CHAPTER 153: CHAPTER 153: SIR, HOW SHOULD WE DEAL WITH RACHEL SHAW?

Rachel Shaw swallowed nervously, her face as white as a sheet.

She only then realized that even before Damien Lancaster mentioned what she did, she had already confessed unconsciously.

She bit her lip; there was no room for regret now, only to brace herself and continue.

"Damien, this is a false accusation against me... I swear, I swear that after your last warning, I haven’t done anything bad..." Rachel Shaw earnestly raised three fingers.

"Really?" Damien Lancaster raised an eyebrow, his deep eyes held a subtle smile, yet looked like a devil raising his sickle, instilling fear deep within.

Rachel Shaw nodded desperately, "Yes, truly... really!"

Damien Lancaster said nothing, just stared at her.

Just as Rachel Shaw felt her anxious heart was about to jump out, Damien Lancaster reached out and lifted her chin.

Rachel was like a statue, not daring to move.

Damien Lancaster’s voice was haunting, "Rachel Shaw, we’ve known each other since childhood, grew up together. How have I treated you?"

"Very... very well..."

Damien Lancaster, by nature, was emotionally cold, truly devoted to very few, but Rachel Shaw was one due to their shared childhood bond.

Yet, it seemed he never truly understood this woman.

"Rachel Shaw, do you really love me that much?"

Rachel Shaw wasn’t sure why he asked this moment; she only felt that Damien was extremely dangerous now. She cautiously nodded, tears fell instantly.

"Damien... I love you, really love you... As long as I can be with you, I can do anything, I’m willing to do anything, no matter the cost, I want to be with you."

Damien Lancaster sneered, "Really, no matter the cost?"

Rachel Shaw nodded vigorously, "Yes, as long as I can be with you, no matter the cost, I’m willing."

Damien Lancaster sneered again, releasing her chin, "Get up."

Rachel Shaw was taken aback.

"Damien?"

Rachel Shaw hadn’t yet responded to Damien’s change.

Did he ask her to get up, did this mean he forgave her?

Did her heartfelt words move Damien Lancaster?

Rachel Shaw immediately got up from the ground, calling out to Damien Lancaster pitifully, "Damien..."

"From today, move into the Imperial Bay Villa."

Rachel Shaw’s eyes lit up with joy.

What did Damien Lancaster say? He told her to move into the Imperial Bay Villa?

Is this? Is this real?

Rachel Shaw couldn’t believe it, wondering if she heard wrong.

Did Damien Lancaster accept her?

"Damien... did I hear wrong, can I really move into the Imperial Bay Villa? What about our engagement?"

Damien Lancaster coldly curved his lips, "Since Gregory Lancaster has agreed to marry you, the engagement will naturally be held, I’ll ensure it’s grand, you won’t be shortchanged."

Rachel Shaw was completely immersed in joy, not realizing what this meant.

She was so happy she couldn’t find her bearings.

She thought Damien Lancaster would wake up and scold her, punish her; she was ready for the punishment.

But not only did he not do so, he even agreed to marry her, letting her move into the home he once shared with Ivy Summers.

This was something Rachel Shaw never dared to dream of.

The joy made her doubt if she was dreaming.

She pinched herself hard.

It hurts.

Not a dream.

Real, it’s real!

Rachel Shaw couldn’t help but smile with joy.

She knew it, she knew Damien Lancaster had feelings for her.

Their feelings couldn’t be destroyed by Ivy Summers.

"Damien, thank you, thank you for caring about me this much."

Damien Lancaster sneered, "I’m tired, leave now."

"Damien, I want to stay with you."

Damien Lancaster didn’t give her another glance, "I don’t like to repeat myself."

Afraid of angering Damien Lancaster, Rachel Shaw had to leave first.

For some reason, although Damien Lancaster agreed to marry her, the unease in her heart hadn’t dissipated.

Rachel Shaw left, and the ward fell silent.

