A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 945 I Might be Exposed

At that moment, he was frowning when he saw that she was going out. “What are you going to do?”

“I!” Rae paused for a while and said, “I’m going back to the Baxter house!”

“What are you going to do there?”

“Family issues!” Rae said.

“Hmm!” Marcel nodded and then he did not say anything else.

Rae went downstairs. She went to the alley which was located opposite her office carefully and she saw the film store.

Rae just saw Kane sitting in the position of the video store’s owner when she walked in. He was receiving money at the counter.

There was someone who bought a disc. He took a glance at it and then collected the money.

Rae was shocked, did Kane just start a business of selling discs and films outside her office?

Rae did not dare to ask him as there were still other people next to him.

He was busy at the moment!

Kane took a glance at her. Then he spoke to her after receiving money from his customers, “I have prepared the disc that you want but it is inside now. I’ll go in and get it for you later. I am busy at this moment, please wait for a while!”

Rae nodded as she knew that he was saying that on purpose. “Alright!”

Soon, the few people left there. Kane stood up and spoke to her, “Follow me!”

Rae cowered subconsciously but still, she followed Kane to walk into the room.

Kane closed the door after they got in.

Rae was pursing her lips and waiting for him to start the conversation.

He was staring at Rae with a sullen face. It seemed that he was very dissatisfied with Rae. His eyes that were watching Rae looked like watching an enemy with a gloomy coldness and was not like looking at his daughter.

She saw that he was not speaking and just stared at her with his scary gloomy face. Rae had no choice but to break the silence, “I think maybe Rae was having a messy private life in the past so many people are coming to find me now and say some inexplicable words. I think I might be exposed!”

“Have you drugged Leonard?” Kane was speaking in a cold voice.

Rae answered him with a nod after hearing his question. “Yes, I am already starting!”

Kane’s mood seemed to turn better. He just used his old eyes to look at Rae, “You’re not bluffing me, right?”

“If you don’t believe me, you can go and drug him by yourself!” Rae’s tone was getting a bit firmer. “I really despise doing such a thing but I have no choice because of you! You were the police, you should know that this action is breaking a rule but you still asked me to do it, I really have no idea what exactly you want!”

Kane just looked at her indifferently and said coldly, “It is all because of you who are so stupid and haven’t found any trace of the past until now. Therefore, I had no choice but to use this way. How dare you ask me about it?”

Rae was stunned and then she stopped talking.

Maybe she had realized that she had said something wrong. Kane eased his facial expression and said, “Nat, I know you are in grievance. It will end soon. It will be over very soon!”

Rae wanted to laugh and cry. It would be over soon. That was right, her life would probably come to an end soon too.

However, she was not saying a word.

Kane took out a very small plastic bag from the back of his storeroom. She estimated that it was containing the drug. “This is for Leonard. You put it in his tea. You just need to add a fingernail of it in his tea per day!”

Rae nodded.

“I will be angry if I discover that you are not doing so. Don’t blame me for getting angry with you then!”

“I got it!” Rae was still coping with him. She seemed to have thought of something and she said, “Oh, please bring me a copy of the disc and video of Rae, I want to take a look at them!”

Suddenly, Kane raised his eyebrows and sneered. “You don’t watch that thing first. I don’t care about the relationship between you and Marcel. It’s your freedom to be in love with anyone but I will totally not allow you to delay the plan!”

Rae was not insisting to get the disc since he didn’t want to let her watch it. She just said, “Can I leave now?”

“Go ahead!” Kane just simply gave her a disc. He handed it to her and said, “Take this, just say that you are coming here to buy a disc if there is anyone asks you!”

“Okay!”

Rae nodded.

Kane didn’t follow her to go out when she was walking towards the door. Rae walked to the area of the store outside. Her vision fell on the cup which was at the side of the counter inadvertently. She lowered her head, she seemed to mutter to herself irresolutely for a while. Then, she pondered and looked back at the side of the storeroom. After that, her eyes scanned the house for cameras. Finally, she was sure that there was no camera there and casually picked up Kane’s cups and walked out of his store without showing any suspicious look.

Rae left his store after taking away Kane’s cup. She went straight back to her office.

She put all the things that Kane gave her into her bag. Then, she called Gustavo on the way.

“Gustavo, are you free?”

“I’m working outside, do you have any matter? Rae!” The place that Gustavo was staying seemed a bit noisy. It sounded like he was in a car.

“Yes, I have something. However, you are not here right now. When will you be back?” Rae asked him.

“Well, I think I will be back at 4 or 5 pm!” Gustavo also could not predict the exact time at the moment.

“Alright, I’ll look for you then. Remember to call me when you are back!”

“Sure!”

For that time, Rae went back to her office but she did not go and look for Sophie. It didn’t mean that she suspected her but she just felt a bit strange. Sometimes, the thing like the sixth sense was very wonderful.

She put the cup into a plastic bag and stuffed it into the drawer of her office table. She was having the drug with her. She wanted to put the drug together with the previous drug. She could not keep the drug in Marcel’s apartment. Since she didn’t have her own rental house at the time, she could only keep the drug in Rae’s bedroom in the Baxter house.

