Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 65

"Really?"

On the contrary, Rachel felt her appetite for the past two days had been much better.Now, she wasn't sure if this was because the food in Yaprye suited her better or because her baby finally decided to cut its mother some slack.

"Of course."

"Then, I'll be sure to eat more from now on,"

Rachel promised with a smile.

Then, she changed into her slippers and said, "I'm getting sleepy, Abby, so I'll rest for a while.Wake me up when dinner is ready."

Abby nodded.

"Don't worry, Miss Bennet.I'll cook a meal you'll enjoy."

Rachel smiled and nodded, and then she made for the bedroom.

However, she stopped after a few steps, as something had occurred to her.

Without turning around, she asked, "By the way, how's Andy's divorce case going?"

Abby, who was just heading for the kitchen, stopped and replied, "Oh, he won the case.The husband won't be getting even a penny after the divorce.Mr.Torres said he won only because you provided him evidence of the husband's affair."

After a slight pause, she smiled and asked, "Miss Bennet, how on earth did you get those photos of that man having an affair?"

"Well." Rachel smiled.

"It was easy.I spent quite a bit of money to get a private detective to investigate."

"But Mr.Torres said his client had hired a private detective, too, but couldn't get any evidence despite having the husband followed for three months.On the other hand, the private detective you hired found solid, admissible evidence in just a few days.He is pretty skilled!" Abby said with admiration.

A bright smile appeared on Rachel's face, but she said nothing and went upstairs to the bedroom.

Unbeknownst to Abby, her assessment was spot-on.

Rachel's private detective was more than capable—he was Quintin, the second-best hacker in the Red Hackers Alliance.

Rachel shook her head with a smile and closed the bedroom door behind her.

When she sat down on the bed, her phone rang.

She took the phone out and checked the caller ID for only a moment before swiping the red button on the screen, instantly decline the call.

Her expression didn't change even once.

But before she could turn her attention to other things, the phone rang again.

It rang only once, though, because she had declined the call again.

However, the caller refused to give up, calling again right after the previous call was declined.

The person seemed determined to reach her and wouldn't take "No" for an answer.

So, Rachel answered the call this time, albeit with a cold expression.

"Rachel, why the heck did you reject my previous calls and take so long to answer this one? Do you know our father is in the hospital now?"

Alice hollered on the other end of the line.

‘'Jack is in the hospital?”

"Now, I know," Rachel indifferently said as she casually relaxing against the headboard.

"Then, come to the hospital right now!"

Alice hissed in a loud voice and hung up the call before Rachel could reply.

Rachel sneered at the phone.

Then, swiping the screen, she navigated to her call logs, located Alice's number, and blocked it.

The next day A loud bang reverberated across the archive as the door was slammed open.

"Rachel!"

Alice bellowed, storming in the room in her high heels.

"Why didn't you come to the hospital to see our father yesterday?" she screamed.

Abby was sorting out some materials for Rachel when the door was slammed open.

Taken aback by the yell, she quickly hurried over and greeted the angry guest, "Hello, Miss Jenkins."

Alice ignored her at first and looked around the archive.

When she didn't see Rachel, her expression darkened even further.

"Where's Rachel?" she asked Abby.

"Miss Bennet went to deliver the documents.Do you mind telling me what you want Miss Bennet for, Miss Jenkins? I can pass on a message…"

"Clap!"

A sharp sound rang out as Alice slapped Abby across the face in rage.

The sudden strike forced Abby to turn her head sideways.The sting caused her pupils to dilate and water.

"Miss Jenkins, how could you…" she muttered in shock.

"What? You are just a lowly servant.Why can't I slap you?" Alice asked with a sneer.

"You are such a traitor.Do you really think Rachel can protect you? Dream on! She can't even protect herself." Alice cackled with a wicked grin.

Ignoring her stinging cheek and watery eyes, Abby grabbed Alice's hand and demanded, "What do you mean, Miss Jenkins? Why did you say Miss Bennet can't protect herself? Is something wrong with her?"

Alice's face contorted in disgust, and she wrenched her hand away.
