Darcy met his gaze fearlessly. “You’re not the only one who survived. I thought you should have
understood that long ago.”
“What do you mean?” Ronnie’s expression changed slightly. His eyes flickered with a complicated light
as he stared at Darcy.
The Shadow had been loyal for generations. Although it was only loyal to one person, its ability was
obvious to all.
Since the Shadow had personally said that he was not the only one who had survived, there must be
others!
Thinking of this, Ronnie felt the blood in his body freeze. Even though he tried his best to suppress the
excitement in his heart, the trembling of his fingertips revealed the emotional fluctuations in his heart.
Darcy glanced at him indifferently. Then, he took out an aerated candy from his pocket and bit through
the hard icing. He said expressionlessly, “I’ve already said what I needed to say.”
With that, he turned around and left.
Ronnie watched him leave and immediately called the buzz-cut man in.
The buzz-cut man said respectfully, “Boss.”
“Check Jessica Tower for me. The sooner, the better!” Ronnie ordered. “Yes.”
At Sandalwood Hills.
Even at night, it was still brightly lit like a sparkling pearl in the dark night.
However, at this moment, Rachel had no time to appreciate it. She quickly returned to her room.
When she passed by the study, she was surprised to find that David was still awake.
Just as she was hesitating whether to go in and greet him, Mrs. Brown walked over with a cup of coffee
and said respectfully, “Miss Grey, you’re back.”
Rachel nodded and noticed the thing in her hand. “I’ll send it in.”
“Alright.” Mrs. Brown smiled and nodded.
Rachel took the coffee and was about to knock on the door.
Unexpectedly, the door suddenly opened from inside.
David grabbed her wrist and pulled her into the study.
She almost spilled the coffee in her hand.
“You won a lot of money tonight, right?”
His voice was low and deep. It sounded beside her ear, causing Rachel’s heart to skip a beat.
She looked up and met his dark eyes. Her fingertips curled up slightly.
“I…” She swallowed guiltily. “I was just playing around casually…”
“Playing around? Playing around in front of Hell? Playing around casually and using yourself as a bet?
Playing around casually, and you almost got yourself killed?” David’s dark eyes were stormy. “I was
worried that you would encounter some danger when you went out alone, but you took the initiative to
enter the tiger’s den! Rachel Grey, should I praise you for your courage, hmm?”
There was irrepressible anger in his tone.
Rachel’s eyes narrowed slightly. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, but she did not respond.
She originally wanted to find a random reason to hide this matter, but now, it seemed that nothing could
escape David’s eyes.
After pondering for a long time, Rachel reached out and tugged at the corner of his shirt. “I didn’t know
Ronnie would be there, and I don’t think I’ll lose…”
Not to mention anything else, Rachel was still confident in the casino.
“It looks like you guys are having fun. You’re already calling each other by names intimately.”
Rachel was shocked by his words.
Indeed, when a man was angry and jealous, he became unreasonable!
“If calling him by his name is considered a sign of intimacy, then what are we now?”
As she spoke, Rachel stood on her tiptoes and planted a gentle kiss on his lips.
Once she kissed his lips, she stopped and retreated.
David’s eyebrows moved slightly. He lowered his gaze and stared at Rachel in his arms without
blinking.
“I admit that I took some risks tonight, but I promise you that it will never happen again.”
As she spoke, she leaned against David’s chest.
“It’ll never happen again?” David’s well-defined fingers lifted her chin, forcing her to raise her head to
face him.
Rachel nodded.
However, she could not help but think that no one had the ability to predict the future. She would make
this promise for the time being.
If something really happened in the future, she would not sit back and do nothing.
Her slender arms wrapped around David’s lean waist. “David Jones, I’m not someone that survives by
relying on others, let alone your weakness. I want to be your armor and fight alongside you.”
“I know.” David leaned over and planted a gentle kiss on her forehead. “It’s getting late. You should go
to bed.”
Rachel nodded. A warm feeling flowed through her heart. “Okay,”
The next day, Rachel sat on the sofa and watched the Cruise Group’s live broadcast on the internet
with her tablet.
The reporters were all gathered at the entrance of the Cruise Group.
There were also many fans of Olivia Cruise.
Back then, when she suddenly left the industry without any warning, many fans who liked and
supported her were disappointed.
Now that their idol had been wronged, as a fan, they naturally had to rush out to support her.
The moment Olivia appeared, the fans shouted hysterically, “Olivia, Olivia, you’re the best. We will be
with you forever!”
The deafening slogan made a mocking smile appear on Rachel’s face.
She had to admit that Olivia was indeed good at winning people’s support.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t still have so many fans supporting her even though she had retired from the
industry for half a year.
When Olivia heard the fans’ slogan, the gloominess in her heart finally dissipated a little, and a rare
smile appeared on her face.
She faced the crowd and bowed slightly. “Thank you, everyone.”
With that, she turned around and walked into the Cruise Group.
As soon as she entered, Olivia received a call from Marina Jones. “Everyone on site is mine. You can
speak according to our plan without any worries. They won’t make things difficult for you.”
“Got it, Marina,” Olivia said.
Marina was not in a hurry to hang up the phone. She said earnestly, “Olivia, although you are my
g*ddaughter, in my heart, I treat you as my biological
daughter. I hope that you can become stronger than anyone else, so no matter what plan you have in
the future, you have to inform me in advance, understand?”
“I understand.” Olivia pursed her lips. “Marina, don’t worry. I’ll listen to you.”
Hearing this, Marina nodded in satisfaction. She gave a few simple instructions and hung up the phone.
Soon, the reporters in the venue were arranged to take their seats. It was time for Olivia to speak on
stage.
“First of all, thank you to all the media for your concern for me and attention on this matter. Secondly,
I’m sorry to meet you in this situation. Lastly, I guarantee that I will give everyone a satisfactory answer
to the false rumors online and the accusation of me maliciously hurting others.”
Her attitude was neither servile nor overbearing, and she maintained a gentle smile on her face.
Even though she was standing on the stage, she still gave off an approachable attitude.
“From the moment it happened, I went to investigate immediately and tried my best to understand the
cause and effect of the matter. It’s undeniable that my assistant, Lynn Wright, was responsible for Miss
Rachel Grey’s accident. Lynn’s actions were all done by her alone, and she did not accept anyone’s
instructions. After the incident, I personally apologized to Miss Grey and asked for her forgiveness. I
have video evidence.”
