Captivation: Want Nothing But You -
Chapter 202
Chapter 202 No One Can Replace Her
Ten minutes later, they went aboard the ship. Victor arranged a suite next to his for Rachel. It hadone bedroom and a living room. Afraid that she would escape, Victor also brought a maid to lookafter her. The maid would stay in the living room to guard Rachel while she was resting. Racheldidn't oppose.
When Rachel came out of the bathroom, she caught the maid trying to open her suitcase. “What areyou doing?” she asked, frowning The maid who was startled by her sudden question quickly stoodup and faced her. “Unpacking your things for you, Miss Bennet,” she explained. As if observing her,Rachel looked at her up and down.
Then, she pulled the suitcase to her side and told the maid indifferently, “I don't like other peopletouching my things. Leave it to me. I can manage.” “Then... Miss Bennet, what can I do for you? Doyou need anything?” The maid seemed overly obedient. It was because she knew how much Victorcared about Rachel.
The maid thought if she made her happy, she would have a raise. Moreover, she heard that Rachelhad been very kind to her former maid, Abby. Everyone said that she treated that maid like her ownsister. But now, Abby was dead. As a new maid, she needed to win Rachel's favor so she wouldmake her stay.
“Miss Bennet, I heard about what happened to Abby. You must be very upset. I haven't met her yet,but I guess she was a very nice girl since you like her so much. However, she’s gone now. I think it'sbest if you move on, Miss Bennet. If you want to, you can treat me as her. I will try my best to serveyou well, just like what Abby did.” The maid thought she had hidden her thoughts well, but Rachelhad seen through her.
She knew that the maid only said such words in order to gain her favor and please Victor. Sureenough, people were social climbers. However, she could not blame the maid. After all, it washuman nature to be capricious, especially in her current position. As long as there was a chance forpeople like her to climb up, they would definitely seize it. Unfortunately, her scheme would not workon Rachel. “Abby was never my maid,” Rachel said
“Miss Bennet...” With an indifferent look, Rachel added with emphasis, “There's only one Abby. Noone can replace her. I will never see you as her.” The maid bit her bottom lip, lowered her eyes, andclenched her fists. “Miss Bennet, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to replace her. I just...”
The maid wanted to explain, but before she could do so, Rachel cut her off. “You want to work forme, don't you?” Rachel asked. The maid nodded heavily. “Miss Bennet, as long as you agree to letme serve you, I will do anything you ask me to do. I promise!” “Sorry, but I can't let you stay.” “But...why?"
Disappointment was written all over the maid's face. “I don't need anyone around me,” Rachel said.“I'm tired and want to have a rest. You can go out now.”
The maid's lips moved, wanting to say something more. But when she saw the expression inRachel's eyes, she gave up. Rachel's eyes told her that she would not change her mind. “Then I willbe in the living room. Miss Bennet, if you need anything, please call me at any time.” After sayingthat, the maid turned around and walked out of the room. When the door was closed, Rachelreached out for the wooden pendant in her pocket and took it out.
It was the only thing Abby left for her. Slowly, she enclosed the pendant in her palm and clenched itwhile she looked at the endless sea from the balcony. With a dull and loud whistle, the ship set off.Rachel withdrew her eyes and stroked the words carved on the pendant: “Abby...” Just then, herphone rang
After putting back the pendant inside her pocket, Rachel took out her phone and answeredQuintin’s video call request. “Boss, are you on board?” As soon as the call got connected, Quintin’svoice rang in her ears. “Yes.” “Boss, are you sure you want to do it?” A trace of reluctance could beseen on Quintin’s face. “This is my only chance to escape from Victor and this hell of a place.”Despite the danger, Rachel remained firm with her decision.
“But isn't it too risky? What if...". “Don’t you believe in yourself?” Rachel knew what Quintin wasworried about. Quintin pursed his thin lips. Although he had gone over the plan countless times inhis head and knew the chances of an accident occurring were extremely low, he still couldn't helpbut worry. Because if something went wrong, two lives would be in danger. “I...”
*Quintin.” Rachel called his attention. Frowning in confusion, Quintin raised his head and metRachel's eyes through the camera. “Boss?” “I believe in you.” The sincerity Quintin saw in her eyestouched his heart. In the end, he took a deep breath and nodded. “Okay, boss. I won't let you down.I will bring you and the baby back safe and sound.” These words made Rachel smile. “By the way,boss, Alice is already on the ship.
You must be careful in the next couple of days. She might be hiding there somewhere.” A smirkappeared on Rachel's lips. She tapped the table with her fingertips while listening to Quintin. “Idon't know if she’s stupid or smart for daring to come to you. But, boss, how do you know that Alicewill try to sneak onto the ship?” A few days ago, Rachel told him with certainty that Alice wouldcome to her. He doubted the idea at first, but it turned out to be true.
1 “Because I let out the news about the cruise tour,” Rachel answered. Stunned, Quintin was lost forwords. Daily latest chapters only www.novelheart.com Now that Alice had killed Abby, she woulddefinitely be in a panic. When someone had tried to kill once, that person might lose his mind andwouldn't be afraid to do it again.
Alice hated Rachel to the core. Once she found out about her whereabouts, Alice would definitelyreplace a way to get to her. That was why Rachel gave her a bait. This was the chance that could makeAlice completely lose her mind. The cruise tour was the best opportunity at the moment.
The elites were the common guests on such an expensive cruise ship. Alice was once one of them,and now she had nothing. Once she learned that Rachel would be there, Alice's jealousy would burnher sanity. She would be desperate to come to her no matter what it would take.