Damien Lancaster raised a hand and massaged his aching brow, feeling somewhat irritable...

The next day.

Rachel Shaw came to take care of Damien Lancaster, at that moment, Julian Jacobs entered.

Rachel Shaw immediately put on a cold face, adopting the stance of a mistress, "Julian Jacobs, why are you here? Did you forget you were dismissed?"

"I asked him back."

Rachel Shaw turned her head, "Damien?"

Damien Lancaster, "Is there a problem?"

Rachel Shaw shook her head not daringly, "No, no problem..."

Julian Jacobs gave Rachel Shaw a glance, snorted proudly.

Humph, do you think you’re more important to him than I am?

I’m much more important than you.

Julian Jacobs strutted towards Damien Lancaster like a victorious rooster.

Rachel Shaw bit her lip.

She knew she had offended Julian Jacobs that day.

In the future she would become Damien’s wife, so offending someone by his side wasn’t good.

But it didn’t matter, once her relationship with Damien was stable, she could get rid of him whenever she wanted.

"You should leave first."

"Okay."

Rachel Shaw obediently went out.

Just a few steps ahead, two police officers approached.

"Rachel Shaw?"

Rachel Shaw instinctively took a step back, "Yes, what do you want?"

The two policemen displayed their IDs, "Police, there have been developments in the previous case, we need you to cooperate and come with us for some investigations."

Rachel Shaw furrowed her eyebrows, "Didn’t I clear the suspicion before? Why still investigate me?"

"New evidence has emerged." The police said without detailing, cuffing Rachel Shaw from left to right. "Come with us."

"Wait!" Rachel Shaw lifted her head. "Do you know who I am? I’m the future daughter-in-law of the Lancaster Family, do you dare to touch me?"

"It doesn’t matter whose daughter-in-law you are, please cooperate with our investigation." The police were unimpressed by Rachel’s status.

Rachel Shaw was directly taken away.

In the hospital room.

Julian Jacobs, "Sir, aren’t you going to deal with Miss Shaw?"

Seeing Rachel Shaw so arrogant just now, Julian was extremely surprised.

Damien Lancaster’s eyes narrowed dangerously, his expression icy, sending shivers down one’s spine. He said slowly, "No rush, death is not enough to atone for her sins."

Whether it was him or Rachel Shaw, both had to live to atone for their sins.

Death was too easy.

Listening to Damien’s words, Julian felt a chill run down his back; at this moment, Damien was like a beast showing its fangs, enjoying the pleasure of slowly torturing its prey.

"Did you find out what happened last night?"

"It was the Summers Family. They arranged for Mrs. Holloway to meet with Leo Holloway, who’s in his fifties. Leo initially wanted to marry Nina Summers, but she was unwilling, so they forced Mrs. Holloway to marry him."

Damien lifted his gaze, "Leo gave her the drug?"

"No, it should have been done by the Summers Family."

"The Summers Family." Damien carefully chewed on these words.

"However, the Summers Family doesn’t seem to be doing well now."

Ivy Summers didn’t let herself suffer last night and gave the Summers Family a hard time. Leo Holloway is causing a scene at their place now.

"Then add fuel to the fire; doesn’t Leo want to marry Nina?"

Julian instantly understood Damien’s intention.

"Understood."

...

Ivy Summers was feeling troubled when a call came in.

It was Holly Sutton, who immediately started cursing her, "Ivy Summers, you’re pregnant? What nonsense are you spouting? You claim to be pregnant but were kicked out by the Lancaster Family, who are you fooling?"

"President Holloway, this damn girl lied to you; she’s not pregnant at all."

"I don’t care if you’re pregnant or not; today, you must give me an explanation. And you, you have some nerve to look down on me, don’t you?"

"No, President Holloway, I definitely don’t look down on you, it’s just that my cousin is lying..."

Listening to the chaos on the other end, Ivy knew Leo was causing a scene at the Summers Family.

"Ivy Summers, I’ll give you half an hour, get over here immediately." Holly ordered loudly.

