Rebirth Into My Second Chance novel Chapter 219

On the way to see Tracey, Helen was silent the entire trip.

I didn't say much either. She hadn't even reported back to Max, which got me thinking – was I wrong in my assumptions? Why were Max and Richard meeting in secret? What were they hiding from me? What was true and what was false?

But as soon as we arrived at the prison gate and explained our purpose, the guard told us, "I'm sorry, you're a step too late. Tracey was just rushed to Century Wellness Hospital with a sudden heart attack. The situation was quite unexpected, it might…"

I turned to Helen, shocked. "Did you tell Max I was coming to see Tracey, so you decided to get rid of her first?"

Helen panicked, grabbing my hand. "No, Ms. Claire, please don't get the wrong idea about me and Mr. Hilton. We really didn't do anything."

But I didn't want to hear her explanations.

The facts were right in front of me.

At that moment, a Maybach pulled up right in front of us.

Richard somehow got wind that I was here at the prison to find Tracey.

"Are you going with me or staying with her?"

Richard pointed at Helen, forcing me to make a choice. This time, without hesitation, I chose to get into Richard's car. Not because I trusted him, but because I didn't want to be trapped by Max any longer.

I wanted to know the truth!

"Ms. Claire, you can't!"

"Don't go with him, it's dangerous. You have no idea what Richard is capable of! Tracey's sudden heart condition is definitely related to him."

But I covered my ears, refusing to listen!

It wasn't until Richard got in with a sly smile and closed the door that I finally let my hands down.

"It was you! Why did you make Tracey take the blame? Haven't you always loved Tracie? And you've been trying to kill me too?"

I dared not mention that in my past life, he was the one who killed me.

He suddenly laughed coldly, looking out the window at the sky.

Then he turned back to me. "Have you ever thought that maybe Max is the one who wants you dead, and he's trying to frame me? After all these years of kindness towards you, haven't you felt anything?"

I was speechless, staring blankly at Richard.

"Max wants me dead. He's been putting on a show, you know? The Hilton family elders are all in on it, never intending to strip away those shares. I'll take you to the Hilton Group today, you'll see, everything's peaceful!"

I felt an unbearable pain in my stomach, looking at Richard in disbelief.
