A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 967 Period

Rae was stunned for a moment when she heard this. Impotent?

Marcel had sex with her last night when she was in his condominium. How could he be impotent?

She looked at Lexie in surprise and wondered what she was thinking about in her mind to say these words.

Lexie noticed Rae’s silence and said again, “Don’t tell me that you’ve never been together with Captain Hopkins. I saw you getting out of his car several times. And you two came together in the morning. So, I believe you two broke up so quickly because of the discord in your life as a couple. So, his self- esteem has suffered greatly. He flew into a rage out of humiliation and broke up with you in public!”

Rae was so astonished as if she was struck by lightning.

Rae sighed once more that Lexie’s imagination was indeed so rich that she could write a play!

She shook her head. “Some of the things are not like what you’ve imagined. This matter had already passed, and I don’t want to bring it up again. We’ve already broken up. It’s pointless to investigate the causes now! So, please don’t bring up the topic of Captain Hopkins’ impotence again! Otherwise, if he hears about it, you will land yourselves in serious troubles!”

Lexie caught a glimpse of Marcel when she looked at the door at this precise moment. She was so terrified that she almost stared out her eyes. She didn’t say anything and lowered her head.

Rae said again, “Do you hear me, Lexie? Don’t mention Marcel being impotent again!”

“No, I don’t!” Lexie quickly said pitifully, “Rae, you’re the one who said it!”

Lexie raised her head uneasily. She gave Rae a quick glance before moving her gaze to the door. Then she exclaimed, “Captain Hopkins, I didn’t say anything!”

Rae abruptly turned around and saw Marcel.

Marcel’s handsome face was gloomy at the moment. He narrowed his eyes and gave them a menacing glance.

To be exact, he was looking at Rae.

Rae’s heart began to pound violently. She scolded Lexie for not being righteous in her heart. She even betrayed her!

Rae made no explanation and immediately became serious and said, “Captain Hopkins, do you have any instructions?”

Marcel smiled icily but said nothing. He only said to Lexie, “Lexie, you follow us to the fieldwork today!”

Lexie had never been out on the field before. She was shocked when she heard it and shook her head immediately, “Captain Hopkins, can I not go?”

“Why don’t you want to go?” Marcel’s expression darkened even more. He asked icily, “Do you think it’s okay if you don’t go?”

“Hmm. I think I’m on my period!” Lexie lied to him in order to not go out in the field!

Marcel didn’t feel embarrassed also and said directly, “I noticed that it was written in your attendance book that you’re on your period every day!”

Lexie was very embarrassed, “Yes! I’m the type of person who has a short menstrual cycle. When I’m on my period, it takes a long time for it to end. I’ve even had metrorrhagia before. So, I won’t be able to go out in the field! Ask Rae to go. Captain Hopkins, I just can’t do it!”

Marcel cast an angry glance at Lexie before turning to Rae and asked, “Are your feet okay?”

“Feet?” Rae looked at her own feet in surprise. She was wondering why Marcel had asked her this way in her heart. She suddenly remembered the shoes she had left with him. She pulled her lips and said in a formulaic manner, “It’s fine. I can go if you need me to!”

“Then meet me at my office at half past ten at noon,” Marcel said.

“Yes!” Rae gave the nod.

Marcel walked away.

Lexie breathed a sigh of relief and then said embarrassedly to Rae, “I’m sorry, Rae. I just betrayed you by accident! I thought that, after all, Marcel is your ex-boyfriend. He would definitely be angry if he found out I had said something like that about him. He would definitely give me a hard time. He just grabbed the opportunity to retaliate against me just now! And I said that you were the one who said he was impotent. He didn’t dare to retaliate against you. It was because doing so would make everyone look down on him! Seeking revenge on an ex-girlfriend is a stupid and inept act!”

“Perhaps he doesn’t even care if others look down on him!” Rae was at a loss for words. “What you’ve said has done nothing but aggravate him! As for whether he will retaliate against me, I think he probably will!”

“No, no. He won’t!” Lexie shook her head, “Ha-ha. If he retaliates against his ex-girlfriend, I’ll be the first to look down on him!”

Rae didn’t want to chat with her any longer and said, “I go to the archive room first!”

“Rae, you haven’t said the reason yet! Why did you and Captain Hopkins break up?”

“Exactly as you think!” Rae threw the sentence at her, and she thought that the news of Marcel’s impotence would most likely spread to the whole police station the next day!

Marcel would probably go insane at that time!

Rae had a light smile on her face as she walked to the archive room. And she felt as if her entire body was brimming with power.

She entered the archive room. She found the colleague who was in charge of the archives and asked, “Can you show me the archives of the unsolved cases five years ago?”

“What do you want to do with these?” The colleague was perplexed.

“Only for research purposes!” Rae said.

“Alright!” Her colleague searched for the dossier of the archives for a while and took over, “You take a look. Please don’t break it!”

“Okay!” Rae then looked at them in the archive room.

However, despite her extensive reading, there was no Rae’s case during the few months she went to the Baxter family! If the case was present, then it should be sent by the police station under them! The head office should have a summary file. She went over it again and again, but she couldn’t find that case!

She stayed in the archive room for two hours, going through all of the files in that month. Still, she couldn’t find the files of the case, which was the case of Rae dying namelessly, but it turned out to be Natalie’s body!

