His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 1271 Visit Miranda

Early the next morning, Bernard and Rachel made their way to the police station. The sun shone

brightly as they stepped out of the car. After yesterday's near-death experience, Rachel felt thankful for

this brand new day.

The police station was a busy place. A lot of police officers came and went as they sat in the waiting

area. A few minutes later, a policewoman finally approached them. "Good morning. This way ma'am,"

she said as she led them to her desk for questioning.

Rachel reported the evidences she collected to the police, which included the evidence of Miranda

killing Lance and the matter of Miranda and Danny transferring the property illegally. She also charged

Miranda of kidnapping and attempted murder.

The police checked the evidences she presented and told her that they would deal with the case as

soon as possible.

On the way back from the police station, Rachel was absent-minded. She was thinking that after

coming back, Holley would be assigned to solving the problem of the business partners withdrawing

capital. As the deadline approached, if the company couldn't get any investments, they would have no

choice but to shut it down.

Bernard suddenly broke the silence.

"About my question yesterday, you said you would think about it," he started. "Have you come up with a

decision?" Perhaps because it was different from the hazy night yesterday, under the bright sunshine,

Bernard looked nervous and awkward obviously.

Rachel faltered,"I have thought about it for a long time. I don't think we know each other enough, so

we... We might not be the best for each other. I am sorry, Bernard."

Bernard felt depressed when he heard it, though it was the answer he expected. He always thought

that Rachel was out of his league. In the past, he could only see her onscreen, and now, even if she

was beside him, he could feel the long distance between them.

Looking at the disappointment in Bernard's eyes, Rachel wanted to take back what she said for a

second, but she was clear that he was not the one she had been looking for. Even with his strong

feelings for her, he was unable to give her the lifestyle that she wanted. She felt sorry for him but she

couldn't be his girlfriend.

Rachel made her way to her office as soon as she arrived Tarsan Corporation. Her assistant told her

that Holley arrived half an hour earlier and was already waiting for her.

Holley was finally released from prison and today she came back to Tarsan Corporation. Rachel

hugged her warmly and stated,"Welcome back, Holley. You have suffered much." Facing Rachel,

Holley smiled sweetly but she had only one thought. She had won the bet fortunately. No matter what

happened during this time, at least Rachel didn't let her down.

Thinking back on the days she was in prison, Holley counted every day as if it was a year long. She

couldn't stand it. There was a lot of times that she thought about retracting her testimony, but

fortunately, she had persisted and endured the hardship. At last, she was finally free. Nothing would

stop her in doing what she wanted.

Now the key point was to use Rachel's appreciation and trust, and to slowly grab the company from

under Rachel's nose. Holley couldn't let herself suffer for nothing.

A slight knock broke their silence as the assistant walked inside Rachel's office, who told Rachel and

Holley that the companies made their decision to withdraw the capital after careful consideration and

they needed Rachel's immediate confirmation.

Upon hearing the news, Rachel turned to Holley immediately. "I know that you have just come back, so

I shouldn't disturb you with these things, but now the company is in great danger. If there is no

investment, it might even face a crisis of bankruptcy. All these companies planning to withdraw their

capital only trust you. So I hope you can deal with this issue as soon as possible. Can you, Holley?"

Rachel asked.

Holley just nodded. Listening to how Rachel explained it, she realized how serious the issue was. So

she came back to her office immediately and started to contact those companies to work out a solution.

Although she was exhausted, thinking that her final purpose was the Tarsan Corporation, she still had

to cheer up and fight head on. If the corporation went bankrupt, she would have nothing.

Holley was fully consumed by her task that she made phone calls the entire morning. She had a spark

in her throat, but at last, she managed to make their business partners backtrack their decision to

withdraw the capital.

She sighed with relief and finally announced the good news to Rachel.

"Don't worry, Ms. Bai. Those companies initially planning to withdraw the capital have decided to stay.

Our company can operate normally. No need to worry about the capital chain."

Although Rachel knew that Holley was capable, she had never thought that Holley could solve the

problem smoothly this fast. Rachel felt surprised, and at the same time, frightened on how

indispensable Holley had become to the company. She even started to become anxious that Holley

would be more and more significant to the company and would later surpass her.

But at this time, Holley had helped the company get through a great difficulty, so Rachel still felt happy.

She decided to shake off all negative thoughts she had.

"Holley, I appreciate all that you have done for me. If it weren't for you, I might have suffered in prison

and the company might have shut down. I have decided to give you a 5 percent stock share to thank

you for what you did for me and the company," Rachel announced.

Holley showed a pleasant and surprised expression and responded,"Thank you, Ms. Bai. I won't

disappoint you. In the future, I will surely make more contributions to the company to repay you."

But how could Holley be satisfied with only 5 percent stock share? She swore to herself that it was just

the beginning.

Rachel appeared to be generous when she gave out the stock, but in reality, she was heartbroken. She

even desired to go back on her promise, but what had been said couldn't be taken back. There was no

use crying over spilled milk.

The day flew by swiftly as they were all occupied by work. Just as Rachel was about to go off work, she

received a message from the police. Miranda and Danny had been arrested successfully. The two

almost went abroad but were caught at the last gasp.

Rachel was initially prepared to head home after work, but after getting the news, she decided to take a

detour and went to the police station instead.

In the reception room of the police station, Rachel finally saw Miranda again. In fact, at the first glance

of the murderer, she felt scared involuntarily. Rachel would inevitably think back that this devil almost

killed her that night.

But soon after, she realized that now, Miranda was just a prisoner and was unable to threaten her

anymore.

"Mrs. Zhan, do you feel surprised to see me today? I have told you before that you will be punished in

the end. Now that day has come, right?" Seeing that Miranda, who was sitting opposite to her, looked

downcast, Rachel felt she had avenged herself.

"My only regret is that I didn't get to successfully kill you." Miranda still acted tough in front of Rachel. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

And that was truly what Miranda thought. Every time she thought back of that day, she regretted

deeply. She had played it over and over in her head and thought that if she would have only taken

action earlier, she wouldn't end up this way.

"Unfortunately, there is no 'if' in this world. And I am bound to be living happily after surviving that

disaster. I wish you happiness in prison," Rachel sneered.

"Rachel, get out! I don't want to see you." Miranda restrained herself the entire time but still got furious

in the end.

"If not for my kindness, I would have not come to visit you, Mrs. Zhan. You are such an ungrateful

person." Rachel just came to add insult to injury and spoke with sarcasm.
