Chapter: 886
Moreover, she felt a little surprised that Victor took the initiative to mention Joey's identity, although she knew deep inside that it was not true.
“Even in my presence, he is cautious with his words and actions. But
I can see that he likes you very much and naturally relies on you," he continued.
That was because Rachel was Joey's mother. She knew this, but Victor didn't.
"What do you mean by all this?" After a moment's silence, Rachel asked with a puzzled look.
"The car accident at the press conference was not what it seemed. I thought the person behind the car accident was the killer's partner in the lounge. We initially thought they came for me," Victor explained.
Hearing Victor's analysis, Rachel started to realize something.
"Wait a second..."
"My team of detectives investigated the whole scene. The car accident was obviously a distraction. Lukas checked the surveillance video. On the day of the press conference, an unmarked vehicle was parked outside the Sue Garden. If they intended to kill me, there was no need for them to have another car stay outside the Sue Garden since they already knew my route."
“They designed the car accident to kill Joey. Rachel's eyes widened in shock as her voice trembled in fear.
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.
