Captivation Want Nothing But You Chapter 142 by Adolf Dunne

“I... 1 just heard it from someone.” Her hands held each other, sweating and slightly trembling. Aliciawas caught off guard, not expecting that she would make such a blunder. “You heard it? From whoexactly did you hear it?" Victor's eyes narrowed as he asked. His tone and expression weren't reallyangry. But his aura was obviously intimidating. Alicia swallowed hard, carefully thinking the wordsthat she would say. After a while, her pink lips moved

“I heard it from a servant passing by when I was waiting for Rachel by the lake the other day.” Aftershe finally made up a story, the entire room was filled with total silence. Victor didn't say a word, buthis eyes were still fixed on Alicia. Alicia was so afraid that she couldn't stare back into Victor'sfreezing eyes. She felt guiltier and uneasy that he wasn't saying anything. “Victor...”

Not able to take it anymore, Alicia tried to explain again, but she was suddenly cut off by Victor. “I'llask the driver to send you back to school.” After saying that, he strode towards the stairs, not lettingAlicia have a chance to say another word. A while later, Lukas came downstairs and saw Alicia there,alone. She was standing still, with her pink lips tightly closed. Her eyes looked red as if she had justfinished crying.

“Miss Schultz, let me walk you out...” “It's fine. I can do that by myself.” Before Lukas could finish hiswords, Alicia interrupted with her hoarse voice. Then, she turned around and quickly walked outsidethe house. Looking at her obviously upset and aggrieved back, Lukas sighed. He watched Victorgrow up. For so many years, he had never seen Victor take any woman seriously except for hisgrandmother. 1 In fact, even Rachel, who had been married to him and now pregnant with his child,was no exception.

Victor didn't treat her any better, let alone Alicia. “Lukas...” After quickly striding away, Aliciasuddenly stopped and turned towards Lukas, revealing her still reddish eyes. “Yes, Miss Schultz.What can I do for you?” Lukas asked, trying to be considerate with the pitiful-looking girl. “Well... It'sactually my birthday next Wednesday, and my family will hold a party for me.

Will you please tell Victor about it? If it is possible, I want him to be there.” She took a deep breathand added. “Please tell him that I'll wait for him in Crown Club.” “Yes, of course. I'll be sure to tell Mr.Sullivan,” Lukas answered. After getting the response she wanted, Alicia didn't say anything moreand eventually left.

A few moments later, Lukas went upstairs and knocked on the door of the study. “Come in.” Victor'svoice sounded from the other side of the door. Lukas pushed the door open and walked in. Victorhad just put down his phone to end a call. So, he turned around and looked at Lukas, who just camein. “Mr. Sullivan, Miss Schultz has already left.”

Lukas paused for a moment before he continued, “Before she left, she actually asked me to tell youthat her birthday party will be held next Wednesday at the Crown Club. She will be expecting you.”“I see.” With an expressionless face, Victor replied vaguely. Lukas couldn't determine from hisanswer if he would go or not. Then, Victor's phone suddenly vibrated, hinting that he got amessage. As the screen of the phone lit up, he saw that the message was from Ivan.

Seeing this, he was reminded that he had an appointment with a business partner. “When will thedoctor arrive?” Victor asked Lukas while he was texting Ivan back. Then, he took the documents onthe desk to prepare for his appointment. “I just received a message from the doctor. He said hewould be here within ten minutes,” Lukas replied. Victor just nodded. He was actually thinking whatAlicia just said earlier, and he deemed that he should do something about it.

“By the way, investigate who were in the garden on the day Alicia fell into the water. Once you replaceout who they are, kick them out.” Hearing this, Lukas was stunned. He didn’t know why Victor wouldsuddenly ask for such a thing. “Okay then. But may I ask why?” It was a strange order, so Lukaswondered why he needed to suddenly investigate that event.

“I don't like servants who don't know when to shut their mouths.” After saying that in a cold tone,Victor walked out of the study. When Victor was out of sight, Lukas frowned and his face becamemore puzzled.