Just as Rae locked her drawer, her phone rang. When Rae looked at her phone, she was surprised that it was a phone call from Reuben. She was stunned for a while and she recalled the matter of yesterday, Reuben said that he wanted to meet her. She had forgotten it last night and recalled it when he was calling her.

Thus, Rae picked up the phone. “Hello!”

Reuben’s voice came from the other side of the phone. His voice sounded a bit husky with the charm and attraction of a mature man. However, Rae was not interested to appreciate it and she said, “Rae, I’m downstairs of your building. Just come down and let’s go for lunch together!”

“Forget about the lunch. I think it’s better if we don’t meet each other. You can communicate with me on the phone first. You can also tell me on the phone if there’s anything that you want to tell me about the past!” Rae felt that it was better to talk on the phone than to meet him. If Marcel had discovered it, she was sure that he would get her wrong again. Their relationship was already in jeopardy.

But apparently, she underestimated Reuben’s stubbornness. He said, “My pretty fiancee, are you coming down yourself, or should I go up? I heard that you have published your relationship with Marcel at your workplace today. You two are a new couple! What if I also go up and tell everybody that we are an engaged couple!”

Rae was shocked all of a sudden. How did he manage to know the things that just happened in the morning?

Did it mean that Reuben was also having friends in the police station?

She was not speaking. Reuben said, “Rae, you don’t need to suspect and don’t need to think so deeply! Everyone in this world will have their friends. I have friends in all different business. Thus, it’s just an easy task for me to know about you. It seems that you have just bought a disc today. Why don’t you take it out and play it so that we can listen to it together?”

Rae was getting even more surprised. He was not having a friend in the police station, but a spy!

So who was the one?

Who was Reuben’s spy?

Rae just felt creepy. Did it mean that her freedom was gone in her future and she had to stay under other’s watchful eyes completely?

Rae forced herself to suppress the discomfort in her heart and said, “You have sent someone to keep an eye on me, right?”

“Huh!” Reuben laughed faintly, “Don’t say it in such a bad way, I just care about you and you can totally conclude this behaviour as a fiance's care towards his fiancee!”

“Reuben!” Rae yelled lowly.

“Rae, don’t treat me like stranger. You used to call me sweetie!” Reuben said.

Rae felt even more disgusting. She just felt that she was really helpless on all sides now and yet she still had to face it.

“Come downstairs! Darling!” Reuben said again.

Rae gritted her teeth, “Okay!”

She collected her things and prepared to go downstairs.

Reuben stopped his car outside the building. Marcel happened to walk past there and saw Reuben.

Both of them were looking at each other. Reuben smiled and said, “Captain Hopkins, where are you going?”

Marcel smiled faintly, “Mr. James, what are you doing here?”

“It is obvious that I am coming to fetch my pretty and gentle fiancée, Rae!” Rueben’s tone was provocative, “Captain Hopkins, please take good care of my fiancee!”

Marcel squinted his eyes slightly and smiled lightly, “Mr. James is so elegant and in the mood to fall in love. I thought you were coming to visit Heath!”

Reuben squinted his eyes out of the blue when he heard what Marcel said. He sneered and said, “Captain Hopkins, just wait for a lawsuit if you don’t release him within 24 hours!”

Marcel was also smiling, “Mr. James, don’t worry. I did have a little knowledge about the law! However, you’d better pray for Heath so that he will be alright. Otherwise, it will be a difficult task for you to bail him out when he is with the prosecution!”

Reuben squinted his eyes and smiled suddenly. “Captain Hopkins, thanks for the reminder! Those who are innocent will not be judged! I have faith in my brother’s character!”

“That’s great! Mr. James, I have to go now!” Marcel showed him back the same faint smile and then he walked into the building. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Marcel went upstairs and the lift stopped at their floor.

Just at the moment, Rae was coming downstairs.

Marcel met her at the door of the lift. Rae was standing outside while he was inside and was just walking out. Both of them were facing each other.

Marcel saw Rae who had left and then came back again. He slightly squinted his eyes. A dark ink color was rolling under his eyes. He was asking her in a cold tone, “Why are you coming back again?”

When Rae saw Marcel, she was not in a hurry to go downstairs. She just spoke to him, “I forgot to take something so I come back again to take it!”

Marcel squinted his eyes and looked at her for a while. Then, he nodded. “Are you still going back to Baxter house?”

Rae was stunned. When she thought of the phone call from Reuben, she shook her head. “I am going out for something, I might not go back!”

“What is it?” Marcel asked her again with his eyes looking at her and reckoning about her plan.

Rae pondered for a while and then she still didn’t tell Marcel about it. She just said, “I have something to ask someone, I’ll tell you about it later!”

Marcel squinted his eyes after she finished saying that. Then, he didn’t say anything and looked deeply at Rae. Rae just felt that Marcel’s gaze was very sharp as if it would go through her body. His gaze was sharp and clear. However, he was not saying a word and just went straight towards his office.

Rae was a bit surprised but also did not call and stop him.

When Rae went downstairs, Marcel was standing in the corridor outside his office. He was looking out of the window. Reuben’s car was parked downstairs. Reuben was leaning against his car door and looking up at the buildings. It seemed like he was looking at the floor that they were staying.

Marcel didn’t move and he was just looking at it. Soon, Rae walked out of the building. Her small body looked very slender.
