He left without another word. Rachel watched him leave from the doorway, making sure he’d disappeared down the stairs before she stepped back into her room and closed the door. She looked skeptically down at the plate of fruits in her hand and raised an eyebrow.

She knew that he’d only brought the fruits as an excuse to check that she was staying in her room. Lukas had been a servant to the Sullivan family for most of his life. He was a quiet, unobtrusive person who was usually quite content to mind his own business and follow orders. But Rachel knew him well enough to know that he’d been trying to gauge her responses to his seemingly harmless banter.
Lukas wouldn’t have been suspicious that something strange was going on in her room unless someone had told him something.
Just who could that “someone” be?
Suddenly, her phone started ringing. It broke through her thoughts and brought her back to reality.
She took one glance at the caller ID before she hurriedly answered the phone, “Andy, what’s wrong?”
“Miss Bennet, your father is here.” Andy said to her. As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Jack. The man was sitting in the living room as if he owned the place.
“Wait for me,” Rachel said and put the phone down. After an agonizingly long wait, Andy saw a Maybach pull up outside the Bennet family’s house. At first glance, Andy thought he was hallucinating, but once he’d shaken his head and squinted his eyes, he realized what he was seeing was real.
After he’d been released from custody three days ago, Andy had rushed back to the Bennet family’s house, only to find that neither Rachel nor Abby were there. That same evening, Rachel had called him to tell him to stay at the house. She’d explained that she wouldn’t be able to come home for a little while.
Back then, Andy hadn’t understood what she’d meant. But now, seeing the familiar license plate of the Maybach, he finally realized what had happened. Rachel must be staying with Victor; and he had a feeling it wasn’t voluntary.
Once the car stopped, Rachel climbed out, followed by two bodyguards.
Andy shook his head to get himself back to his senses. He hurried over to her to greet her, and couldn’t help but look over her shoulder, hoping to see Abby. He didn’t. All he saw were the two blank-faced bodyguards. He felt his stomach twist worriedly.
“Miss Bennet, are you okay? Where’s Abby? Why didn’t she come here with you?”
“I’m fine.” Rachel raised her hand to dismiss his worries.

“As for Abby…” Rachel’s eyes darkened at the mention of Abby’s name. She forced herself to remain calm as she said, “I didn’t think she’d be much help in this situation. I thought it was a better idea if I didn’t bring her along.”
Andy’s worry visibly eased. He breathed a sigh of relief and said,
“Thank goodness that’s the case. I’ve been so worried about her recently. Miss Bennet, please don’t hide things from me. I know there isn’t much I can do to help you, but I will do everything I can.”
Rachel smiled at him.
“I know. And I thank you for that.”
“Your father has been waiting for you inside,” said Andy, jerking a thumb over his shoulder.
When Andy had called her earlier, Rachel hadn’t left immediately to go back to the Bennet family’s house. She’d told Andy just to carry on like normal, and to act as if nothing was out of place. Two hours later, she’d finally decided to go home.
Rachel nodded gratefully at him.
“Thank you. You can carry on with whatever work you have.”
Andy didn’t move away. He nibbled his lip nervously, cleared his throat and said in a serious tone, “I think the waiting has made Mr.
Jenkins a little impatient. If I could be so bold as to say, he may lose his temper any moment now. Please, try and keep your cool if he says something unpleasant.”
