Chapter 591: Your Alina Might Be Coming Back
Five Poisons narrowed her eyes and asked in a serious tone, "What do you mean? Did this Warren Pace save Tina, or did he prevent you from poisoning her?"
Rachel, surprised by the rare expression on Five Poisons' face, replied, "Yes, it was Warren Pace who saved Tina."
She began to relay the details of how Tina was rescued by Warren Pace to Five Poisons. Previously, she had wanted to speak about it, but Five Poisons had seemed uninterested in listening. However, after hearing the story, Five Poisons looked at Rachel very seriously, as if facing a great threat, "Are you sure that Warren Pace saved Tina after she drank the juice?"
"Yes, what's the matter?" Rachel looked puzzled at Five Poisons.
Usually, no matter what was said or done, Five Poisons rarely showed any emotion, as if everything were merely fleeting clouds to her.
Whether it involved murder or simply eating hot pot.
But this time, Rachel could clearly see that Five Poisons was deeply concerned.
After a moment, Five Poisons chuckled darkly, her black eyes lifting to gaze deeply at Rachel, "Go see Joshua again."
Rachel looked at Five Poisons in astonishment, "But we agreed only once, and I don't have many reasons to visit him again."
"No matter what reason you use, you must see him, Rachel. If you want to live well with the Brookes family, you must go!" Five Poisons stood up, a dangerous aura enveloping her. Rachel swallowed hard, "Can you tell me why?"
Five Poisons' lips curved slightly, a hint of a smile playing at her mouth, "Your Alina might be coming back."
Rachel shot up, "What are you saying! How is that possible? You told me she was dead!"
The solemnity on Five Poisons' face had vanished, replaced by a mocking tone, "Dead doesn't mean she can't come back to life. Your Alina is a clever woman; you should be thankful she doesn't remember anything." "What should I do? One Tina is troublesome enough, and now there's an Alina too. No, she can't come back, she absolutely must not return!"
Rachel paced frantically in front of Five Poisons, "Right, I must see Joshua. Joshua is Five Poisons' disciple, he must know the details of Alina's disappearance over the years and how to deal with her." With that, Rachel grabbed her bag and left.
Five Poisons watched Rachel's panicked retreat, laughing quietly to herself.
After returning home, Rachel thought of many excuses, but she knew that suggesting a meeting with Joshua would arouse suspicion among the other members of the Brookes family.
Especially Brandon, whose hostility towards her had deepened since Angela left.
It seemed she would have to seek Boris' help again.
Though the Pace family was not linked to CK, they still had connections with GTO. And years ago, Mr. Pace had campaigned alongside Grandpa Brookes in RST.
If Boris asked about Five Poisons under Mr. Pace's name, it wouldn't raise suspicion. With this thought, Rachel dialed Boris' number.
"Rachel, what's up so late?" Boris sounded pleasantly surprised.
Rachel responded softly, "Boris, haven't you slept yet? Were you waiting for my call?" Boris, already fond of Rachel, felt even more delighted upon hearing her say this.
"Yes, I was still waiting for your call. I've been waiting for twenty years."
Rachel laughed shyly, "I need a favor, do you think you can help?"

"Your matters are my matters," Boris said without hesitation.
Rachel felt relieved and reiterated her request.
Boris didn't agree immediately. "Rachel, why do you need to meet Joshua? And why must it be through me?"
"Not to hide anything from you, I feel largely responsible for Alina's disappearance. If I hadn't fallen asleep then, things might have ended differently. Since he says he knows where Alina is, I want to ask him about it." Rachel paused, then added, "But as you know, my brothers don't really trust me, so I don't want to alarm them."
Boris felt a pang of sympathy. "You shouldn't blame yourself. It wasn't your fault; you were just a child then. Don't worry, I'll help you with this."
"Boris, thank you," Rachel said, her voice choked with emotion.
True to his word, the next day Boris arrived at the Brookes family's door with a gift, asking Grandpa Brookes for the privilege to meet Joshua.
His argument was logical, and Grandpa Brookes did not refuse; he allowed him to go.
"Dad, why is Boris suddenly involved in these matters? He's usually busy taking care of Mr. Pace at home. What's got him interested all of a sudden?" Jack was puzzled.
Boris was the second son in the family, with one older brother and a younger brother and sister.
The other children were pillars of the community, especially his older brother, whom Jack held in great esteem.
Only Boris was considered underachieving within the entire Pace family.
Grandpa Brookes shook his head, "Who knows, but Jack, keep an eye on Rachel. Don't let her get too close to Boris. She never wanted to marry into that family, and now she's still entangled with them. And I don't like that boy; neither I nor his father approved, yet they keep growing closer."NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
Brandon laughed on the side. "Dad, you just don't understand, do you? It's called playing hard to get. Who knows what your precious daughter is really thinking?"
Jack watched his father and brother helplessly shake his head; he had no interest in their quarrels.
His two precious daughters' birthdays were approaching, and although they were keeping the celebrations simple this year, he still had to prepare early and invite many guests.
The invitations had already been sent out; it was time to select gifts.
Tina and Jared were also choosing gifts. "How about this pendant?" Tina showed Jared the tablet, displaying a design she made especially for Kiki and Mimi.
Jared nodded, "Not bad."
But Tina wasn't satisfied, "No, it's not good enough compared to those two pairs of shoes. Let's think some more."
Jared couldn't help but laugh at her determination.
He continued to browse his phone, checking the latest research data.
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed.
Boris wants to meet Joshua?
Mr. Pace had long stopped meddling in X Bureau affairs. What was Boris planning by meeting Joshua?
Jared tapped his phone a few times, and immediately a video popped up.
