Chapter: 887
"Now that Odin is dead and I'm in the hospital, the Sullivan Group is in disarray. The person who instigated the car accident has yet to be apprehended. Although Joey lives in the Sue Garden, he doesn't listen to anyone at all. Once he escapes or goes outside, my people may not be able to protect him well. The kid seems to like you very much. If you're willing to stay, he may not be so reluctant to stay in the Sue Garden." Victor said in a low but clear voice.
Anyone could tell that Joey adored Rachel and kept relying on her.
Rachel was the best person to ask to accompany Joey at home. That way, he wouldn't have any thoughts of going outside anymore.
Silence filled the air. Rachel had to admit that Victor's thoughts surprised her.
It wasn't for any other reason at all. It was to ensure Joey's safety.
She had always thought that as long as Victor wouldn't discover
Joey's true identity, it wouldn't be a major concern if Victor mistook Joey for Odin's kid. But now that she understood the car accident was intended for Joey, she instantly realized that while this confusion might have caused Victor to doubt Joey's identity, it had also drawn Odin's enemies.
Rachel didn't have a clue on what kind of people Odin had offended these years when he was abroad, and she had not looked into it.
If the car accident was truly intended for Joey, the perpetrator could only be someone seeking vengeance on Odin's family.
And being “Odin's son," Joey was the best target for their revenge.
Rachel unknowingly put her own son at risk.
"You have a point there." Rachel soon regained her composure and decided not to say yes right away.
"But you seem to have forgotten that Joey is the Sullivan Group's heir and your nephew. He has nothing to do with me, and I am not obligated to take care of him for you. Besides, how can I be sure that what you're saying is true?"
Rachel narrowed her eyes, her distrust for Victor clearly showing.
Victor was hard to read that she couldn't tell if he was telling the truth or not.
"What should I do to make you believe me?" Victor asked in a calm tone.
What could he possibly do to persuade her?
Hearing Victor's question stunned Rachel for a moment. Then she looked up into his incredibly deep eyes, making it difficult for her to discern what he was thinking.
After being lost in thought, Rachel turned aside and didn't say anything. She put her hand inside her pocket and felt the sharp corner of the praying pendant with her fingertips. She calmed down almost immediately after being upset.
"Mr. Sullivan, you should already know this by now. If you want others to believe you, you have to show your sincerity, right?"
Rachel replied in a relaxed tone while holding the pendant.
“What kind of sincerity are you looking for?"
"I can promise you that I will stay and look after Joey, but..."
Rachel locked her serious gaze on Victor and continued, "I don't want to see you."
‘I don't want to see you.'
