Rachel had thought that taking down the trending search on Twitter would have been enough to keep Olivia in line, but she had been proven wrong as Olivia continued to find ways to cause trouble.
Rachel turned and left. She took out her phone to send a message to Lucas, [Brother, do me a favor.]
In the next second, Lucas called her back and lazily said, “Rachel Grey, you’re the first person I’ve seen in my life who asks for help so shamelessly.”
“I’ll send you a document later. Please help me post a video on all major forums and include the title Entertainment Industry’s Popular Star Collaborates with Unidentified Criminals to Commit Assault in Public. Make the font bold and large. The more conspicuous, the better!” Rachel then said casually, “Also, please blur out my face to avoid my maternal grandfather finding out.”
Three minutes later, Lucas completed a task and couldn’t help muttering, “Do I really have to do this little thing myself?”
“If it requires Mr. Johnson’s help, it’s definitely not little,” Rachel said, hanging up and sending a document to Lucas via Whatsapp.
Mary took a deep look at her beloved car that was ruined, holding back her heartache, and caught up with Rachel’s footsteps. She said indignantly, “You should have revealed your identity earlier and humbled her. Let’s see if she still has the nerve to be so arrogant!”
“I was the one who voluntarily drew a line with the Johnson family,” Rachel said. “Moreover, the Johnson family forbids anyone flaunting their wealth.”
The origin of this family rule was entirely due to her mother, Sophia Johnson, who had been kidnapped by bad people when she was young. Even after her mother was rescued, her maternal grandfather hid all the news about her mother.
So whether it was the Johnson family’s heiress, Sophia, or the current Johnson family’s granddaughter, Rachel, very few people knew about them.
Meanwhile, Lucas received and opened the document. He watched the video content, and there was no warmth on his handsome face, and a thin layer of ice seemed to cover his features. “She’s really asking for it!”
His clearly defined fingers swiftly danced on the keyboard, and with a string of intricate and complex codes, all the information about Olivia appeared before him. As his cursor scrolled through, a mischievous smile appeared on his lips.
“This is really interesting!”
On the other side, Eddie burst into the CEO’s office in a hurry after receiving the news.
Upon seeing Eddie’s rushed appearance, David showed a hint of displeasure in his eyebrows.
“Sir, Miss Grey has been attacked,” Eddie said, handing his phone over to David. “At 1:00 p.m. this afternoon, when Miss Grey was leaving the underground parking lot, she was attacked by unknown criminal forces. Fortunately, Miss Grey reacted quickly and was not injured. I have already sent our people to arrest the criminal group, and they are currently being interrogated.”
“Good job.” David returned Eddie’s phone.
Eddie humbly smiled and took the phone, and David’s cold voice sounded again as he did. “Tell finance to double your bonus this month.”
Wow, it turned out that everything revolved around Miss Grey. She was the wealth code that led to getting rich!
Eddie tried to suppress the smile that unconsciously appeared on his face and respectfully said, “Thank you, sir!”
“Control the online public opinion and do not affect her mood. I don’t want to see any comments about her.” David slowly stood up, putting his hand in his pocket. He walked toward the floor–to–ceiling window with long and steady strides.
Although it was just a brief sentence, Eddie could sense a strong sense of hostility in it.
He looked up at the man, and his gaze deepened.
Having followed David for many years, he had forgotten his true character. Perhaps it was because Eddie had been living comfortably for too long.
Under this mesmerizing appearance was a man who was vicious and ruthless.
Eddie lowered his eyes and replied, “Yes, sir!”
On the way back to the company, Rachel received a call from Tom, which didn’t come as a surprise at all.
She did not need to guess to know that Lucas must have sold her out by playing nice to the other party.
She heaved a sigh of relief and picked up the phone. She called out softly, “Uncle.”
“You must be scared.” Tom skipped the small talk and went straight to the point. “Lucas told me everything about you. Don’t worry. I won’t let you suffer for nothing! I’ll definitely get to the bottom of this.”
The man’s voice was low and had an imperceptible edge to it.
“Uncle, I can handle this myself,” Rachel said.
“I’ve already sent people to look into it. We’ll get the result soon!” Tom’s tone was low and filled with displeasure. “This matter is too serious. There’s no reason for the other party to leave without paying after hurting you!”
Hearing the conviction in his uncle’s tone, Rachel felt a warm current in her heart.
This feeling of being protected by her family made Rachel feel as if she had an army behind her.
Rachel calmed down and said docilely, “Since I’m the Johnson family’s child, how can I be bullied so easily? Let me handle it myself. Moreover, the other party didn’t hurt me. There’s no need for you to mobilize so many people.”
Tom, who was on the other end of the phone, was silent for a long time. In the end, he compromised and sighed. “I won’t interfere with you, but I definitely won’t let you suffer for no reason!”
In other words, she could do whatever she wanted but this didn’t conflict with what he wanted to do.
After hanging up, Mary looked at Rachel enviously.
In her impression, the Johnson family had been way too partial to Rachel.
She remembered this one time clearly when Rachel casually said that she wanted to eat ice cream. Tom bought all of Seaxas’s ice cream because he did not know what flavor Rachel wanted to eat.
It was precisely because of this that Mary deeply understood what it meant to be loved by everyone.
Thinking of this, she sighed slowly. “To be honest, I didn’t know what jealousy was before I saw you.”
“Huh?” Rachel raised her eyebrows slightly, revealing an indifferent attitude.
The unhappy Mary looked at Rachel aggrievedly. “I’m the daughter of one of Seaxas’s four great families, the Green family. In the Green family, I can get whatever I want, but compared to you, I feel like I am just an orphan adopted by them.”
“A while ago, I heard that a certain rich man spent 100 thousand dollars on the bracelet at the Magnificent Jewelry Auction.” Rachel picked up her wrist and looked at her with a meaningful gaze. “It looks exactly like yours.
