel left in the living room.

Arthur sighed slightly. His gaze was unusually serious and grave as he asked, “Rae-Rae, tell me aboutyou and David… How far have you progressed?”

This question made Rachel, who was drinking her coffee, choke and cough. She never expected hergrandfather to ask about this.

Arthur knew that it was inappropriate for him to ask this question.

Nevertheless, it was unfortunate that there was no one else who could have filled the role ofappropriate candidate.

He didn’t want too many people to know about Rachel and David’s romance.

Rachel pursed her lips, not knowing how to answer.

“Rae-Rae, you think you understand him, but what you see might just be the tip of the iceberg. It’s justwhat he wants you to see.” Arthur looked at Rachel’s lowered head and couldn’t help but sigh, “Youhave no idea what being with him

means.”

“Grandpa, I…”

Before she could finish, Arthur cut her off, “I know what you want to say, but listen to my advice. Thismarriage is not suitable for you.”