Ivy put her hand to her ear, pretending to amplify the sound, "What? I can’t hear you, what did you say?"

"Ivy Summers, you..."

Ivy directly hung up the phone and tossed it aside, her eyes filled with coldness.

Seeing that box, Ivy picked it up and shook it; it seemed to contain something like paper.

Ivy tried to open it and entered a password.

First attempt: Failed.

Second attempt: Failed.

Attempt after attempt: Failed...

Ivy tried her mother’s birthday, her own birthday, her father’s birthday, and her parent’s wedding anniversary, but all failed without exception.

If she remembered correctly, her father once told her that her mother suffered a head injury and was left with occasional memory loss, so she had a habit of jotting down important things.

She had a special notebook, which should still be at the Summers Family’s place.

Looks like she had to make a trip back.

At the Summers Family.

Leo Holloway, with a bad temper and a highly sensitive sense of face, had reached the peak of his anger over being deceived. He came to the Summers Family with people, causing havoc and driving the family into a corner.

The four members of the Summers Family hated Ivy Summers to death. Nina Summers kept explaining, "President Holloway, these are all Ivy Summers’ lies; she’s not pregnant at all. Think about it, how much does a powerful family like the Lancaster Family value heirs? If she really was pregnant, how could the Lancaster Family kick her out."

Leo frowned, not denying that this made sense.

He, too, valued heirs greatly, let alone a prestigious family like the Lancasters.

"She was lying to me?"

The four nodded in unison.

Leo’s face darkened, "Where’s Ivy Summers, let her get out."

Ivy Summers happened to walk in from outside.

"Ivy Summers is over there." Nina shouted, pointing to Ivy.

Furious, Leo stood up, "You wench, you dared to trick me."

Without expression, Ivy asked, "What did I trick you about?"

"You’re not pregnant at all."

Ivy looked at Leo’s fiery expression and nodded, "So what? Does that change the fact she doesn’t want to marry you and looks down on you?"

In a single sentence, Ivy redirected Leo’s anger back onto Nina.

Seeing Leo looking at her, Nina immediately said, "President Holloway, I don’t look down on you, I..."

Ivy nodded, "If you don’t look down on him, then you look up to him and want to marry him. Then go ahead and marry him."

"President Holloway, my cousin is so eager to marry you, you shouldn’t miss out."

Leo glanced at Ivy then looked at Nina.

Although Ivy was much prettier than Nina, indeed, Nina hadn’t been married or had children, which he preferred.

Leo raised his hand and pulled Nina over, "Don’t worry, I won’t let you down."

Nina screamed in fright as Leo held her, "President Holloway, President Holloway, I can’t, I can’t, I have a boyfriend..."

"Break up with your boyfriend, that shouldn’t be an obstacle to becoming Mrs. Holloway." Ivy said in a light tone.

"Ivy Summers! Shut up." Nina was furious.

Seeing Nina in Leo’s arms, Jean Jacobs immediately went to reclaim her daughter.

Holly came forward, protectively holding Nina in her arms like a mother hen, "Ivy Summers, you just want to turn our family upside down, don’t you?"

Watching this scene, Ivy still felt a sting in her already battered heart.

She never understood why Holly treated her and Nina so differently when she was little.

Not comprehending, she coldly snorted, "This is turning things upside down?"

Holly gritted her teeth, "President Holloway, Nina truly can’t marry you, her boyfriend is Keith Chambers, have you heard of the Chambers Family?"

"The young master of the Chambers Family?" Although not as prominent as the Lancaster Family, the Chambers were still wealthy.

It wasn’t worth offending the Chambers Family over a woman.

Seeing Leo hesitating, Holly continued, "President Holloway, Ivy Summers wasn’t pregnant at all, don’t forget how she deceived you. You should take her back now and teach her a good lesson."

"Teach her a good lesson; are you even qualified to do that?"

At this moment, a deep voice came in.
