Rae still very admired Leonard in her heart. At least, he was qualified for being a father!
Unlike Kane, Leonard was very thoughtful, but Kane never cared about her life.
She came this time without bringing the medicine that Kane gave her. She could not do it! She disdained to use such a means! She felt that it lost the meaning of revenge! Now, she was a little suspicious that Leonard was a vicious bastard as Kane's father said.
Although with too much emotion, Rae accepted what Leonard told her and she nodded.
Leonard asked again, "Do you have a boyfriend?"
"Yes!" At this time, Mrs Baxter came and said, “I heard that day on the phone. He seems to be her boss!"
"Boss?" Leonard asked, frowning, “Police?"
"No!" Rae denied immediately, “I don’t have a boyfriend!"
She denied it!
She didn't want the Baxter family to know when she had boyfriend, and she was not sure how long her relationship with Marcel will be maintained. Being in a very embarrassed situation, she couldn’t see the future. She didn't know how to be in her own place. She risked herself on the relationship and she didn’t know how to face it when someone else knew about it!
She denied so quickly and made Leonard laugh. “Although I’m very disgusted with the police, since you like him, then bring him back! Don't deny it. Look at yourself. You’re so shy. Clearly you are a little girl who falls in love. Why don’t you dare to tell us?"
Rae's face was red and she lowered her head, feeling hot on her face.
Leonard and his wife exchanged a look and burst out laughing.
"Rae, don't feel sorry. As long as you are happy, mom and dad will not interfere with your marriage!" Leonard said, but sighed, “But it’s a pity that our Baxter family industry cannot be inherited and carried forward! You insist on being a police, and now find a husband who is a policeman. I will retire in a while. What will the Baxter family do then? Who is it for? Donated? I and your mother don't care. We’re capable of supporting our later years. But what about the staff and workers? They are young people who have been struggling to raise their family, which is not easy! What would they do if the new owners come in and lay off them first? That's the most serious problem!"
Leonard never said these words, now he said so lightly, which shocked Rae. She began to re-examine this person! He also considered so many people's livelihood, which Rae never thought of!
It turned out that large enterprises would also consider the livelihood of employees. He was not a cold-blooded person!
How could he have killed his mother and brother?
Rae was very confused.
However, these doubts she could only keep to herself. Now Raphael's problem was the priority, and she wanted to run for him. “Dad, the most famous Lawyer King of the Ministry of law, can he help him defend Raphael?"
"No problem, they’re our employee, and of course they are going to work for us. I will call in my study now and arrange Lawyer King and his students to form a lawyer group! Raphael is good to you. I know he wants to marry you. I also watch him grow up. I hope he has a good result!"
Rae was a little worried, "But Raphael his father wants him to die. What to do?"
Leonard frowned and looked back at Rae. “What do you mean?”
Rae had no choice but to tell Leonard and Mrs Baxter the whole story and they were all sorry for him after hearing it.
"This old man is really vicious!" Leonard patted the table. “I think he wants to have his illegitimate son to inherit! Now is the crisis of Gill Group If his illegitimate son is excellent, he can pull the tide and make it a good time! This old fox is really powerful!"
"How to do?" Rae asked him.
"Don't worry. Pei's legal department is very powerful! At the worst, I will pay for the better!" Leonard promised. “Don't leave today. I'll go to my study and make a phone call. You can have a chat with your mother!" he said.
Leonard went to the study. Rae and Mrs Baxter sat on the sofa. Rae was quite, but Mrs Baxter kept talking for a while. Later, Rae couldn’t stand and went upstairs!
Leonard finished the phone call, went to her room and told her, "I've arranged it. They'll leave for the Procuratorate immediately. Don't worry!"
"Will Raphael be sentenced to death?"
"This can't be determined until the lawyer team has studied and understood it. It's hard to say at present!" Leonard said with reason.
Rae still left Pei's house. She didn't stay. She went to the mall on the way.
She strolled around the department store for a while. As her foot was not recovered, she didn't dare to walk a long time. She just bought some washing and moisturizing products and came out. She walked forward with her head down. A man in front of her seemed to be in a hurry. That man didn't seem to notice and directly ran into Rae.
After a crash, Rae's bag fell to the ground. She suddenly looked up and saw a man standing there, reaching out to help her. He looked very sorry.
"I'm sorry!" He apologized deeply, “I accidentally hit you."
That was a man in his mid-20s. He looked about the same age as Rae. He was very good-looking. His hair was not long or short, and his face was very resolute. His eyes were deep and mysterious. With straight nose and nice lips, the facial features on this face were very well combined, and his skin was even better!
Rae immediately shook her head. “It's all right.”
The man had bowed his head to help her pick up the falling objects, and Rae also squatted down to pick up things.
At this time, the man took a bottle of essence in his hand to Rae and said, "It’s broken. I’m sorry. Let me pay you one."