Rae only thought that this was a major issue. Did Kane even have a helper in the police station?

That was certain, but who would it be?

The first person that came to Rae’s mind was Easton!

She handed the files back to the in-charge colleague and asked casually, “Hmm, are these all the files? Are there any more files?”

“No!” Her colleague told her certainly. “However, the archive room once caught fire. Some of the files had been burned. What you’re looking for is most likely among them!”

“What!” Rae was taken aback. “When did it happen?”

“It’s been quite a long time. Because the fire didn’t spread, so no one knew. It only burned a few of the files so that it could be ignored!”

Rae was feeling a bit dejected. Could it be that the file of the case was burned?

She took a look at her watch. It was already eleven o’clock!

Rae shuddered as she remembered Marcel had told her to meet him at half past ten. So, she walked hurriedly towards the office.

When she returned to the office, Marcel’s office door had been locked!

Rae knocked on the door but received no response. She could only return to the office. When Lexie saw her coming back, she told her nosily, “You’re done. Captain Hopkins was so furious just now. He seemed to really have endocrine dyscrasia. His face even turned pale. Tsk, tsk, tsk. He doesn’t seem to be someone with such a bad temper!”

“What did he say?” Rae was a bit worried. After all, she had forgotten about the time. She was too anxious and eager to find out the answer quickly. However, it had already been five years since this incident happened. How could it be so simple to conduct a thorough investigation?

She felt guilty for delaying Marcel’s work because of this.

“He told you to meet him at his office in the afternoon!”

“Alright!” Rae nodded.

“Aren’t you scared?” Lexie asked her.

“I have something to deal with right now!” Rae didn’t want to continue talking with the nosy girl, Lexie. She remembered the help from Gustavo these few times. So, she took the phone and dialed Gustavo’s number. The phone soon showed that the call had been connected. Gustavo’s voice came from the other end of the phone.

“Hello? Rae, do you have anything for me?”

“Are you busy now?” Rae asked.

“No!”

“You don’t have an appointment at noon, do you?” Rae asked again.

“No!”

“Well then. I’ll treat you to lunch!” Rae said.

Gustavo seemed to freeze for a moment before saying a word in joy, “Okay!”

“Then, when we get off work, we’ll eat Sichuan cuisine at the restaurant across the street!” Rae said again.

“No problem. I’ll see you later at 11:50 a.m. at your office!”

“Alright!”

Rae called the hospital again after hanging up the phone. She got the news that Mrs. Baxter’s infection was now under control. She woke up for a minute, but she was too tired, so she fell back asleep.

Rae’s mood suddenly improved much, and she felt hopeful. She put down her phone and unconsciously curled her lips.

Gustavo dressed up in his new clothes for his meeting with Rae at 11:50 a.m. He wore a formal shirt and came to the office. As soon as he saw Rae, he smiled and said, “Rae, let’s go?”

“Okay!” Rae gave him a smile as well. They made their way downstairs together while talking with each other.

However, when they arrived at the Sichuan cuisine restaurant, Rae noticed that Marcel was having lunch with a woman!

They sat by the window. The woman looked beautiful and dressed fashionably. Even though it was in the late autumn, she was still dressed in a dress. Her shoes were also very high, and she had a nice shape. She looked pretty nice!

Gustavo also noticed them and whispered, “Captain Hopkins is here as well!”

Rae smiled and expressed that it was alright, “It’s fine. We’ll have our lunch after we greet him!”

Gustavo and Rae approached them. Marcel had already had his eye on Rae for quite some time. He noticed them as Rae and Gustavo talked and laughed while crossing the road from the work unit just now. They crossed the road and walked here. He was a bit surprised because he didn’t expect them to come up to eat together.

Rae walked over and greeted him magnanimously, “Captain Hopkins!”

“Yes!” Marcel didn’t show a lot of emotion.

Gustavo also said, “Captain Hopkins, are you having lunch? We go there first!”

Marcel had no intention to introduce the pretty woman to them. Rae gave the pretty woman a light smile before following Gustavo to the other side. They chose a seat by the window and sat down.

They were too far apart to hear the sound from Marcel’s table.

At Marcel’s table, the girl noticed Marcel frowning with a glum expression and a bit of hidden anger. She burst out laughing like a little fox.

Marcel poured her a cup of tea, raised his eyelids, and gazed at her. He asked, “What are you laughing at?”

“I’m laughing at you!” The girl admitted in an easy manner.

Marcel paid no attention to her.

“Marcel, I think you are like an unsatisfied little boy with a short fuse now!” The girl laughed loudly and approached him. She asked him across the table, “Are my guesses correct?”

“What’s correct? If you don’t have anything for me, go back quickly!”

“I have something to do!” The lady laughed. “I’ve come to see what you’re up to! You came to City B without a word. What do you want to do?”

Marcel said in a deep voice, “Ellen George!” © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

The girl, who was called Ellen George, grinned, “Actually, I came here to bring my brother over. He was recently in a bad mood. I couldn’t take care of him, so I brought him here. Marcel, just keep him under control! Adam is just too annoying!”

Marcel frowned again and was a bit surprised, “Where is he now?”

“At the hotel! I left him at the hotel. He said he would stay well at the hotel!” Ellen was still playful. “He should be at the hotel. There is room service there. Furthermore, it’s not that his legs are incapable of walking at all. That shouldn’t be an issue! Don’t worry!”
