Rachels eyes widened. She subconsciously reached out a hand to hold him, but unexpectedly, he placed his left arm on her shoulder.
Rachels body stiffened. Although it was barely noticeable, she instinctively wanted to struggle out of Victors arm. Still, she was afraid that he would collapse and expose his injury in front of the media if she left.
Judging from the supposed car accident and the man who tried to kill him, it was clear that someone wanted Victor dead. They were clueless as to who it could be. If Victors injury was exposed at this moment, whoever was behind it would not let such a fantastic opportunity slide.
If she continued to struggle, Victor would be in more danger.
This thought quickly flashed through her mind and she decided to let him be. Victor felt that she wanted to break away. He saw how desperate she was to get rid of him and could only guess why she stopped resisting.
Smiling, he lowered his eyes and whispered, Thank you.
Thank you? Rachel furrowed her brows when she heard this.
You dont have to thank me. I didnt do this for you, she remarked coldly as she raised her eyes to look at him.
I said I would kill you with my own hands to avenge Abby. So you cant die before I get to do it.
Victor glanced down to see her face, but he couldnt see anything because her long eyelashes covered her eyes.
When he almost passed out in the lounge earlier, he remembered what she had said to him. He realized she meant those words, and he finally sensed her contempt for him, as well as how deeply Abbys death haunted her.
Okay, Ill wait for you to take my life, he replied.
Rachel didnt respond and closed her eyes.
After being postponed for more than an hour, the news conference finally started. Victor sat behind the large desk, holding Rachels shoulder with his left hand to conceal his injuries. Without further delay, they began.

On the huge screen, an autopsy report was displayed.
Everyone, Im sorry to keep you waiting. Were holding a press conference today to respond to questions that have lately been raised by the public. First of all, there is the matter regarding Odin
Sullivan, which has attracted the most attention and raised the most doubts. The truth is, we received some bad news from our overseas branch company two days ago. After we confirmed the news, were very sad to inform you today that Odin Sullivan was attacked while on his way to meet a client. He sustained serious injuries that eventually took his life.
Although everyone had been talking about it these days, the news has yet to be confirmed. After all, the news had traveled such a long distance from overseas that even the media were left guessing. And now that it was finally confirmed, everyone was shocked.
ALL of the reporters were asking questions left and right, and the cameras continued to blink and flash.
Mr. Sullivan, has the killer been arrested?
The emcee turned to Victor after hearing the question and immediately saw his hint. Then, he turned to face the reporter and answered,
The embassy and the local police station are already on this case and they are middle of joint investigations. Unfortunately, we cant provide you with much information about the situation.
The reporter frowned. He wanted Victor to answer his question, not the emcee. He was somewhat displeased by it. His lips twitched, indicating that he intended to offer a follow-up question, but the emcee took the initiative to speak first.
I appreciate your concern for Odin Sullivan, but this matter is still under investigation, and we cant go into too much detail at this time.
The reporter had to swallow his words.
