Betrayal At The Altar

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?” This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

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?!”
