At that moment, he was frowning when he saw that she was going out. “What are you going to do?”
“I!” Rae paused for a while and said, “I’m going back to the Baxter house!”
“What are you going to do there?”
“Family issues!” Rae said.
“Hmm!” Marcel nodded and then he did not say anything else.
Rae went downstairs. She went to the alley which was located opposite her office carefully and she saw the film store.
Rae just saw Kane sitting in the position of the video store’s owner when she walked in. He was receiving money at the counter.
There was someone who bought a disc. He took a glance at it and then collected the money.
Rae was shocked, did Kane just start a business of selling discs and films outside her office?
Rae did not dare to ask him as there were still other people next to him.
He was busy at the moment!
Kane took a glance at her. Then he spoke to her after receiving money from his customers, “I have prepared the disc that you want but it is inside now. I’ll go in and get it for you later. I am busy at this moment, please wait for a while!”
Rae nodded as she knew that he was saying that on purpose. “Alright!”
Soon, the few people left there. Kane stood up and spoke to her, “Follow me!”
Rae cowered subconsciously but still, she followed Kane to walk into the room.
Kane closed the door after they got in.
Rae was pursing her lips and waiting for him to start the conversation.
He was staring at Rae with a sullen face. It seemed that he was very dissatisfied with Rae. His eyes that were watching Rae looked like watching an enemy with a gloomy coldness and was not like looking at his daughter.
She saw that he was not speaking and just stared at her with his scary gloomy face. Rae had no choice but to break the silence, “I think maybe Rae was having a messy private life in the past so many people are coming to find me now and say some inexplicable words. I think I might be exposed!”
“Have you drugged Leonard?” Kane was speaking in a cold voice.
Rae answered him with a nod after hearing his question. “Yes, I am already starting!”
Kane’s mood seemed to turn better. He just used his old eyes to look at Rae, “You’re not bluffing me, right?”
“If you don’t believe me, you can go and drug him by yourself!” Rae’s tone was getting a bit firmer. “I really despise doing such a thing but I have no choice because of you! You were the police, you should know that this action is breaking a rule but you still asked me to do it, I really have no idea what exactly you want!”
Kane just looked at her indifferently and said coldly, “It is all because of you who are so stupid and haven’t found any trace of the past until now. Therefore, I had no choice but to use this way. How dare you ask me about it?”
Rae was stunned and then she stopped talking.
Maybe she had realized that she had said something wrong. Kane eased his facial expression and said, “Nat, I know you are in grievance. It will end soon. It will be over very soon!”
Rae wanted to laugh and cry. It would be over soon. That was right, her life would probably come to an end soon too.
However, she was not saying a word.
Kane took out a very small plastic bag from the back of his storeroom. She estimated that it was containing the drug. “This is for Leonard. You put it in his tea. You just need to add a fingernail of it in his tea per day!”
Rae nodded.
“I will be angry if I discover that you are not doing so. Don’t blame me for getting angry with you then!”
“I got it!” Rae was still coping with him. She seemed to have thought of something and she said, “Oh, please bring me a copy of the disc and video of Rae, I want to take a look at them!”
Suddenly, Kane raised his eyebrows and sneered. “You don’t watch that thing first. I don’t care about the relationship between you and Marcel. It’s your freedom to be in love with anyone but I will totally not allow you to delay the plan!”
Rae was not insisting to get the disc since he didn’t want to let her watch it. She just said, “Can I leave now?”
“Go ahead!” Kane just simply gave her a disc. He handed it to her and said, “Take this, just say that you are coming here to buy a disc if there is anyone asks you!”
“Okay!”
Rae nodded.
Kane didn’t follow her to go out when she was walking towards the door. Rae walked to the area of the store outside. Her vision fell on the cup which was at the side of the counter inadvertently. She lowered her head, she seemed to mutter to herself irresolutely for a while. Then, she pondered and looked back at the side of the storeroom. After that, her eyes scanned the house for cameras. Finally, she was sure that there was no camera there and casually picked up Kane’s cups and walked out of his store without showing any suspicious look.
Rae left his store after taking away Kane’s cup. She went straight back to her office.
She put all the things that Kane gave her into her bag. Then, she called Gustavo on the way.
“Gustavo, are you free?”
“I’m working outside, do you have any matter? Rae!” The place that Gustavo was staying seemed a bit noisy. It sounded like he was in a car.
“Yes, I have something. However, you are not here right now. When will you be back?” Rae asked him.
“Well, I think I will be back at 4 or 5 pm!” Gustavo also could not predict the exact time at the moment.
“Alright, I’ll look for you then. Remember to call me when you are back!”

the writing is quite childish, but maybe it's just the translations...
