Betrayal At The Altar

Chapter 147

The police officer did not think too much about her reaction.

He only thought that she was worried that the criminals would take revenge in the future.

“Miss Cruise, don’t worry, they can’t see you,” the staff explained patiently.

Olivia’s suddenly tense heart slowly relaxed. She took a deep breath and turned around to leave with the staff.

As the two of them left, the interrogator entered the interrogation room again. He slammed the folder on the table and looked at Rachel impatiently. “Have you considered it?!”

“You won’t listen to me or believe me. What else do you want me to say?”

Looking at Rachel’s languid attitude, Don slammed the table and stood up. He scolded. angrily, “Rachel Grey, don’t make me do this the hard way! Don’t think that just because you’re a woman, we can’t do anything to you! Selling national cultural relics, forging cultural relics, and illegal trading. Either of these two crimes is enough for you to suffer!”

Rachel was unmoved. She said calmly, “I want to see your Chief Brown!”

“You can’t see Chief Brown whenever you want!” Don sneered. “Lock her up and let her starve for a few meals. I want to see how long she can last being that tight–lipped!”

The police officer beside him did not take action immediately. Instead, he stood walked to Don’s side. He whispered in his ear, “Captain, something’s wrong.”

“Huh?” Don frowned slightly, making his already austere face look a little scary and

shrewd.

“How did she know that our chief’s last name is Brown?”

up and

These words caused Don’s furrowed brows to tense up further as he fell into a brief moment of contemplation. “Where’s her information?”

“Here.” The interrogator handed the folder to Don.

This information had just been collected after an investigation not long ago. They were in

a hurry to sort out the case and had not had the time to read it.

When he opened the document, he saw that the background check on Rachel only contained a few words.

“Captain, this…” The interrogator widened his eyes in disbelief.

Given the technical skills of the police department and the super advanced equipment they had, they could basically investigate anything they wanted.

However, Rachel’s information could be said to be blank except for the mandatory details, such as her name, date of birth, and sex.

There were only two possibilities for this phenomenon.

Either the background of the person they were investigating was really as clean as a piece of white paper, or her identity was deliberately hidden. At this stage, they had no right to

Chapter 147 investigate.

Don and the interrogator looked at each other and could not help but fall into deep thought.

Although the two of them did not say anything, looking at Rachel’s calm expression, they felt that the second possibility was more likely.

However, as far as they could see, there was no one with the last name ‘Grey‘ in the entire Seaxas.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the interrogation room was a little heavy.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the interrogation room and a staff member walked in.

He first took a deep look at Rachel, then walked to Don’s side and said in a low voice, “Captain, Chief Brown is asking to see you!”

“Didn’t he go to a nearby city for a meeting?” A look of surprise appeared on Don’s face.

The man shook his head. “I don’t know the details…”

Before he could finish speaking, he heard Chief Brown shout sternly, “Where’s Don Cole? That little bastard! Get him to come out quickly!”

Hearing this, the people in the interrogation room subconsciously looked up and sized up the expression on Don’s face.

Don frowned slightly, handed the information to the person beside him, and turned around to leave.

However, just as he walked out of the door, he bumped into Chief Brown, who was walking in the wind.

“You’re really something! Every single day, you make me worry!” Chief Brown gritted his teeth and looked at him. “What sin have I committed to bring you here, you troublemaker!?!”

“Chief Brown, you just have double standards. Why didn’t you say that when I made positive contributions?” Don took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Chief Brown. “Do you want one?”

Chief Brown was so livid that he laughed. “You’re still in the mood to smoke at this juncture? Go ahead and smoke. Take it as a farewell for yourself!”

Don was speechless.

Chapter 148.

Don held a cigarette between his fingers as he watched Chief Brown walk past him with at dumbfounded expression.

When he came back to his senses, he hurriedly chased after him. He did not forget to mutter self– righteously, “Chief Brown, this case is extraordinary. Perhaps we can take this opportunity to capture Vince, who has been wanted for three years. Now, I beg the higher–ups…”

As soon as he entered, he saw Chief Brown personally removing the handcuffs for Rachel. There was a look of pity between his brows, and his tone was apologetic. “Rac–Rae, I’m sorry, I’m late. I’ve let you suffer.”

The interrogator was dumbfounded.

Don, who was standing at the door, was speechless.

One had the last name ‘Brown‘, and the other had the last name ‘Gray‘. How did they become uncle and niece?

Chief Brown in front of him was indeed not Rachel’s uncle, but Lucas’s biological uncle.

However, when she was young, Lucas often brought her in and out of Morris Brown’s family at will. After a while, the Brown family started acknowledging her and treating her like one of them.

From then on, Rachel treated Morris Brown like her uncle, just as Lucas did.

To others, it was a great thing to be related to the Brown family.

However, to the Brown family, it was a great honor for Rachel to be willing to acknowledge them.

It was because Rachel was the apple of Old Mr. Johnson’s and the entire Johnson family’s

eyes.

Rachel moved her wrist and looked at Morris with a smile. “Did Lucas look for you?”

Upon hearing this, Morris’s expression changed drastically. An imperceptible panic flashed across his eyes. “What! Lucas knows that you’re locked up here?”

If Lucas knew, his brother–in–law would probably know too.

The police station would probably face another bloodbath.

After all, Rachel was the apple of the Johnson family’s eyes.

Rachel looked at Morris’s hopeless expression and a hint of contemplation flashed in the depths of her eyes.

If it wasn’t Lucas, then who could it be?

Just as she was deep in thought, she heard someone barge in. “Chief Brown, Mr. Johnson is here.

Chief Brown’s eyebrows twitched.

What he was afraid of really came true.

Morris calmed down and looked at Rachel with a smile. His tone was cautious and fawning. “Rae–Rae, why don’t you come with me?”

Rachel nodded.

The two of them walked out of the interrogation room one after another.

When Morris passed by Don, he glowered at him in exasperation. “Come over too. You can take responsibility for what you’ve done!”

‘Don’t even think about dragging me down with you!‘ he thought:

Don still did not understand what he had done wrong.

He thought that Rachel was involved in this illegal transaction case. It could be said that she had been caught red–handed. This was not something that could be easily resolved with a backer.

In the office.

Tom was sitting on the black sofa with his legs crossed. There was a hint of languidness in his noble posture, and he was holding a lit cigarette between his slender fingers.

Hearing footsteps at the door, he looked up.

The moment the man’s sharp gaze cast over, a strong pressure overwhelmed him, immediately making Morris gasp.

Despite his position as brother–in–law and his older age, Morris still felt unprecedented reverence and fear every time he met Tom.

He hesitated for a moment and smiled awkwardly. “It’s just a small matter. Sorry to have. troubled you to come personally, Mr. Johnson.”

“Tell me, what happened?” Tom put out the cigarette in his hand and casually looked up at Don who was behind Morris.

The man’s voice was low and cold, making one shudder.

Morris glared at Don. “Speak up! Are you mute now?!”
