Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 354

Victor didn’t say anything, but his intent was clear. He showed that Rachel was right about it.

Rachel’s lips were pursed tightly and she couldn’t help but feel nervous. Her hands were clenched into fists and her nails were digging into her skin. She ought to keep her cool so she wouldn’t reveal her secret in front of Victor.

“You’re telling me this now?” Rachel quickly understood Victor’s purpose for bringing this up.

Although she didn’t think she knew Victor very well, the six months they spent together told her he wouldn’t say anything until it was absolutely necessary. He must’ve had something in mind. “I want you to stay and take care of Joey.” Victor sounded calm and did not feel angry after Rachel revealed his true intentions. Rachel was taken aback by Victor’s candor.

“Why would you think i’d do what you asked, Mr. Sullivan?” Victor’s bold request made Rachel huff and laugh sarcastically.

“Odin is dead,” Victor replied, “You know what happened in the press conference that day. Although the Sullivan Group is now indestructible, the people within it have divided into two factions. One faction supports Odin, and the other faction supports me.”

Outsiders didn’t know that the Sullivan Group was divided into two factions. After all, Maria and Odin were always nice to Victor in front of other people, as if they were really a close family. However, Rachel knew everything. She had learned about Victor’s life experience from Carolyn since the day she married into the Sullivan family. She also understood that the great Sullivan Group was not as peaceful as it appeared to be. But what did it have to do with her anyway? Rachel could say her thoughts out loud if she wanted, but she kept them to herself.

She simply appeared uninterested and said nothing in response. “Now that Odin is dead and I’m in the hospital, the Sullivan Group is in disarray. The person who instigated the car accident has yet to be apprehended. Although Joey lives in the Sue Garden, he doesn’t listen to anyone at all. Once he escapes or goes outside, my people may not be able to protect him well. The kid seems to like you very much. If you’re willing to stay, he may not be so reluctant to stay in the Sue Garden.” Victor said in a low but clear voice. Anyone could tell that Joey adored Rachel and kept relying on her.

Rachel was the best person to ask to accompany Joey at home. That way, he wouldn’t have any thoughts of going outside anymore. Silence filled the air. Rachel had to admit that Victor’s thoughts surprised her. It wasn’t for any other reason at all. It was to ensure Joey’s safety. She had always thought that as long as Victor wouldn’t discover Joey’s true identity, it wouldn’t be a major concern if Victor mistook Joey for Odin’s kid. But now that she understood the car accident was intended for Joey, she instantly realized that while this confusion might have caused Victor to doubt Joey’s identity, it had also drawn Odin’s enemies. Rachel didn’t have a clue on what kind of people Odin had offended these years when he was abroad, and she had not looked into it. the car accident was truly intended for Joey, the perpetrator could only be someone seeking vengeance on Odin’s family

And being “Odin’s son,” Joey was the best target for their revenge. Rachel unknowingly put her own son at risk.

“You have a point there.” Rachel soon regained her composure and decided not to say yes right away.