It seemed that someone must have said something to Alicia or Rachel that day, but he couldn't beso sure. The following day, Rachel got up early and prepared to set out. It was the day that shewould visit the Bennet family after quite a long time. These past days, Andy had been living in theBennet family. Therefore, when he heard the knock at the door, he immediately opened it. As heopened the door, he greeted with a smile, “Miss Bennet! You're here.”

"Oh, Andy.” Rachel smiled back, a bit surprised that he answered the door this quick. Then, Andytook a look at the Maybach behind Rachel, as well as the men in black who stood beside the car.Moreover, when he saw the Obsidian around their neck, he couldn't help but frown and sigh.

He had no clue what Rachel had been doing ever since she moved into the Sue Garden.Furthermore, he had no clue if she was just alright. He couldn't gauge how Victor was treatingRachel there. “Miss Bennet, didn’t Abby come with you?” “No, she has been very busy,” Rachelanswered but didn't explain further. Then, she proceeded inside. Hearing Rachel's words, Andyglanced at the men in black standing in front of the house with a serious look on his face.

Although Rachel seemed fine, he still felt that something wrong was going on. Although he hadn'tknown Abby for a very long time, he knew that she adored Rachel very much. In fact, she almostalways stayed by her side. However, ever since he was taken away and Rachel moved into SueGarden, he had never seen a glimpse of Abby again. “Miss Bennet...” The more he thought about it,the stranger he felt it was. He stopped and looked at the back of Rachel, wanting to replace someanswers.

Rachel turned around and saw the confusion and worry in his eyes. Of course, she immediatelyguessed what he was thinking. But just like she was doing all this time, she didn't show any hint ofemotion. Instead, she asked casually, “What's wrong?” Andy hesitated for a moment, knowing thatRachel was just pretending that everything was alright. “Is Abby doing okay?” “Of course. Whywouldn’t she?” With a firm tone, she asked, “Did someone say something to you?”

“No. It's not that...” Obviously, he didn't have any definitive proof. He was just basing hisassumptions on what he could perceive. Hence, he wondered if he was just really thinking toomuch. Andy frowned as he didn't replace anything wrong with Rachel's expression. There were only twopossibilities. It was either Rachel was just very good at hiding her emotions, or she was telling thetruth. Of course, he wished that it was the latter.

“We need to talk and I just don't want Abby to get involved in this, so I didn't bring her here. That'sall,” Rachel finally said to dispel his worry. Eventually, Andy bought it. He felt at ease to hear whatRachel said. After all, he knew that if something really happened to Abby, Rachel wouldn't look calmand do nothing at all.

But when he realized that Rachel came directly to the home of the Bennet family, he becamepuzzled again. “Miss Bennet, is something the matter? Didn't you say that we would meet in a cafetoday? Why did you suddenly decide to come here instead?” Seeing that Andy still looked soserious, Rachel was amused and couldn't help but laugh. She wasn't really thinking of doingsomething big.

However, it was true that it might be a big sensation if the situation was different. “Nothing. I justthink it's more convenient to discuss it at home. After all, it could save your time, and we can bemore at ease.” The truth was because she was now free to go out, she didn't need to sneak outanymore. In order to reduce the risk of being discovered, she initially told Andy that they wouldmeet at the cafe. After all, Victor could easily replace out about it if she went home. But since thesituation changed for the better, she deemed that it wasn't necessary to hide anymore.

It was also such a pity though, that it took her three hours to successfully break into the securitysystem in Sue Garden. She didn't need that security system to help her out now. “So what is it thatyou want to discuss?” Andy eventually sat opposite Rachel and asked in a low voice, “The money Igave you, how much of it is left?

Did you use it all up?” Rachel asked straightforwardly. As soon as she finished her words, Andy tookout the bank card from his pocket and put it on the table. “I haven't used any of it. It's all in here.”“The five million dollars?” “Yes.” Andy nodded and added, “Miss Bennet, you said that these moneycould be used to save the Bennet Group.

Although five million dollars is a huge sum of money, I know that it is still not enough. Currently, theBennet Group is supported by the Sullivan Group. Although it doesn’t make any profit now, it can atleast keep things in a balance. So I thought that it's best to keep the five million in case you need itsomeday. I can't be of much help to you, but I thought this money could become necessary oneday.”
