Chapter 102 A Request That Ended On A Bad Note

"Are these not to your liking?” Victor asked, noticing that Rachel wasn't moving. Rachel sat still,while looking at him vigilantly. “Are you going to make me sign another agreement after thisdinner?” “As the saying goes, all that glitters is gold. I refuse to believe that Victor would becomenice to me all of a sudden and without asking anything in return,” she thought to herself. Before hecould answer, Rachel picked up her chopsticks again and cut him off. “Forget it. Either way, I don'thave a choice, do 17? If you really want me to sign a new agreement, I'll do

it.”

When Victor heard that, his gaze became cold. “You're smart.” Rachel swallowed a mouthful of foodwhile looking at him. She then continued to eat in silence with her head down. Seeing that shedidn't respond to his remark, it made Victor feel annoyed and bored at the same time. “Rachel,when Olivia tried to frame you, why didn't you defend yourself?”

Upon hearing that, Rachel burst into laughter. dear reader daily new latest chapters uploaded onwww.novelheart.com She stared at him, intending to say “Why didn't I explain myself? You shouldalready know why.” Rachel was just about to say it before changing her mind. “It makes nodifference whether I explain myself or not, so I just brushed it off.” She valued her life now morethan ever. Besides, Abby was still in Victor's hands. She knew that she must think twice beforesaying anything. Still, this man was not satisfied with her

answer.

A long silence ensued between them, until Victor finally decided to break it by putting a small bagon the table. “Olivia has been caught. Inside that bag is your earring. The police returned it earlier.”Rachel took one of the earring and examined it. After confirming its legitimacy, she felt relieved. Thepair of earrings was left behind by the original Rachel's mother, Elisa.

Things would get complicated if Olivia pawned one of these. Shelia would feel sorry for the oldRachel if that were to happen. Upon seeing the look on her face, Victor's eyes dimmed. “I'll askLukas to return to his previous post in the Sue Garden. I must admit, I made a mistake andmisjudged you this time. If there's anything you would like to ask for, just tell me.” Rachel stoppedlooking at the earring and asked, “What did you just say?” Victor stared back at her, not sayinganother word. “I can ask for anything?” Afterwards, Rachel put down her earring, and looked at himintently.

"You can tell me first.” “Telling him what I wants is one thing. Whether if he agrees with it is another,”Rachel thought to herself. She then put the earring into her pocket. “Fine, I do have a request. Jackcame to me a few days ago, begging me to let Alice back into the Sullivan Group. I've alreadyagreed to it.” “You want to let that woman back into the company?” Victor's eyes glinted withconfusion. “What the hell are you up to, Rachel?”

Rachel put a piece of beef into her mouth, innocently blinking. “Nothing. My father came to measking for help, and as his daughter, I can’t really turn him down, can 1?” Victor didn't say anything.Clearly, he didn't believe that explanation. Rachel smirked and said, “Mr. Sullivan, I think that's arequest you can satisfy, is it not?” Victor's eyes turned sharp as they fell on her grin. “I thought you'dbe asking me about the whereabouts of your little maid.” The smile on Rachel's face disappeared,and her grip on the chopsticks tightened.

A moment later, she put on a smile again. “Will you tell me if I ask you nicely?” she said. “Nope.”Rachel took a deep breath, put down the chopsticks, and restrained her annoyance. “Since you'renot going to tell me, why should I even bother to ask? I'd rather avoid doing anything useless. You'dbest keep that in mind.” Victor got up, walked around the bar counter, and stood in front of RachelHe grabbed her chin, and said, “Rachel, you better keep your word.”

Silently, she stared back into his eyes, showing no sign of fear. “I'll ask Ivan to arrange the necessarypaperwork for Alice to get back.” After pausing for a while, Victor let go of her, and said, “You're notallowed to return to your room unless you finish all the dishes on the table. Once you've returned toyour room, pack your things and move back to the guest bedroom!” Having said that, he leftwithout looking back.

Rachel rubbed her jaw, and suddenly lost her appetite after looking at the dishes on the table. Aftera heavy downpour of rain, the temperature dropped to around eighteen degrees Celsius. Autumnhad finally arrived. The following day, Lukas came back from abroad via plane. Everyone in the SueGarden had heard of what happened to Olivia, so they all treated Rachel with more respect; at leastthat was what they did whenever Rachel was present.

It was early morning when Rachel received a call from Jack. Before she could even get a word in, heshouted, “Rachel! You promised that you'll help Alice get her job back at the Sullivan Group, butwhat did you do?” Fortunately, Rachel managed to move her ear away from the phone in time tosave herself from Jack's loud voice. She was lying on a recliner when she replied, “Mr. Jenkins, I haveno

idea what you're talking about. Hasn't Alice returned to the company? Victor said that he'd ask Ivanto arrange it. I'm fairly certain that Ivan is not an unreliable man, is he?” Jack was taken aback as hereplied, “Well, she has indeed gotten back into the Sullivan Group.” “Then why are you calling me?”Rachel asked lazily. Jack was livid with anger. “You know full well why I'm calling you! It's true thatAlice has now returned to the Sullivan Group, but now she’s working as a cleaner. Rachel, are youbehind all this? Otherwise, why would Alice end up as a cleaner?”

Rachel chuckled. “Mr. Jenkins, you overestimate my capacity. Alice's job after she comes back to theSullivan Group isn't up to me. Why are you blaming me for something I clearly have no controlover?” Through gritted teeth, Jack replied, “Rachel, go tell Victor to give Alice her job in the publicrelations department back! Don't think that I don’t know you're behind all of this!” Rachel's eyesturned sharp. “Jack, what makes you think I'll agree to that request?”

“Because I'm your father!” Jack growled. “Mr. Jenkins, your old age is getting to you. Have youforgotten that you're the one who wrote an official document, renouncing me as your daughter afew days ago?” Rachel said coldly, before hanging up the phone and not giving Jack a chance toreply. When he realized that Rachel had hung up, his chest heaved up and down out of furyAfterwards, Jack slammed his phone onto the table.

Tears welled up in Alice's eyes when she saw Jack's reaction. “Dad, I don't want to be a cleaner.How could Rachel do this to me?” she cried. “She has already taken your equity of the BennetGroup. How could she go back on her word—" 2 “That's enough! Stop crying!” Jack got annoyedwhen he saw Alice tearing up. He had been so gentle and kind towards his daughter all this time,but now, he didn't hold back his anger.

“You can either stop crying right now or you can get the fuck out of the house!" dear reader dailynew latest chapters uploaded on www.novelheart.com The sound of his voice frightened Alice.“Alice.” Caroline had her hand on Alice's arm. Caroline was about to comfort her, but Alice violentlybrushed off her mother's hand, before running out of the room with tearful eyes. Caroline wentafter her, but she failed to catch up with her daughter.

She stood frozen in place, clenching her fists as a sinister gaze appeared in her eyes. Sometimelater, Caroline took out her phone and looked for a nameless number on her contact list. It took hera moment of hesitation before she finally pressed the dial button. “Rachel, I will never allow you towalk all over my daughter! Never!’ Caroline exclaimed in her head.
