Chapter 661

“Tell me, where did you go so late at night!” Old Mr. Johnson’s deep voice was filled with intimidation.

After all, he used to be the overlord of the business world when he was young. Even though he was oldnow, he was still as imposing as before.

Hearing this, Rachel secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

She had thought that her date with David had been exposed.

She calmed her inner panic and walked forward with a smile. “I didn’t go anywhere. I just went out andrelaxed.”

“Relaxed?” Old Mr. Johnson snorted angrily. “Do you think I don’t know that you went on a date behindmy back?

Rachel pouted and muttered in a low voice, “Why did you still ask me when you already knew?”

“You!” Old Mr. Johnson glared at her while he was anxious for Rachel to improve.

He knew that it was impossible to persuade Rachel to take the initiative to give up this marriage.

Last time, Rachel would rather take a hit from his walking stick than take a step back. This was enoughto show her determination.

He took a deep breath and rubbed the watch in his hand with his fingertips. “Are you feeling betterrecently?”

“Don’t you know my health?” Rachel leaned on his shoulder. “Didn’t you ruthlessly let me and Tom join

the army to keep us fit and healthy? I have a strong body! Don’t worry!”

“I heard from Lucas that you got a bottle of medicine?” Old Mr. Johnson gave her a meaningful look.

Rachel nodded.

She did not hide this matter and she gave a brief account of it.

However, she did not confess that Darcy and Ronnie were old acquaintances.

“Mr. Diekens?” Old Mr. Johnson frowned slightly and looked up at Lucas. “Why haven’t I heard of itbefore?”

Seeing Old Mr. Johnson’s sharp gaze, Lucas changed his lazy and casual attitude and sat upright. Heanswered honestly, “This person is elusive, but his business has always been in Seaxas. But duringthis period of time, he seems to have the intention to develop steadily in Seaxas.

“He doesn’t like to show his face in public, nor does he like to have social engagements. I’ve only methim once.”

That was the first time he met Ronnie at the casino.

Though so much time had passed, Lucas still remembered Ronnie’s delicate and beautiful face.

It was no exaggeration to say that Ronnie wasn’t less beautiful than Rachel.

He was at least as pretty as Rachel.

When Old Mr. Johnson heard this, his lips curled into a faint smile that carried a hint of thought-provoking meaning. “In that case, this Mr. Diekens is a man of great power.”

He stayed at home, but he knew everything about Rachel.

He also sent over an antidote that could help Rachel suppress her illness at the time of onset.

Even for the special medicine that Rachel was taking now, they had spent decades reducing its side

effects.

But Ronnie did all these things effortlessly.

It was really worth thinking about, not only for Old Mr. Johnson, but also for others in the Johnson

family.

Rachel felt that it was necessary to ask Ronnie out for a private chat.

“It’s getting late. You should go to bed early,” Old Mr. Johnson suddenly said.

Rachel nodded. When she reached the stairs, she pursed her lips. “Grandpa, I might have to go on atrip in a few days. But I’ll be back soon.”

Old Mr. Johnson nodded slightly.

After Rachel left, Old Mr. Johnson slowly stood up with his walking stick.

He sighed faintly and said in a low voice, “In the end, I couldn’t stop her. Perhaps it has beenpredestined.”

These words seemed to be addressed to Mr. Chadwick, who was beside him, or to himself.

Mr. Chadwick said, “The children will have their own happiness and fortunes. Miss Sophia’s soul inHeaven will definitely protect Miss Rachel.”

Hearing this, Old Mr. Johnson glanced at him and then turned to look up at the night sky. “I hope shewon’t regret the choice she made back then.”

Not long after Rachel returned to her bedroom, Lucas knocked on the door.

“The case of the Cruise family goes to trial tomorrow. Do you want to go over and take a look?” Lucasstood at the door of Rachel’s bedroom.

Rachel was slightly stunned. Clearly, she hadn’t expected things to happen so quickly.

She looked at Lucas indifferently. “I only care about the result.”

After all, due to the evidence provided by her and Lucas, the Cruise family had no way to quibble.

And the fact was just as Rachel had guessed.

The result of the next day’s trial was as follows: The court found Richard Cruise of the Cruise Groupguilty of 15 charges, including tax evasion and illegal trading.

Richard Cruise was held criminally responsible for all the crimes he had committed and was sentencedto life imprisonment.

Next was the case of Olivia Cruise.

Olivia had repeatedly plotted against Rachel and was incorrigible, so Adrian showed her no mercy.

Olivia Cruise was sentenced to five years in prison.

The court’s decisions on the Cruise Group were made too fast for many people to react. The CruiseGroup, which had developed for decades in Seaxas, was gone just like that.

David, who had not been well known, suddenly became very famous.

People also knew how terrifying Aureliana’s influence was.

The Smith Group.

Louis hadn’t expected the man who had been by Rachel’s side to be from the Jones family inAureliana. No wonder Rachel had gotten to know so many powerful big shots since she left Louis.

Even people from the richest Johnson family acted upon whatever she said, too.

Just as he was thinking about it, Mrs. Smith rushed in from outside. “Louis, quick! Come with me!”

While Louis was sitting on the chair in a daze, Mrs. Smith, without another word, dragged him away.

“Mom, what do you want now?” Louis was frustrated. When he saw Mrs. Smith, he could not help butfeel impatient.

He shook off Mrs. Smith’s hand and adjusted his cuffs.

Chapter 661

Mrs. Smith did not notice the impatience on Louis’s face. Instead, she took out a divorce agreementfrom her bag. “This is the divorce agreement I asked the lawyer to draft. If there’s no problem, you signit now!”

Louis frowned slightly and took the divorce agreement. There were many unreasonable rules andrestrictions in it. But in the end, there was only one request, that is, all the assets belonged to the Smithfamily and were Louis’s premarital assets, so Olivia did not have the right to share the assets.Furthermore, Olivia was requested to compensate the Smith family.

Seeing that Louis was looking at the divorce agreement with a serious expression, Mrs. Smith saidearnestly, “The decision on the Cruise family has been made. Richard Cruise has been punished for allthe crimes he committed, and he seems unable to get out of prison in his life. However, Olivia Cruisehas only been sentenced to five years in prison. If she behaves well inside the prison, she might get outearly.

“But she has a criminal record after all. How can such a person enter the Smith family? Besides, withher current status, how can she be a match for you?

“Moreover, I heard that it is mainly because of Mr. Jones from Aureliana that the Cruise family has beenin such big trouble this time. Now, everyone is avoiding the Cruise family as if it were a snake or ascorpion, afraid that they would get involved. Therefore, we have to cut ties with the Cruise family assoon as possible!”
